MLB DraftKings Lineup Advice 5/24/15 by RotoTrick
Top Pitching Options
Sony Gray (DK – $9700) – Gray has been the clear ace for the A’s this year, with his 1.92 ERA (3.47 SIERA) and 23.8% strikeout rate. He faces a Rays team that has a 0.300 wOBA and 20.9% strikeout rate vs. RHP, both good for 20th in the MLB. And pitching in the O.co Coliseum, which has the 4th lowest runs per game in baseball, as a -140 favorite, Gray is the top pitching play today.
Trevor Bauer (DK – $8500) – Without any high priced ace today, we don’t have to skimp as much for our second pitcher and Bauer offers another nice matchup. He’s the biggest favorite on the day at -200, and matches up against a Reds team that is also tied for 20th with a 0.300 wOBA vs. RHP and strikes out at a 20.6% rate. Bauer is another Indians hurler that strikes out a lot of batters, at 25% on the year. He’s sporting a 3.89 SIERA, and has reached 24 DraftKings points in all but 3 games, two of which were against two of the best offenses in baseball in the Blue Jays and Royals. Expect another solid outing from Bauer today.
Other Options – Francisco Liriano (DK – $8000), Anibal Sanchez (DK – $7200)
Top Hitting Options
Kris Bryant (DK – $5000) – His price has jumped up, but Kris Bryant against a below-average pitcher that stuggles against righties is worth the price. Bryant has a 0.389 wOBA and 0.176 ISO vs. RHP on the year, and has found his power stroke in the month of May with 5 HRs. The D-Backs throw out Jeremy Hellickson who gives up a 0.381 wOBA to RHH. Bryant is lock to produce some fantasy points in this matchup.
Adam Lind (DK – $4000) – First base is always a deep position, and you can make arguments for lots of guy, but Lind offers a reasonable price and a great matchup. Michael Foltynewicz takes the mound against the Brewers today and has really struggled against lefties this year to the tune of a 0.463 wOBA. Lind is Milwaukee’s best LHH and sports a 0.394 wOBA and 0.256 ISO vs. RHP.
