Starting Pitcher Picks of the Night
| Pitcher | Pos. | DraftKings | DraftStreet | FanDuel | Reasons |
| Jered Weaver | P | $10,400 | $19,719 | $7,600 | Has not allowed more than 2 runs in each of his last seven starts, has 2nd best ERA in AL this month at 1.48 with a 0.73 WHIP |
| Tim Hudson | P | $8,700 | $14,976 | $7,000 | slight health risk here but he says he's fine and he has the 6th best K/BB rate in baseball against a free swinging Cubs team |
| Collin McHugh | P | $8,000 | $14,610 | $4,400 | Royals near the bottom in run production among AL teams and McHugh has strikeout upside as he has K'd 14 over last 2 starts (12.1 IP) |
Discounted Hitter of the Night: Mets Lucas Duda
| Hitter | Pos. | DraftKings | DraftStreet | FanDuel | Reasons |
| A.J. Pierzynski | C | $3,600 | $5,114 | $3,100 | 6 gm hit streak going .370 (10-24) w/ 2nd best OPS among catchers over last 7 days. |
| Tuffy Gosewisch | C | $2,500 | $5,901 | $2,500 | If in LU get R vs L Stults in hitter friendly Chase and when ever Gosewich has been in the LU he has been a tuff out. If he's out consider Phils Carlos Ruiz who is a few bucks cheaper than Pierzynski if price is an issue |
| Matt Adams | 1B | $4,000 | $6,211 | $2,800 | Lvs R matchup vs NYY Phelps, Adams 4th highest OPS among 1B last 7 days while hitting .400 (10-25) over that span |
| Lucas Duda | 1B | $3,500 | $5,846 | $2,400 | went 2-4 w/ HR Mon., all 6 HR have come off RHP, 5 of 6 at home, and PIT RHP Volquez has allowed 9 HR over last 5 starts |
| Derek Dietrich | 2B | $3,600 | $6,933 | $2,900 | tasty LvsR matchup vs Nats RHP Treinen and who doesn't like Double-D's aimee I right? |
| Daniel Murphy | 2B | $4,500 | $7,120 | $3,100 | Hitting .314 (32-102) with 3 HR and 3 SB month of May (Chase Utley production but you save about $500) |
| Mark Reynolds | 3B | $4,300 | $6,317 | $3,000 | 9 of 11 HR have come off of LHP this season and he is 1-4 with a HR vs O's LHP Chen |
| Pablo Sandoval | 3B | $4,300 | $6,575 | $3,400 | Kung-Fu Panda kicking butt this month: 6 gm hit streak going, 3 HR last 4 gms, 5 HR last 8 gms, and hitting over .300 for May |
| Everth Cabrera | SS | $3,800 | $4,774 | $2,400 | IK, IK I always recommend him, but coming off big game (2-4, HR, 2B, 4 RBI, R, and SB) and is 8-17 (.471) w/ HR, 3B vs Miley over his career and price is nice |
| Jimmy Rollins | SS | $4,700 | $6,847 | $3,600 | Projected for highest point total among today's active SS (see our daily projections page) |
| Marcell Ozuna | OF | $4,100 | $6,565 | $2,900 | Swinging a hot stick and the RHH is hitting 22 points higher vs RHP then left w/ 6 of his 9 HR coming off righties |
| Curtis Granderson | OF | $3,800 | $6,555 | $3,400 | faces RHP Edinson Volquez wh, as I mentioned above, loves serving up the long ball lately |
| Khris Davis | OF | $3,600 | $5,332 | $2,900 | hitting .391 (9-23) w/ 2 HR and 4 2B over last 6 gms and RvsL matchup vs BAL Chen |
| George Springer | OF | $4,300 | $7,621 | $3,600 | price went up but still reasonable considering 4 straight games w/ at least 1 HR and gets to face Jeremy Guthrie who is tied with David Price for most HR allowed among AL SP |
Well hopefully the players above have you doing this at the end of the night:
