DraftKings MLB Picks For April 22

There is finally a full 15 game slate tonight, to that means a lot of stats to go through, and a lot of tough decisions to make. Who should you spend on? Let’s hit the stats!

NOTE: these picks are based solely on statistics. Some players have never faced their opponents, or have very little experience against them. I am not saying that none of those are good picks. The highest scorer of the day could be someone with no experience against his opponent. This is based on statistical analysis only. If you have a gut feeling, then by all means, follow that. This is not an exact science. The best lineups usually have a mix of proven stats and hot players.

The current A’s roster only has five appearances against Aaron Sanchez (1-5 if you are wondering). That is too small of a sample to get information from. Same with Patrick Corbin against the Pirates. They are 2-7 against him. Andrew McCutchen does have a walk and a two run single against him though. Is that worth paying his premium? That is for you to decide. Aaron Hill is the only Brewer that has faced Aaron Nola (he has two singles in three at bats, by the way). Steven Wright has only faced the current Astros eight times. Kyle Gibson has only faced the Nationals 12 times, but they have six hits off of him. That includes Stephen Drew‘s 0-5 line! Rookie Jon Moscot has never faced the Cubs. Youngster Zach Davies has never faced the Phillies. So there may be a full slate, but there are a quite a few players that have little or not stats against tonight’s opponents. They are not included here.
