DraftKings Daily Picks: Fantasy baseball lineup – May 4
Thursday brings a fresh slate of MLB action and daily fantasy baseball contests via DraftKings. Here’s a breakdown of some of the best bets to click on the day.
Weather is really being a drag around the country right now. Already today, the Tigers/Indians game has been called off, while Cardinals/Brewers has been pushed back from the afternoon into the evening with hopes of avoiding a second straight cancellation. Likewise, the Reds/Pirates contest are also under threat due to the conditions around. As a result, recommendations for Cardinals, Brewers, Reds and Pirates will be slim to none, just as a safety precaution.
Here’s a look at the MLB matchups and pitching pairings for the day to come:
| Pirates | Reds | 12:35 PM | Nova (3-2) | Adleman (0-1) | ||
| D-backs | Nationals | 1:05 PM | Shipley (0-0) | Scherzer (3-2) | ||
| Athletics | Twins | 1:10 PM | Cotton (2-3) | Gibson (0-3) | ||
