DraftKings Early MLB Picks For May 30

First of all, let’s take the time to thank all of our veterans for their service to their country, and take a moment of silence for all of those no longer with us on this Memorial Day.

There are ten afternoon games on this holiday Monday, which makes this the larger tournament of the day. There are a lot of stats to go through, and a few good options. Let’s find out what the past stats say!

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.

Junior Guerra has never faced the Cardinals, and poses a pretty big risk with nothing to back up using him. Rookie Edwin Escobar is making his first start against Houston today. It will be tempting you use him, but you are really playing with fire if you do.

Surprisingly, Kendall Graveman has never faced the Minnesota Twins. They beat up Felix Hernandez on Friday and swept the Mariners in Seattle. Do you trust Graveman and his 5.36 ERA?
