MLB Fantasy Picks: Best Starts, Sits & Value Plays — 2026-05-27

Welcome back to your weekly DFS playbook at SportsPulse.com! Last week's action, highlighted by the Yankees' explosive 15-1 win over the Royals, showed us who's hot and who's not. Let's dig into the top plays for DraftKings and FanDuel to help you build winning lineups.

1. Juan Soto (New York Yankees, OF): The Yankees offense is absolutely scorching, and Soto is the undeniable catalyst. With an absurd OBP and consistent power, he's a daily threat for multiple hits, runs, and RBIs. He’s been averaging well over 10 fantasy points per game in his last five outings, making him a must-start in all formats, especially with the Yankees' momentum. 2. Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers, DH): Even without pitching, Ohtani's bat remains elite. He's consistently hitting for power and average, driving in runs from the heart of a stacked Dodgers lineup. Over his last seven games, Ohtani has three multi-hit games, including two home runs, showcasing his immense ceiling. Lock him in for high-floor production and game-breaking upside. 3. Corbin Burnes (Baltimore Orioles, SP): Burnes continues to cement his status as a fantasy ace. He boasts a dominant strikeout rate and a sparkling ERA, consistently delivering quality starts. This week he faces a lineup that struggles against elite pitching, setting him up for another high-strikeout, low-run outing. He’s a premier option for cash games and GPPs alike.
