Memorial Day weekend has been amazing for MLB DFS players for the past two days. This 15-game slate of baseball games will have a lot of action for fantasy players this Sunday. On the tail end of Memorial Day weekend, there could be fun lineups for MLB DFS pools.
One featured game will be the Oakland Athletics facing the Houston Astros at home. Another good game for fantasy leagues this Sunday night will be the New York Yankees facing the San Diego Padres in their series’ last game. The MLB season is on fire, and fantasy players could win more this weekend.
With Memorial Day weekend here, your MLB DFS weekend is starting hot with this Saturday edition of DraftKings Fantasy Pools.
May 26th MLB DFS Starts
C William Contreras, Milwaukee Brewers at Boston Red Sox ($5,800 – DraftKings)
Milwaukee is heading to Boston on a hot streak, and William Contreras could deliver more today. In his last game, Contreras went 1-5 with a double against the Red Sox.
This hot streak could continue for the Brewers’ top hitter. Milwaukee depends on Contreras and he is delivering for the team this May. Along with providing for his team, Contreras is helping his fantasy team, too.
1B Ryan Mountcastle, Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox ($4,600 – DraftKings)
This season for the Orioles has been amazing so far, and Baltimore’s young core is a reason why. The Orioles’ power hitter Ryan Mountcastle has been doing well for the team. In his last game, Mountcastle went 1-5 against the White Sox in their game on Saturday.
With Ryan Mountcastle doing well, the O’s could win another one. Mountcastle could also do well for MLB DFS fantasy owners too.
OF Christian Yelich, Milwaukee Brewers at Boston Red Sox( 5,500 – DraftKings)
With the Brewers being hot again, they will have Christian Yelich lead the way. In his last game, Christian Yelich went 1-4 against Boston. While the stats for Yelich on that game aren’t supportive, his season stats are.
During this season, the Brewers outfielder had a good season with a .323 batting average and five home runs. Those numbers are sexy to an MLB DFS player and could get some wins today.
May 26th MLB DFS Sits
OF Ronlad Acuna Jr, Atlanta Braves at. Chicago Cubs ($6,000 – DraftKings)
Again Acuna is struggling to find a streaking for his hitting. During the loss against the Pirates Acuna went 1-5 in the loss. Even with the support from other media places, Acuna has been mediocre and is hurting the team. Acuna has not been the same since his injuries and has cost his fantasy teams games. Even with a potential strong game today, There is doubt, it could get worse for the Braves star.
SS Willy Adames, Milwaukee Brewers at Boston Red Sox ($4,900 – DraftKings)
Willy Adames was a great baseball player for years, but they might take him out. In his last game, Adames went 1-4 with a double in the losing effort. There is a chance that the Adames could do well against the Red Sox pitching but could fall apart.
This game could be the wake-up car that people are in. Even against the Red Sox, it is said that Adames might be struggling to elevate the ball.
2B Jeff McNeil, San Francisco Giants at New York Mets ($3,000 – DraftKings)
McNeil’s struggles continued with the Mets losing four straight and blowing leads. This season for McNeil has been a disaster with a 0-3 game.
These performances by McNeil are discouraging players from drafting him in fantasy lineups. There is a reason why people are giving up on McNeil and picking him is not worthy of a MLB DFS lineup start.
May 26th MLB DFS Best Stack
The best stack for today’s games this Sunday could be Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg. The duo again will be facing one of the worst teams in the White Sox this Sunday. While the games have been close, Baltimore is finding ways to win. In these games today, while there are stars, there are also underdogs, like the O’s winning games again.
Jordan Westburg will have a monster game against the White Sox and could have Henderson join in. Westburg has been having a great season with the O’s and could be there long-term. Along with Westburg, Gunnar Henderson is also another great player for the cause. The numbers for Henderson could be larger today for MLB DFS fantasy players in great ways and more.
