We had a 14-game DFS slate on Friday June 29. All points and dollar amounts are based on DraftKings.
DFS Winners
Chance Sisco ($3,500)
Sisco had a career night at the plate against the Cleveland Indians yesterday. He went 3-for-5 with a double, home run, five RBI and three runs. It will be extremely difficult for Sisco to achieve that line again anytime soon, so avoid selecting Sisco when he is back on the DFS slate.
Sisco’s DFS Outlook
Chance Sisco had his best statistical game of the season with highs in hits, runs and RBI. Sisco is an average hitter at the plate but had a game where he looked incredible. Baltimore continues their series against Cleveland and expect Sisco to get some more playing time. However, there will be better DFS value at the catcher position than him, so look somewhere else.
John Means ($6,800)
We are Doubling down with the Orioles, as they had a great game against the Indians. Means only allowed three baserunners (walk, error and hit) in his five innings of work and recorded five strikeouts in the process. Means’ changeup is one of the better ones in the game and keeps hitter off balance. He isn’t a DFS-style pitcher that will provide a big point total, so fade him in his next outing
Means’ DFS Outlook
John Means is perfect in the role he is asked to fill. He isn’t expected to eat innings and produce a huge strikeout total. Instead, he just needs to navigate the opposing lineup twice and is done. With a plus changeup in his arsenal, Means is a good pitcher. His next scheduled DFS outing is Wednesday in Tampa against the Rays. Fade him in that start due to better options on the DFS slate.
DFS Losers
Mike Trout ($5,500)
Mike Trout went hitless in his four at-bats, including a strikeout last night against the Oakland Athletics. Trout doesn’t go into many slumps and should bounce back in tonight’s game.
Trout’s DFS Outlook
Trout floundered in Anaheim last night but has been hot at the plate in the past month. He is batting .312 with 10 HR, 27 RBI and a .449 OBP in the past 30 games including last night. It’s no question that he is the best baseball player on the planet right now and will be fine in tonight’s DFS matchup against Oakland.
Hyun-Jin Ryu ($8,900)
Ryu had a terrible outing against the Colorado Rockies last night. He ended with a line of four innings, seven runs and nine hits. He also gave up a walk and four strikeouts while picking up his second loss of the season. The Coors Field effect certainly played a factor as the Rockies have a .922 OPS at home. Don’t let this outing affect your opinion on Ryu as he will return to DFS form in his next outing.
Ryu’s DFS Outlook
This outing brought Ryu’s ERA to 1.83, three-tenths of a run better than the second-lowest ERA. His next scheduled start is Thursday at home against the San Diego Padres. One bad start shouldn’t scare players of Ryu’s DFS production in his next outing.
DFS Injury Updates
Marcell Ozuna of the St. Louis Cardinals exited the game in the third inning after diving back on a pickoff attempt and jamming his middle finger. The team announced the injury will force Ozuna on the 10-day IL.
Cole Hamels left yesterday’s start with a left oblique strain. While warming up in the second inning, he immediately walked off the mound and exited the game. He is scheduled to have a MRI later today.
After about six weeks, Corey Kluber has been cleared to resume baseball activities. He has been sidelined since May 1 after being struck by a line drive in the forearm.
