Whether you are looking for the top pitchers or the best stacks, Dave Potts (aka CheeseIsGood) has you covered with an extensive deep dive into his MLB<\/span> DFS<\/span> picks today<\/strong>. Cheese, one of the preeminent baseball minds in all of fantasy sports and a winner of a $1,000,000 1st-place prize on both DraftKings and FanDuel, is here to give you his musings on the May 26, 2026 MLB<\/span> DFS<\/span><\/a> slate.<\/em>
\"ComboProRGMLB2026.1000x400\"<\/a>
Happy Tuesday! We\u2019ve got a 10-game slate that appears to have a small – but clear – top tier for both pitching and hitting. It also looks extremely muddled all over the place after those top tiers, but we\u2019ll see if we can find any favorites hiding in there somewhere. The MLB<\/span> weather<\/a> looks nice for a change, so we shouldn\u2019t have anything to worry about on that front. Let\u2019s jump right in and see what we find.
<\/bam-inline-promotion-block>
\"Schlittler
TOP<\/span> TIER<\/span> PITCHING<\/span><\/strong>
We start with four aces who all have SIERA<\/span>s between 2.73 and 3.23 this season, and all of them have clear upside in their skill sets.
All four of these pitchers have fantastic skill sets that can succeed in any matchup. They all have enough strikeout upside to hit ceiling games at any time, and it would take an outlier for any of them to get shelled. While I love them all, I think it\u2019s fairly easy to put Joe Ryan<\/a> down in 4th place. He is less of an elite ace against lefties, where he again has a 23% strikeout rate (23.4% strikeout rate last season) with power concerns, and he\u2019s likely to face 7 lefties tonight. He\u2019s certainly playable but is a step behind these other three.
I would say that Cam Schlittler<\/a> is the ace that I have the most confidence in, but he also has the toughest matchup of the aces, and he\u2019s the most expensive on both sites. Matchup doesn\u2019t really matter all that much for him, but it does dampen his ceiling a bit.
For me, Chase Burns<\/a> is my SP1, and Kyle Harrison<\/a> is my SP2, though you could flip that order if you wanted based on how good Harrison has been pitching. We’ve seen big ceiling performances from Harrison in 2 of his last 5 starts, with 12 strikeouts on April 26th (against the Pirates) and 11 strikeouts on May 20th (at the Cubs). However, he\u2019s also been quite inconsistent with those strikeouts, and Burns still has the higher SwStr% and the better pedigree. Basically, it\u2019s a little surprising to see Harrison at a 32.2% K rate, while Burns’ 28.2% K rate feels more like the floor. When I look at the matchups, while it\u2019s better to face the Cardinals with a lefty like Harrison, they are still better than the Mets. I think we\u2019re all better than the Mets. The Mets rank dead last in the league in ISO<\/span> and wOBA against RHP<\/span> and basically have one hitter of any real consequence. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have really lowered their strikeouts and have only 3 high-strikeout bats in their projected lineup. All of this is enough for me to go with Burns as my top pitcher on the slate.
But again, all four of these aces are great, and you can play any of them in any order. Ideally, I\u2019d start my lineups with a Burns\/Harrison combo on DK.
