After a trio of afternoon games on Saturday, it’s time to dig into the night slate. Tonight’s top game features Walker Buehler taking the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road against the New York Mets. Let’s dive into the top Monkey Knife Fight MLB DFS plays and MLB picks today on Aug. 14.
Tonight’s Top Monkey Knife Fight MLB Picks
Monkey Knife Fight has a ton of profitable contests for the public, and here we will break down the two best areas from which to make MLB picks.
More or Less — Pick 2 | Prize: 3x
Walker Buehler vs. Taijuan Walker
Buehler has been remarkable in his last six outings, notching a “quality start” in each of them. In five of those six starts, the right-hander has even posted seven strikeouts or more. However, tonight’s matchup will be a little tougher than expected. The Mets are right around league-average in K-rate (23.3%) against right-handed pitching. In fact, only one starting pitcher has exceeded the 7.5 strikeout mark in the month of August against New York. Buehler will likely have a great night on the mound, but it won’t come with many strikeouts.
Walker has completely unraveled since the All-Star Break, going 0-4 with a 9.86 ERA in five starts. The Dodgers are one of the best offenses in MLB, so coming in with that type of form isn’t going to help him any. Walker hasn’t been having much luck in the strikeout department, with four strikeouts or fewer in five of his last six starts.
Home Run Blast MLB Picks | Pick: 3, Prize: 10x
For this contest, pick three players that will hit a home run and win 10 times the buy-in.
Aledmys Diaz + Kyle Tucker + Shohei Ohtani
One lefty and one righty both have great chances to go yard against Angels right-hander Jaime Barria. Diaz is clearly the hottest Astros’ hitter, slashing .500/.524/.650 over the last six games. In addition, he is 3-for-7 against Barria lifetime with a home run. Not to be outdone, Tucker has some success against Barria as well, going 2-for-4 with two home runs. Ohtani may not be the Angels’ hottest hitter at the moment, but he is the one you want to home run. According to the Awesemo expert projections, Ohtani is the top-rated hitter in the LA lineup tonight.
