daily fantasy baseball

Welcome to the Thursday, July 22nd edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we dive into the top fantasy baseball plays and slate strategy to help you take down tournaments all season long at Win Daily Sports!

If you are new to MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, the goal of this article is not simply to list out the “best plays” but rather to walk through the context of the slate and help you identify the best arms and stacks to build around for MLB DFS tournament play. We will use DraftKings pricing as our anchor and help you get a head start on your winning builds!

Main Slate Breakdown

Welcome into an 8 game MLB DFS Picks and Pivots Main Slate on Thursday where we get an all-clear weather day and well, another disgusting pitching slate. Seriously, Jacob deGrom goes on the IL and you realize how you never want to play a single pitcher in MLB DFS these days!

Even when we have big names as we did last night with McCullers/Ray and listen, we have it again tonight with Buehler/Manaea – the question we have to keep asking is if they are really worth it? Night after night, slate after slate, we are seeing value arms that drive 15-20 DK point outings and when the “ace” arms are underperforming – you simply don’t have the same opportunity cost to miss at your pitching spots.

With that being said – can we look to the bottom of the player pool tonight with Luis Patino ($6.5K) who is getting called up to make the start against the Indians.

Patino is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and was the centerpiece of the Blake Snell deal that sent him to San Diego and when you dig into Patino’s stuff – you can see why.

In AAA this year, Patino has 41 K’s in 29 innings of work, a 33.7% K rate, and in his most recent start for the Bulls, he went 6 innings, threw 90 pitches, and struck out 7, so we know he is stretched out.

If Jose Ramirez remains sidelined, this Indians opposing lineup is one I think we can and should attack, and with the K pedigree of Patino at this price point, I could argue he is one of the best pure pitching plays on the slate.

Let’s stay right here because not only do I love Patino but today my friends – is a Rays day!

With Cal Quantrill on the mound and the Rays being on the road, we get 9 innings of Tampa Bay at-bats which you know is a Picks and Pivots favorite. Quantrill’s splits are significant – as he has a .263 ISO, 45% fly-ball rate, and 41% HC rate to left-handed batters.

Pitch type-wise – Quantrill is going to rely heavily on his sinker, which he throws 35% of the time to LHB and is giving up a crazy high .400 ISO mark against. Guess who hammers the sinker? Yep – Austin Meadows – who has a .256 ISO and a team-high 342 average distance batted ball on that pitch type. Bombs away captain!

The other left-handed batters here today for Tampa also have massive hard contact rates against the sinker – with Brandon Lowe (47%), Ji-Man Choi (57%), Kevin Kiermeir (40%) and Taylor Walls (67%).

Want a hot take? Skip Wander Franco in your Rays stack today and use Taylor Walls instead in a wrap-around stack to be different. Franco has a ZERO ISO mark against RHP thus far and his 30% HC rate is the lowest on the team. Walls meanwhile has a sneaky strong batted ball profile, with a .308 ISO and average batted-ball distance of 327 feet against the sinker.

Adam Strangis mentioned the Twins as his favorite stack against Andrew Heaney and it is hard to argue considering the left-hander is giving up a .207 ISO mark and a massive 50% HC rate to right-handed batters.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the correlation that the Twins right-handed batters offer around a Rays stack and this is the exact path I intend on rocking today!

MLB DFS Picks and Pivots – The Wrap-Up

I love how this 8 game MLB DFS Picks and Pivots slate is coming together and this slate size and the contest offerings on DraftKings make me really excited for what we can build!

The Rays/Twins correlated stack alongside a cheap SP2 in Luis Patino gives me the ability to pay up for an SP1 while still loading up on all the bats I want – and that is the path that seems to be proving success in recent weeks on a consistent basis.

Welcome to the Wednesday, July 21st edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we dive into the top fantasy baseball plays and slate strategy to help you take down tournaments all season long at Win Daily Sports!

If you are new to MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, the goal of this article is not simply to list out the “best plays” but rather to walk through the context of the slate and help you identify the best arms and stacks to build around for MLB DFS tournament play. We will use DraftKings pricing as our anchor and help you get a head start on your winning builds!

Early Slate Breakdown

Welcome into a split slate Wednesday of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we kick things off with a 6 game early slate that locks at 12:10 PM EST with a game in Coors Field, a 7 inning game between the Padres/Braves, and some well, let call it – interesting pricing.

Have you ever been out to eat at a new place, you sit down and open the menu and go wow, these prices are high but hey as long as the food is good right? Then the food comes and it is underwhelming and now you are annoyed you not only had a bad meal but you also paid a premium for it?

Well, get ready to step into that overpriced restaurant today for lunch where you have to pay $10K for Marcus Stroman and Madison Bumgarner. But hey, at least they are good, right?

The pricing is egregious for both arms, but can I say I actually love it? They are making you think about how much you are really willing to pay for perceived safety in your MLB DFS builds and kudos to DK for that. The flip side of this pricing equation is that DraftKings made the hitter pricing incredibly soft, with nearly 30 batters in the projected player pool priced under $3K and so we have 25-30% of our player pool in value territory.

The issue with paying up for Stroman and/or Mad-Bum is that they simply do not offer you the K ceiling to pay off that price tag and when the overall landscape in baseball right now is that offense is running the show, I am not sure we can allocate that much salary to arms that are going to pitch to contact and we hope “don’t hurt us.”

The key then is building on this early slate around offense and taking calculated shots on our arms and I think we have a few options that allow us this route.

Max Kranick ($7K) will make the start today in Chase Field against Arizona and if you are a Picks and Pivots reader, you know we were all over the Pirates top prospect in his first start back in June when he did this –

If you remember in that first start we detailed how Kranick re-invented himself during the pandemic with that short arm action delivery you see above and it has, in turn, brought significantly more velocity sitting in the mid to upper 90’s that he can use to play off his plus slider.

The Arizona projected line-up has 6 batters with 20%+ K rates against RHP this season and we have seen 7 of the last 10 RHP against Arizona go for 15+ DK points. When you add on the NARRATIVE alert that Max Kranick is celebrating his 24th birthday today – well, how do you pass on him at just $7K?

Brad Keller’s ($6.9K) season-long metrics are not going to entice you but his last two games have been arguably his best, with 9 and 7 K’s and a 14.5% swinging-strike rate. What fascinates me about him is that he is changed his pitch mix drastically in these last two starts and so for that reason, I think we have to take notice.

Prior to his last two starts, Keller had thrown 63% fastballs and 31% sliders – the last two starts however, Keller has thrown just 47% fastballs and ratcheted up his slider usage to 50%.

The slider is Keller’s swing and miss offering – it has a 35% whiff rate against left-handed batters and against a lefty-heavy Brewers team today that all have 30-35% whiff rates against that pitch type, I think we have another sneaky path for Mr. Keller who has seemingly reinvented himself.

The bats are when you are going to win your money today and with Coors Field on the slate, my guess is most go there – but I am more than happy to anchor to the New York Mets here today against Jeff Hoffman and the atrocious Reds bullpen.

Hoffman traditionally is a reverse splits arm with more of his power struggles coming against RHB which puts the red-hot Pete Alonso firmly back on our radar today alongside a left-handed heavy Mets line-up. Against left-handed batters this year Hoffman has struggled significantly with command, sporting a 18.6% walk rate which is 4 points higher than his K rate – never a good sign.

Any time we have a pitcher who struggles with command, you want to stack even more because you are looking at attack up and down where we get multiple base runners and big hits and crooked numbers.

The other spot here today that I want to use as a secondary stack, despite the fact that it is just a 7 inning game, is the Padres against LHP Kyle Muller.

Very specifically, I want the Fernando Tatis/Manny Machado combination.

The reason I bring them up alongside the Mets is how well they correlate because with Lindor on the IL, you can fill in the SS/3B in a Mets stack with arguably the two best bats on the slate. And while a 7 inning game is never ideal, the fact they are the road team guarantees us the 7 innings of at-bats and I think they have the individual ceiling that no other bats have on this slate.

Main Slate Breakdown

The MLB DFS Picks and Pivots main slate, mercifully is far more intriguing on the pitching end of things with two aces up top that have high K ceiling in Lance McCullers and Robbie Ray. The more I look at the options, I tend to agree with Adam Strangis in Starting Rotation, this is where we anchor to.

Now as he mentioned, it likely means having to avoid the Blue Jays – or does it?

Listen, the Jays are the best stack on the Main Slate against Garret Richards and while they are pricey, I think there is a path to stacking them up alongside double aces here tonight!

The key is the Texas Rangers against RHP Matt Manning as the Texas bats are basically free on DraftKings. 5 of the 9 projected batters in the Texas line-up are under $2.6K and while Manning has a pedigree, he has also struggled thus far with a near 50% hard contact rate allowed.

The Rangers bats correlate so well with the Blue Jays too as you can slot in a punt catcher like Jonah Heim at $2.2K in the heart of the order, allowing you to fill a spot you don’t want to “waste” with a Toronto catcher.

The simple fact, you can get the two best arms on the slate and the best stack in Toronto all as a result of the dirt-cheap Rangers bats makes the main slate a really clear build at first glance.

MLB DFS Picks and Pivots – The Wrap-Up

This MLB DFS Picks and Pivots day is a tale of two slates – one that requires some serious beer goggles and one that well, requires you to follow a really clear path.

The early slate is the one where you are going to struggle to feel comfortable but listen, everyone else will too – we all have the same horrendous options. Don’t be afraid to take chances and as we see ownership, allow yourself to think strategically.

The Main Slate – my advice, don’t overthink it. Just don’t.

Welcome to the Tuesday, July 20th edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we dive into the top fantasy baseball plays and slate strategy to help you take down tournaments all season long at Win Daily Sports!

If you are new to MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, the goal of this article is not simply to list out the “best plays” but rather to walk through the context of the slate and help you identify the best arms and stacks to build around for MLB DFS tournament play.

Main Slate Breakdown

Welcome into a 13 game MLB DFS Picks and Pivots slate where we once against have major rain concerns in Atlanta for the Braves/Padres and some additional rain risk in the Red Sox and Blue Jays game.

After last night’s wild MLB DFS slate, I do wonder how much recency bias plays into tonight and if folks opt to go back to many of the same spots hoping for a repeat of big-time hitting performances. I also found it interesting that yesterday, with the top-priced arms in tough spots most of the ownership settled in the next level down and I wonder if we see similar trends here this evening.

To me, I still think anchoring to elite K arms is the best route, despite the inconsistent returns and with elite K arms like Yu Darvish and Aaron Nola both under $10K, I love the price discount we are getting on them as SP1’s (understanding that Darvish may never pitch due to rain).

There is one low-end option I have my eye on though and that is Dodgers right-hander Josiah Gray ($4.7K), the Dodgers #2 prospect and a top 40 overall MLB prospect.

Gray has sported 30% K marks at all minor league levels and has a 38% K rate at AAA in his first 15 innings and while he may need more seasoning he will get his first taste of big-league action tonight serving as the long man after the Dodgers use an opener.

Now there is always risk in these non-traditional settings and even more so with a rookie arm, but this is a top K, high-pedigree prospect with a high 90’s rising heater and a nasty breaker he uses to play off it. For under $5K on DraftKings, he could pay massive dividends if you want to go dumpster diving here tonight.

If this high/low route is too risky – once again the $8K range is STRONG and I could see going far more balanced with this range as Adam outlined in Starting Rotation.

Tarik Skubal ($7.7K) gets the ideal spot with a lefty against the Rangers, a match-up we just targeted with Hyun Jin Ryu. In the last three starts, lefties have made against Texas, both Ryu and Robbie Ray dropped ceiling 30+ DK point match-ups and Skubal has the elevated K rate, seeing his strikeout rate rise to 34% in May and 31% in June that gives us elite K upside in a match-up that has paid off all season long.

The other arm I have my eye on in the mid-range is Shane McClanahan ($8.7K). It is funny how these prospects come up, we get hyped and then move on and for a first-rounder like the Rays lefty, all he has done is deliver – with a 28% K rate thus far.

Past the top 3 in the Baltimore lineup, the rest of this Orioles lineup has all hitters with 23% or higher K rates against lefties and we have seen since the beginning of June, 4 LHP have put up 20+ DK outings with Ryu (2x), Anthony Kay and Ryan Yarbrough. After Yarbrough failed as a popular option yesterday, we could even get an ownership discount here on a high K arm with elite pedigree.

Now to the bats!

If you look at the big IRT’s for the offenses today and you assume the Padres are rained out, all of a sudden it’s the Rockies in Coors Field and the same crew from yesterday that went nuts with the Red Sox, Mets, and Reds. Pure speculation but I think we see inflated ownership in those spots due to recency bias.

Moving off them could be a great way to make waves in GPP’s and the Philadelphia Phillies are the team that really stood out to me at first glance against Domingo German and the Yankees. German has given up serious hard contact this season with a .200 ISO and 43% hard contact rate and with the Phillies gaining the DH and playing in a hot Yankee Stadium, we could see the ball fly here.

The Phillies by and large are a cheap stack too – sure you have Hoskins and Harper as pricey plays but you also get cheap lefties to balance the stack with Didi Gregorious (back in Yankee Stadium) and Brad Miller ($2.6K) with 2B/OF dual position eligibility.

The other mini-stack I really like here is the Minnesota Twins against Dallas Keuchel. Now Keuchel is not an arm you typically stack against due to his high ground ball rate but this is also a pitcher with just a 12% K rate and 45% hard contact rate to right-handed batters and well – that is one thing the Twins offer at an elite level with Nelson Cruz, Josh Donaldson and Mitch Garver who is back and only $3.6K on DK.

If you look at Keuchel’s pitch type – he relies heavily on a change-up to RHB and all three hitters noted above have elite profiles against it, with Cruz sporting a team-high .408 ISO and 55% HC rate. The sinker becomes the next option and Garver has a monster .741 ISO, 68% HC rate and a 390+ foot average distance traveled.

To me, this is the ideal spot to go mini-stack HR hunting versus the all-in stack and when we look for correlation – they sit nicely alongside an all-in Phillies barrage today!

MLB DFS Picks and Pivots – The Wrap-Up

Tonight’s slate has weather risks and I think we will see a ton of recency bias impact of MLB DFS picks across the industry which gives us the opportunity to pivot and make GPP waves.

The Phillies/Twins stack offers you power and balanced salary builds that will open up really any pitching path you want – either high/low or balanced. Keep an eye on ownership today and stay in Discord so we can update our thoughts as the day goes on!

Welcome to the Monday, July 19th edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we dive into the top fantasy baseball plays and slate strategy to help you take down tournaments all season long at Win Daily Sports!

If you are new to MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, the goal of this article is not simply to list out the “best plays” but rather to walk through the context of the slate and help you identify the best arms and stacks to build around for MLB DFS tournament play. We will use DraftKings pricing as our anchor and help you get a head start on your winning builds!

Main Slate Breakdown

Welcome into an 11 game Monday MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we kick-off the week with a solid slate that has some fascinating GPP appeal due to the fact that we really lack the “obvious plays.” Any time we get a slate where the top arms are not in ideal match-ups or we don’t have a gaudy 6+ Coors Field type total, it makes things far more interesting and likely far less chalky.

We have three elite strikeout arms on today’s slate with Kevin Gausman, Yu Darvish and Shohei Ohtani and I start here because we saw it yesterday, K’s are still king in MLB DFS as ceiling games from Carlos Rodon and Corbin Burnes were anchors to winning GPP line-ups. The one concern today is the weather in Atlanta with serious storms that could threaten this game and really change the landscape.

Now, I know – the last month and a half since the sticky stuff breakdown, many have been hesitant to pay up for pitching as admittedly, the returns are far less consistent, but I still argue that this is the best path for single entry type builds.

When you layer on the fact that the mid to low range of pitching on this slate is flat-out ugly, I tend to side with Adam Strangis in Starting Rotation where we anchor to the top K arms, even in match-ups we may not love.

One of the reasons, I think we take this path is that the stacks I love today are simply – not that expensive and I have the opportunity to go double ace with my favorite bats, so why get cute?

Let’s not overlook the obvious – it is Jon Lester day and my friends, this spot is absolutely gorgeous. Lester is giving up a .242 ISO to right-handed batters and this Marlins lineup is loaded with right-handed and affordable power with the projected line-up sporting a .210 ISO and 40% HC rate against LHP since the start of last season.

The one “issue” writing this early is that the projected line-up we see this morning may not look anything like what gets rolled out later on due to both Jazz Chisholm and Garrett Coopper leaving Sunday’s game with injuries that require X-rays and MRI’s.

What you can anchor to is the trio of big right-handed bats in Jesus Aguilar, Starling Marte and Adam Duvall and when you dig into pitch type you see some premium bats pop. We know Lester’s cutter has been the pitch to attack this year with an absurd .502 ISO mark and 43% hard contact rate against it. Both Marte and Aguilar stand out with .375 and .235 ISO marks respectively, and Duvall leads the team with a .247 ISO mark versus southpaws this season.

Where it could get interesting, and allow us a path to pay for the double aces with ease, is if Jazz/Cooper end up sitting and we get some added value in the Marlins lineup and it sure sounds like Chisholm is headed for an IL stint we need to watch this Miami starting lineup for value today!

The other spot that stands out to me today for value, well, may not normally be a spot I look for value but take a peek at San Diego for a second. The match-up versus LHP Kyle Muller is not one I set out to target but I also cannot overlook when we get a team with multiple punt projected starts as the Padres have with Webster Rivas and Ha-Seong Kim.

Now, these guys are not the reasons you start with the Padres – but their inclusion is what all of a sudden allows you to get Fernando Tatis and Manny Machado into a Marlins/Padres stacking combination.

I preach roster correlation all the time – and guess what the Marlins do not have – strong 3B and SS options – paving the way to load in arguably the two best bats on the slate into our line-ups today in an ultra Stars/Scrubs type build.

Now, Muller is an arm I have argued we should use early in the season due to his minor league K pedigree but flip the script here a second and this is the same arm that has had strong fly ball tendencies and HR issues at AAA, and has given up a 60% fly-ball rate to right-handed batters in his short big league time.

This is not an indictment of Muller’s talent, it is an opportunity to potentially get Tatis/Machado who have .330+ ISO marks against both of Muller’s primary pitch types in the slider and curveball.

In both of these cases, we get to anchor to one of my favorite strategies – stacking road teams with guaranteed 9 innings of at-bats. I know it may seem like a throw-away comment but when I know I can anchor to stacks that will get 11% more at bat’s, it becomes a slight edge for those who stack home teams and when every at-bat is a chance to make a difference in tournaments, I want any edge I can get.

MLB DFS Picks and Pivots – The Wrap-Up

Walking into this MLB DFS Picks and Pivots slate, I think the path for a “double-ace” approach with elite road stacks is really clear and becomes even more doable pending the Marlins line-up post-injury news.

Personally, I think you need to anchor to the top arms due to a combination of K upside and the opportunity cost of fading them. If guys like Gausman, Darvish and Ohtani have ceiling-type 30+ DK point games, the reality is they could lap the pitching field by double because there are far more floor arms today than those who have GPP ceiling. So anchoring to those builds and being able to do so with some punt value that still allows us the big bats, is a path I am all about today!

Welcome to the Sunday, July 18th edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we dive into the top fantasy baseball plays and slate strategy to help you take down tournaments all season long at Win Daily Sports!

If you are new to MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, the goal of this article is not simply to list out the “best plays” but rather to walk through the context of the slate and help you identify the best arms and stacks to build around for MLB DFS tournament play. We will use DraftKings pricing as our anchor and help you get a head start on your winning builds!

Main Slate Breakdown

Welcome into a Sunday MLB DFS Picks and Pivots where we have a much more clear weather slate ahead of us however we do have some unique aspects of this 10 game slate as the Jays/Rangers game is a 7 inning double-header and the games in Washington and Philadelphia will start delayed as they need to resume the games from last night first.

The one thing we know for sure – pitching is STRONG on this slate, like really strong. You could make the argument for half the arms on this slate as viable pitching targets and as such, the takeaway for me is that we cannot take unnecessary risks with arms today and need to ensure we hit on our two pitchers on DraftKings.

Now that does not necessarily mean we have to pay all the way up for the likes of Burnes, Max or Wheeler – all strong plays, but I think the next tier down provides more point per dollar upside.

Sonny Gray ($8.2K) is coming off the All-Star Break IL with a rib strain, and assuming we hear of no pitch count issues, we simply need to go right back to him at this price point. In his previous two starts before the break, Gray struck out 7 and 8 batters and his 30% K rate on the season gives you elite strikeout upside at a mid-range price point.

The match-up against Milwaukee sets up perfectly as well, with 5 of the 8 projected batters hitting from the left side where Gray has a 34.4% K rate this season and this is a line-up overall with a 25% K rate against RHP since the start of last season.

The other mid-range arm in an elite match-up with Hyun Jin Ryu ($7.6K) against the K-happy Texas Rangers in a 7 inning double-header contest. Five of the eight batters in this projected Texas line-up have a K rate of 28% or higher against LHP since the start of last season including 3 left-handed batters with Gallo, Dahl, and Lowe who have a combined 30%+ K rate against southpaws.

When pivoting to the bats, yeah – it has been a while but boy oh boy – today is the day we go back to our Tampa Bay Rays stacks against LHP Drew Smyly.

If you look at the metrics for Smyly this season, his sub 5 ERA actually tells you he has been lucky as compared to his 5.26 xFIP and his .200+ ISO and 46% hard contact rates allowed along with a 2 HR/9 rate, tells you this is a blow-up spot that could happen at any moment and we know the Rays are the kind of offense that can win you a GPP when the bats are clicking.

What I love about this Rays stack is how balanced it is from the right/left side and I think having lefties like Austin Meadows and Brandon Lowe in the middle of the order, will keep folks away in the L/L spot. However, here is the thing – Smyly, has given up a .303 ISO mark to LHB this season with a 51.8% hard contact rate and when you dig deeper into his pitch type you start to fall in love even more with the spot.

Smyly relies over 30% of the time on his curveball to lefties, the only real secondary offering he uses and it is one that left-handed batters have hit with power to the tune of a .240 ISO and average distance traveled of 347 feet. Meadows and Lowe specifically have elite batted ball profiles against this pitch type with Meadows sporting a .290 ISO while Lowe has a .200 ISO and team-high 50% hard contact rate.

The Rays are the road team, so we know we get a guaranteed 9 innings of at-bats and with Smyly’s penchant for hard contact and it being hot and humid in Atlanta today – the ball could fly as our Rays stack takes us to the top of the GPP leaderboard.

MLB DFS Picks and Pivots – The Wrap-Up

Looking at this MLB DFS Picks and Pivots slate, the pitching is where you need to start and frankly, it is where you have to get it right but I also think with so many good options, the ownership will largely be spread out and allow us to pick from a large player pool.

The flip side is with so many good arms is that there are far less stacks to build off of, so if all of a sudden we see chalky bats forming – that to me is where we pivot off and my hope is that the Rays go over-looked against an arm that is giving up tons of power in a hitter’s ballpark.
