MLB Fantasy Daily (DFS) Picks For DraftKings – 5/16/16

zz draft kings

Hunter Stokes (Chief Writer/Part Owner) 

I am loving the Jays rallying around the Jose Bautista incident on Sunday to absolutely crush Drew Smyly in Tampa Monday Night.  I will use a 4 hitter stack of RHB including Edwin Encarnacion. Jose Bautista, Troy Tulowitzki and Josh Donaldson (who is 7 – 14 – with 3 HRS career vs the Rays Southpaw).

By the way here, the Jays are awesome (GVP’s – Great Value Plays) with EE, Joey Bats and TULO at $3700 each, while the reigning AL MVP is listed low at $4300.  I suppose a lot of the pricing has to do with possible suspensions, however I fully expect these guys to appeal, which would grant them a stay of execution for tonight.

There is a misconception that Smyly is an elite pitcher.  He often yields one homer per start.  In his 29 career Innings worth of work versus Toronto, he has given up 6 HRs.  I am calling for 2 HRs versus Smyly int his contest from these four gentlemen.

I also will use J.A. Happ to slow down the Rays lineup.

Jon Niese is to be used in the 2nd pitcher slot – because quite frankly, the Braves are 9 – 27, on the year, so Poppa Smurf has a chance to victimize the lineup.

By using the Pirates starter tonight, it affords me to use Giancarlo Stanton, Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia.  I like the Boston 1 and 2 hitters because they have been swiping bags in addition to helping the Red Sox lineup.

The Blue Jays and Rangers rekindled a tense and sometimes ugly rivalry.

Baseball should take notice. They NEED rivalries like this.

It is a “Bad for Sportsmanship but Good for Business” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Danny Valencia, Hector Santiago, Chris Carter, Gerrit Cole, Felix Hernandez, Brandon Guyer, Maikel Franco and Jon Lester all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball yesterday.
