DraftKings MLB Preview 6/7/17
My Rankings for best Draft kings plays at each position today! Note : Rankings made for cash games only
Pitchers
#1 Dallas Keuchel
Dallas Keuchel is in one of the best scenario's in baseball. He's facing off against the TERRIBLE Kansas City Royals. Mike Moustakas is out of the lineup today causing the Royals offense to be terrible. They are predicted for a slate low 3.6 runs in the game. Keuchel has been pitching fairly well lately and I fully expect to him destroy the Royals. I expect 30+ DK points with the potential for 40. I'll be locking him into my lineup.
#2 John Lackey
Lackey is a perfect combo with Greinke coming in at 7,400. He is in a similar position going against the marlins today. The cubs are the clear favorite in this game and Miami's projected runs are down at 4.1 tied for third lowest of the slate. Miami averages around 7.5 strikeouts per game making them a great target causing me to predict Lackey for 15+ points on the day. His price is too appealing today.
#3 Zack Greinke
Besides his game versus Milwaukee, Greinke has been solid lately and he's facing off against a terrible padres offense. The last time he played the padres he scored a nice 34 points. I expect him to dominate the padres today and gain the win bonus for 30+ DK points. The only downside to Greinke is his price at 12,400
Catchers
#1 Alex Avila
This guy has been a monster lately. He's put up at least 14 points in his last three games and has gotten 0 only once in his last 20 games. He should be up for a big game again tonight facing off against the Angels in a great matchup with Alex Meyer. There's basically no reason not to play him in cash. Oh yeah and he's batting second. I love this play at 3,700.
#2 Carlos Ruiz
If you want to punt at catcher or a low owned guy for a gpp I would recommend Carlos Ruiz. He's in a good matchup versus Adalberto Mejía and has some nice upside. His downside is that he bats eighth or ninth and doesn't have a game above 20 during the season. He still makes for a nice punt play if you wanna save some cash though at only 2,600
First Baseman
#1 Chris Davis
Chris Davis probably has the best potential on the slate tonight. He's going against the terrible Chad Kuhl and is coming off a solid game. He's a little expensive tonight but if you want to pay up for some great homerun upside I recommend Chris Davis at 4,600.
#2 Sam Travis
This is a guy who has only played three games this year and is looking great. If for some reason he's not in the red sox lineup I'll update this and replace him. He's going against CC Sebathia who hasn't looked terrible this year but also hasn't looked good. While he doesn't necessarily have homerun potential he definately has accumulate singles, doubles, and triples AND stolen bases. I LOVE his upside at only 2,700 and he makes as a great value play.
