These fantasy lineups and stacks could help you win big money, in your MLB DFS today and more this month.
May 8th MLB DFS Starts
SP Chris Paddack, Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins ($6,500 – DraftKings)
Chris Paddack in his last start held the Boston Red Sox to two hits and no runs with six strikeouts. Paddack this season has been a consistent pitcher for the Twins this season. Even with a ERA of 4.78 Paddock has been dependable for the Twins.
He is also facing a decent matchup with the Mariners and could do well tonight with their hitters. Paddack could have a good game against the Twins tonight.
C Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins ($4,300 – DraftKings)
During the win against the Twins, Cal Raleigh went 1-1 with a grand slam for the offense. Raleigh is showing the power of the Mariners’ offense, by getting big hits and driving in runs. Raleigh’s power for this year has been good with nine home runs.
Even with a low batting average, his power could win your MLB DFS game. Raleigh is called the big dumpy and could get you a big win today.
1B Jon Singleton Houston Astros at New York Yankees ($2,800 – DraftKings)
Houston is having a sluggish season so far with struggling with their pitching and hitting, but Jon Singleton is a bright spot. During the loss against the Yankees, Singleton went 0-1 with three walks but holds a .254 batting average with three home runs.
Jon Singleton could do great against the Yankees pitching. Singleton could have a good game against the Yankees pitching today with windy conditions favoring the Astros.
May 3rd MLB DFS Sits
2B Gleyber Torres, Houston Astros at New York Yankees($6,400)
Gleyber Torres against the Astros was ineffective in the win, going 0-4 with a walk. The Yankees second baseman has been a disappointment, batting around .216 and only getting seven RBIs. While he could break out soon, it could take a while against the Astros.
Even against this weakened Astros pitching staff, Torres has struggled. The hitting for the Yankees has been surging but Torres hasn’t been a part of it and should sit down.
2B Vaughn Grissom, Boston Red Sox at Atlanta Braves ($2,900 – DraftKings)
There is some pleasure in seeing players that talk smack and fall brutally. Grissom this season has been putrid with the Red Sox and even with a 1-5 performance, he has a .154 average. The former Brave will be facing his team again tonight but could have trouble against their pitching. Grissom should be on the bench in reality and your MLB DFS for today until he shows improvement on the batting plate.
SS Ezequiel Tovar San Fransisco Giants at. Colorado Rockies ($4,700 – DraftKings)
While some of the numbers favor Tovar, he is showing a cold streak right now for the Rockies. The Rockies’ young shortstop has gotten decent numbers but has gone 1-4 yesterday and would cost you fantasy points. Right now the Rockies are in Coors Field but the Giants’ pitching has been containing Tovar in the series. This author advises not to take him while he is at his coldest right now.
May 6th MLB DFS Best Stack
The best MLB DFS stack for the 16-game slate of games will be Cal Raleigh and Jon Singleton. Cal Raleigh has shown that he could break out with his power and could do well tonight. He homered against the Twins last night and could do it again tonight. The Mariners slugger has come in clutch during his time and could do it again for your MLF DFS.
Another pick that will help your stack tonight is Jon Singleton for the Astros. While the Astros season has been a disaster, Singleton has done well for the fantasy teams. Singleton has been getting clutch hits for the Astros and MLB DFS teams you need to get him now. While he could cool down, Jon Singleton is hot and could provide you with some wins tonight.
