DraftKings Early MLB Picks For May 25

There are 14 games tonight with the Rays and Marlins playing a matinee, so 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.

Surprisingly, Steven Matz has never faced the Nationals. Tyler Duffey has never faced the Royals, and was hit hard by the Blue Jays in his last outing. Use caution in both cases.
