First Look: MLB Fantasy Picks Today for DFS (5/17)

Full-slate Fridays are back, and this Friday that means a 13-game MLB DFS slate, with Paul Skenes headlining a day game at Wrigley (we may want to get some showdown action in on that) and the Phillies doing the 6:40 p.m. ET thing.

We are left with a wide-open slate dynamic, with a couple of bona fide aces that pile up the strikeouts in Freddy Peralta and Tarik Skubal at the top, as well as some higher-variance arms in good matchups and ballpark contexts like Kyle Harrison, Christian Scott and Jesus Luzardo. How we ultimately decide to build will come down to where we see industry rostership coalescing and what leverage points we can attack, but as of this writing, I will be employing a balanced if not value-driven pitching build to try and take advantage of some elite hitting spots.
