Another fun Saturday is on tap for you DFS lovers. It's a full slate with plenty of pitching, including Madison Bumgarner, Noah Syndergaard, and the 2016 debut of Yu Darvish.
In this article, I’ll be providing you with the top starting pitcher streamers for daily fantasy baseball (DFS) and for seasonal leagues for 5/28/16. These streamers will range from high-priced / high-ownership options to low-priced / low-ownership options, and will be sleepers and value picks for your cash games and GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel, and also for seasonal leagues with daily lineups.
There'll be three main sections of this article: our Pitcher Matchups Tool’s top plays, my value plays, and pitchers to fade. I highly recommend you check out the Daily Pitcher Matchups Ratings tool - it's an extremely useful tool for daily fantasy or seasonal streaming for finding the diamonds in the rough. Anyways, let's get cracking!
Daily Pitcher Matchup Ratings Tool Top Plays
Kyle Hendricks (SP, CHC) vs Phillies
The Cubs are the biggest favorite (-240) on the board and the Phillies have a measly .666 OPS versus RHP, 26th in baseball.
Madison Bumgarner (SP, SFG) at Rockies
A date at Coors isn't ideal, but it should help lower ownership. Bumgarner is 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA in the month of May.
Max’s Value Plays of the Day
Wei-Yin Chen (SP, MIA) at Braves
Braves stink versus lefties; their .594 OPS versus LHP is 29th in baseball. Look for Chen to rebound from a poor outing in Tampa here.
Wade Miley (SP, SEA) vs Twins
If the Braves are bad versus lefties, the Twins are worse. Their .581 OPS and .209 AVG versus LHP are last in baseball.
Starting Pitchers to Fade in Daily Fantasy Baseball
Adam Wainwright (SP, STL) at Nationals
Waino survived his last start unscathed (6 IP, 3 ER) but he still hasn't gone seven innings this year. Too many solid plays today to gamble on Wainwright.
Yu Darvish (SP, TEX) vs Pirates
Darvish was dominant in his rehab outings but he's relegated to 90 pitches today. Don't get cute.
