Happy Friday folks! We made it through another week. As has been the trend for me lately there are a number of stack worthy games and a combination of decent pitchers in mediocre/bad spots or mediocre/bad pitchers in good spots. However I do think I’ve found a few pitching targets in each price point to tailor to your respective builds. If you are new here welcome to the Win Daily family and enjoy my Fanduel Main Slate Breakdown for 9.4.
FanDuel Main Slate Breakdown for 9.4 Pitching:
Yu Darvish, Cubs, 11.4K:
If you can afford the price tag he is worth a long look tonight. I was talking about it at the beginning of the season on discord that he was going to be over 10K in no time and that it looked like he fixed his issues in the second half of last season and clearly that has carried over. He’s back to his Cy-Young form and he looks largely un-hittable right now. He’s put up more than 50 FD points in three of his last four including a 61 point outing against the Brewers and 58 versus the White Sox. I have no reason to think that the Cardinals are going to do anything to slow down his pace tonight. Park conditions for Yu are negative tonight so if you were to make an argument besides price you can in that regard but that’s about it.
Kyle Cody, Rangers, 5.7K:
Do not expect a monster performance here as it looks like best case scenario he gets four innings in his first start tonight but if you are loading up with premium bats Cody is not a terrible option. Seattle is far from being menacing offensively and Kyle currently has a 43 percent whiff rate on the season. Best case scenario today is around 25 points for him so have tempered expectations but he is capable and can provide you much needed salary to pay up elsewhere.
Corbin Burnes, Brewers, 7.6K:
I was trying to find a justification for several other guys tonight but I just kept going back to Burnes for my third choice. Everything is pointing towards him starting to figure it out and Cleveland, while in first in their division, still have games where the struggle tremendously offensively. They strike out at an almost 24 percent clip and Corbin has a K-rate of well over 30 percent. If he can keep his walks down he has an outside chance of being the top overall play tonight.
FanDuel Main Slate Breakdown for 9.4 Stacks and Bats:
White Sox:
We have reached a pretty good point where we can start relying on this season’s data a bit more confidently and with four games in the books against the Royals we know one thing. The White Sox are going to produce. They have scored no less than five runs in each game and now they have recent exposure to Royals pitcher Brady Singer who gave up three earned in five innings. I don’t think there is a ton of need to give this audience a bunch of stats on these guys. If you are a Win Daily subscriber you have been hearing us talk White Sox for the entire season.
Cash: Yoan Moncada, Jose Abreu, Luis Robert, Eloy Jimenez, Yasmani Grandal GPP: Tim Anderson, Edwin Encarnacion
Padres:
I’m all over the right handed bats for the Padres today. Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr, Will Myers, and Austin Nola all profile extremely well across the board and Luzardos splits against right handed bats do not work in his favor. His 41 percent hard hit rate and 29 percent line drive rate with the favorable park conditions tonight leads me to beleive that we’re going to have a decent amount of production from the Padres tonight.
All formats: Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr, Will Myers, Austin Nola
Giants:
I’m hoping the Giants will go largely unnoticed tonight. They’ve played the Diamondbacks five times, have scored between 4-6 runs and won each of the five contests. Additionally the adjustment to the park this season has turned Oracle park into a much friendlier hitters park with the added benefit of 10 mph wind blowing out to center field tonight. Brandon Belt,
Mike Yastrzemski, and Alex Dickerson match up particularly well with ISO’s over .270 and pitcher with a 40 percent fly ball rate and 38 percent hard hit rate over the last two seasons.
Cash:Brandon Belt, Mike Yastrzemski, Alex Dickerson GPP: Evan Longoria, Wilmer Flores
Others to consider: Always Dodgers, Mets, Phillies
