DraftKings MLB featured picks and lineups for Monday May 7
SHORTSTOPS
Shortstop is the most underwhelming position on Monday’s slate. The high-end options don’t stick out on paper and, really, only one player does.
Trea Turner ($4,900) has not met Tyson Ross. The aforementioned Eduardo Escobar is also a possibility at shortstop, as is Alen Hanson.
Marcus Semien ($3,900) could be used in part of an A’s stack against Keuchel, meanwhile Carlos Correa ($5,000) is 0 for 3 against Brett Anderson.
TOP TIER
Jose Peraza ($4,300), vs. P.J. Colon
Peraza is scoring 10.6 DKFP per game over his last 10. He is hitting .356 with two doubles, his only two home runs this season and half of his 10 RBI this year.
Others: Trea Turner ($4,900), Eduardo Escobar ($4,500)
VALUE
Brandon Crawford ($3,100), vs. Zach Eflin
The left-handed hitting shortstop is 4 for 8 with two home runs and five RBI against Eflin. He also has four straight multi-hit games, in which he’s averaging 15.8 DKFP.
Others: Alen Hanson ($3,300), Ahmed Rosario ($2,900), Jose Iglesias ($2,600)
