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. 

It’s Monday and that means we have somewhat of a shortened slate.  Tonight we are blessed with a 7-game slate of MLB DFS.  We have a handful of top pitchers on this slate.  We also have a handful of pitchers that stacking against is a usual play.  It’s shaping up to be a small but solid slate. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

James Paxton vs. Minnesota Twins

Oft-injured James Paxton is finally healthy again and boy is he pitching well.  Over the last month, Paxton has just been phenomenal.  He’s pitched to an ERA of just over 3.4, but what’s most important is that he’s been racking up the strikeouts.  Over that same period, Paxton has a nearly 34% k rate.  There’s no one on this slate that has the K upside that he’s been showing. 

What helps is that he’ll be fa...

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 full-slate Friday and tonight we have a massive 14-game slate of MLB DFS to navigate through.  This slate brings us a lack of high-end pitching, but it does bring us some competent starters that are in good spots.  We also have a healthy amount of bats that are in solid spots so we should see some offense tonight. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Michael Kopech vs. Seattle Mariners

The former top prospect for the Chicago White Sox is finally living up to his potential..  Since May 12, Michael Kopech has 3 starts where he hasn’t allowed an ER.  That’s over the course of 6 starts.  Over those 6 starts, he’s also had no less than 5 strikeouts in any game, with 2 of the starts being in double digits.  From a DK standpoint, Kopech has reached into the upper 20’s in 3 of his last ...

Welcome to Wednesday'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 Wednesday and we have day baseball!  This article will be focused on the early 7-game slate of MLB DFS.  This slate has a ton of landmines at first glance.  Average pitchers pitching well and some really bad pitchers that we can stack against with subpar offenses. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Mitch Keller vs. San Francisco Giants

It’s tough to ignore what Mitch Keller has been doing.  Over the last month, Keller has a 2.45 ERA and most importantly a nearly 35% k rate.  He has 6 consecutive starts with striking out at least 8 hitters.  He’ll be facing a Giants team that has struck out more than 25% of the time against righties this season.  Between his K ability and the Giants' propensity to strike out vs. righties, there’s a world of upside today for him.

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. 

We at Win Daily Sports want to wish everyone a safe and happy memorial day weekend.  Today we have 2 separate slates, but this article will be focusing solely on the 6-game early slate of MLB DFS since that’s the larger slate.  For it being a smaller slate, this slate is packed with good pitching and good stacking.  There will be options on both ends of the aisle for us.

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Nate Eovaldi vs. Detroit Tigers

When the Rangers picked up Jacob deGrom this offseason, the notion was that he’d be the ace of the pitching staff.  With how much time he’s already missed due to injury, it’s actually been Nate Eovaldi who’s been the true ace of this staff. He’s followed up a brilliant outing with a brilliant outing this season.  Over the last month, Eovaldi has had a .86 ERA ...

Welcome to Wednesday'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 Wednesday and that means we have a split MLB DFS slate, with a 5-game early slate and an 8-game main slate.  This article will be solely focused on the main slate tonight. This slate brings us not much in the way of pitching as we have just a few middle-tier pitchers throwing tonight and then just a bunch of bad arms.  What it does bring us is plenty of options for stacks. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Kodai  Senga vs. Chicago Cubs

Kodai Senga is coming off by far his best outing in the big leagues.  In his last outing vs. the Rays, he was masterful, throwing 6 innings of 1 run ball and striking out a career-high 12 batters.  He’ll look to build on that outing tonight vs. the Cubs.  The Cubs are no walk in the park, as evidenced by their drubbing of Tylor Megill last n...

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Aces and Bases.  Today we have a nice sized 12 game slate of MLB DFS on Fanduel to navigate through. My goal today will be to walk you through my 3 favorite pitchers and 3 favorite stacks on the day. Let’s dig in to today’s slates!MLB DFS: The AcesBlake Snell ($10.1k) vs. Los Angeles Angels – Blake Snell is on a heater right now and I want to join the ride.  Over the last month Snell has an insane 41% K rate.  He’s reached 9 K’s or more in 3 of his last 4 outings.  With a match up against a struggling Angels lineup I just don’t see how the momentum gets stopped.  Over the last week the Angels have struck out almost 28% of the time.  Snell’s main strike out pitch is his slider.  Outside of Fletcher and Adell this is a pitch that the Angels struggle with as the majority of the lineup tonight have whiff rates over 28%.  The strike outs are going to be there for Snell tonight.  It’s just going to be a matter of how long the Padres let him stay out the...

Welcome to the Thursday edition of Aces and Bases.  Today we have an 8 game main slate of MLB DFS to navigate through on Fanduel. My write up today will consist only of tonight’s main slate and is tailored to GPP’s.  We have what’s shaping up to be a pitcher’s duel out west in San Diego and some really nice hitting targets. With that being said, let’s dig in to today’s slates!MLB DFS: The AcesLance Lynn ($11k) vs. Detroit Tigers – The Tigers have been playing much better ball of late.  It’s still not an overly imposing offense and when I have a pitcher like Lynn on the mound I’m going to attack them.  The projected lineup that Lynn is expected to face off against tonight has a 25% K rate and just a .120 ISO.  Lynn has a very good chance of overpowering this lineup and that’s exactly what I think he’s going to do.  He’s pricier than he’s been for a while but this matchup presents an upside opportunity for him. Yu Darvish ($11.5k) vs. New York Mets – My...

Welcome to the first Sunday of the 2021 baseball season. For those celebrating Easter, Happy Easter! For those celebrating Passover, we made it!

The focus today will be on Fanduel’s main slate which cuts off right before the Dodgers/Rockies game. So yes, we have a non Coors main slate to look forward to.

Today’s slate is void of aces. In looking at pitching, there’s no definitive path to success. There are a couple of pitchers that are ‘pretty good’, but not entirely safe. Then there are pitchers that are going to be high risk/high reward. I’m going high risk/high reward today. I’m feeling frisky!

Let’s dig in to today’s slate!

MLB DFS: The ‘Aces’

The first pitcher I’m looking at today comes with some risk. Ian Anderson ($9k) faces off against a tough Phillies lineup. Anderson pitched to a 1.95 ERA last year which was a run and a half better than his xFIP. Although a 3.45 xFIP is good, you can’t expect to Anderson to perform as well as he did last year. He did have a k/9 of 11.41, which of all the pitchers going today would rank numero uno. 3 factors have me leaning towards Anderson. a 52.5% GB rate, a 27.5% FB rate, and a 25.90% hard hit rate last year. Those numbers combined can help and did help him limit damage. Not the safest play, but I am a fan.

The next pitcher I’m looking at is Michael Pineda ($7.3K). You know exactly what you’re getting with Pineda at this point in his career. Someone that’s going to limit damage, but not rack up a bunch of k’s. Pineda only threw 26 innings last year. In that short sample he kept hitters to a 23.2% hard hit rate and he did it by getting them to chase with a chase rate of 39%. He had a k rate 8.44/9 so there’s limited upside. But on a day where there just isn’t much in the way of pitching, sometimes you have to play it safe. This Brewers lineup is not the same lineup it was a couple of years ago. After Yelich, there just isn’t much.

The final pitcher I’m going to recommend is Tarik Skubal ($6k). Here’s my high risk/high reward play. Last season he pitched to a 10.41 k/9. He did this by throwing gas last year. This off-season he added some new pitches to his repertoire. He is a fly ball pitcher so be a little cautious. He had a 54% fb rate last year. With that being said though, the Indians lineup is watered down. You have Ramirez and then not much.

MLB DFS: The Bases

Of the 8 games in today’s main slate, 3 have an implied total greater than 5. One of those teams I’m going to eliminate from my thought process as I just don’t see the Red Sox being able to do that much damage. Their lineup just isn’t very good and we have seen what Means and Harvey did to them the last couple of days. This could very well bight me as Bruce Zimmermann was brutal last year. But until the Red Sox can prove they can hit, I’m staying clear.

The first team I’m looking to stack today are the Royals. Jordan Lyles was horrific last year. He pitched to a 5.92 xFIP and had a swinging strike rate of 6.7%. He doesn’t miss many bats. I’m going 1-3 here, maybe 1-5 depending on how the lineup shakes out today. Merrifield ($4k), Benintendi ($2.9k), and Santana ($3.3k). Do keep an eye on the lineup though as Benintendi did leave the game early yesterday.

The next spot is the good ole Bronx. The Blue Jays are giving TJ Zeuch a spot start today. Although he is predominantly a ground ball pitcher, he doesn’t miss many at bats. He’s got low k stuff. Not missing many at bats is normally a recipe for disaster against a tough lineup like the Yankees. Judge ($4k), Hicks ($3.2K), Stanton ($3.8K), and Torres ($3.8k) is where I’m leaning with this stack.

My final stack recommendation is the Cardinals. Jeff Hoffman was bad last year. He pitched to a 5.39 xFIP. He had a FB rate of almost 39%. And a hard hit rate of almost 43%. Feel confident in rolling with Arenado ($3.8k) and Goldschmidt ($4k). Both have career woba’s of over .368 against right handed pitching. Cardinals fans are going to have a great summer with these 2.

MLB DFS Sunday Funday Summary

Keep an eye on Wrigley. There’s currently no line on the game and that could be due to the winds. If it’s blowing out, load em up. If it’s blowing in, consider looking towards Zach Davies as one of your pitchers.

While I think every slate is fun, this slate has the makings of a super fun slate. This is a slate where offense will reign supreme.

Good luck and hope to see you at the top of the leaderboards!

If you’ve been reading Cash with the Flash Best Bets each day, you already know that readers of this daily column make money. Some say Cash with the Flash best bets prints money; with a Win Daily record of 27-11 and if you wagered 100 dollars on each pick, you’d be up about $1400 dollars or so.I wouldn’tcall it printing money, by its not too shabby either.Losing sucks and yesterday wasn’t a good day for Cash with the Flash Best Bets. Julia Goerges blew a couple of breakpoints in sets two and three, Alexander Zverev never really showed up in his match with Diego Schwartzman and the Notre Dame defense didn’t show up in the first half and failed to cover the 18.5 we had to lay.Cash with the Flash best bets failed yesterday and I’m not worried about this one teeny, tiny bit and neither should you.I’ve been publicly handicapping long before Cash with the Flash Best Bets and have a record of 680-538-80. Wagering $100 dollars on every pick I made would have profited anywhere from $10,000-13,5...

This Sunday September 1st slate is all about landing the right bats. Follow my stud and value plays and lock in the MLB DFS Picks of Destiny.

Check out our Data Driven Projections for FanDuel Hitters for Premium Gold Members.

Todays picks are listed in order of preference, not price.

David Jones won 100K on FanDuel! Read about it here!

Catcher: UPDATE: NOT STARTING Mitch Garver ($3,300 FD) has five hits and three home runs in his last two games. He is slashing .429/ 1.143 ISO over the last seven days. He takes on the Detroit Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull and his deceptive 4.18 ERA. As the season has progressed, Turnbull has gotten less reliable. In August he touts a 6.55 ERA. He has given up at least one (usually more) runs in every game he has pitched in since June 11th. In his last eight innings he has given up nine runs. Garver is in a fantastic MLB DFS spot to keep his elite run alive.

Catcher Value: Jason Castro, Robinson Chirinos

First Base: Yuli Gurriel ($3,700 FD) Here is a reasonably priced Astro for MLB DFS. Gurriel is hitting .247 ISO/.386 wOBA with 22 homers vs righties. He is En Fuego right now and on a nine game hit streak. He should be batting sixth behind five fantastic Astro bats. Gurriel should easily be able to reach double digit FanDuel points today with upside for over 20 if he can send one over the wall. Spoiler alert; he can.

First Base Pivot: UPDATE NOT STARTING: Mike Ford, Matt Olsen

Second Base: Whit Merrifield ($3,400 FD) is my favorite second baseman to exceed MLB DFS value today. He is underpriced and gets and fantastic matchup vs one of my favorite pitchers to target in Aaron Brooks (and the Baltimore Bullpen). Brooks has a 5.79 ERA and gets blown up almost every game he pitches in. Throw out his last start in Washington where he shutout the Nats. I watched that whole game and I blame the Nationals lack of enthusiasm more than Brooks suddenly “figuring it out”. Before last game, Brooks has only scoring over 31 fantasy points ONE TIME since April Fools Day (not joking). Royals are my favorite stack on the day and Whit is going to help lead the charge.

Second Base Pivot: Jose Altuve

Third Base: DJ LaMahieu ($4,200 FD) is on a hot streak with multiple hits in four of his last six games. He hits .286 ISO/.477 wOBA on the season vs lefties and gets to face Sean Manaea this afternoon in Yankee Stadium. Manaea is coming off the 60 day IL after shoulder surgery and I wouldn’t expect him to last six innings here. He has looked sharp in is rehab starts in Triple-A but facing this bomb hitting Yankees squad will be a much different task. LaMahieu should be batting lead off and has not put up a goose egg in his last eight starts. He feels safe with big MLB DFS upside today.

Third Base Pivot: Miguel Sano, Hunter Dozier, Matt Chapman

Shortstop: Alex Bregman ($4,200 FD) I really like the Astros today but the price of all the bats is making it difficult to stack them. He hits .259 ISO/.395 wOBA with 21 home runs. He is batting cleanup and no matter which pitcher Toronto chooses to follow Font (Gaviglio or Godley), Bregman is a solid play at shortstop. He is always contributing. Bregman has not put up a zero in the box score since August 2nd. That alone is impressive. He is safe.

Shortstop Pivots: Adalberto Mondesi, Trea Turner, Marcus Semien

Outfield: Aaron Judge ($4,400 FD) is possibly the hottest hitter in baseball right now. He has a home run in six of his last eight games. He is absolutely locked in. He faces Sean Manaea in his first start since his shoulder surgery. Manaea is not a terrible pitcher but Judge is an elite bat that should be able to take advantage of him, AND the Oakland A’s bullpen. Lock in Judge and figure the rest out.

Outfield: Max Kepler ($3,500 FD) is way to cheap on FanDuel. He should easily be priced over 4K today. He has 26 home runs on the season vs righties and hits .293 ISO/.359 wOBA. He has multiple hits in his last two games in Detroit and at minimum he is getting on base again. The Twins as a team have put up 30 runs combined in their last three games. Today they keep their foot on the gas and Kepler gets his.

Outfield: Jorge Soler ($3,500 FD) is hitting .303 ISO/.373 wOBA vs righties this season and has 33 homers. He goes against my fave pitcher to target in MLB DFS, Aaron Brooks. Easy choice, especially at that price.

Outfield Pivots: Houston Outfield (Springer, Alvarez, Brantley)

I primary used FanDuel when building optimal MLB DFS lineups.
