FanDuel MLB: Picks and Pivots for August 1st

Welcome to the Monday edition of Picks & Pivots, a daily fantasy baseball column focused on providing analysis and insights into the top FanDuel MLB lineups. The purpose of this column is to first identify key building blocks that can be used for any roster construction and then identify pivot points to help differentiate your lineup in hopes of a big payday!

I am back after taking Sunday off as I had the opportunity to take my father to the Mets-Rockies game on Saturday night to see Mike Piazza have his number retired alongside Tom Seaver! I am back now and ready to get into the DFS slate for Monday!
