DraftKings Late MLB Picks For July 24

There are only two games in the afternoon session today. We have to choose wisely to separate ourselves from the rest of the pack. Let’s take a look at the past stats to see if we can find a few players that may not be widely owned. Can you afford not to take one or both of the top pitching options?

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.

Mike Mayers will make his major league debut against the Dodgers tonight. We was pitching very well at AAA, but the Dodgers are marginally better than a AAA team. And his strikeout totals weren’t great at that level. Even in a short slate, there is likely too much risk involved.

Tyrell Jenkins has never faced the Rockies. He has allowed seven runs in three starts, which is not terrible, but it is still too much for me to trust him in Coors. Especially with all of those left handed bats.
