Another good game for fantasy leagues this Saturday night will be the New York Yankees facing the San Diego Padres in their second 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 25th MLB DFS Starts
SP Luis Severino, San Francisco Giants at New York Mets ($7,700 – DraftKings)
While the Mets are a complete disaster this season, Luis Severino has been solid. Luis Severino, in his last start, went through 6.2 innings, striking out three but giving up six runs.
While the Mets ace struggled, he could come back big. San Francisco, while taking one game, had struggled before the comeback win. Today could be a good one for Luis Severino and fantasy owners today.
2B Jordan Westburg, Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox ($5,300 – DraftKings)
Baltimore is facing one of the worst teams this season, and Jordan Westburg could take advantage. Westburg, in his last game, went 1-4 against the White Sox and could go for more hits.
Westburg had a wonderful game against the White Sox and could carry an MLB DFS team today.
1B Pete Alonso, San Francisco Giants at New York Mets ($5,200 – DraftKings)
With the New York Mets struggling right now, Pete Alonso could help with a strong game. In the loss against the Giants, Alonso went 2-5 with a home run. The Mets slugger is getting back to his grove and could help the Mets right now.
This team has been a disaster, but Alonso could carry the team. Pete Alonso’s power could also help power you to a win on this Saturday’s afternoon games.
May 25th MLB DFS Sits
OF Ronald Acuna Jr, Atlanta Braves at. Chicago Cubs ($6,000 – DraftKings)
Ronald Acuna is having a nightmare season for his team and fantasy and MLB DFS players. In his last game, Acuna did deliver a 2-4 with a home run but is struggling at the plate right now. This season, Acuna is batting .247 with four home runs.
With the Braves having World Series expectations, Acuna could hold them back. Along with being dreadful, Acuna could cost you an MLB DFS game, so stay away.
SS Javier Baez, Toronto Blue Jays at. Detroit Tigers ($3,100 – DraftKings)
Javy Baez has not been the same since going to Detroit in 2022 and has been struggling. Even with a decent 1-3 performance, the Tigers shortstop has been sluggish. Baez has been striking out at an unrealistic rate and needs to stop. Even with a decent game, Baez’s average has been awful. Taking Baez in your MLB DFS pool is crazy and could backfire horribly.
2B Jeff McNeil, San Francisco Giants at New York Mets ($3,000 – DraftKings)
The Mets have been awful lately, and Jeff McNeil is one of its problems. While the Mets hitting has been putrid, McNeil had a decent 1-4 game. New York needs Jeff McNeil to do well, but there is doubt of his performance lately.
McNeil’s average is a .240 batting average is below his usual standards. MLB DFS owners should have McNeil sit for this game and season due to these struggles.
May 25th MLB DFS Best Stack
In this Saturday’s Memorial Day weekend duo stacks, the choice of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge could be a great combo. During the game last night, the Yankees’ star players were hitting back-to-back homers. Juan Soto is one of the hotter hitters for the Yankees and could do it again. Soto is helping the Yankees offense and could do it again tonight.
Aaron Judge is also heating up with the Yankees lineup. Judge hit a home run against the Padres last night. This hot streak for the Yankees could elevate the team to new heights. Aaron Judge elevating himself could help the Yankees and fantasy owners win some big games tonight.
This Saturday, the dynamic duo of this Bronx Bombers team could win an MLB DFS pool for your fantasy team.
