9/11 DFS Hitting Picks & Stacks: America Remembers

5 years ago

written by

To type the numbers 9/11 still causes waves of emotions 18 years after our nation endured one of the darkest days in its history.

I can still shut my eyes and remember how the day went for me in the Satellite Operations office of Fox Sports Net and how a long day of gut-wrenching emotions and visuals that still haunt me culminated in my sitting on the floor of my living room crying uncontrollably at 11:30 pm as the National Anthem was played in the backdrop of the names that were confirmed dead.

Obviously, choosing a winning DFS lineup is secondary to the importance of this date. At the same time, the heroism displayed on that warm Tuesday morning in New York City, Washington D.C. and over the skies of Pennsylvania is a strong reminder of how, as Americans, we persist.

Play Ball, and let’s chase the long green.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Catcher

Mitch Garver, MIN vs. WAS

DK ($5,700), FD ($3,200)

Garver capped his breakout season with his 30th home run of the season in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals. He now has four dingers in his last three games to go along with seven RBI. He’ll enter the day with a 30.5% HR/FB rate and even against Stephen Strasburg, I’d take Garver and his 46.2% hard contact rate. With a 47.7% fly ball rate and a start to September that has seen Garver’s OPS climb above 1.700, he’s a good 9/11 DFS Hitting Picks play behind the plate (although he’ll likely serve as the DH).

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — First Baseman

Matt Olson, OAK at HOU

DK ($4,500), FD ($3,600)

Like Garver, Olson reached the 30-HR barrier on Tuesday, serving as the ring leader of the A’s 21-7 payback to the Astros. Olson swatted a pair of homers, drove in four runs and scored three times to pace what was a 25-hit assault. He’s been locked in of late, having recorded hits in nine of his last 11 games that includes five homers. As hard as Garver has hit the ball, Olson has been more pronounced with his swing, delivering hard contact at a 51.2% rate. You have to like the fact Olson is getting line drives at a solid rate (24.7%) while also driving the ball consistently (43.2% fly ball rate). Chances are good he’ll be facing a taxed Astros pitching staff, making him an even stronger option.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Second Baseman

Ketel Marte, ARI at NYM

DK ($5,300), FD ($4,100)

One game after having a run of at least 21.20 FanDuel points in four of his previous five games, Marte got back on track with a pair of hits on Tuesday. Even with an 0-for-4 on Monday, Marte is hitting .481 (13-for-27) in his last eight games with three homers and 10 RBI. Although he hasn’t hit the Mets well this season, two of his seven hits resulted in slow trots around the bases. Good things indeed do happen when your Isolated Power improves by 90 points (.177 last season, .267 this year). Marte has nearly doubled his HR/FB%, standing currently at 20.4% after a 10.9% output in 2018. His .340 BABIP is yet another reason why he’s a solid 9/11 DFS Hitting Picks member.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Shortstop

Gleyber Torres, NYY at DET

DK ($9,400), FD ($4,000)

With D.J. LeMahieu getting Tuesday off, Torres filled the leadoff role. He proceeded to show why he costs a grip at DraftKings by leading off with his 36th homer of the season, helping to give him his fourth of double-digit scoring at FanDuel in his last five games. Torres has a “modest” .815 OPS against lefties (the Tigers will start southpaw Matthew Boyd tonight) yet his road OPS hovers near .950. He has an OPS over 1.200 over the past week and should be able to maintain his 42% fly ball rate.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Third Baseman

Hunter Dozier, KC at CWS

DK ($4,900), FD ($3,900)

Dozier has multi-hit games in five of his last seven outings and has hit the White Sox well this season. In 48 at-bats against the Pale Hose, Dozier has a .354 batting average with three homers and nine RBI. The ability to draw walks has been a factor in Dozier’s 2019, as he sports a 10.3% walk rate along with elevating his BABIP from .296 last season to .342 this year. His 44.1% fly ball rate plays well in hitter-friendly Guaranteed Rate Park, even against a red-hot hurler like Reynaldo Lopez, who gets the nod for Chicago tonight.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Outfielder

Austin Meadows, TB at TEX

DK ($5,200), FD ($3,900)

With four homers in his last six games, Meadows is putting the Rays on his young back and carrying them closer to the AL Wild Card with each swing. Tuesday marked the sixth time in the last nine games Meadows have produced at least 20 FanDuel points and is on a September tear that has him hitting .536 with eight of his 15 hits going for extra bases. The line drives Meadows hit in the minors are now becoming homers, evidenced by his 18.7% HR/FB rate. If the Rays peg him in the #2 spot, Meadows is a very strong 9/11 DFS Hitting Picks play, as his OPS is at 1.400 when hitting second.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Outfielder

Ronald Acuna, Jr., ATL at PHI

DK ($5,200), FD ($4,000)

A three-hit effort on Tuesday continued Acuna’s success against Phillies pitching this season, as he is now at .357 with three homers, 10 RBI and 18 runs scored against them. Acuna smokes the ball at a 44.8% hard contact rate, but he’s becoming a complete hitter. He’s reduced his pull rate and is more of an all-fields hitter who is at 24.8% in HR/FB rate despite hitting fly balls 37.7% of the time. Philadelphia pitcher Zach Eflin has been an easy mark for Braves hitters this season, allowing 12 earned runs in 5.2 innings, so count on Acuna to help the Atlanta bats as extended batting practice against Eflin.

9/11 DFS Hitting Picks — Outfielder

Wil Myers, SD vs. CHC

DK ($4,100), FD ($2,800)

Myers is looking to finish the season strong, stretching his hitting streak to 10 games on Tuesday night. Myers has added 21 points to his batting average since August 30 and is a bargain play at FanDuel. Keep that in mind as he has also been a solid hitter against lefties, producing an .898 OPS despite a .233 batting average. The recent run has helped boost his walk rate to 10.2% along with one of the few times this season Myers’ 48.3% hard contact rate is being put to good use.

9/11 DFS Hitting Stacks

9/11 Hitting Stack of the Day: Oakland A’s: The Astros will go with righty Jose Urquidy, so stack the Oakland lefty bats starting with Olson. Seth Brown ($3400 FanDuel) should be in the lineup as well. Jurickson Profar ($3900 DraftKings) is a solid stack option, but also keep righty bats Khris Davis (a cheap $2700 at FD) and Marcus Semien ($4600 DK) as options.

9/11 Hitting Stack Runner-Up: Atlanta Braves: As previously mentioned, the Braves have hammered Eflin. Acuna is a lock, but Dansby Swanson ($2800 FD) is a value play. Brian McCann ($3500 DK)gets a favorable lefty/righty matchup as well. You have to like Josh Donaldson ($5100 DK) and Ozzie Albies ($3300 FD) among the buffet table of options.

9/11 Hitting Stack to Consider: Tampa Bay Rays: Texas starter Ariel Jurado has a 6.93 ERA in his last 10 appearances while hitters have teed off on him at a .320 clip and 1.60 WHIP. Meadows is front and center in a stack, with Avisail Garcia ($4300 DK) is a good 9/11 DFS Hitting Picks sleeper.

8/24 MLB DFS Winners

A flashback at some of the best performances from the 8/24 MLB DFS slate plus their outlooks for the remainder of the season.

8/24 MLB DFS Winner
Jacob deGrom, ATL at NYM

As our Premium Gold Data Driven Pitcher Projection Model predicted, Jacob deGrom dominated last night against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field. He was projected to be the best available pitcher on the 8/24 slate and proved so with seven innings of one run ball on four hits while adding 13 strikeouts, including a stretch where he recorded eight consecutive punchouts. deGrom also hit a home run at the plate, further emphasizing the type of game he had.

Outlook for the rest of the season: He is still a dominant top pitcher after last season’s output. Another great season as he is top-five in ERA and strikeouts in the Majors. With the New York Mets surging into a potential playoff position, expect deGrom to pitch like the ace he is paid to be.

8/24 MLB DFS Winner: Didi Gregorius

The list above is the prices on DraftKings for shortstops, provided by our Data Driven Hitter Projection Models. Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a pair of homers and five RBI against Hyun-Jin Ryu the Los Angeles Dodgers. Over 20 percent of his hits in the last 30 games have left the ballpark.

Outlook for the rest of the season: “MJG”, as his jersey reads for Players Weekend, has been getting back to speed and looking like the Yankees shortstop prior to his Tommy John surgery. It’s not out of the blue to expect him to get to 20 home runs dispite missing the first two months of the season.

8/24 MLB DFS Winner: Austin Meadows

Our founder and CEO Jason Mezrahi was all over Meadows in this matchup on the Premium Gold Cheat Sheet. Meadows faced off against the Baltimore Orioles and went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI.

Outlook for the rest of the season: This was the second consecutive game where Austin Meadows hit a home run. However, beware of a potential falloff as he has never played this many games in a season since 2015. A fatigue factor could play as the stretch run begins. Keep that in the back of your mind as Meadows continues to play in the final month of the regular season.

8/24 MLB DFS Winner: The Twins Offense

The Twins scored six runs including a pair of homers by Jake Cave and Miguel Sano.

Outlook for the rest of the season: The current A.L. Central leader, the Twins will produce a lineup many opposing pitchers have difficulties navigating. As they continue to battle with the Indians over the division crown, expect the lineup to continue producing.

MLB Pitching/MKF Picks for July 14- Zack Attack

Mark Paquette 5 years ago

written by Mark Paquette

Sunday’s are enjoyable for me in the DFS world, generally all the games are on the same slate and pitching choices abound. The first Sunday after the All Star Break is no different.

Upper-Tier Pitching

Zack Greinke, Diamondbacks at Cardinals ($9,600 FD, $10,300 DK): Sometimes FD, because they are a one pitcher site, seems to dare you to use a pitcher over another for some reason. That is the case with Greinke today. He seems to cheap and in too good of a spot (STL really struggles against righties, 25th in the league at OPS at .707, second to last at ISO with a pathetic .148) to not use him as your cash pitcher. For pitching purposes, he seems to be in the classic safe, cash-game mode today, with a high floor. Greinke is coming off a great first half. He threw seven shutout innings in each of his past two starts leading into the break.

Jacob deGrom, Mets at Marlins ($10,800 FD, $10,800 DK): Because of his volatility this season, deGrom will likely not be my pitching choice for cash games today. All you have to do is go back to a previous start in Miami, where he gave up six runs and nine hits in only five innings of work, to see the up and down nature of deGrom’s season so far. The Mets wisely gave deGrom, a NL All-Star, a full eight days off between this start and his most recent one. deGrom has one win in his last 10 starts, despite a 3.29 ERA in that span.

Middle-Tier Pitching

Jose Quintana, Pirates at Cubs ($8,000 FD, $7,300 DK): The DK price seems particularly appealing for cash games expecially if you want to use plenty of Coors bats. Pirates fans can hope that their annual second half swoon is not under way, but it probably is. And Quintana is likely going to be a big part of it continuing. Quintana has started to throw more breaking balls in his last two starts, and the results show that has been a wise choice. He has 10 strikeouts and one walk over 13 IP in those pair of outings. That included a seven-inning win over the Pirates on July 4. He is 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA in seven career starts vs. the Bucs.

Homer Bailey, Tigers at Royals ($7,100 FD, $6,800 DK): A possible cash-game choice is you just want to grab as many Coors bats as you can. This pick is about that fact and two others as well. Kauffman Stadium is an extreme pitchers park and the Tigers are really bad against righties. I am not going to blame you to roll out Homer today in your cash lineups.

Bargain Basement Pitching

Sandy Alcantara, Mets at Marlins ($7,600 FD, $6,300 DK): I guess the pricing makes Bailey and Alcantara interchangeable between bargain basement and middle-tier arms but the reasons behind it are the same. The Mets are not a good hitting baseball team and they will play is a park that is great for pitchers. And, if you want to use someone that has had success against an opponent this season so far, Sandy is your guy. May 19th at home against New York: a complete-game shutout with only two hits given up, a single walk and eight strikeouts.

Monkey Knife Fight Pick of the Day

I will not blame you if you want to go to Coors and do a Daniel Murphy, Phillip Ervin and Puig trio like this one from Tampa Bay. I love picking on the Orioles pitching staff as a whole. With their starter for today traded to the Red Sox, they will scramble to find another one and will likely ask a terrible bullpen for more innings than they normally would.

DFS Stacks for 6/7: Runs are Brewin’

Jared Contestabile 6 years ago

written by Jared Contestabile

1.) Houston Astros:

Gabriel Ynoa is terrible. On the road this season, in a small sample size, he holds a 6.52 ERA. Against right-handed bats, and he has a .357 BAA. I see the Astros taking Ynoa out of this game fairly quickly and I can’t wait to see how they dismantle this bullpen. I’m all in on Alex Bregman and Michael Brantley, and I don’t mind Derek Fisher for salary relief. Using Robinson Chirinos to round out your stack for a low-owned bomb should be considered too.

2.) Texas Rangers:

Ah, back in the Texas heat we go. Brett Anderson is a gas can and I will gladly attack him every time he hits the bump. You should feature Shin-Soo Choo, Nomar Mazara and Elvis Andrus to round out this stack.

3.) Milwaukee Brewers:

Rookie Davis is a gas can. In his limited career, he holds a 9.58 road ERA and a .383 BAA. He’s equally terrible against righties and lefties, and his strikeout ability is nothing to be impressed by. With all this power in the Brewers lineup, especially the lefties, we should see plenty of runs. The main bats I want are the lefties: Christian Yelich, Mike Moustakas, Yasmani Grandal and I don’t mind Travis Shaw either. One main reason I’m looking at the power lefties is because Davis has a 3.21 HR/9 against them. This is my favorite GPP stack, no matter the ownership percentages.

4.) Tampa Bay Rays:

This is my underdog stack of the night. No one ever really likes stacking the Rays and I’ll keep taking advantage. Rick Porcello has shown flashes of being decent this season, but he’s been very inconsistent. With his struggles against lefties, my main focus is Austin Meadows. On the road against right-handed pitching, Meadows is batting .418 with a 49% hard-hit rate. Pair him up with Ji-Man Choi, Tommy Pham and Kevin Kiermaier and we have a nice four-man stack that’s going to be very low owned.

Win Daily on Deck: Pregame Notes and Updates for 5/29

MLBMovingAvg 6 years ago

written by MLBMovingAvg

Hello all! JaguarLou here welcoming you to Win Daily on Deck, a blog style article that will be posted by 5:00 pm EST every day and updated frequently until 7:00 PM lock, providing the most up to date DFS information for FanDuel and DraftKings main slates.

Notes for 5/29 main slate (Published 5:04 pm EST)

Austin Meadows is leading off for Tampa Bay tonight against Trent Thornton. Despite only a three at bat sample size, Meadows has two prior homers against Thornton and comes into this game red-hot averaging a .414 BA over the last seven days (29 AB) with three homers! Austin Meadows is my second favorite play of the night. Who’s first? Guess you’ll have to keep reading.
Okay so this is a unique value play but i’m very confident in a solid floor tonight for Baltimore’s most recent call up, D.J. Stewart. He has been on fire between his month of May in AAA and his 2019 debut last night where he went 3 for 4 with a SB totaling 15 FanDuel Points. In fact, Stewart has been tearing it up in AAA for some time now, posting a .316 BA with 35 RBI over 152 at bats in 2019 playing for the Norfolk Tides, a AAA team in the International league. I’m locking in D.J. Stewart as my value play of the day. **Don’t forget Camden Yards is a hitter’s paradise.**
I hope it’s no secret that Nolan Arenado is the must play of the night as he is batting .382 with five doubles, one triple and three home runs in just 39 at bats against Robbie Ray. Not to mention, Coors Field is allowing 1.456 runs/game which is ranked highest in the majors. Don’t think about this one, lock him in!
Wade Miley is going up against a Chicago Cubs team that has struck out 77 times over the last seven games, which leads the league by far. At the moment the Cubs are striking out at a shocking rate and they set to face a left handed pitcher in Wade Miley who has been playing well as of late. Also, the Cubs as a team have problems with lefties, hitting a mere .240 team against southpaws so far this season with only 29 home runs in 362 at bats.
I’m not in love with this play but Mike Yastrzemski is batting second and is therefore worth a second look tonight against Pablo Lopez.

(Updated 5:33 pm EST)

Brandon Lowe is sitting in that cleanup spot. I love his power along with his increased RBI opportunities tonight. Vegas has the under/over for the Rays matchup with the Blue Jays at seven, which isn’t the best of news if you’re investing in two of Tampa Bay’s most talented hitters. But with that said, Tampa is favored by -260 which is very high. Count on the Rays winning this one 6 or 7 to zero with Snell dominating the mound. Also, count on a big part of Tampa’s offense to come from Meadows and Lowe, I love having high exposure to the 1 and 4 batters only as a sneaky(ish) two man stack, especially tonight in a lineup that I think can do some serious damage.

(Updated 5:56 pm)

Starlin Castro has some impressive BvP stats against Bumgarner while sitting in the clean up spot on an offense that is currently thriving going 8 and 3 over their last 11 games. Castro owns a career .424 BA in 33 at-bats vs. Bumgarner. If the RBI opportunities are there (which they very well should/could be), expect some serious production from the Marlins second basemen at a low price of $2,200, likely at low ownership. Can you ask for anything more?

(Updated 6:00 PM EST)

Ketel Marte is OUT

(Updated 6:16 PM EST)

If you need value, two back end stacks are very interesting to me and they’re in the same game! Yes, I said it! Back end game stack baby! When have you ever heard of that? But seriously, the more I dive into this slate, the more I see potential for the 5,6,7,9 batters on Detroit and the 7,8,9 batters on Baltimore. If you have the guts, it’s a very interesting lineup structure but will allow you to get Snell, who should be in for one hell of a night! Just to be clear I’m talking about Dixon, Rodriguez, Hicks and Jones on Detroit and D.J. Stewart, Austin Wynns and Richie Martin on Baltimore. Clearly a risky stack and clearly these are all low owned value plays, but hey, that’s what takes down a GPP tournament!

(Updated 6:20 EST)

Waiting on the last lineup confirmation (NY Mets) to make final lineup decisions.

More to be updated closer to 7:05 lock…

MLB DFS Winners and Losers: Cole, Meadows and More

Emely Sharman 6 years ago

written by Emely Sharman

There was a 14 game slate on Memorial Day. I will go into detail on some players who performed really well and a couple who underachieved. The game between the Royals and White Sox was postponed in the fifth inning. Points and salaries are based on DraftKings.

Winners

Gerrit Cole ($11,300)

Cole and the Astros hosted the Chicago Cubs on Monday and got the win 6-5. Cole pitched really well and gave up only two earned runs on three hits and a walk. He gave up one home run over his 99 pitches and six full innings. He was able to rack up 12 strikeouts against the Cubs order. He scored 35.10 fantasy points. Cole got the win in this one and improved to 5-5 on the year. His ERA is now at 4.02 with a WHIP of 1.05. These are very good numbers but his strikeout rate is where he makes up most of his fantasy points. He has 112 strikeouts over 71.2 innings for a K/9 of 14.08. He also only has 18 walks.

Cole’s Outlook

Cole’s next projected start will come against Athletics on Sunday June 2nd. The A’s have scored the the 12th most runs in the league this year and average 4.89 runs per game. They rank 18th in the league in batting average at .246. The Athletics do avoid the strikeout really well and average only 7.56 per game, which ranks them among the Top 5 in the league. Most of Cole’s production comes from his strikeouts and with the A’s being among the leaders in strikeout avoidance I see this as a spot to fade Cole.

Austin Meadows ($5,400)

Austin Meadows of the Tampa Bay Rays played against the Blue Jays at home on Memorial Day. The Rays won this game 8-3 in large part because of Meadows. He went 3-for-5 with a home run and a stolen base. He added three RBI and scored once. He also struck out once. Meadows’ home run came late in the game in the bottom of the eighth. He scored 29 fantasy points. Meadows has put up huge numbers so far. He is hitting .351 with an OPS of 1.105. He has 11 home runs and 30 RBI. He has also added six stolen bases. This is Meadows’ third multi hit game in his last four.

Meadows’ Outlook

The Rays have two more home games against the Blue Jays. Toronto’s pitching staff has been average this year and has the 14th best team ERA in the league at 4.29. They allow an opponent’s batting average of .244, which also ranks 14th in the league. Meadows has been an extremely hot hitter lately and I don’t think he will be slowed down too much by the Blue Jays pitching staff. If you can make room, roster him with confidence for the remainder of this series.

Yonny Chirinos ($7,900)

Yonny Chirinos, also of the Tampa Bay Rays, continued the dominance of the Rays pitching staff. He had a no-hitter for five innings before being pulled after just 69 pitches. He will not go too deep into games and this was not a surprise. He walked two and struck out seven. Chirinos improved to 6-1 on the year and has 11 appearances and five starts. He has an ERA of 2.91 with a WHIP of 0.86. His K/9 is only 6.80, which is right about on his career average.

Chirinos’ Outlook

Chirinos’ next projected start will come against the Twins at home. The Twins offense has been incredible this year and they average over six runs scored per game. They are second in the league with a .273 team batting average. They have hit 104 home runs, tops in the league. They also have the third least strikeouts in the league. All of this adds up to create a spot to fade Chirinos. Moving forward, though, I will look to roster him at his price even as his role doesn’t always allow him to go as deep into games as other pitchers.

Losers

Cole Hamels ($9,200)

Hamels and the Cubs faced off against the Houston Astros on the road and he was roughed up early in this one. He gave up six earned runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings pitched. He was not able to get one single strikeout in this one. Hamels dropped to 4-1 on this year. His ERA is now at 4.02 and his WHIP is at 1.36. He has 60 strikeouts over 62.2 innings this year and his K/9 is just under nine. This was Hamels’ second consecutive bad start after giving up three earned runs on nine hits, over just four innings in his last outing.

Hamels’ Outlook

Hamel’s next projected start will come against the St Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals average exactly five runs per game this year and have a team batting average of .253. With Hamels struggling lately and the Cardinals offense putting up decent numbers, I will be staying away from him in this one. I will most likely be staying away in the future until he can regain his early season form.

Ryan Braun ($4,500)

The Brewers beat the Twins on the road on Monday. They won 5-4, but most of the offensive production did not come from the big names. Braun went 0-for-4 in this one. His batting average is now at .274 and his OPS dropped to .813. He has also added four stolen bases this year. He has been really good lately and has a batting average of .407 in the month of May. He also has four home runs and 14 RBI this month.

Braun’s Outlook

The Brewers have one more game against the Twins before heading to Pittsburgh for a series against the Pirates. Minnesota’s pitching staff has been really good this year but the same cannot be said about the Pirates. The Pirates have a team ERA of 4.60, which ranks them at 19th in the league. They allow an opposing batting average of .250. I will not be rostering Braun against the Twins Tuesday but I will look for him to build on his huge May against the Pirates.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 5/23: Bundy Bashing

Wes Anderson 6 years ago

written by Wes Anderson

New York Yankees

Picking onthe Orioles’ Dylan Bundy seems like a great start to a winning DFS lineup. Theright-handed starter has a 4.46 SIERA this season as well as a 45.4% flyballrate. Bundy also is allowing 2.14 HR/9, which highest on the slate. Look forthe Yankees to take advantage of this matchup as the Pinstripes have a team ISOof .200 against righties this season.

The Yankees’build has to start with Gary Sanchez (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings: $5,600). The catcheris red hot and that should continue on Thursday. As Sanchez is raking againstrighties this season. He owns a .392 ISO and a .413 wOBA against them. You canbuild around Sanchez with a combination of Gleyber Torres (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings:$5,400), Brett Gardner (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $4,500), Luke Voit (FanDuel:$4,100 DraftKings: $5,100) and Clint Frazier (FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,500)as well. Each of those four Yankees’ hitters have .220-plus ISOs againstright-handed pitching in 2019.

Washington Nationals

The Nationals’ offense has found a lot of success against left-handedpitching in 2019. They have a .207 ISO and a .358 wOBA versus southpaws. Lookfor that good fortune to continue today against the Mets’ Steven Matz.

When building your Nationals stack, you will want to start the construction with Anthony Rendon (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings: $5,700). The infielder has crushed lefties this season. He has a .462 ISO and a .515 wOBA versus them. But also, he is killing the sinker this season. Rendon has a 1.440 SLG against that pitch this season, while Matz has relied on that pitch type 61.6% of the time this season.

You also need to consider Trea Turner (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $4,800). The speedster has a career .308 BAA versus the sinker and also have an ISO of .333 versus lefties in 2019. Juan Soto (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $4,800), Brian Dozier (FanDuel: $2,500 DraftKings: $3,600), Victor Robles (FanDuel: $3,200 DraftKings: $4,300) and Howie Kendrick (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $4,800) should all be considered as well. Each of those Nationals’ hitters have .200-plus ISOs against left-handed pitching in 2019.

Tampa Bay Rays

Cleveland’s Adam Plutko is a guy you will want to attack. In his career he has allowed a 2.40 HR/9 and has a 5.46 xFIP. So, feel free to load up on Rays. Guys like Austin Meadows (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,600), Ji-Man Choi (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $3,900) and Brandon Lowe (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $5,200) should be your main targets, as they all have wOBAs greater than .340 against right-handed pitching.

Chicago Cubs/Philadelphia Phillies

Be sure to check back here with Win Daily DFS to get a full weather report, but it appears that the wind will be blowing out at Wrigley on Thursday. If the wind reaches double-digits in terms of MPH, load up on all the Cubs and Phillies you can in your lineups.

Good luckand happy stacking!
