Monday’s MLB DFS Lineup Advice & Picks: Nathan Eovaldi, J.P. France, Josh Lowe (5/29)

The Memorial Day MLB DFS slate is small and starts early. It has six games at DraftKings and FanDuel. And gamers who wish to participate can’t doze off since it begins at 1:05 pm ET. So, before getting into the beer and brats, get your MLB DFS lineups in. Today’s picks are narrowed to fit the slate size.

Monday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
Today's top-ranked pitcher has been absurdly good lately. The second-ranked pitcher is the best SP2 in cash games at DK. He's also a desirable selection in all game types at FD. The third listed pitcher is the riskiest. However, he offsets his risk with the most affordable salary in a high-upside matchup.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Nathan Eovaldi (TEX) at DET
Eovaldi has pitched out of his mind lately. According to FanGraphs, he's had a 0.86 ERA in his previous five starts, totaling a workmanlike 41.2 innings. The righty's 3.34 xFIP hasn't matched his sub-1.00 ERA. Nevertheless, it was rock-solid.

Eovaldi should stay hot in an excellent matchup today. The Tigers are 26th in wRC+ (85) against righties this season. And the betting info is good. Per Betting Pros, the Rangers are -165, and the game's total is 8.5 runs.

Monday's Hitter Strategy
The Rays are the backbone of DFS lineups on today's six-game slate. They have appealing hitters throughout their entire lineup. Jung, Mervis and Donovan are stellar one-offs from other teams to help round out lineups.
