DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/26/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We've got four different slates on DraftKings tonight, with the earliest starting at 4pm eastern and the featured slate starting at 7pm. Any games played earlier than this will not be included.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/26/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @TroyKlauder.

 

DraftKings Starting Pitchers

Alex Wood, LAD (vs. SD) - $10,100

Wood is good to go after leaving his last start with cramps, and he's got a matchup that you don't want to miss out on today. The Padres have just a .297 wOBA versus lefties with a 25.7% K-rate. Wood has been outstanding this year, pitching to a 2.71 FIP, so he should have no issues with this lineup. 

Jose Quintana, CHC (vs. SF) - $8,100

Quintana is coming off of an awesome start against the Reds where he struck out seven batters with just one hit allowed in seven scoreless innings. Even in a down year, Quintana has still been racking up strikeouts, as he's got a 21.1% K-rate. He can continue his success against the Giants, who strike out 24.0% of the time against southpaws. Quintana is a cheaper pitcher to consider in GPP contests so you can load up on some expensive hitters.

 

DraftKings Infielders

C - Wilson Ramos, TB (vs. BAL) - $3,300

It's weird to see Ramos at such a low price, as he's having himself an awesome season. Ramos has a .346 wOBA, which is even more impressive for a catcher, the most shallow position in the league. Orioles starter Andrew Cashner has an awful 1.79 HR/9 and a 4.72 ERA, so Ramos should have a big day out of the Rays cleanup spot.

1B - Joey Gallo, TEX (vs. KC) - $4,200

Gallo is the perfect type of hitter to chase in GPP contests, as his ceiling is incredibly high because of his power potential. I love Gallo against Ian Kennedy, who is prone to home runs (1.54 HR/9) and has a 5.30 ERA. Texas is a great hitter's park, making it even more probable that Gallo will produce.

2B - Asdrubal Cabrera, NYM (@ MIL) - $4,100

Cabrera has been a machine for the Mets, posting a .315/.357/.525 line with seven homers, one of the best lines for any second baseman this year. Milwaukee is one of the best offensive environments in all of baseball, and Chase Anderson has a terrible 6.01 FIP this year.

3B - Mike Moustakas, KC (@ TEX) - $4,300

Rangers starter Bartolo Colon is finally beginning to regress to his 5.20 FIP, as he gave up six earned runs to the Yankees his last time out. This is a great opportunity for Moose, who already has 11 home runs and a 124 wRC+. He'll get the chance for both runs and RBIs out of the Royals three-hole.

SS - Tim Anderson, CWS (@ DET) - $3,500

Anderson has been punishing left-handed pitching this season, posting a .381 wOBA. He'll be leading off for the White Sox, so he will have lots of plate appearances and many turns to score some runs. Anderson can also score you some points on the basepaths, as he has 11 steals this year.

 

DraftKings Outfielders

David Dahl, COL (vs. CIN) - $4,300

I usually don't bother spending much time mentioning about Coors Field bats, as they are always expensive and highly-owned. However, I'm still fine with rocking Dahl at this price, as he could have a ton of production as the Rockies number two hitter. Dahl is a nice investment in cash games to take advantage of his high floor.

Nelson Cruz, SEA (vs. MIN) - $4,000

Cruz is a buy-low power flier to take on Saturday against Jake Odorizzi. Odorizzi has a 1.67 HR/9 and has lots of regression on the way according to his 5.41 Deserved Run Average. Nelly still has seven homers this year and can easily add to that total.
