MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces and Stacks (Sept. 15) Jared Levitt 1 week ago written by Jared Levitt Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll go through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Friday and I ain’t got &*(^ to do. That’s a lie, I have an article to write about a great 13-game slate of MLB DFS. At first glance, this is a great slate. We have solid pitchers in amazing spots and bats in even better spots. With 26 teams in action, we’ll have plenty of options on both the mound and at bat. Let’s dig in and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Justin Steele vs. Arizona Diamondbacks I said the other day when I recommended Joey Lucchesi against the Diamondbacks that they were an average-at-best team vs. lefties. Lucchesi went on to pitch a gem and got us nearly 20 DK points. Tonight, they’ll face a much tougher task in a pitcher like Justin Steele who is currently in the Cy Young conversation. Steele has been brilliant. Over the last month, he’s pitched to a 1.36 ERA and has a nearly 31% K rate. There ar... 1 week ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces and Stacks (Sept. 13) Jared Levitt 2 weeks ago written by Jared Levitt Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll go through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. Hump Day! It’s Wednesday and that brings us another split slate of MLB DFS. I’m going to be focused on tonight’s 7 game slate. Pitching on this slate is mostly atrocious. The one true ace on this slate is Blake Snell and he gets a dance with the Dodgers. This does however mean we should have plenty of spots for stacks tonight. Let’s dig in and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Blake Snell vs. Los Angeles Dodgers I touched on this in the opener, but the one true ace on this slate is Blake Snell and he gets a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. It’s a scary matchup but Blake Snell has been an absolute beast this season. His K rate has been down a bit of late, but it’s still over 30% over the last month. Is he safe tonight? Far, very far from it. But his price is down from where it’s been as he’s only $10.1k on DK ... 2 weeks ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

It’s Wednesday and that brings us a split slate of baseball. This article will be focused on the 7-game slate of MLB DFS that is starting at 12:10 EST. This slate brings us some exciting teams in the Reds, Orioles, and Rays and also brings us some bottom feeders in the Rockies, Royals and Detroit. There will be plenty of options on both the pitching front and stacking front. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Zac Gallen vs. Milwaukee Brewers The Milwaukee Brewers are solidifying a spot on the “Use Pitchers Against” list. They continuously strike out a ton and have one of the most inconsistent lineups in the game. Ryne Nelson, a much inferior starter to Gallen, was able to strikeout 6 Brewers over 5 innings of work. This sets up for Zac Gallen to have one of his vintage out... 3 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (May 19) Joel Bartilotta 4 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Friday and that means we have a massive slate of MLB DFS on our hands. Tonight we’ll have a 12-game slate to navigate through. At first glance, pitching is less than optimal. We have a bunch of average pitchers in ok matchups. Bats though will be plentiful as with a ton of ok pitchers comes a ton of bad pitchers as well. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Sandy Alcantara vs. San Francisco Giants Things have not gone according to plan for last year’s NL Cy Young Winner. Sandy Alcantara has had a very inconsistent start to the 2023 season. He’s had some brilliant outings but he’s also had some horrific outings. In his last start, he gave up 6 ER. That was the second time that it happened this year that he’s given up at least 6 ER. The saving grace though ... 4 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (May 12) Joel Bartilotta 5 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. On this beautiful Friday, the MLB has blessed us with a massive 13-game slate of MLB DFS. With it being such a large slate of games, it means we’ll have plenty of options both on the mound and at bat. We’ll also want to make sure to not get overwhelmed with the amount of players in the pool tonight. When slates get this big, it’s easy to start to get confused and make bad choices. Let’s not do that tonight. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Spencer Strider vs. Toronto Blue Jays The conundrum we’ll have tonight will be do we use the Strider vs. a very good Blue Jays lineup. There’s no denying that Strider has more upside in terms of strikeouts than anyone on the hill tonight. Over his last 29 innings of work, he’s amassed 49 K’s. You don’t need a calculator to know that is we... 5 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (May 1) Joel Bartilotta 5 months ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to Monday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. After a long few days of having to worry about weather and delays/ppd’s, the weather is beautiful for our 6-game slate of MLB DFS. At first glance, this slate is a tough one. There are no true aces and few pitchers that are actually in good spots. Let’s dig and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Drew Smyly vs. Washington Nationals This is how bad pitching is today as I’m recommending Drew Smyly first. Smyly has pitched pretty respectably this year as he’s sporting an ERA of 3.21 and really hasn’t had a single start since his first start where he’s been blown up. The biggest concern here will be strikeouts. The Nationals don’t really strike out much vs. lefties. The projected lineup today has just a 17% k rate vs. lefties. Smyly for his part isn’t a strikeout pitcher. He has... 5 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBDaily Fantasy SportsPremium MLB DFS Aces and Bases (Apr. 9) jason mezrahi 1 year ago written by jason mezrahi Today's edition of Aces and Bases focuses ONLY on FanDuel's five-game MLB DFS Main Slate for 7:05PM ET, hopefully finding you some green screens! The biggest weather threat is in Washington for Chris Bassitt's first start for his new team -- the New York Mets! But there's no enough rain in the area to fade him or any of the Mets' bats considering a delay would only be likely much later in the game. MLB DFS: The Aces Top MLB DFS Ace: Justin Verlander ($10,400) There isn't an SP play on the main slate without risk, and Verlander certainly has some of that coming off TJ surgery. But even with that as a factor, the veteran has the best chance to go deeper into this game than the other arms and has the best projection from a strikeouts/IP standpoint on FanDuel. There's enough of a gap between him and the rest of the arms to consider him the best play in both cash games and GPPs. I firmly believe that a lot of the concerns folks have about Verlander boil down to typical DFS smok... 1 year ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS: Aces and Bases for Tuesday – 10/12 Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Aces and Bases. Thanks to yesterday’s rainout we have a 3 game slate of MLB playoff baseball today. My goal today will be to walk you through where my mind is with pitching and then focus on some bats that are a must. Let’s dig in to today’s slate!MLB DFS: Pitching Pitching today is very different than yesterday. Yesterday we had the likes of Max Scherzer and Freddy Peralta while today has the likes of Tony Gonsolin and Eric Lauer. They are solid pitchers, but nothing like their counterparts from yesterday.My top pitcher today is Lance McCullers. McCullers tends to strike out batters from the right side at a little bit of a higher clip. In 2021 he struck out righties at a 28.4% clip vs. 26.2% for lefties. McCullers also throws his slider heavily to righties, more than 44% of the time. The core to the White Sox l... 2 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium MLB DFS: Aces and Bases for Friday – 10/08 Joel Bartilotta 2 years ago written by Joel Bartilotta Welcome to the Friday edition of Aces and Bases. Today we have our first 4 game slate of the 2021 MBL Division Series. All 8 playoff teams are in actionMy goal today will be to walk you through where my mind is with pitching and then focus on some bats that are a must. Let’s dig in to today’s slate!MLB DFS: The AcesMy pitching pool today will consist of 3 pitchers. Corbin Burnes ($10.4 FD/$9.1k DK), Walker Buehler ($9.9k FD/$8.5k DK), and Shane Baz ($7.8k FD/$6.3k DK). Let’s start with Burnes. I’m going to ignore his final start of the year because it was a meaningless 2 inning start. I want to focus on the three starts before that. He K’d 14 Indians, 11 Cubs, and then 9 Mets. That’s 34 K’s in just 21 innings. No one on this slate has the strike out upside as Burnes has. Burnes is going to face a predominantly right handed lineup today. He has a 37% K rate vs. them in 2021 and gave up just a .061 ISO. No pitcher is safe today, but Burnes is th... 2 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

Some other trouble spots to be aware of as well, but the Cubs-Cards is the worst of it.MLB DFS: The AcesTop MLB DFS Ace: Lucas Giolito ($9,900)Giolito has pretty balanced splits against both sides of the plate, which is a good thing when facing a Tigers lineup that's full of switch-hitters. While there are some rain concerns in this game, most of the heavy stuff probably stays south of the ballpark, and there's a good chance they just play through some lighter rain. It's one of the early games, so we'll have to check back on the radar before lock and hopefully get confirmation there's no late start or delay -- which could complicate things. But I love his upside on a slate where Corbin Burnes and Julio Urias both have tough matchups and could have an... 2 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
