Daily Fantasy Baseball Playbook: Best FanDuel, DraftKings picks and advice for May 18 – Sporting News

Looking for daily fantasy baseball picks, strategy and advice? This is the DFS MLB Playbook for Wednesday, featuring all the MLB DFS info you need to know from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com.

First, I did not run the numbers for today’s early slate. Thus, the Playbook, Rankings and Optimal Lineups — all available to our Playbook Pro members — will NOT feature players from the early games. All of the big-money contests and qualifiers acoss the industry are for the evening slate, so that is where my attention is. For those playing the early games, the two pitchers I like are Steven Wright (at Royals) and Rich Hill (vs. Rangers). I would also take mini-stacks made up of the A’s righties, the top of Boston’s lineup, any of the first six Tigers, and something around Giancarlo Stanton. Those are my loosely made suggestions for the early games, but only play those at your own risk.

The good news about the night slate is that we get an extra game thanks to the Red Sox-Royals doubleheader, and there are no obvious weather concerns. Obviously, you still should check back to our lineups page and make sure there are no pop up storms in or around any of the games that you are building lineups around tonight. 

Let’s take a look at today’s best daily fantasy baseball picks below. Playbook PRO members get even more DFS strategy, rankings, and advice every day.
