FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/3/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Mike Trout Continues To Punish Opposing Pitchers

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is hitting .458 (11-for-24) over his last seven games heading into Monday's action. The former MVP is off to an otherworldly start, slashing .413/.515/.775 through his first 80 at-bats with seven home runs, eight doubles, 16 walks, 16 runs batted in and 20 runs scored.

Andrew Heaney Continues To Disappoint

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney will try and rebound from a shaky first month of the season heading into May. It's the same story for Heaney (1-2); excellent talent but mediocre results. His K/9 rate (12.75) through his first 24 innings is fantastic. His HR/9 (1.50) rate, however, is troubling. Heaney has flashed some […]

Raisel Iglesias Hoping To Get Season On Track

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias will be looking to put a disappointing first month of the season behind him heading into the month of May. The talented reliever is 4-of-6 in save chances and a couple of rocky outings has him looking at a 6.00 ERA through his first 10 appearances. Iglesias has punched […]

Shohei Ohtani Questionable After HBP

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Otani will be questionable to pitch on Monday after being struck by a pitch at the plate on Sunday.
