Robbie Ray MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: More Than 7.0 Strikeouts
We’ve targeted this exact matchup over the last two days as the Braves face yet another Giants left-handed pitching. On Monday, we saw Blake Snell nearly throw another no-hitter while striking out 11.
Last night, Kyle Harrison labored a bit but still managed six strikeouts over five innings of work. In today’s MLB DFS Underdog Fantasy picks, we get Robbie Ray who is no longer on any pitch count limit after firing 105 pitches in his most recent outing while striking out seven over six innings of work.
On the season, Ray is boasting a 33.3% strikeout rate with a 12.39 K/9. The Braves continue to struggle against southpaws and over the last month they have the highest strikeout rate in baseball against southpaws at 34.2%.
- Pick: More Than 7.0 Strikeouts
Walker Buehler MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: More Than 2.5 Earned Runs
The Dodgers injury woes at the starting pitcher position have continued with River Ryan expected to miss the rest of the season. With Ryan now on the IL, the team has activated Walker Buehler from the injured list, and he will make the start for them on Wednesday against the Brewers. It has been a brutal season for Buehler as he comes back from Tommy John surgery as the Dodgers righty is just 1-4 with a 5.84 ERA and 1.51 WHIP.
He even struggled at the Triple-A level during his rehab, posting an ERA over 5.00 as well in eight starts. We are looking for the Brewers to score at least three runs off Buehler here with our MLB DFS Underdog Fantasy picks today, which is something he has allowed in six of his eight starts this season.

Player News
Daulton Varsho picked up three hits, three RBI and a homer in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
Varsho has only played in seven games this year, but they’ve been seven good ones. He’s homered three times already, and his slugging percentage is a remarkable — and entirely unsustainable — .727 over 22 at-bats. Varsho has been a mediocre offensive player in his two seasons with the Blue Jays, but it’s possible at the age of 28 he’s having a breakout campaign. Far from a guarantee, but possible.
Taylor Ward hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Blue Jays on Thursday.
Ward, 31, gave the Angels a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer off Chris Bassitt in the first inning. He’s now gone deep in two of his last three games, and it ‘improves’ his slash to .181/.224/.391. Ward has been one of the most hot/cold players players in the sport over the last few years, so fantasy managers who can afford to make some roster moves may want to look at Ward while the going is good.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. picked up three hits and scored twice in an 8-5 win over the Angels on Thursday.
Guerrero also drew a walk. It gives the first baseman multiple hits in back-to-back games, and it’s the third time in May that he’s reached that mark. That’s helped raise his average from .268 to .295, and the only thing fantasy managers can be disappointed with is his .432 slugging percentage. That number should continue to climb as the season unfolds, but Vladdy Jr. has had some inconsistent seasons when it comes to power production.
Chad Green picked up his first save of 2025 with a scoreless ninth against the Angels on Thursday.
Green got the save after Jeff Hoffman worked in back-to-back games — and struggled — in the first two contests against the Angels. He struck out two and looked the part while needing just nine pitches to get through the inning. Hoffman should remain the closer, but Green is on his tail if the struggles were to continue.
Chris Bassitt allowed five runs — four earned — while working six-plus innings against the Angels on Thursday while picking up a win.
Bassitt allowed three runs over the first two innings on a pair of homers, but settled down over his next four frames. He came out to work the seventh, but ended up being charged for two more runs after leaving the contest. The 36-year-old veteran has forged a 3.35 ERA and outstanding 49/8 K/BB ratio over the first quarter of the season, but this wasn’t him at his best. He’ll get the Rays next week if the rotation order stays the same for Toronto.
José Soriano allowed three runs over five innings while not factoring in the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays.
Soriano left with a 4-3 lead, but it was erased quickly after his departure. The 26-year-old was not exactly dominant in his outing with eight hits allowed and four free passes, but he did strike out six to help balance things out a smidgen. Soriano takes an even ERA of 4.00 into a scheduled start against the Padres in San Diego on Tuesday. There should be better options for that one.
