9/13 MLB DFS Winner: Adam Eaton
As Jason had him in our Premium Gold Cheatsheet as a value outfielder, Adam Eaton had a productive day at the plate against the Minnesota Twins. He ended up going 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI. Eaton also had an outfield assist during the game as well.
Outlook for the rest of the season: Eaton has been producing for the Washington Nationals during the stretch run, batting .304 in his last 30 games. He also has seven of his 14 home runs during that span. Expect Eaton to continue feasting off the opposing pitchers in the final few weeks of the season.
9/13 MLB DFS Winner: Freddy Galvis
Here is a Premium Gold screenshot of all the Top 25 players based on salary from the Reds-Mariners game last night. Freddy Galvis was the main component in the Reds lineup against the Seattle Mariners. He ended up going 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and a walk.
Outlook for the rest of the season: Do not expect Freddy Galvis to be a productive offensive shortstop compared to the rest of the league. With this game, he is 6-for-his-last-46 and has a miserable .200 OBP in that span. There will be better offensive players for value prices compared to Galvis down the stretch,
9/13 MLB DFS Winner: Yu Darvish
Here is a list of the top-15 pitchers on the slate based on salary from our Premium Gold Pitcher Projection Model. Yu Darvish was in the Top Five but still seemed like a value for how he pitched against the San Diego Padres. He ended up going six innings of two hit ball with two walks and 14 strikeouts. All but four outs were via the strikeout.
Outlook for the rest of the season: Yu Darvish seems to have figured something out since the All-Star break, going 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP. Darvish is getting stronger at a time where the Cubs are tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the second Wild Card spot. The team needs to win as much as possible and Darvish will provide great outings every time on the mound.
9/13 MLB DFS Winner: New York Mets Offense
The New York Mets had a good day at the plate as a team against the Arizona Diamondbacks, scoing 11 runs with 11 hits and added three walks. Juan Lagares went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and six RBI (all with two outs).
Outlook for the rest of the season: The Mets have just swept a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks and are two games back of the second N.L. Wild Card spot. The Mets are scoring 4.86 runs per game and 6.6 runs in their previous five games. With their subpar bullpen, the Mets need the offense to continue to put up solid numbers since no lead is necessarily safe.
