May 15th MLB DFS Starts
https://gty.im/2152991131
2B Luis Arraez, Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres ($4,500 – DraftKings)
The star second baseman for the Padres has again been a hitting machine for them, getting two hits yesterday. Luis Arraez has been dynamite for the Padres since coming to San Diego and will continue to do so today.
Arraez could have another good game against the Rockies today. Colorado’s pitching has been putrid and it should be a great game for the Padres second baseman for fantasy teams.
1B Ryan McMahon, Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres($4,700)
The Rockies’ first baseman Ryan McMahon has been the only constant light in this dreadful season. Colorado’s first baseman went 2-3 with a home run against the Padres. While the season has been a nightmare for Colorado, they still have a star in first base with Ryan McMahon.
The Rockies hitter is hot right now and could score some easy MLB DFS fantasy wins and him being cheap too.
OF Joc Pederson, Cincinnati Reds at. Arizona Diamondbacks ($4,400)
Joc Pederson is another hot hitter on the West Coast that could help your MLB DFS lineups today. While Pederson could get another cold streak, his bat is hot right now getting at least six hits in his last six games.
Pederson had a good game, going 1-4 with a double, and could break out again. Arizona is at home with the ballpark being hitter-friendly and could do well today against the Reds pitching.
May 15th MLB DFS Sits
https://gty.im/2152023202
SS CJ Abrams, Washington Nationals at. Chicago White Sox($5,900)
A bat that could get sit down today is the Nationals’ young shortstop CJ Abrams. While the young hitter is facing against a poor team, he had gone hitless in the series. With the cold streak, it is wise to have Abrams on the bench for your teams today. CJ Abrams is a good player but right now is a liability and should be a sit for your MLB DFS team.
SP Austin Gomber, Colorado Rockies at. San Diego Padres ($4,500 – DraftKings)
The Rockies starter in his last start pitched 6.2 innings, with five strikeouts and allowed one earned run. While the stats are okay for him now, he will face a Padres team that took him deep once. The Padres ran Gomber out in his last start against them and it could happen again. San Diego will try to salvage the series against him and it could get ugly for Gomber.
OF Jazz Chisholm Jr Miami Marlins at. Detriot Tigers ($5,100 – DraftKings)
While the Marlins star has done well in the past, he is struggling right now. Jazz Chisholm was hitless last night being 0-4. The Marlins outfielder could break out of that slump but could head to another cold streak.
Miami season is a nightmare and Jazz Chisholm’s stats aren’t helping. Even with a hot streak before yesterday, Chisholm should not be touched with a ten-foot pole due to being streaky.
May 15th MLB DFS Best Stack
https://gty.im/2152828271
For today’s MLB stack of the day, there is a chance that the duo of Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer could break out today. De La Cruz’s power is no surprise with nine home runs this season. He and Steer who has power too could do well today against the Diamondbacks pitching staff.
The Reds will face a struggling Brandon Pfaadt, and De La Cruz could be in for a monster game today. Along with Cruz is Spencer Steer who has power and could do well today against the struggling starter. With the Reds trying to find some ground this season, they could take the series against the defending National League champions and for your MLB DFS teams today.
