DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/31/16): MLB DFS Advice

The Reds pitching staff has been deemed the "New Coors" this season. But now they will be throwing in Coors, which means this is a game that needs to be targets. Yesterday, the CIN/COL game featured 19 runs, including seven home runs.

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 5/31/16. 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 RockiesThe Rockies will be playing the worst pitching staff in the MLB in the most hitter friendly stadium in the Majors. They are -163 favorites in a game set at 11.5 runs, and they can be used in all leagues.

Cincinnati Reds - The Reds are underdogs, but the game is still set at 11.5 runs. They displayed tremendous power yesterday and that will likely continues tonight. They can be stacked in all leagues.

St. Louis CardinalsThe Cardinals get a great matchup against Peralta, who has an ERA over 6.00 this season. They will also be playing in an extremely hitter friendly stadium. They are -153 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they are a great stacking option if you want to avoid Coors.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

 

Steven MatzAfter struggling in his first start, Matz has looked great. He has allowed two or less earned runs in seven consecutive starts, and he's 7-0 over that span. He also has a good strikeout rate, and he's a -178 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Joe RossRoss has looked good this season, especially on the road. He gets a great matchup against the Phillies, who have really struggled this season, and Ross is a -137 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs. His strikeout rate is a bit low, but he can still be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Tyler Wolters - Wolters sat yesterday, which means he'll likely draw the start tonight. He gets a great matchup against Moscot, and Wolters is one of the cheaper players for the Rockies. He has been playing well recently, and he can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Matt AdamsAdams is a sneaky play at first base tonight. He gets a great matchup against Peralta in a hitter friendly stadium, and he has been on fire. He has been great when getting a full games worth of at-bats and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Greg GarciaIf Garcia is starting, he should in your lineup. He has looked outstanding in his limited time this season, as he's hitting over .500 with a bit of power. He's still extremely cheap, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Xander BogaertsBogaerts is on a huge hitting streak right now, and he's hitting nearly .400 in his last 10 games. He's as consistent as they come and he also has great upside. He is one of many elite options at shortstop tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Hernan PerezPerez has been priced too low for far too long now. On the season, he's hitting over .300 with good speed. He gets a good matchup against Leake, and Perez is an elite salary relief option tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

 

Carlos GonzalezCarGo has really been heating up recently, and he hit a home run yesterday against the Reds. He gets another great matchup tonight, as Moscot has looked terrible this season. CarGo can be used in all leagues, even for his steep price tag.

Adam DuvallDuvall is a power hitter, who displayed his power in the first game in Coors with a double dong day. He gets a tough matchup against Gray, but Duvall's power will be on full display in this series. He's a great option if you're in need of upside.

Robbie GrossmanWhat does Grossman need to do to get a price bump? He has been on fire since joining the Twins, and he gets another good matchup tonight. He's a great option until he gets a huge price bump.
