With Memorial Day weekend here, your MLB DFS weekend is starting hot with this Friday’s edition of DraftKings Fantasy Pools.
May 24th MLB DFS Starts
SP James Paxton Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds ($8,200 – DraftKings)
James Paxton is having a great season with the Dodgers and could have another good one tonight. In his last start, Paxton pitched six innings, striking out two but allowed three earned runs.
The start was against the Reds, which he will face again this season. This season for Paxton has been spectacular with a 2.84 ERA and 24 strikeouts. James Paxton is doing well and could easily win an MLB DFS game.
C J.T. Realmuto, Philadelphia Phillies at Colorado Rockies ($5,400 – DraftKings)
The Philadelphia Phillies are the hottest team in the league and are rolling teams over. J.T. Realmuto is one of the crucial hitters in the Phillies line-up and could win an MLB DFS game today.
Realmuto in his last game went 1-3 with a home run against the Rangers. With the Phillies’ bats getting hot this season, Realmuto could have a strong game today against the Rockies pitching.
1B Pete Alonso, San Francisco Giants at New York Mets ($5,200 – DraftKings)
Even if the New York Mets season is a nightmare, Pete Alonso could hit a home run. In his last game, Alonso went 1-4 with a home run, in the loss against the Guardians.
While the Mets had struggled against the Giants this season Alonso had hit a home run against them. If the Mets could salvage this season, they need Alonso to do well tonight against the Giants.
May 24th MLB DFS Sits
SP Christian Scott, San Francisco Giants at. New York Mets ($7,900 – DraftKings)
The New York Mets are a complete mess and could ruin another start by Christian Scott. Scott in his last start went four innings but gave up four runs and three strikeouts. The Mets right now are a disaster and Scott could have a bad game Friday.
Even with his potential, the team nightmare May could continue against a weak Giants team. With the season lost, having Scott could be costly for your DFS
1B Jake Croneworth, New York Yankees at. San Diego Padres ($4,200 – DraftKings)
With the hot Yankees heading to San Diego, it could be a long day for the Padres, including Jake Croneworth. Cronenworth in his last game, went 0-4 in the win against the Reds. While Croneworth is having a strong season, he could slow down against the Yankees.
There is a high chance the Yankees could slow his power down tonight against each other. MLB DFS players should have Cronenworth sit for now.
1B J.D. Davis, Houston Astros at Oakland Athletics ($3,500 – DraftKings)
The A’s have been struggling lately and J.D. Davis is not helping the team. While he did go 2-6 with a home run, the first baseman has been struggling. Davis has been hitting for .208 and is not contributing to the team. MLB DFS players should not start Davis for the season due to his inconsistency.
May 24th MLB DFS Best Stack
The best stack for this Friday’s MLB games could be J.T. Realmuto and Bryson Stott for the Phillies. With Realmuto getting hot, he could have some home runs against the Rockies pitching. Along with being hot, Realmuto is also in Colorado which could easily give him a multi-homer game.
Another stack player who will do well is Bryson Stott in Colorado. Stott, while not hitting well right now, could come back big against the Rockies. In Colorado, the altitude could help Stott get some needed hits. Bryson Stott and J.T. Realmuto could get a great win for your MLB DFS stacks tonight.
