9/20 MLB DFS Winner: Masahiro Tanaka
Here is a Tuesday snippet from our Pitcher Projection Model, that is accessible to all Premium Gold members. Masahiro Tanaka had an incredible outing for the price tag. Going up against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium, Tanaka went seven innings while allowing a run on four hits and racked up six strikeouts while picking up his 11th victory of the year.
Outlook for the rest of the season: It seems as if Tanaka saves himself for the stretch run each and every season. While his season numbers are not eye-opening, he has pitched extremely well at Yankee Stadium in 2019, going 8-3 with a 3.10 ERA. Expect Tanaka to be featured in whatever the Yankees decide to do with their rotation and be a big factor in the playoffs.
9/20 MLB DFS Winner: D.J. LeMahieu
As Antonio D’Arcangelis stated above in the DFS Hitting Picks and Stacks, LeMahieu had a solid day at the plate against the Los Angeles Angels in a game where the Yankees clinched the A.L. East. He ended up 1-for-4 with a three-run home run on the day.
Outlook for the rest of the season: D.J. LeMahieu is playing better than most people expected in his first year outside of Coors Field. He is now at 25 home runs and 97 RBI predominantly as the leadoff hitter for the Yankees. Expect him to remain in the A.L. batting title race down to the final days of the season and eclipse the 100 RBI mark.
9/20 MLB DFS Winner: Mitch Garver
As Jason selected him as a value catcher / first baseman on the MLB Cheatsheet, which is available to all Premium Gold members, Mitch Garver had a solid day at the plate against the Kansas City Royals. Garver went 2-for-3 with a home run, RBI, three runs scored and a pair of walks from the leadoff spot.
Outlook for the rest of the season: Another player on a division leader who is predominantly a leadoff hitter appearing on today’s list. In a little under 300 at-bats this season , Garver is at 31 home runs on the season. He has incredible production, only matched by Gary Sanchez from the catcher position. Expect Garver to continue slugging as the season winds down.
9/20 MLB DFS Winner: Shed Long
Here is a screenshot from our Hitter Projection Model of players around the same value as Shed Long. He led off for the Seattle Mariners yesterday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in an interleague matchup and had a solid day at the plate. He went 3-for-5 with a walk, two RBI and the game-winning run.
Outlook for the rest of the season: Shed Long has a little over 100 at-bats in the Majors and does not look overmatched, which is great for him down the line. He has good speed and can hit for average while being able to play multiple positions on the field. Expect Long to work on the power side of his swing with the baseball being juiced and hitting into the gaps to utilize his speed.
