MLB Picks and Pivots – FanDuel Baseball Picks May 10
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Picks & Pivots, a daily fantasy column focused on providing analysis for the upcoming MLB FanDuel slate. The purpose of this column is to first identify key building blocks that can be used for any roster construction and then identify pivot points to help differentiate your lineup in hopes of a big pay day!
FanSided and FantasyCPR have you covered – For additional FanDuel MLB analysis, take a look at Matt Rogers FanDuel Economics column or Mike Marteny who provides Draft Kings MLB Picks analysis giving you the most in depth DFS coverage for tonight’s baseball slate.
Tuesday’s slate gets started at 7:05PM EST with 15 games to choose from on the main slate.
I will continue to track winning Tournament lineups and compare trends over 5 day periods to help us understand what it takes to remain profitable. I HIGHLY recommend each of you do this each morning to look back on the previous night and understand how the winning lineups are constructed in the games you participate in.
The view below tracks GPP entries over various time periods, breaking out key metrics to understand the trends and compositions of GPP winning rosters:
| Time Period | Score | Pitcher Salary | Pitcher Percentage | Hitter Percentage | Hitter $/Player | Value |
| Season | 245.3 | $ 8,458 | 24% | 76% | $ 3,318 | 7.01 |
| 5 Day | 249.3 | $ 9,967 | 28% | 72% | $ 3,129 | 7.12 |
| Prev Day | 280 | $ 5,200 | 15% | 85% | $ 3,725 | 8.00 |
Sunday’s high score was driven by a huge offensive day as the hitters on the winning lineup averaged an absurd 30 points per player. The winning lineup construction was built with a budget friendly starting pitcher in Matt Andriese who put up 39 points at only $5,200 which was good for 7.5x value and allowed the winning team to load up on high end hitters like David Ortiz, Yoenis Cespedes and Manny Machado.
I highly recommend gamers track their game performance across the various types of games they play – GPP’s, Cash, Multipliers etc – as this simple exercise will help teach you more about profitable roster construction than you can imagine.
Now on to the picks…
