DFS911.com has your Giants vs. Reds series daily fantasy MLB picks for May 14.
Series: Giants vs. Reds
Tim Lincecum may be just what the doctor ordered with Joey Votto’s mini-slump having gone 5-for-14 with a homer against him, though his $3700 price does leave a bad taste in our mouths.
Overall, Lincecum has not fared well vs. San Francisco, allowing 32 hits off of 101 bats to the current Reds lineup.
Lincecum has not permitted any runs in his last two starts encompassing a total of 14 innings.
The last time he faced the Reds in 2014, Lincecum allowed eight runs in just over 4 innings. He allowed 8 the previous year as well. See a trend?
Reds starting pitcher Joey Cueto has gone 7 or more innings in all but one game this season. That May 3 start he allowed 9 hits and 5 runs, the most runs of any game he has started this season.
Last year against San Francisco, Cueto pitched 8.1 innings and permitted just four hits and two runs over that time.
Angel Pagan – He has hit in 7 of his last 10 games and presents an excellent opportunity for daily fantasy sports players Thursday having gone 4-for-7 with a triple against Cueto.
Marlon Byrd is 3-for-8 with a triple against Lincecum.
Joey Votto – See above.
Todd Frazier is 2-for-5 vs. Lincecum with three RBIs.
