The full board ranks every hitter by projected fantasy points, with DK salary and value so you can build the best daily fantasy baseball lineup.

Where can I find daily fantasy baseball projections?

Right here — MatchWiz projects DraftKings fantasy points for every MLB hitter on the Tuesday, May 26, 2026 slate, updated as lineups lock, with DK salary and value (points per $1k). Every projection is posted against the real result, so you can see how the model actually performs.

How is the fantasy points matchup score calculated?

It rolls every scoring category into one number: his rates against that hand for hits, extra bases, runs and RBI, weighted to recent form. Then the bullpen, his expected trips from the order, and the park. 0–100 across the slate.

How are fantasy points calculated?

DraftKings scoring, the same one the books price: single +3, double +5, triple +8, home run +10, RBI +2, run +2, walk +2, hit-by-pitch +2, stolen base +5. It rewards all-around production with a power tilt. Around 7 over a full game is a solid line; double-digits is a smash.

What does the score actually mean?

Higher is better. This is the board built for lineup-building rather than a single prop: it's asking who has the best conditions to score points today, then the optimizer decides who's affordable.

What's the confidence meter?

It's how much data is behind the call — sample size on both the hitter and the pitcher, plus whether the lineup's official. A high score with low confidence is a thinner read than the same score backed by a deep track record. It's not a probability of a fantasy point.

What is a platoon split (handedness split)?

DFS points bundle everything a hitter does, so the split shows up in the total rather than in one stat. Against the opposite hand he hits for more average and more slug, and the points follow both.

What are park factors?

Park factors move DFS points through every category at once — more hits, more extra bases, more runs and RBI in a live yard. Above 1.00 bumps the score, below 1.00 trims it.

What do "2W", "SZN" and "2Y" mean?

The timeframes behind each rate: the last two weeks (recent form), the current season, and a trailing two years (a stable baseline). Recent form counts most, and small samples get pulled toward league average so a hot week doesn't fool the model.

What do "≈ est", "Due" and "Not starting" mean?

"≈ est" is a hitter we don't have splits for yet — a rookie or unmatched ID — shown at a league-baseline estimate instead of dropped. "Due" means he hasn't recorded a fantasy point in a while and profiles for regression. "Not starting" means he was projected but didn't make the official lineup, so he slides to the bottom where you can still look him up.

Can I use this for fantasy points props or DFS?

That's what it's built for — pre-slate research. The board surfaces which hitters have the best conditions today, and where one exists, we show the book's "1+ fantasy point" line so you can shop the price. We're not a sportsbook and we don't post picks — we show the matchup data, the line, and the result. (Best-price and all-book odds are a Pro feature.)

How accurate is the model?

We grade every board against the box score. DFS points aggregate several outcomes, so the top of this board beats the slate more reliably than any single-stat board — which is why it's the one the optimizer builds from.

When do lineups update?

Projected lineups (marked "Proj") come from each team's last game. Official lineups usually drop about two hours before first pitch, and the board updates itself as they post. Batting order is a big driver, so it's worth a second look mid-afternoon — rankings shift as lineups lock.

Yes. The full board, every game page, and the daily archive are free, no login. Best-price odds and the betting tools are the paid tier.

Each hitter below carries a 0–100 matchup score — a read on the spot in front of him, not a ranking of how good he is, so a star in a brutal matchup can sit below an average hitter in a soft one. Confidence next to it is coverage: how much real data backs the number. Every call here was graded against the box score — wins and misses both, with the record on this page.

MLB DFS Projections — Best Daily Fantasy Baseball Plays — Tuesday, May 26, 2026

Konnor Griffin (PIT) is the top fantasy points matchup on the Tuesday, May 26, 2026 board at 100, with Kevin Alcántara (CHC) and Taylor Ward (BAL) right behind. These are daily fantasy baseball projections — every MLB hitter ranked by projected DraftKings fantasy points, with DK salary and value (points per $1k) to help you build the best DFS lineup. It's the read DFS players make before lock.

Top fantasy points spot: Konnor Griffin

Konnor Griffin (PIT) tops the board at 100, facing LHP Jordan Wicks. The righty is piling up fantasy points at — fantasy/PA against lefties this year, a solid bat worth about 1.63 fantasy points a trip. And Jordan Wicks has been thin against lefties lately. The bullpen behind him is roughly average to that side. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.7 trips, so the volume's there. He's just .000 in 3 career PA against Jordan Wicks, but that's a tiny sample and the matchup says regression. It all sets up in a neutral park, weather helping.

The rest of the top of the board

Kevin Alcántara (CHC) (100) vs RHP Mitch Keller: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side.
Taylor Ward (BAL) (96) vs RHP Griffin Jax: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side.
Blake Dunn (CIN) (96) vs LHP David Peterson: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side.
Henry Bolte (ATH) (96) vs RHP Emerson Hancock: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side.
Jarren Duran (BOS) (92) vs RHP Spencer Strider: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side.
Ronald Acuña Jr. (ATL) (92) vs LHP Ranger Suarez: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side, due to bounce back.
Jared Triolo (PIT) (91) vs LHP Jordan Wicks: a solid bat at 1.630 into an arm with little track record against the same side, due to bounce back.

Arms giving up fantasy points today

LHP Jordan Wicks has been giving up points to lefties — 1.600 fantasy points per batter faced. Bats to target: Konnor Griffin (PIT), Jared Triolo (PIT), and Jhostynxon Garcia (PIT).
RHP Mitch Keller has been giving up points to righties — 1.600 fantasy points per batter faced. Bats to target: Kevin Alcántara (CHC), Nico Hoerner (CHC), and Michael Busch (CHC).
RHP Griffin Jax has been giving up points to righties — 1.600 fantasy points per batter faced. Bats to target: Taylor Ward (BAL), Gunnar Henderson (BAL), and Pete Alonso (BAL).
LHP David Peterson has been giving up points to lefties — 1.600 fantasy points per batter faced. Bats to target: Blake Dunn (CIN), Elly De La Cruz (CIN), and Sal Stewart (CIN).

How it played out

9 of the top 10 fantasy points matchups landed at least one fantasy point. Top play Konnor Griffin finished with 9 fantasy points. We post the result next to every projection so you can grade the board yourself — and so the model gets re-tuned against what actually happened.

How to read these fantasy points matchups

Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's fantasy points per plate appearance against the hand he's facing — weighted toward the last two weeks, then the season, then a two-year baseline. Then it layers in the bullpen, his spot in the order, and park and weather. Higher means more of it points his way. It's context, not a lock — a great spot still goes 0-for-4 sometimes, and a tough one runs into one. The edge is in stacking the odds, and since we grade every board, you can see how often the top of the list delivers.

What the fantasy points board is

The Fantasy Points board projects a hitter's projected DraftKings fantasy points, with salary and value. One statistical model scores every matchup on the slate the same way — a star and a backup judged on the matchup in front of them, not their name — and every number is graded against the real box score once the games go final.

How the model gets its number

It isn't a gut call or a name game. The projection is built from a few things:

His hit, extra-base, run, RBI, walk and steal projections, run through the DK scoring formula.

Those pieces combine into one number, and the model re-tunes itself weekly against how its past calls actually landed.

Is there a betting edge here?

Built bottom-up from our tuned component boards, so it inherits all their tuning and stays internally consistent. This one's for DFS, not a book market — the value column (points per $1k) is the lever.

How to use it

Sort by value to find the cheap bats that project like expensive ones, then build with the optimizer.

Everything here is a research signal from the model, graded in public — not betting advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.

The full board ranks every hitter by projected fantasy points, with DK salary and value so you can build the best daily fantasy baseball lineup.
Where can I find daily fantasy baseball projections?: Right here — MatchWiz projects DraftKings fantasy points for every MLB hitter on the Tuesday, May 26, 2026 slate, updated as lineups lock, with DK salary and value (points per $1k). Every projection is posted against the real result, so you can see how the model actually performs.
How is the fantasy points matchup score calculated?: It rolls every scoring category into one number: his rates against that hand for hits, extra bases, runs and RBI, weighted to recent form. Then the bullpen, his expected trips from the order, and the park. 0–100 across the slate.
How are fantasy points calculated?: DraftKings scoring, the same one the books price: single +3, double +5, triple +8, home run +10, RBI +2, run +2, walk +2, hit-by-pitch +2, stolen base +5. It rewards all-around production with a power tilt. Around 7 over a full game is a solid line; double-digits is a smash.
What does the score actually mean?: Higher is better. This is the board built for lineup-building rather than a single prop: it's asking who has the best conditions to score points today, then the optimizer decides who's affordable.
What's the confidence meter?: It's how much data is behind the call — sample size on both the hitter and the pitcher, plus whether the lineup's official. A high score with low confidence is a thinner read than the same score backed by a deep track record. It's not a probability of a fantasy point.
What is a platoon split (handedness split)?: DFS points bundle everything a hitter does, so the split shows up in the total rather than in one stat. Against the opposite hand he hits for more average and more slug, and the points follow both.
What are park factors?: Park factors move DFS points through every category at once — more hits, more extra bases, more runs and RBI in a live yard. Above 1.00 bumps the score, below 1.00 trims it.
What do "2W", "SZN" and "2Y" mean?: The timeframes behind each rate: the last two weeks (recent form), the current season, and a trailing two years (a stable baseline). Recent form counts most, and small samples get pulled toward league average so a hot week doesn't fool the model.
What do "≈ est", "Due" and "Not starting" mean?: "≈ est" is a hitter we don't have splits for yet — a rookie or unmatched ID — shown at a league-baseline estimate instead of dropped. "Due" means he hasn't recorded a fantasy point in a while and profiles for regression. "Not starting" means he was projected but didn't make the official lineup, so he slides to the bottom where you can still look him up.
Can I use this for fantasy points props or DFS?: That's what it's built for — pre-slate research. The board surfaces which hitters have the best conditions today, and where one exists, we show the book's "1+ fantasy point" line so you can shop the price. We're not a sportsbook and we don't post picks — we show the matchup data, the line, and the result. (Best-price and all-book odds are a Pro feature.)
How accurate is the model?: We grade every board against the box score. DFS points aggregate several outcomes, so the top of this board beats the slate more reliably than any single-stat board — which is why it's the one the optimizer builds from.
When do lineups update?: Projected lineups (marked "Proj") come from each team's last game. Official lineups usually drop about two hours before first pitch, and the board updates itself as they post. Batting order is a big driver, so it's worth a second look mid-afternoon — rankings shift as lineups lock.
Is MatchWiz free?: Yes. The full board, every game page, and the daily archive are free, no login. Best-price odds and the betting tools are the paid tier.
