Optimal MLB DFS picks and advice for August 11 from DFS pro Jacob Gibbs

Building MLB DFS lineups this Tuesday? See what SportsLine's DFS Guru Jacob Gibbs has to say first. Gibbs is a data-driven Daily Fantasy Sports specialist who's never had a losing season.

Previously an analyst at numberFire, Jacob got his start in DFS seven years ago, turning a $25 deposit into nearly $3,000 his first season. Gibbs crushed MLB season last year, cashing around 52 percent of the time in cash games and nearly 42 percent of the time in tournaments. He also develops proprietary rankings and projections, which help him find the best DFS values and create profitable lineups. Be sure to check his lineups and player pool out daily before setting your own lineups.

Tonight, Gibbs is focusing on a value pitcher with big-time upside to help fit in studs like Trevor Story and Nolan Arenado. View which salary-savers he's targeting here!
