Welcome to the daily MLB updates and news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it!
Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock today.
By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the batting lineup changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below!
We get a break from Coors Field talk after a four game series with Reds seen 64 runs scored producing some monster fantasy games. We can now turn our attention to some other favorable situations to extract our fantasy points from.

This is what a wrote about Profar in the main article:
"He has been filling in for the the suspended Roughned Odor and has been providing excellent fantasy value in the leadoff spot. He should get one more start before heading back to the minors so take advantage while you can. He has picked up a hit in all six games coming into tonight including four multi hit efforts and seven runs scored. He makes a great play on his own or an affordable addition to a Rangers stack tonight against Taijuan Walker who has been awful in May with a 4.91 ERA while giving up nine home runs in six starts".
Be sure to check lineups prior to lock tonight and if he is back in the leadoff spot is a tremendous value on both sites. Early today the lineup tool had him placed in all 25 optimized lineups on both sites. Lock and load.
Opponent - CHW (Rodon) Park - @DET
FD - 12.49 DK - 9.48
The price is a bit high on DraftKings but at 3.6K on FanDuel the projection system and optimizer absolutely love Miggy today as he is showing up in 19 of the 25 optimized lineups. While isn't considered an elite option later in his career, he is still a very solid option hitting over .300 and producing fantasy numbers with a 147 wRC+ through two months. He makes a terrific cash game play at a discount from the top options to allow for a more balanced lineup approach if you are trying to fit Thor in your lineups tonight.
One other note: There are big differences between DraftKings and FanDuel pricing so the optimal lineups are looking quite different.
These are players that show up in each of the top 10 lineups as produced by our lineup optimizer. This doesn't necessarily mean that they're "safe," it just means that their projected weighted-mean point total is a solid building block for a great lineup foundation today.
Good luck out there today! If you want access to all of our numbers, get started with a free trial below of our lineup optimizer, on us!

Anyone know what position Trea Turner for the Nats is on FD?
I don't think he's listed there
Maybin a better start hitting 2 over nomar?
Doug,
is there a problem with the lineup tool? It's not showing the projections for each player or the running total for all players at the bottom when I build my lineup.
It's been like this for almost a week. Thanks.
I have had no trouble with it
So it looks like cutch and polanco are both playing. I only have enough room for one or the other. Which do you all like more?
Hope Harper pays off took him over jd Martinez
Guys were a day early on the a rod call lol, jacked one today
