Quick Pitch MLB DFS Podcast - Short Slate MLB DFS Strategy & Top Plays
Published: May 19, 2022
On today's MLB DFS podcast we have four games on today's MLB DFS main slate which makes roster construction a bit tougher when the player pools are so small. Make sure you check out the MLB weather center to make sure there will be no impact before setting those MLB lineups. Our MLB DFS player projections are set for today's slate and on these days I find using the fantasy baseball lineup generator to be a great tool to help build different types of roster construction.

Player News
Camilo Doval struck out the side Friday in a scoreless inning of relief against Atlanta on Friday.
Doval doesn’t get a win, save or even a hold since he worked in a tie ballgame, which is disappointing. Three strikeouts and a scoreless frame to lower the ole ERA is a nice consolation prize. Doval has been fantastic in 2025, and there’s no reason to think that he’s giving up this closing gig to anyone in the San Francisco bullpen anytime soon, if ever.
Mason Miller was able to pick up a save by working 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles on Friday.
You don’t see a ton of five-out saves anymore, but Miller was able to do just that for the series-opening win against the Orioles. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out three, and he issued just a walk while not allowing any hits. Miller’s stuff is electric and few closers are better when he’s at his best, and after his struggles for the majority of May, it appears he’s turned things around for the better.
Dean Kremer was charged for five runs in 5 1/3 innings while picking up a loss to the Athletics on Friday.
Kremer was coming off an excellent start against the White Sox on Saturday, but he was nowhere close to as effective in his follow-up start. He struck out just two while allowing eight hits; giving fantasy managers an idea of how little he fooled the A’s lineup during Friday’s affair. Kremer looked good for most of June, but this was a reminder of what can go wrong when you don’t have quality swing-and-miss stuff. He’s a volatile option at best against the Tigers on Thursday.
Tyler Fitzgerald scored the game-winning run to give the Giants a 5-4 extra-inning win over Atlanta on Friday.
Matt Olson hit a two-run homer in an extra-inning loss to the Giants on Friday.
Hayden Birdsong went 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts while allowing two runs in his start against Atlanta on Friday and not factoring into the decision.
