MLB Daily Fantasy Primer: Saturday (5/22)

Saturday’s main slate features six games. I’m suggesting mixing and matching three different pitchers and touting a couple of high-upside stacks. Today’s core studs are all from one of my favorite stacks, and they’re joined by a trio of value plays/punts with tiny salaries.

Saturday’s Starting Pitcher Strategy

Walker Buehler is the highest-upside pitcher and the most talented of the options on tonight’s slate. However, I’m inclined to double-dip in the middle tier with Adbert Alzolay and Chris Bassitt in cash games on DraftKings. Buehler’s case for usage in cash games is stronger on FanDuel than DraftKings. Still, Alzolay’s modest salary has me slightly leaning in his direction so that I can jam as many stud hitters in as possible.
