May 9th MLB DFS Starts
https://gty.im/2151512117
SP Paul Blackburn, Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners ($7,500 – DraftKings)
In his last start, Paul Blackburn went seven innings, striking out three hitters and allowing only one run. Blackburn is putting up a stellar season with a 3.00 ERA and could have another great start tonight.
Oakland is getting hot, and Blackburn will be a steal for your MLB DFS teams. The Athletics are in the driver’s seat of a hot run, and their ace Blackburn could keep it going against a hated rival.
C William Contreras, St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers($5,600)
In the win against the Cardinals, William Contreras went 3-4, driving in an RBI against the Cardinals. Contreras is one of the Brewers’ better hitters this season, with a staggering .340 batting average.
Contreras is also driving in runs with 30 RBIs this season, with five home runs coming to this game. The young catcher is doing well against Cardinals pitching, and Contreras must be in your MLB DFS lineups right now.
OF Teoscar Hernandez, Los Angeles Dodgers at. San Diego Padres($5,100)
Tonight, the Dodgers outfielder will have a nice night against the Padres pitching after having a 2-3 game. Hernandez had a home run in the win against the Marlins last night and could be on a hot streak.
The Dodgers slugger against the Padres has been hit-and-miss this season with one home run. Teoscar Hernandez could get another good night for fantasy owners due to the Dodgers’ win streak and could hit well tonight.
May 9th MLB DFS Sits
https://gty.im/2150768094
1B Wilmer Flores, Cincinnati Reds at San Fransisco Giants($4,400)
In the loss against the Rockies, the Giants first baseman went 0-4 with a strikeout in Coors Field. Right now, Wilmer Flores, coming back from the IL, has not looked good. He is struggling on the plate and needs a rest.
With the loss against the Rockies in their heads, the Giants might rest Flores, and you should, too, in your MLB DFS lineups. Even if he gets hot, he has a batting .204 average.
SS Bo Bichette, Minnesota Twins at Toronto Blue Jays ($4,700 – DraftKings)
The Toronto Blue Jays are a mess, and Bo Bichette isn’t helping them. Toronto’s young shortstop is struggling at the plate right now and had a 1-4 game with an RBI in Philadelphia.
The Blue Jays young star is struggling with a .191 batting average and a brutal .514 OPS for this young season. There is hope that Bichette could find his bat against the Twins, and he should be out of your lineups today.
P Jose Quintana, Atlanta Braves at. New York Mets ($7,600 – DraftKings)
After a great start in the season, Jose Quintana had his worst start in Tampa Bay on May 3rd. The start was a nightmare, with the Rays hitting and running circles around the Mets starter.
While Quintana did well against the Braves in April, he gave up three runs. The Mets are the definition of mediocrity, and Quintana should be avoided tonight in this prime-time game against a hated divisional rival.
May 9th MLB DFS Best Stack
The best MLB DFS stack for this Thursday’s games is the duo of Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts for the Dodgers. While Teoscar Hernandez is hot right now, it could be Freeman and Betts’s turn to let loose against the Padres pitching staff. The Dodgers are on a seven-game winning streak, and the duo could beat up the Padres tonight.
Freddie Freeman is having another solid season with a .301 batting average along with Mookie with a .346 batting average. The duo could cause havoc on the Padres starter Micheal King, who is struggling. With the Dodgers’ hot streak coming to San Diego, the duo of Mookie and Freddie could well tonight for your MLB DFS fantasy leagues.
