DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/27/16): MLB DFS Advice

After a while, the Rockies return to Coors! It's been too long since we've seen that bump, and it's time to take advantage of it!

Well, let's get down to it!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/27/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings.

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

 

Colorado Rockies - The Rockies will be playing in Colorado against Matt Cain, who has struggled quite a bit this season. The game is set at 10.5 runs, and the Rockies have as much upside as any stack tonight.

San Francisco GiantsThe Giants are the favorites in Coors, which is always a great position to be in. They are projected to score over five runs tonight, and they are a great offense to stack.

New York MetsThe Mets are a team with a ton of upside, but they also come with a ton of risk. They get a terrible matchup against Julio Urias, who is an elite prospect, but sometimes rookies struggle and the Mets are an offense that can score on anyone. They are a GPP only option.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

 

Felix HernandezKing Felix has looked like an elite pitcher at home this season. He gets a great matchup against the Twins, who have struggled this season. They also strikeout quite a bit, which will help Hernandez's upside. He can be used in all leagues.

Jacob deGromdeGrom has struggled quite a bit this season, but he's still a pitcher with elite upside. He gets a good matchup against the Dodgers, who have struggled this season and deGrom is a -152 favorite in a game set at 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Tyler Wolters - Wolters is surprisingly expensive, which means he's going to be low owned tonight. He's a fairly safe option with decent upside and he gets a great matchup against Cain. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

First Base (1B)

Chris CarterCarter gets a good matchup against John Lamb in Milwaukee tonight. He has been a significantly better hitter at home this season, and the Reds have one of the worst pitching staffs in the MLB.

Second Base (2B)

Johnny GiavotellaGiavotella has been on fire recently. He's hitting over .350 while displaying good speed in his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Fiers, and Giavotella is a great option for his price tag.

Shortstop (SS)

Jonathan VillarAny team against the Reds pitching staff is a good option, and Villar has been hot recently. He'll also be playing in an extremely hitter friendly stadium, and Villar can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Nolan ArenadoArenado is one of my favorite players to use when he's in Coors. He's hitting .315 in Colorado this season and he gets an elite matchup against Matt Cain. He has been struggling recently, though, so he's best suited for GPPs.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

 

Ryan BraunBraun is enjoying a tremendous season, and he gets a great matchup against Lamb in a hitter friendly stadium. He isn't a cheap option, but he's an elite play tonight.

Carlos GonzalezCarGo is a great GPP option for the Rockies, as he gets an elite matchup against Matt Cain. The Rockies should be able to score a ton of runs tonight, and their entire outfield can be used.

Michael BournBourn has been playing well since getting the starting job for the Diamondbacks. He gets a good matchup tonight, and he still isn't all that expensive. He's best suited for GPPs, though.
