Welcome to my first edition of MLB DFS Stealing Home: Sunday, June 6th, I will look to give you guys the best plays possible in a brief breakdown to lead you to hit some green on today’s slate. We have a nice ten-game main slate today so let’s get into it.
There are two main aces on our slate today with Corbin Burnes and Trevor Bauer, of the two I heavily lean toward Burnes as he is in a better matchup with the Diamondbacks. Burnes is also an elite K% arm with a 38.7% K rate this year which I expect to continue today. I am pulling out a full fade on Bauer today as I expect he gets hit hard and often against this Braves offense. The next target I am looking at for pitchers is going to have to be Sandy Alcantara who has a matchup with the Pirates. He isn’t a strikeout ace with this 23.7% rate but I expect him to be the safest option on this slate as I believe I can make a case for almost every offense here. Plug Burnes and Alcantara and look for bats with our $3,687 remaining salary per player.
I hate to sound like our very own 2LockSports but my favorite overall stack on the day is going to be the Tampa lefties against Dane Dunning. Dunning is a respectable pitcher to righties but it all falls apart when he is trying to throw against lefties where his GB% sinks to 41.9% and his hard-hit rate climbs to 45.2%. I am looking to target Kevin Kiermaier, Austin Meadows, and Joey Wendle against Dunning today.
Picking through for value today I am looking at Sandy Leon (2,400), Hunter Dozier (3,300), Albert Pujols (2,500). Those are my main targets today for value as I like all three in their matchups, Pujols is mainly power hunting for cheap against Fried.
A bonus stack that I like today if you’re into following theories is to fully send the braves against Bauer. This has minimal numbers that support it but we saw the same thing happen to Gerrit Cole. The MLB is cracking down on the use of foreign substances and I believe Bauer is next on the list for their main targets. I expect spin rates will be down today and the Braves to mash on Bauer. I would target them as a low-owned full stack on today’s slate.
Stealing Home: Summary
Thank you for reading my MLB DFS Stealing Home: Sunday, June 6th. I believe our pitching strategy is doable with the value bats we have on this slate with the Rays being my favorite main stack against Dunning, as well as the full Braves stack if your feeling risky.
