MLB DW Slate Preview - May 6
My rundown of today's MLB slate, including full projections and analysis for each game
I’m 0/1 in winning a ton of money in DFS this week. That’s very sad. It is ridiculous and unfair when I do not get exactly what I want from the world.
I’m not going game-by-game today, I don’t have the time on this big Tuesday slate. But I will give you my favorite spots from the main slate on DraftKings. Stu will be on later with some prop bets of his own, but I figured I’d give you the top recommended boys right off the top here.

Jackson Jobe Over 4.5 Strikeouts +130
Jobe doesn’t look like a strikeout pitcher so far. But the raw stuff seems to be there to give him some hope. Maybe there are just some tweaks needed to make his stuff a bit harder to hit. But that’s not the point for this matchup. The Rockies projected lineup has these strikeout rates in it (vs. RHP):
Toglia 36.5%
Beck 33.7%
McMahon 28.8%
Doyle 26.9%
Moniak 25.7%
Goodman 25.7%
Trejo 23.0%
Farmer 21.6%
Martini 20.0%
Every single player above 20%, and two-thirds of the lineup above 25.5%. There’s no better spot for strikeouts than a right-handed pitcher against the Rockies. And they’re not much better at making contact at home, like you might think (27.3% K% at home, 28.4% on the road). It’s a great spot for Jobe to set a new career high in strikeouts (he would only need six to do that).
