FanDuel: $3,200 DraftKings: $4,500

First Base
Anthony Rizzo vs. Ivan Nova
FanDuel: $3,200 DraftKings: $4,300
Rizzo has a .270 ISO and a .398 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season. And now he faces a below league average pitcher in Ivan Nova. Rizzo will be a key piece to your DFS and Cubs lineup on Sunday.

Shortstop

Andrelton Simmons
FanDuel: $2,800
Gordon Beckham

Outfield
JD Martinez vs. TBD
FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $4,700
Like the rest of the Red Sox, Martinez has been hitting really well of late. He has a .444 batting average and a .464 on-base percentage over the last seven days. No reason to not consider him for DFS purposes today.
Mookie Betts vs. TBD
FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings: $4,900
Mookie Betts has a .364 batting average and a .500 on-base percentage over the last seven days. He should stay hot on Sunday and be one of the top DFS scoring options on Sunday.

FanDuel: $3,900 Draftkings: $4,300
Schwarber has a .243 ISO against right-handed pitching in 2019.

Top Stacks
Toronto Blue Jays:
The Baltimore Orioles are giving the start to Asher Wojciechowski. The journeyman 30-year-old pitcher has a career 4.87 xFIP and a 6.64 ERA. In his career, he has really struggled with left-handed batters. He has allowed a .421 wOBA and 1.93 HR/9 to lefties. Toronto’s lefty bats own a .202 ISO against right-handed pitching in 2019. Stack up with the lefty bats.
Chicago Cubs:
The White Sox’s Ivan Nova is bad. He is bad because he has a .5.06 SIERA and has a low 8.3% swinging strike rate. Meaning he is not missing many bats and is a perfect spot for us to pick on while we build DFS lineups. You can attack Nova from either side of the plate as he is allowing a .386 wOBA to lefties and a .369 wOBA to righties. In addition, Nova is even worse at home this season. He is allowing a .340/.386/.611 slash line at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Washington Nationals:
The Royals’ Jakob Junis should be no match for the Nationals. This is such a bad match-up for Junis because he is not missing any bats this season with a low 10% swinging strike rate. Because the Nationals should put plenty of balls in play with success on Sunday, Washington is a very suitable stack for DFS purposes.
Boston Red Sox:
The Red Sox are hot. Over their last seven games, the Boston offense has a .258 ISO and a .402 wOBA. With Detroit’s pitching a mess, there is no reason to believe that the Red Sox slow down today. Count on Boston to make it a good DFS day.
