MLB DFS Hitter Projections
The projections below are created from our custom MLB model for DraftKings and FanDuel. Projections will be updated for any injury/lineup change that breaks before lock as best as possible, lineups will be confirmed and updated as they are released.
Notes will be provided between updates as time allows. Bold text in the “Update Notes” line will be the most recent reporting, if the status line next to the time stamp is red and says “pending” the update to include the bold text news is in the works, while all of the non-bold news has been updated in the previous run; if it says “updated” in green, all of the news has been accounted for in the current projections. When in doubt or unavailable, we recommend @underdog_mlb for any breaking news.
Last updated: 3:39 pm ET – 5/27/24- updated
Update Notes: All lineups are now confirmed. The LAD@NYM game has been rained out. The Reds lineup has been corrected, Nick Martini is playing and Mike Ford is not. Austin Gomber was scratched, and Anthony Molina will now start for the Rockies. The DraftKings main slate begins at 1:05 ET and includes the BOS@BAL, TOR@CWS, and KC@MIN games in the 1 pm-2 pm window. These games exist as a separate three-game slate on FanDuel. The FanDuel main slate begins at 4:10 and includes the PHI@SF game at 5:05 and the MIA@SDP game at 6:40, neither are on the DraftKings main slate.
The projections table includes FanDuel and DraftKings hitter projections and a rating for each player in our custom HR model (Scale: 5-10 Average; 10-20 Good; 20-25 Very Good; 25+ Great). The “Status” column indicates whether a lineup is the projected (“P”) version or if it is the confirmed (“C”) game lineup for each team.
