Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks: Starting pitcher rankings, advice for May 30

Our daily fantasy baseball picks continue with starting pitcher rankings, strategy, and advice for Monday's MLB slate.

With most of the aces cleared from the deck yesterday, the pitcher rankings aren't nearly as top-heavy Monday. Jeff Samardzija stands out at the clear-cut top option against the Braves, but that means he's also going to be very heavily owned.

On light-pitching days like this, it's OK to fade the top option or two because you're only betting against one or two guys, not several top-shelf aces like we had Sunday. Sure, Samardzija is going to be a must-have in cash games in case he dominates Atlanta, but he's not going to give you an edge in tournaments if he's highly owned, as expected. 

With that in mind, let's take a look at today's full starting pitcher rankings and picks. As usual, we'll also have hitter picks and the DFS Playbook from Fantasy Alarm to help you find the best values on FanDuel and DraftKings. Good luck!
