Filling in Your Tuesday MLB Lineups
Here are theScore's sample daily fantasy lineups for Tuesday, May 24:
Cash Game With One Pitcher
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Jeff Samardzija (SF) | vs. SD |
| C | Bryan Holaday (TEX) | vs. LAA |
| 1B | Albert Pujols (LAA) | at TEX |
| 2B | Johnny Giavotella (LAA) | at TEX |
| 3B | Nick Castellanos (DET) | vs. PHI |
| SS | Josh Rutledge (BOS) | vs. COL |
| OF | Cameron Maybin (DET) | vs. PHI |
| OF | Yasiel Puig (LAD) | vs. CIN |
| OF | Nomar Mazara (TEX) | vs. LAA |
Cheap plays Holaday and Rutledge allow for the trio of Pujols, Castellanos and Giavotella to be rostered. Puig, the cheapest of the three outfielders, has hits in six of his last seven games as he works himself out of an early season slump. Maybin owns a .637 OBP with four steals in his first seven games.
GPP With One Pitcher
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Ervin Santana (MIN) | vs. KC |
| C | Stephen Vogt (OAK) | at SEA |
| 1B | John Jaso (PIT) | vs. ARI |
| 2B | Daniel Murphy (WAS) | vs. NYM |
| 3B | Anthony Rendon (WAS) | vs. NYM |
| SS | Danny Espinosa (WAS) | vs. NYM |
| OF | Starling Marte (PIT) | vs. ARI |
| OF | Andrew McCutchen (PIT) | vs. ARI |
| OF | Gregory Polanco (PIT) | vs. ARI |
The Pittsburgh outfield and Washington infield define this lineup. Both have great matchups against their respective opposing pitchers, Shelby Miller and Matt Harvey. Vogt went deep on Monday, giving him hits in five of his last six.
Cash Game With Two Pitchers
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | Jeff Samardzija (SF) | vs. SD |
| P | Julio Teheran (ATL) | vs. MIL |

| 2B | Johnny Giavotella (LAA) | at TEX |
| 3B | Nick Castellanos (DET) | vs. PHI |
| SS | Zack Cozart (CIN) | at LAD |
| OF | Carlos Beltran (NYY) | vs. TOR |
| OF | Chris Young (BOS) | vs. COL |
| OF | Leonys Martin (SEA) | vs. OAK |
Tehrean has gone at least seven innings in four of his past five starts, and Milwaukee owns a league-low .222 road batting average. Giavotella and Martin are hitting over .400 through their last 10 games. Samardzija has struck out eight batters and gone at least eight innings in three of his past four starts.
GPP With Two Pitchers
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| P | David Price (BOS) | vs. COL |
| P | Julio Teheran (ATL) | vs. MIL |
| C | Matt Wieters (BAL) | at HOU |
| 1B | David Ortiz (BOS) | vs. COL |
| 2B | Jonathan Schoop (BAL) | at HOU |
| 3B | Josh Rutledge (BOS) | vs. COL |
| SS | Manny Machado (BAL) | at HOU |
| OF | Mookie Betts (BOS) | vs. COL |
| OF | Jackie Bradley Jr. (BOS) | vs. COL |
| OF | Chris Young (BOS) | vs. COL |
With Travis Shaw unlikely to play Tuesday, Rutledge should draw into the lineup, with Bradley Jr. moving up to the sixth spot. Young is another cheap Red Sox that can be utilized against LHP Jorge De La Rosa. Wieters has gone deep in two of his past three, and Schoop has eight bombs on the year.
