Chicago Cubs 2019 Season Recap

Touch ‘Em All: MLB DFS 5/26
The Rockies’ stack killed it last night, while all of the wrong Tigers had good games, and Jason Vargas threw his best game in two years. The game stack of Kansas City and the Yankees was solid yesterday, although lacking production from Adalberto Mondesi. Let’s jump into today’s DFS picks.

If you’re playing on a site like Fanduel, it might make more sense to just go ahead and spend up for a guy like Trevor Bauer. With that said, let’s take a look at some of the players to target for tonight’s games that could potentially bring home the bacon.
