FanDuel MLB Lineup Advice: Thursday (5/30)

FanDuel MLB Lineup Advice: Thursday (5/30)

There are seven games scheduled this evening for the DFS main-slate. Unlike most Thursday evenings, we have enough games to break down for lineup advice. Similar to the last couple of nights, there is a nice selection of top-tier aces taking the mound. Deciding which ace to go with is a tough decision. In addition, there are a few pitchers and bullpens we need to target hitters with full stacks. Let’s break down this slate in more detail and discover some of the best options.

Pitchers

Hyun-Jin Ryu (LAD): $11,000 vs. NYM
One of the surprise stories of the 2019 season has been the strong performance of Hyun-Jin Ryu. Off to a 7-1 start with a 1.65 ERA and 0.83 WHIP, Ryu is the early National League leader for the Cy Young award. For DFS purposes, the Dodgers ace is a lock for cash games. Considering his high probability for a win, quality start, and strikeout upside, there are few pitchers starting tonight who can match the fantasy floor Ryu possesses. Sure, there is no guarantee that Ryu will be the highest-scoring pitcher on the slate, however, against the New York Mets, he is the safest option.

Tyler Skaggs (LAA): $8,000 @ SEA
There are not a lot of salary-saving pitcher options this evening and Tyler Skaggs is about as low as I am willing to go. He is having a solid season, owning a 23.3% K rate. He will get a positive park shift as the Angels travel to Seattle to take on the last-place Mariners. Although Seattle has a seemingly powerful lineup, they have failed to pull off important wins and have increased their strikeout percentage to 25.2%, which is the sixth highest in MLB. It is hard to feel overly confident about Skaggs in cash games, however, he is worth a stab in tournaments at low ownership and cost.
