MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for August 8, 2021

Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Famer Scott Engel shares his top MLB DFS picks

ByUpdated: Aug 08, 2021 3:09PM UTC . 2 min read

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups for daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel on Sunday, August 8, you NEED to see the top MLB DFS picks from Scott Engel. Engel is a daily Fantasy pro and an inaugural member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Fame.

SportsLine's Engel is a prime source to consult for DFS success. Engel has been a premier analyst and Fantasy personality for 25 years. He is a four-time FSWA Award Winner and 10-time nominee, including winning an FSWA award for Best Fantasy Baseball Series.

On Saturday, Engel included Reds outfielder Jesse Winker as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The result: Winker went 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBIs to return 48.4 points on FD and 34 points on DK. Anybody who followed that pick was well on their way to a profitable day.

One of Engel's top MLB DFS picks for Sunday is Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler at $10,400 on DraftKings and $10,700 on FanDuel. Part of Engel's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes rostering Rays designated hitter Nelson Cruz ($5,200 on DraftKings, $3,500 on FanDuel), who is 4-for-11 with two home runs and seven RBIs in his last two games. 

Engel is also targeting a player who is set to EXPLODE for huge numbers on Sunday! The stars are aligning for him to return tournament-winning value, and he comes at a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing in big or going home with nothing!
