Filling in Your Friday MLB Lineups
Here are theScore's sample daily fantasy lineups for Friday, May 27:
Cash Game With One Pitcher
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Jacob deGrom (NYM) | vs. LAD |
| C | J.T. Realmuto (MIA) | at ATL |
| 1B | Logan Morrison (TB) | vs. NYY |
| 2B | Johnny Giavotella (LAA) | vs. HOU |
| 3B | Martin Prado (MIA) | at ATL |
| SS | Alcides Escobar (KC) | vs. CWS |
| OF | Carlos Gonzalez (COL) | vs. SF |
| OF | Melky Cabrera (CWS) | at KC |
| OF | Cameron Maybin (DET) | at OAK |
DeGrom will look to right the ship somewhat against a middle-of-the-pack Dodger offense. He provides ace-level upside at a slightly reduced price. Cabrera and Maybin have proven themselves to be strong cash game plays of late. Prado and Realmuto are both hitting over .300.
GPP With One Pitcher
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Julio Urias (LAD) | at NYM |
| C | Bobby Wilson (TEX) | vs. PIT |
| 1B | Justin Bour (MIA) | at ATL |
| 2B | Robinson Cano (SEA) | vs. MIN |
| 3B | Kyle Seager (SEA) | vs. MIN |
| SS | Elvis Andrus (TEX) | vs. PIT |
| OF | Nelson Cruz (SEA) | vs. MIN |
| OF | Nomar Mazara (TEX) | vs. PIT |
| OF | Cole Gillespie (MIA) | at ATL |
The top hitters in Seattle will cost you, but they have taken lefties deep a combined 12 times this season. The three Rangers have hit streaks of at least three games and Mazara has gone deep in three of his last four. Urias makes his debut against the Mets, who rank sixth in strikeouts.
Cash Game With Two Pitchers
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Felix Hernandez (SEA) | vs. MIN |
| P | Masahiro Tanaka (NYY) | at TB |
| C | Salvador Perez (KC) | vs. CWS |
| 1B | Adrian Gonzalez (LAD) | at NYM |
| 2B | Johnny Giavotella (LAA) | vs. HOU |
| 3B | Jung Ho Kang (PIT) | at TEX |
| SS | Jonathan Villar (MIL) | vs. CIN |
| OF | Cameron Maybin (DET) | at OAK |
| OF | Carlos Gonzalez (COL) | vs. SF |
| OF | Melky Cabrera (CWS) | at KC |
Pay up for pitching with limited ace potential on Friday's slate. The infield is comprised primarily of hitters fairing well as of late - specifically Perez, Giavotella, and Villar. Gonzalez provides great upside at home against San Francisco SP Matt Cain.
GPP With Two Pitchers
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Chris Archer (TB) | vs. NYY |
| P | Michael Fulmer (DET) | at OAK |
| C | Salvador Perez (KC) | vs. CWS |
| 1B | Jose Abreu (CWS) | at KC |
| 2B | DJ LeMahieu (COL) | vs. SF |
| 3B | Nolan Arenado (COL) | vs. SF |
| SS | Trevor Story (COL) | vs. SF |
| OF | Carlos Gonzalez (COL) | vs. SF |
| OF | Charlie Blackmon (COL) | vs. SF |
| OF | Melky Cabrera (CWS) | at KC |
A Colorado stack is doable without completely blowing your budget. After a poor start to 2016, Abreu has recorded three hits in two straight games, while teammate Cabrera is hitting .294 this season. In true tournament fashion, Archer has been extremely up-and-down this season.
