MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, May 30

Who is your favorite hitter to spend up for in cash games?

squirrelpatrol: Aaron Judge
headChopper: Aaron Judge
Dean78904: Aaron Judge

Who is your favorite sneaky stack on the board and why?

squirrelpatrol: Tigers – Detroit gets a ballpark upgrade as the road team in Fenway Park, and the lineup generally sees minimal ownership because they’re the Tigers. Riley Greene has a .360 wOBA vs. RHP since the start of last season, and Colt Keith has been starting to hit, with a .373 wOBA over the past 30 days.

headChopper: Angels – Carlos Rodon is fine but is also prone to terrible games every once in a while, and this seems like a spot it could happen. The Angels put out a lineup versus LHP that is very solid. It typically features 6 guys with an ISO north of .185 vs. LHP since the start of last season.

Dean78904: Tigers – We have a good collection of pitchers and few games to work with, so just finding a couple of dingers can be the key to success. Nick Pivetta is a perfectly fine professional pitcher, but he gives up a fair bit of fly balls that turn into taters. Pivetta has yielded a slate-high 2.10 HR/9 on the season and 1.56 dating back to the start of 2023. I don’t make a lot of lineups, so I’m not certain to get to a full Tigers stack, but I’m happy to use players like Riley Greene and Matt Vierling to fulfill my HR-hunting strategy.
