This article focuses on 7/1 EPL Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and Fanduel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large.
7/1 EPL Slate
On tap, we have a Wednesday afternoon slate with a couple decent favorites and some pick ems. DraftKings will be running a three game slate with everything at main lock, whereas FanDuel is also including the late game featuring Chelsea.
EPL Best Bets
Norwich City (+650) at Arsenal (-235) – Over 3 Goals (-120) – 1:00 PM ET – Wednesday 7/1 – *ARSENAL*
Chelsea (-190) at West Ham (+500) – Under 3 Goals (-115) – 3:15 PM ET – Wednesday 7/1 – *CHELSEA*
The Betting Game Plan
The Arsenal and Chelsea parlay seems like the cash game bet. Arsenal has been a mess but is getting tossed a softball in terms of matchup. They will get the pleasure of facing bottom of the table and soon to be relegated Norwich City at home.
Chelsea is coming off a huge win over Manchester City. Christian Pulisic is hurt, but I don’t think they will need him against lowly West Ham.

7/1 MKF Pick
With a sweet matchup on tap against Norwich, I like Aubameyang’s chances of getting on the board here. He has the highest goal scoring odds on the slate at -157 and a goal pays this off. As for Kenny McLean, who he is paired with on Monkey Knife Fight, I will take the under. McLean only has three shots on goal across 15 full games.
