MLB DFS & Player Props Outlook for Friday, May 29
Friday’s MLB slate features several intriguing matchups across both DraftKings and FanDuel, with multiple games offering upside for DFS players and player prop enthusiasts alike.

As always, lineup confirmations, weather conditions, and late-breaking injury news will play a major role throughout the day. Several teams and players have already moved onto our radar heading into tonight’s action.
Top Games To Watch
Atlanta Braves vs Cincinnati Reds
The Braves enter Friday in a favorable offensive environment and once again project as one of the most dangerous lineups on the slate. Atlanta continues to feature power throughout the order, making them a team worth monitoring for both DFS contests and player props.
San Diego Padres vs Washington Nationals
San Diego remains one of the more attractive offenses on the board. The Padres feature multiple hitters capable of producing extra-base hits and run production, making this game a potential source of fantasy points throughout the night.
San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies
This game carries one of the higher projected totals on the slate and should draw plenty of interest from fantasy players looking for offense. Both teams offer hitters capable of delivering tournament-winning performances.
Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers
Two of baseball’s premier teams meet in what could be one of the most entertaining games of the evening. Star power is everywhere in this matchup, making it a game worth watching closely as lineups become official.
New York Yankees vs Athletics
The Yankees continue to bring one of baseball’s most dangerous lineups into favorable matchups. This game could provide both run-scoring opportunities and fantasy upside throughout the lineup.
Free Strikeout Prop Pick
Max Meyer Over 5.5 Strikeouts
Max Meyer enters Friday in strong recent form and has consistently shown the ability to generate swings and misses.
Our projections place him near six strikeouts for the matchup, making the 5.5 strikeout line one of the more intriguing opportunities currently available.
While no prop is guaranteed, Meyer is one of the pitchers our models highlighted during today’s review process and is our featured free strikeout prop for Friday’s slate.
