9/25 DFS Winner: Yasiel Puig

Premium Gold members had access to the MLB Cheatsheet, as well as other parts of the website as you will see throughout this article and the Slack channel with access to all the DFS Pros. Jason chose Yasiel Puig as a value outfielder on last night’s slate against the divisional-rival Chicago White Sox on the road. Puig had a big night at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two runs and a walk against the White Sox pitching staff.

Outlook for the rest of the season: The Cleveland Indians are currently 0.5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for the second A.L. Wild Card spot. Yasiel Puig revitalized his season once he was traded to the Indians back at the deadline. In 46 games as an Indian, he has a slash line of .312/.391/.836 and has been a staple in the middle of their order, especially with Jose Ramirez just returning to the lineup. Expect Puig to make some contributions as the Indians battle and could potentially overtake the second Wild Card spot to play in the one-game playoff on the road.

9/25 DFS Winner: Mitch Keller

Here is a screenshot from our FanDuel Pitcher Projection Model. As you can see, Mitch Keller landed outside of the Top 20 probable starting pitchers on the slate yesterday. Keller was on the mound against the division-rival Chicago Cubs five innings of one run ball on seven hits with two walks and seven strikeouts. He picked up a no decision in the effort as well.

Outlook for the rest of the season: Keller has been hit hard in his limited season, posting a 7.13 ERA after this start on 48 innings of work. This was also his third consecutive game of seven strikeouts, proving there is good stuff on his pitches. If Pittsburgh keeps their starting rotation as currently constructed, Keller will pitch the final game of their season against another divisional-rival in Cincinnati. Expect Keller to continue to build on a short season and take this valuable experience to become a better pitcher in 2020.

9/25 Winner: Jordan Thompson

Our very own Phil Naessens wrote this in his Cash with the Flash article. If you wanted to make extra bankroll during the late stages of Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, you would have followed this bet. Jordan Thompson won this matchup in three sets against Vasek Pospisil. This means that he has officially advanced to the round of 16 to face Alexander Bublik tomorrow morning. It was not a dominant performance by any stretch but Thompson won and was the better player in the match.

9/25 DFS Winner: Boston Red Sox Offense

As shown on the MLB Cheatsheet, the Boston Red Sox were a team to stack up players onto your 9/25 DFS lineups. The Red Sox offense scored 12 runs on 14 hits and added four walks as a team against the Texas Rangers in Arlington. This included good games by J.D. Martinez, going 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored while Xander Bogaerts 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored.

Outlook for the rest of the season: The Boston Red Sox have been eliminated from advancing to the postseason. Their team could look a lot different by Opening Day with the potential of Mookie Betts being traded in the offseason. The offense has scored 876 runs this season, which is the fourth most in the majors. Boston’s hitting kept them alive for as long as it can, so with a better season out of their pitchers, expect a better run in 2020.
