10/5 DFS Two-Game Slate (DK & FD)

The games: Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees (5:07 p.m. EST) & Tampa Bay Rays at Houston Astros (9:07 p.m. EST)

SP Strategy

Starting the right combo of two pitchers could give you a 20-40 point lead over the wrong combo of two starters, and there’s some huge value plays on this slate.

SP1: Gerrit Cole, HOU vs. TB (DK $10,800, FD $12,200)

For the most dominant pitcher on the slate, you’ll be spending top dollar, though Cole (who struck out over 300 batters in 2019) is much more affordable on DK. With his K/9 upside, he’s got the easiest avenue to 25+ DK points.

SP1 pivot: Blake Snell (DK $7,500, FD $9,400)

It’s hard to trust Snell against this dynamic and powerful Astros lineup. They hit for contact and power and sport a 131 wRC+ against LHPs. He’s super risky even at this price and Astros hitters have had plenty of success against him. He’s also probably not going to go past 2-3 IP, given his short appearances in his previous three starts/opens.

SP2: Masahiro Tanaka, NYY vs. MIN (DK $6,400, FD $8,000)

Tanaka usually pitches well in big games, and he’s been areliable starter in the postseason for the Yankees the past several years (3-2,1.50 ERA/ 3.49 FIP, .162 BAA and 22.3 K%). I like that he’s carrying about a 4-to-1K/BB rate after the All-Star break, even if there’s a chance he gets blown up fora couple HRs early. That would be a disaster for us, but his pivot – devoid of playoffexperience and still a veritable neophyte at the big-league level, is evenriskier.

SP2 pivot: Randy Dobnak (DK $5,800, FD $5,500)

Dobnak’s regular season numbers look a bit like Tanaka’spostseason stats – so he’s worth a look. But the Yankees were having somepretty good at-bats last night and I’m just not too interested in a play thisrisky.

10/5 DFS SP1/2 Combo Breakdown:

Top 3:

  • Cole/Tanaka leaves $4,100 per hitter on DK (Preferred – mixing in value and stud bats)
  • Tanaka/Dobnak leaves $4,725 per hitter on DK (For an Astros full power stack and just a couple of the best Yanks/Twins bats)
  • Snell/Tanaka leaves $4,512 per hitter on DK (super risky but viable if Cole gets less than 20 points and Snell pitches 2-3 clean)

Bottom 3:

  • Cole/Dobnak leaves $4,175 per hitter on DK (The option if you want to fade Tanaka)
  • Snell/Dobnak leaves $4,587 per hitter on DK (Crazy talk)
  • Cole/Snell leaves $3.962 per hitter on DK (No thanks)

10/5 DFS Hitters

10/5 DFS C: Martin Maldonado, HOU (DK $2,900, FD $2,200)

If Maldonado gets the start, he’s probably the cheapest starting bat on the slate and makes perfect sense as a contrarian play the obvious options of Gary Sanchez and Travis d’Arnaud, who’s got four hits in four career AB (with a homer) against Gerrit Cole. Pivots: Sanchez for power upside, d’Arnaud for BvP fanatics.

10/5 DFS 1B: Edwin Encarnacion, NYY (DK $4,600, FD $3,800)

The most expensive 1B is still a bargain at this price, and he’s got multi-homer upside in Yankee Stadium. The Parrot walker has a 121 wRC+ against right-handers this season. Pivot: Yuri Gurriel (1B/3B) at just $4,200 on DK.

10/5 DFS 2B: Jose Altuve, HOU (DK $4,300, FD $4,100)

We’re still on track with our basic builds of Astros/Yankees and the price is depressed on DK. I’m not going to overthink this one, plugging in one of the best hitters of the past decade, postseason included. Pivot: Jonathan Schoop ($3,500 on DK) if he’s starting.

10/5 DFS 3B: D.J. LeMahieu, NYY (DK $4,500, FD $3,800)

The Yankees leadoff hitter connected last night and always give you a chance with his high contact rates and ability to punch one the other way. He drew some surprising comparisons to Derek Jeter in an eye-opening deep dive before he even played a game for the Yankees, and I’ve been a believer from day one. Pivot: Alex Bregman ($4,300 on FD), Gurriel on DK.

10/5 DFS SS: Alex Bregman, HOU (DK $4,800)

Bregman launched 41 homers this year in an MVP-type season, including six in his final 13 games. He’s exceptional against LHPs (205 wRC+ and .473 wOBA) and there’s no reason to leave him out of your builds. Pivot: Gleyber Torres ($4,000 on DK), Didi Gregorius ($3,200 on FD).

10/5 DFS OF: Brett Gardner, NYY ($DK $4,200, FD $2,900)

Opposing teams have been pitching the sluggers carefully this season, and guys like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton may only see a couple mashable pitches over multiple ABs. This has allowed Gardner to bulk up his power numbers (28 HRs and .253 ISO) this season and produce at unexpected levels. He’s inexpensive and will be chalky, but he’s a must-have in your lineup builds. Pivot: Jake Marisnick (DK $3,000, FD $2,300) – I’ll have some lineups with both Gardner and Marisnick so I can fit all these other big bats.

10/5 DFS OF: Giancarlo Stanton, NYY (DK $4,000, FD $3,800)

Getting Stanton at this price seems like highway robbery, and while he’s probably going to exit early for a pinch runner or defensive replacement, he can get a lot done in 2-3 ABs. Watching his ABs last night, he looks good and is going to make most of my GPP lineups. Pivot: Michael Brantley (DK $3,800, FD $3,500).

10/5 DFS OF: Max Kepler, MIN (DK $4,500, FD $3,400)

I need some Twins in here and I’m most interested in Kepler, who’s plate approach and batted ball data seems tailor-made for Yankee Stadium. He’s a pull hitter and Tanaka could easily serve up a dinger if he leaves one in Kepler’s wheelhouse. Pivot: Eddie Rosario (DK $4,500, FD $3,600).

This Saturday August 3rd slate is all about landing the right bats. Follow my studs 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.

MLB DFS Hitters: Home Run Hunting on the Main Slate

Catcher: Mitch Garver ($3,500 FD; $5,200 DK) is hitting .431 ISO/.500 wOBA vs lefties this year, which is only behind Nelson Cruz on the Twins. Danny Duffy (4.42 ERA) will be tossing to Garver on his home turf tonight. Garver certainly has the power (.629 SLG) to get his ninth home run in only his 75th AB against southpaws. Keep an eye on where he bats today. The closer to the top of the lineup he is, the more I like him in MLB DFS. He had admittedly been on a cold streak lately before busting out of it yesterday. Let’s hop on the beginning of another hot streak in Minnesota.

First Base Stud: Rhys Hoskins ($4,200 FD; $4,600 DK) I am going with some Phillies today. Hoskins also gets the pleasure of taking on Ross Detwiler. He is batting .307 ISO/ .454 wOBA vs left handed pitching this season. I usually hate stacking Phillies, but the matchup is too good to ignore today. Hoskins has a couple of long balls in his last four games and bats better at home. He has five more home runs at Citizens Bank Park this year with five less at bats than on the road.

Honorable Mention: Edwin Encarnacion

First Base Value: Albert Pujols ($2,900 FD; $4,300 DK) There is something about this man hitting value, and home runs, on the weekends. I know it is coincidence, but it just keeps happening. We are looking for cheap, under owned MLB DFS players with a high ceiling and Pujols fits the bill. Adam Plutko (4.83 ERA) is on the mound and he has given up 11 home runs in his last six home games this season. You do the math..

Second Base: Jose Altuve ($4,200 FD; $4,600 DK) goes against lefty Marco Gonzalez (.421 ERA) at home tonight. Altuve is on fire recently and bats .423 ISO/.540 wOBA vs lefties on the season. He has one game in his last six where he hasn’t scored double digit FanDuel points. Lock him in as a high floor, high ceiling bat.

Second Base Value: Austin Nola ($2,500 FD; $4,300 DK) is doing a lot with his newfound playing time recently. He bats .333/.489 SLG vs righties this season and the Mariners are starting to take notice. He had a goose egg last night but the two games before that he had three hits in each. At $2,500 I will go back to Nola expecting him to hit value, with potential to bust out. Aaron Sanchez (6.07 ERA) is on the bump in Houston and he absolutely gives it up all the time. Just go take a look at his season long game logs, it’s ugly.

Shortstop Stud: Marcus Semien ($3,400 FD; $4,300 DK) is batting leadoff for a team I like a lot today in the Oakland A’s. They face Dakota Hudson (3.88 ERA) who has given up 10 homers in his last seven appearances. Semien has 14 homers on the season and bats .156 ISO/.358 vs righties. Recently he has been a production machine and is always very low owned. Semien hasn’t put up a zero (in fantasy points) in his last 10 outings. He is going to get his, and no one will be on him.

Shortstop Mid: Jean Segura ($3,600 FD; $4,300 DK) is another Phillie I have my eye on. Hitting .336 ISO/.415 wOBA this season he is the best lefty hitter on his team, this year, if you are just looking at MLB DFS stats. Segura has nine hits in his last five games and a homer is coming soon. If the Phillies can’t take advantage of Detwiler (6.35 ERA) I may not roster them again this season.

Third Base Mid: Renato Nunez($3,200 FD; $4,700 DK) I still like how he is swinging the bat right now and no one ever plays him. In July he hit .304/.576 SLG and has been one of the Orioles key contributors. I don’t mind the bats surrounding him tonight (Mancini, Santander and Villar) either. Contrary to popular belief the Orioles can actually get it going some nights. He has 11 home runs on the season vs lefties and will be hitting vs one tonight. The pitcher Thomas Pannone has 5.98 ERA and has given up 10 runs in his last three starts. It probably won’t help him that Baltimore is a hitter’s park. Back to Nunez I go.

Third Base Value: Matt Thaiss ($2,500 FD; $4,100 DK) is a cheap bat with a lot of pop. He has four home runs in his last seven games. He hits .325 ISO/ .329 wOBA and has recently been contributing virtually every night. He is still very cheap for his skill set and makes a nice punt. The pitcher he faces, Adam Plutko, has given up 15 home runs in his last 10 games.

Third Base Honorable Mention: Matt Chapman

Outfield Stud: Nelson Cruz ($4,400 FD; $5,200 DK) vs. a lefty is really all you need know. He has 10 homers in 75 ABs and bats .440 ISO/.455 wOBA. Danny Duffy (L) is pitching for the Royals tonight and all this guy does is give up multiple run games. He should get an early shower tonight. Play Cruz and the Twins stack.

Outfield MidRange: Franmil Reyes ($2,900 FD; $4,000 DK) is new to Cleveland and still needs to show the Indians first hand why they traded for him. He has slugged 24 home runs this season vs righties with a .301 ISO/.371 wOBA and gets a nice pitching matchup today vs Felix Pena (R). In the entire season, Pena has only made it to six innings twice. Indians will put up some runs here.

Outfield Mid/Value: Phillip Ervin ($2,800 FD; $3,900 DK) has 17 hits in only 32 ABs with two home runs. He goes against the struggling Dallas Keuchel (R) in the hitter friendly SunTrust Park. Keuchel has 10 runs in his last 17 innings which is not what the Braves were hoping for when they acquired him. I don’t necessarily expect a Reds offensive explosion here, but Ervin at his price may be worth a MLB DFS stab. He is hitting .460 ISO/.649 wOBA.

Outfield Honorable Mention: Max Kepler

I primary used FanDuel when building optimal MLB DFS lineups.

An almost full 14-game MLB DFS slate for the last Tuesday in July.

Catcher

We will be talking about this game more in the stacking section below but Coors Field looks like a prime place for MLB DFS bats tonight. Especially on the Dodgers side, as Kyle Freeland takes the hill for the Rockies. Freeland has been historically bad this season, with a WHIP of 1.58 and an ERA of 7.00 through 71 innings. Will Smith ($3,300 FD, $4,500 DK) not only gets the platoon split but also gets the advantage of not being well known by opposing pitching staffs.

First Base

Edwin Encarnacion, Diamondbacks at Yankees ($4,300 FD, $5,300 DK) has been hitting the ball very hard recently. I saw him hit a single off the Green Monster so hard Sunday night that he was almost thrown out at first base. Seriously though, this matchup against Taylor Clarke is a great one. Clarke has given up 11 HRs over his last seven starts.

Win Daily offers several membership options including a free membership and Premium Gold. Both are available for different prices and lengths. Our most popular option is our Gold Monthly recurring subscription. You can also purchase a weekly or yearly subscription.

Second Base

Ryan McMahon, Dodgers at Rockies ($3,400 FD, $4,800 DK): McMahon, not Story, Arenado or Blackmon, has been swinging the best Rockies bat since the All-Star Break. Wait a minute, lefty on lefty matchup against Julio Urias doesn’t scare you in MLB DFS? Simply put it does not. McMahon has five HRs in less than 100 official ABs vs lefties this year and has a .780 OPS. His OPS against righties you ask? A remarkably similar .780.

If you already have a free registered membership, we suggest upgrading to our Premium Gold monthly membership plan for regular access to MLB Weather Reports.

Shortstop:

Let’s go back to Coors Field for Corey Seager ($3,600 FD, $5,100 DK). Yes I know it is another lefty-lefty matchup but let me ask you: how long do you expect Freeland to be around? Take the discount, especially on FD, and be thankful you get such a quality bat at a discount at Coors.

Third Base:

Eugenio Suarez, Pirates at Reds ($3,600 FD, $5,200 DK): Another guy I had to keep scrolling down for to find on FD (that means he is a bargain!), Suarez has been hitting everyone since the All-Star Break. He is thriving at home, which is an extreme hitter’s environment, and against Joe Musgrove and the weak Pittsburgh bullpen, he must be salivating. You should be too, in MLB DFS.

Outfield:

J.D. Martinez, Rays at Red Sox ($4,300 FD, $4,600 DK), Cody Bellinger. Dodgers at Rockies ($4,900 FD, $5,900 DK) and Joc Pederson ($4,100 and first base??? on FD, $5,100 DK) are the three outfielders I am highlighting. J.D. is about as hot as any hitter in MLB DFS right now and the other two are at Coors on the wrong side of a platoon. However, I do not expect that to last long and they can hit Freeland anyway.

MLB DFS Stacks

  1. Dodgers: At Coors against the worst pitcher on the slate? What can go wrong?
  2. Angels: Didn’t highlight any batters here but I certainly could have. Someone named Drew VerHagen gets to toss baseballs to them. And then is followed by a bad Tigesr bullpen.
  3. Yankees: Always in play. Tonight they get Taylor Clarke.

A nine-game split slate for MLB DFS on Thursday and one where weather will not cause any problems. There will be no problems for the Yankees, it seems.

Find out which hitters to use tonight on FanDuel with our Premium Gold Data Driven Projections.

Catcher

Roberto Perez, Indians at Royals ($2,700 FD, $3,500 DK): I love using this backstop against lefties but the park downgrade scares me a bit tonight. So maybe the long-ball potential isn’t overly high but the Indians should be able to string together some hits and get a few rallies going tonight.

First Base

Daniel Vogelbach, Tigers at Mariners ($3,500 FD, $4,200 DK): You can’t go wrong with a player who has hit multiple HRs in a game twice in over a week at that price. Especially against the Tigers pitching staff and particularly against today’s starting pitcher, Drew VerHagen.

Edwin Encarncion, Yankees at Red Sox ($4,300 FD, $5,400 DK) and Luke Voit ($3,600 FD, $4,800 DK): Both bats from a loaded Yankees lineup are in play in Fenway Park against Rick Porcello. Will traveling to Boston after a night game in Minnesota slow down the Bombers bats? Probably not but we will see what happens tonight.

Second Base

Gleyber Torres, Yankees at Red Sox ($3,700 FD, $4,700 DK): Torres has recovered from a slump. He has hit safely over his last three games with HRs in two of them. He is especially attractive if you want to use a Yankee stack and they blow up former Cy Young winner Rick Porcello.

Shortstop

Didi Gregorius, Yankees at Red Sox ($3,300 FD, $4,900 DK): Well I seem to be writing myself smack dab into using a Yankees stack tonight. Well who can blame me for doing that? Didi has recorded back-to-back games where he has accumulated eight hits, 3 runs scored, a homer, three doubles, a triple, 10 RBI and a walk. Wow, talk about a good DFS player the last two nights.

Third Base

Logan Forsythe, Rangers at Athletics ($2,500 FD, $4,100 DK): An affordable bat with pop who always plays against lefties, Forsythe has gone deep in two of his last five games. He has a decent chance of making it three out of six against mediocre lefty Brett Anderson.

Outfield

Let us go back to the Yankees here and red-hot Aaron Hicks ($3,800 FD, $5,000 DK). Like Didi, he has coming of consecutive great games with totals of four hits, two homers, four runs, four RBI and a walk. It is only a matter of time until Aaron Judge ($4,600 FD, $5,600 DK) joins in the long ball fun. Like the other Yankees mentioned, he certainly had a productive pair of games at Target Field combining for five hits, two doubles, two RBI and 3 runs scored.

My last outfielder will be a non-Yankee in Ramon Laureano ($3,100 FD, $4,900 DK). He is coming off a stretch where he reached double digits in DK fantasy points in 10 games on either side of the All-Star break. This had to be the quietest hot streak in all of MLB. I like using him as a late night one-off against a bad Rangers pitching staff led by starter Ariel Jurado.

Stacks

As you can tell in the write-up for batters, the Yankees are the #1 stack against a pitcher they have dominated recently in Rick Porcello. That guy must have nightmares of the beating the Bronx Bombers put on him in the Little League field they played on in London. Tom Eshelman of the Orioles has yet to produce a quality start in three tries this season. So that puts the Angels in play as a stack. The Nationals, going against a tired Rockies bullpen that has pitched a whole bunch of innings over the last week or so, could be in play on the early or all-game slate.

This report will provide recommended DFS stacks for today’s 14-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks.

**All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 5-6 PM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer to the postseason. Make sure you are watching the weather as well.

New York Yankees Stack

vs. LHP Kyle Freeland (COL): 6.90 Runs

I glared at the computer for awhile this morning trying to figure out how to get away from this Yankees chalk tonight and I can’t do it. Kyle Freeland is just downright terrible. He carries a 7.39 ERA, 6.13 FIP, and 5.18 SIERA on the season. He has allowed 43 earned runs across 53 innings to right-handed batters. Freeland is allowing a massive 2.27 HR/9 innings and 43% hard contact. Freeland is not at Coors, but he is in very hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have been slumping off just a bit coming off the break, but this team is jam packed with talent and it would be foolish to fade them. The Yankees are slashing to a .365 wOBA, .225 ISO, and 128 WRC+ over the last month. I’m typically an advocate against using the Yankees on most nights, but I feel confident using these right handed power bats this evening.

Preferred Plays: Aaron Judge ($4500 FD|$5300 DK), DJ Lemahieu ($3800 FD|$4700 DK), Gary Sanchez ($3900 FD|$4600 DK), and Luke Voit ($3800 FD|$4600 DK). Also consider: Gleyber Torres ($3400 FD|$4500 DK) and Edwin Encarnacion ($4100 FD|$5000 DK).

Cleveland Indians Stack

vs. LHP Mike Montgomery (KCR): 6.15 Runs

Mike Montgomery was a top prospect not long ago but has not had a good 2019 campaign. I doubt he’s stretched out all the way so he should be limited today. We have a small sample size to go off of here, but Montgomery carries a 5.67 ERA, 6.21 FIP, and 5.25 SIERA over 27 innings pitched this season. His splits indicate he struggles more with lefties. They are slashing to a .556 wOBA, .868 SLG, and .512 OBP. Montgomery is not much better against righties (thus far). They are slashing to a .336 wOBA, .464 SLG, and .338 OBP. Obviously these numbers are inflated due to limited action this season but most tend to go for the handedness matchup, so don’t be afraid to differentiate with some Cleveland lefties. Cleveland bats are red hot right now. They are slashing to a .369 wOBA, .255 ISO, and 128 WRC+ over the last couple of weeks.

Preferred Plays: Roberto Perez ($2800 FD|$4100 DK), Carlos Santana ($4300 FD|$4900 DK), Jordan Luplow ($2600 FD|$4100 DK), Francisco Lindor ($4100 FD|$5100 DK). Also consider: Oscar Mercado ($3300 FD|$4900 DK) and Tyler Naquin ($3000 FD|$4200 DK).

Toronto Blue Jays Stack

vs. RHP Jordan Zimmermann (DET): 5.90 Runs

Jordan Zimmermann heads into tonight’s matchup carrying a 7.01 ERA, 4.64 FIP, and 5.35 SIERA. That ERA is a little elevated compared to his FIP and SIERA. That is because of his .344 BABIP and a lowly 58% LOB. Some of it can be attributed to bad luck but he also has a poor defense behind him, so that will drive his ERA up whereas FIP measures things only the pitcher can control. Bats are slashing to a .350 wOBA, .508 SLG, and .348 OBP on the season against him. Zimmermann has allowed 41 earned runs across 52.2 innings pitched. He has only allowed seven home runs in that span. Blue Jays batters are slashing to a .351 wOBA, .234 ISO, and 120 WRC+ over the last month. They have seen a dip in their batting averages recently, but this is a good spot for Toronto to do some damage.

Preferred Plays: Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($4000 FD|$4900 DK), Eric Sogard ($3300 FD|$4300 DK), Freddy Galvis ($3200 FD|$3800 DK),Randal Grichuk ($3400 FD|$3700 DK), and Vlad Guerrero Jr. ($2900 FD|$3700 DK) Also consider: Justin Smoak ($3100 FD|$3700 DK) and Billy McKinney ($2400 FD|$3400 DK).

Honorable Mention

Boston Red Sox Stack

vs. LHP John Means (BAL): 6.00 Runs

Preferred Stack: Christian Vazquez ($2800 FD|$4700 DK), Xander Bogaerts ($4500 FD|$5700 DK), Rafael Devers ($4400 FD|$5400 DK), and J.D. Martinez ($4000 FD|$4700 DK).

Pitching

  1. RHP Jacob deGrom (NYM): 3.13 Runs
  2. LHP Hyun-jin Ryu (LAD): 2.45 Runs
  3. RHP Marcus Stroman (TOR): 4.20 Runs
  4. LHP Brendan McCay (TAM): 3.29 Runs

Wednesday’s MLB actionincludes some big-time offenses in great spots for DFS purposes. So below wehave four stacks to target as you assemble your Daily Fantasy Sports entries.

Sign up NOW forWIN DAILY Premium Gold right here!Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

New York Yankees

The New York Mets will be starting Jason Vargas on the bump in this one. Vargas is a guy that the Yankees should be able to get to. The right-hander has a 5.05 SIERA and a 5.09 xFIP while striking out just 20% of the batters he has faced in 2019. We will want to get some exposure in our DFS lineups.

So of course, we want to load up on some Yankees in our DFS lineups and our New York stack will start with Gary Sanchez (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings: $4,700). Sanchez has an ISO north of .300 versus left-handed pitching. Some other Yankee’s bats worth considering are: Edwin Encarnacion (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $4,300) and Gleyber Torres (FanDuel: $3,700 DraftKings: $4,600). Both have ISOs above .200 versus righties in 2019. And do not forget about Aaron Judge (FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $4,800) and D.J. LeMahieu (FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,200). Both of these Yankees have wOBAs greater than .400 against lefties in 2019.

Houston Astros

With the Astros having already hit 98 home runs against right-handed pitching this season, it is safe to say they have a really good chance of tacking a few more onto that total in this one. Not only are they playing in Coors Field, but the Rockies’ Peter Lambert is allowing 2.55 HR/9. Load up on the Astros in your DFS entries.

Lambert has really struggled at home this season. He is allowing a .478 wOBA and a 46% hard contact rate in Colorado in 2019. So feel free to stack any combination of Astros. But you will want to pay particular attention to the lefty bats in the Houston lineup. Lambert is allowing a .440/.444/1.040 slash line to lefties at home this season. With that in mind, we will want to start our DFS Astros’ build with Yordan Alvarez (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings: $5,500), if he is healthy enough to get back in the lineup. The Houston slugger has a .400 ISO and a .424 wOBA against righties this season.

Colorado Rockies

Any time the Rockies’ offense is opposed by a lefty, they have to be considered for DFS stacking purposes. Against left-handed pitching this season, Colorado has been very successful. As a team, they have a .200 ISO and a .340 wOBA against left-handed pitching. And when they get to face a left-hander in the thin air of Colorado they are a no-brainer DFS stacking option.

So, your Colorado DFS building blocks should include the likes of: Ian Desmond (FanDuel: $3,300 DraftKings: $4,500), Nolan Arenado (FanDuel: $4,600 DraftKings: $5,300), Charlie Blackmon (FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,800) and David Dahl (FanDuel: $3,900 DraftKings: $5,200). All four of these Rockies’ batters have accumulated at least a .230 ISO versus left-handed pitching.

Boston Red Sox

You are going to want to pick on Toronto’s Sean Reid-Foley in your DFS lineups on Wednesday. Reid-has a 5.75 SIERA and a 6.46 xFIP as well as a low 9.9% swing strike rate. The Blue Jays’ starter is not missing many bats.

We want to build our Boston’ DFS stack starting with the usual suspects: Mookie Betts (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $4,400), Rafael Devers (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $4,700) and Xander Bogaerts (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings: $4,600). These three batters have ISOs greater than .200 against right-handed pitching.

Washington Nationals

In 65 career at-bats against the Marlins’ Sandy Alcantara, the Nationals’ current roster has a .369/.431/.706 slash line. In particular Anthony Rendon (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings: $5,500) and Juan Soto (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings: $5,000) have been excellent against the Miami starter. Combined, the players are 9-for-23 with three home runs and eight RBIs against Alcantara and are excellent DFS building blocks for Wednesday.

Catcher  

Gary Sanchez, TOR vs. NYY

DK ($5,600)   FD ($4,400) 

Well you are going to have to pay up for to “unleash the Kraken” today but it is difficult to argue that it won’t be worth it. The whole Yankee lineup is in play as the face a bad left-handed starter in Clayton Richard. For the season, Richard has given up five HRs in 25.1 innings with 29 hits and 21 earned runs allowed. Do me a favor please: if you are going to the Bronx to watch baseball tonight and have seats in the left-field bleachers, bring a glove.  

First Base  

Edwin Encarncion/Luke Voit, TOR at NYY

DK ($5,200)   FD ($4,000)  and DK ($4,800) ($3,700)

As you may or may not know, I am a die-hard Red Sox fan. I was born and raised (and lived the first 33 years of my life) in a small central Massachusetts town. One of the most memorable nights of my life was a certain October evening in 2004. Why am I saying this? Because I have to hand it to the Yankees. This lineup they have assembled maybe the best of recent MLB history. So deep and powerful, especially against lefties. So, it is tough to pick just one of this duo tonight against Clayton Richard.

Second Base  

Hanser Alberto, SD at BAL

DK ($3,400)   FD ($2,500) 

We are going to need to get some savings so why not get a guy who will likely be batting leadoff in an extreme hitter’s park? Against lefties, and the Padres are throwing out a southpaw in rookie Logan Allen, Alberto has been incredible. 41 hits in only 101 official ABs, that is over .400 folks!!, with 11 runs scored, 11 RBI and two stolen bases. Pair him with another Oriole like Mancini or Nunez and pocket the savings.

Third Base 

Renato Nunez, SD at BAL

DK ($3,700)   FD ($2,600) 

This is strange as Nunez is listed as a first baseman on DK. Having him with third baseman eligibility like he has on FD would have been very nice! Anyways, this guy is a lefty masher in 2019. He has eight HRs in exactly 100 official ABs against lefties this season. He will most likely be slotted into the cleanup spot. Did I mention that Oriole Park at Camden Yards is an extreme hitter’s park?

Shortstop 

Manny Machado/Fernando Tatis Jr., SD at BAL

DK ($5,500)   FD ($3,900)  DK($5,700) FD($3,800)

Let us stay in the comfy confines of Camden Yards. The Orioles pitching staff is historically bad, giving up by far the most HRs in all of MLB this year. Again, position eligibility weirdness caused me to both of these Padre righties in this column. On DK, both of these players are eligible at SS. On FD, Machado is a third baseman. In either case, these players are in smash spots today, with the Orioles planning to use Jimmy Yacobonis (who has a 4.70 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the season) and then possibly going with lefty bullpen arm Josh Rodgers (8.25 ERA and 1.50 WHIP) as the primary pitcher. I do not know about you, but to me this sounds like a potential disaster for Baltimore.

Outfield 

Ronald Acuna Jr, ATL at CHC 

DK ($5,000)   FD ($4,200) 

Acuna’s price went down by $100 on FD while going up by $200 on DK. What is the icons to give me a shrugging shoulders? Wrigley Field, though mildly disappointing last night, will see similar weather with a nice breeze blowing out to right. This should give lefty bats and right-handed bats with opposite field power a boost. The latter description screams Javier Baez but in reality Acuna Jr. should not be far behind when it comes to that.

Giancarlo Stanton, TOR at NYY

DK ($4,600)   FD ($4,200) 

Stanton hit his first HR of 2019 last night. With all this mashing that the Yankees have done this season, let that sink in. If Judge and Stanton get it going…watch out. Anyways, Stanton against a struggling lefty, yes please.  

Aaron Judge, TOR at NYY

DK ($4,700)   FD ($4,300) 

Stanton hit his first HR last night….Judge gets his first one since returning from injury tonight.

Monkey Knife Fight Picks of the Day 

Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Giancarlo Stanton Over 12.5 Total Bases

Let’s go for broke tonight and a big prize. I like two, if not all three, players to hit a HR tonight.

All 30 teams played on Sunday June 10. All prices and point values are from DraftKings.

Winners

BrandonLowe ($4,300)

Brandon Lowe feasted on the BostonRed Sox yesterday at the dish, going 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs, threeRBI, and he crossed the plate three times. He upped his average to .288 and nowhas a team-high 13 home runs. Yesterday was his first multi-homer game sinceApril 12 against the Blue Jays.

Lowe’sOutlook

Lowe has been on fire this pastweek, posting a .357 (10-for-28) batting average in his past seven games withtwo homers and six RBI. Lowe and the rest of the Rays head home to face offagainst the Oakland Athletics tonight. They will be facing Tanner Anderson, whohas posted a 6.26 ERA in 11 games in Triple-A this season. Look for Lowe tocontinue driving the ball and potentially get a couple of extra base hits.

EdwinEncarnacion ($4,800)

Edwin Encarnacion has been making itlook like he’s in the HR Derby the past couple of weeks with his production andyesterday was no different. Against Jose Suarez and the rest of the Angels’pitching staff, he went 2-for-5 with both hits leaving the yard. He alsotallied three RBI and a couple of runs scored.

Encarnacion’sOutlook

Encarnacion has been hitting homeruns like crazy this year, now with 20. He also now has 400 career HRs. He isputting up the power numbers in bunches, hitting seven home runs in the past 15games played. Encarnacion and the Mariners travel to Minnesota to take on theTwins on Tuesday night. Martin Perez is a solid candidate to have a bounce-backstart, so fade Encarnacion on Tuesday’s slate.

NoahSyndergaard ($8,900)

Syndergaard proved his worth. Hefaced a solid Colorado Rockies lineup and went seven scoreless and only allowedone hit, two walks and seven strikeouts while picking up his fourth win of theseason. He has performed well in his last three starts and is proving to be avaluable asset for DFS players.

Syndergaard’sOutlook

Syndergaard has been phenomenal thepast six weeks outside of the start against the Detroit Tigers on May 24. He isproviding length at 6.1 innings per start and just over one home run allowedper nine innings. His next scheduled start is Saturday at home against the St.Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are posting a .735 OPS, which is 19th inbaseball, so expect Syndergaard to not have much trouble in his next matchup.

Losers

ShaneBieber ($10,200)

Bieber did not provide the outingrequired against the New York Yankees. He went 1.2 innings and gave up fiveruns on five hits. He also had four strikeouts with two walks and gave up ahome run. After getting the first two outs in the second, he allowed the nexteight Yankees to reach base safely before being pulled. Expect Bieber to have abounce-back outing in his next start.

Bieber’sOutlook

Coming into the game yesterday, Bieberhad been the Indians’ most productive starting pitcher this season. However, hedid not provide length, and with one of the largest prices on the slate, hefailed provide value. The Yankees work the count and get on base at a .330clip. Bieber’s next outing is slated for next Sunday on the road against theDetroit Tigers, the second-worst hitting team in the AL. Look for Bieber toredeem himself the next time around.

CodyBellinger ($5,600)

Bellinger did not look good againstMadison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants yesterday. He went hitless infour at-bats with two of them ending in strike three. Bellinger is in the midstof a severe cold streak and is capable of breaking out in any game. However,with the price tag he carries, avoid Bellinger until he begins to hit again.

Bellinger’sOutlook

Bellinger is not hitting right now,even with a .355 batting average on the season. In his last seven games, he is4-for-25 (.160 average) with eight strikeouts. He finished the three-game setagainst the Giants 0-for-9 with three walks. The Dodgers have an interleaguematchup against the Angels beginning tonight and maybe a day off to gatherhimself would benefit Bellinger the most.

InjuryUpdate

Jason Kipnis left the game in the top of the sixth inning with right hiptightness.

The New York Yankees placed DomingoGerman on the 10-day Injured List with a left hip flexor strain retroactiveto June 8.

The Chicago White Sox placed DylanCovey on the 10-day Injured List with right shoulder inflammationretroactive to June 6.

All 30 teams played on Sunday June 10. Some players overplayed their values while others struggled. All prices and point values are from DraftKings.

Winners

Brandon Lowe ($4,300)

Brandon Lowe feasted on the Boston Red Sox yesterday at the dish, going 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs, three RBI and three times crossing home plate. He upped his average on the season to .288 and now has a team-high 13 home runs. Yesterday was his first multi-homer game since April 12 against the Blue Jays.

Lowe’s Outlook

Lowe has been on fire this past week, posting a .357 (10-for-28) batting average in his past seven games with two homers and six RBI. Lowe and the rest of the Rays head home to face off against the Oakland Athletics tonight. They will be facing Tanner Anderson, who has posted a 6.26 ERA in 11 games in Triple-A this season. Look for Lowe to continue driving the ball and potentially get a couple of extra base hits.

Edwin Encarncion ($4,800)

Edwin Encarncion has been making it look like he’s in the HR Derby the past couple of weeks with his production and yesterday was no different. Against Jose Suarez and the rest of the Angels’ pitching staff, he went 2-for-5 with both hits leaving the yard. He also tallied three RBI and a couple of runs scored on the day.

Encarncion’s Outlook

Encarncion has been hitting home runs like crazy this year, now having 20 on the season. He also now has 400 career HR, which in itself is impressive. He is putting up the power numbers in bunches, hitting seven home runs in the past 15 games played. Encarncion and the Mariners travel to Minnesota to take on the Twins on Tuesday night. Martin Perez is a solid candidate to have a bounce-back start, so fade Encarncion on Tuesday’s slate.

Noah Syndergaard ($8,900)

Even with the hefty price tag attached, Syndergaard proved his worth. He faced a solid Colorado Rockies lineup and went seven scoreless and only allowed one hit, two walks and seven strikeouts on the day while picking up his fourth win on the season. He performed well in his last three starts and is proving to be a valuable asset for DFS players looking for a pitcher.

Syndergaard’s Outlook

Syndergaard has been phenomenal the past six weeks outside of the start against the Detroit Tigers on May 24. He is providing length in 6.1 innings per start and just over one home run allowed per nine innings. His next scheduled start is Saturday at home against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are posting a .735 OPS, which is 19th in baseball so expect Syndergaard to not have too much trouble against the Cards in his next matchup.

Losers

Shane Bieber ($10,200)

Bieber did not provide the outing required for the Cleveland Indians yesterday against the New York Yankees. He went 1.2 innings and gave up five runs on five hits. He also had four strikeouts with two walks and gave up a home run. After getting the first two outs in the second, he allowed the next eight Yankees to reach base safely before being pulled. Expect Bieber to have a bounce-back outing in his next start.

Bieber’s Outlook

Coming into the game yesterday, Shane Bieber has been the Indians’ most productive starting pitcher this season. However, he did not provide length and with one of the largest prices on the slate, he failed provide value. The Yankees work the count and get on base at a .330 clip. Bieber’s next outing is slated for next Sunday on the road against the Detroit Tigers, the second-worst hitting team in the AL. Look for Bieber to redeem himself the next time around.

Cody Bellinger ($5,600)

Bellinger did not look good against Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants yesterday. He finished going hitless in four at-bats with two of them ending in strike three. Bellinger is in the midst of a severe cold streak and is capable of breaking out any game. However, with the price tag he carries, avoid Bellinger until he begins to hit once again.

Bellinger’s Outlook

Cody Bellinger is not hitting right now, even with a .355 batting average on the season. In his last seven games, he is 4-for-25 (.160 average) with eight strikeouts. He finished the three-game set against the Giants going 0-for-9 with three walks. The Dodgers have an interleague matchup against the Angels beginning tomorrow and maybe a day off to gather himself would benefit Bellinger the most.

Injury Update

Jason Kipnis left the game in the top of the sixth inning with right hip tightness.

The New York Yankees placed Domingo German on the 10-day Injured List with a left hip flexor strain retroactive to June 8.

The Chicago White Sox placed Dylan Covey on the 10-day Injured List with right shoulder inflammation retroactive to June 6.

Catcher

Gary Sanchez ($4,300 FD & $5,400 DK): Right-handed power batters typically fare well in the Rogers Centre. I don’t know what it is about the stadium because it’s a dome, so there are no environmental factors but year after year right-handed power bats kill at the Rogers Centre. The Yankees are also favored at – 185 with a 9 under/over. Sanchez should be a solid part of this offensive effort as they’ll be facing the left-handed Clayton Richard. Richard has started only twice so far this season and has yet to make it past the fifth inning. Toronto’s bullpen is sporting a 4.21 season ERA, which is ranked 12th in the Majors. But you have to remember, the Blue Jays are in the midst of a six game losing streak and have an extremely depleted bullpen. The Yankees catcher is slightly pricey but 100% worth it tonight.

First Base

Edwin Encarnacion ($3,700 FD & $4,100 DK): Encarnacion owns a .389 BA with three homers against Wade Miley. Although I do think Miley tosses a solid game, I also think Encarnacion continues his success against Houston’s left-hander.

Second Base

Whit Merrifield ($3,800 FD & $4,700 DK): Every one likes going against E-Rod today and for good reason. Kansas City has been striking out at a massive rate and on top of that producing minimal runs over a two week span. This has occurred in K.C. before, and they usually have a go-to remedy. That remedy is small ball. Merrifield is likely the man to benefit off some solid Kansas City small ball. Stolen Bases, Runs, maybe even an RBI off of a well executed hit and run. Don’t expect the long ball but there are still fantasy points to be had. Merrifield is currently 5-6 against E-Rod with one stolen base.

Third Base

Kris Bryant ($4,200 FD & $5,200 DK): Bryant has two homers in seven at-bats against Jeff Hoffman. The Cubs are at -200 with a 10.5 under/over. Hoffman is currently allowing a .375 BA with two homers to opposing right-handed batters in 32 at-bats. Kris Bryant? Lock him in please.

Shortstop

Corey Seager ($3,500 FD & $4,700 DK): The Los Angeles Dodger left-handed batters: I love all of them. Joc, Muncy, Bellinger etc. I don’t know where to start. How about the fact that opposing pitcher Taylor Clarke has a 7.56 ERA over his past two starts, or that opposing lefties are hitting .297 with two dingers in 37 at-bats. How about this one: In his last start he allowed five earned over two innings pitched to the Colorado Rockies. Corey Seager and the Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed batters, one of my most confident plays of the day.

Outfield

Cody Bellinger ($4,600 FD & $5,800 DK):

Everything that I mentioned for Corey Seager applies to Cody Bellinger. Except there is one more advantage for Bellinger which is, he is expected to be in that cleanup spot. This could be huge for potential RBI opportunities. Los Angeles is favored at -220 with a 9.5 under/over.

Joc Pederson ($3,800 FD & $5,600 DK): Do I have to say all of this again. I’ll add one prediction here, leadoff home run for Joc Pederson. Los Angeles left-handed batters, love them tonight.

David Dahl ($3,500 FD & $4,300 DK): has two home runs in six at-bats against Kyle Hendricks. Similar to the Edwin call, I do think Hendricks performs well tonight. With that said, Dahl could hit another home run against Hendricks on a long ball kind of day in Chicago.

JaguarDFS Monkey Knife Fight Pick of the Day

Let’s go big or go home! I’ve made it pretty clear that I like Wade Miley tonight, with Seattle striking out the way they have over the past week. We’re going to be locking the OVER in for the first section. The next prop including Encarnacion is easy to me, 1.5 runs + RBI should definitely be OVER as well.

Encarnacion is batting .389 with three homers in 25 at-bats against Miley. For the third and fourth picks including Bregman and Brantley, I will be updating this article when the confirmed pitcher is announced for Seattle. With that said, the last pick including Mallex Smith, is an easy UNDER for me. Mallex should be going L/L for most of the game and if he’s not leading off, this prop is a definite under to me. Smith is currently batting .220 against lefties and is even worse against right-handed pitchers with a .186 BA. Three of these five plays are easily locked in for me, Play MLB Prop Games NOW and get 100 percent bonus.

Seattle will be starting Andrew Moore, and by every indication he is NOT ready for this start. In Triple-A this season he was rocking a 12.98 ERA in four starts. Prior, he allowed massive number in limited starts in Double-A. Not quite sure what they see here but we are going to take the over on both the Brantley and Bregman props. So, to be clear from left to right; Over, over, over, over and Mallex Smith’s parlay I predict the under.
