FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Helper: Wednesday 5/30/18

The Colorado Rockies are once again in a money spot tonight, showing a robust slate-high 6.10 implied team total at home against Derek Holland. We're going to want our Rockies exposure as usual, and we have a repeat of a remarkably similar pitching situation last Friday. You'll need to choose between paying up for Max Scherzer, or opting for viable alternatives like James Paxton or Ross Stripling. Other top offenses include the Angels, Nationals, Braves, Mariners, Twins, and Giants.

Our daily helper is available every day to analyze FanDuel's main slate and help give you a starting point when you're building lineups. Be sure to also incorporate our great tools into your research process. Whether you're looking for daily projections, the latest starting lineups and weather, or batting and pitching heat maps to find the best matchups -- we've got you covered! And don't forget to take a listen to The Solo Shot podcast with Jim Sannes, who breaks down the MLB daily fantasy slate each day.

On that note, let's highlight some of the top options for today's FanDuel main slate.

Pitchers to Target

High-Priced Pitchers

James Paxton ($9,800 on FanDuel): James Paxton's stellar season keeps rolling along, and he's now at an impressive 2.93 SIERA, 32.7% strikeout rate, and 7.3% walk rate. He's scored over 54 FanDuel points in four of his last five games, and has a good chance of keeping things going against the Texas Rangers, who have a slate-low 2.88 implied team total. The Rangers' most dangerous hitters hit from the left side -- like Joey Gallo and Nomar Mazara -- and as a team they've struck out 26.0% of the time against southpaws. Perhaps most important of all, Paxton will save you $2,000 off Max Scherzer, which could go a long way towards fitting in your Coors bats tonight. When factoring in price, he's arguably your top cash game play.
