Milwaukee Brewers

The Mariners will be starting Mike Leake on the bump in this one. Leake is allowing 1.96 HR/9 this season. With the Brewers having already hit 93 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. We can attack Leake from either side of the plate today. He is allowing a .342 wOBA to lefties and 2.42 HR/9 to righties.

So ofcourse, we want to load up on some Brewers and our Milwaukee stack will startwith Christian Yelich (FanDuel: $4,800 DraftKings: $5,800). Yelich has a .417ISO versus right-handed pitching Some other Brewers’ bats worth considering are:Mike Moustakas (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $4,800), Yasmani Grandal (FanDuel:$3,500 DraftKings: $4,700). Both bats have ISOs above .200 versus righties in2019. And do not forget about Ryan Braun (FanDuel: $3,000 DraftKings: $4,400). Theoutfielder has a 1.043 OPS over his last seven games. If you need to get acheaper bat, Eric Thames (FanDuel: $2,500 DraftKings: $4,300) is your guy.

Houston Astros

Afterdisappointing the Win Daily Family on Wednesday, we are going to go right backto the Astros’ stack today. The Pirates’ Joe Musgrove is a guy that Houstonshould be able to get to. The right-hander has a 4.61 SIERA and a 4.67 xFIP whilestriking out just 19% of the batters he has faced in 2019. Houston has had alot of success against righties this season as the offense has a .334 wOBA anda 113 wRC+ against the handness.

Musgrove strugglesparticularly against left-handed bats. He is allowing a .346 wOBA and a 40.4%hard contact rate to lefties in 2019. With that in mind, we will want to startour Astros’ build with Yordan Alvarez (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $5,100). TheHouston slugger has a .450 ISO and a .472 wOBA against righties this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Any time the Dodgers’ offense is opposed by a righty, they have to be considered for stacking purposes. Against right-handed pitching this season, Los Angeles has been very successful. As a team they have a .210 ISO and a .344 wOBA against right-handed pitching. And when they get to face a right-hander in the thin air of Colorado they are a no-brainer stacking option.

The Dodgers’stack needs to be all about the left-handed bats to start. The Rockies’ PeterLambert is allowing a .408 wOBA to lefties this season as well as a 2.35 HR/9. This is likely due to his 58.3% hard contactrate allowed to left-handed batters in 2019.

So your L.A. building blocks would include the likes of: Joc Pederson (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $5,400), Cody Bellinger (FanDuel: $5,000 DraftKings: $5,900) and Max Muncy (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,600). All three of these Dodgers’ left-handed batters have accumulated at least a .240 ISO versus right-handed pitching.

Los Angeles Angels

You are going to want to pick on Oakland’s Tanner Anderson on Thursday. Anderson is allowing a 46.8% hard contact rate this season as well as a low 7.7% swing strike rate. The Athletics’ starter is not missing many bats. And maybe the best thing about Anderson is that he is very predictable. He throws his sinker on 62% of his pitches.

With that inmind we want to build our Angels’ DFS stack starting with Mike Trout (FanDuel:$4,700 DraftKings: $5,800). The outfielder has a .341 batting average againstthe sinker this season. Shohei Ohtani (FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,700)should also be a piece to your Angels’ puzzle. He has a .500 ISO against thesinker in 2019. And don’t forget about Tommy La Stella (FanDuel: $3,200DraftKings: $4,400). The infielder has a .419 batting average against thesinker this season.

6/25 MLB DFS Podcast With Jason Mezrahi & Matt Striker

Jason Mezrahi 6 years ago

written by Jason Mezrahi

DFS PROS Jason Mezrahi and Matt Striker are featured in the 6/25 MLB DFS Podcast. Listen to get caught up on who they are planning to play tonight. They break down the large 15-game slate and Matt tries to explain how he feels about the New York Mets.

Is Max Worth Top Dollar?

The first decision you have to make on this slate is to pay up for the top end pitching or not. Max Scherzer and Gerrit Cole are the clear-cut aces, but you will have to pay to play. There are value guys but they each garner some risk. Madison Bumgarner, Robbie Ray, Jack Flaherty, Chris Bassitt, and Andrew Heaney can present some value. They all make sense if you can stomach putting your money at risk. Is it worth it when you know Mad Max is staring you down with two different colored eyes? So listen closely to the 6/25 MLB DFS Podcast to find the hidden gems on the Daily Fantasy Baseball Slate.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 6/6: Trucking on Hess

Wes Anderson 6 years ago

written by Wes Anderson

New York Yankees

In his last two starts, the Blue Jays’ Edwin Jackson has combined to score -14 FanDuel points. And his season as a whole has not been any better. He has a slate high 5.22 SIERRA and a 5.62 xFIP. Jackson is not missing many bats as evidenced by his lowly 18.92% whiff rate. Mix in his 46.2% hard contact rate and you should not be surprised to see that he is allowing 3.31 HR/9. Then when you consider the fact that the Yankees have a .203 ISO versus right-handed pitching and it is easy to see why the Pinstripes will be the chalk stack on Thursday.

Of course, the Yankees’ stack will start with Gary Sanchez(FanDuel: $4,500, DraftKings: $5,500). The power hitting catcher has a .405 ISOand a .415 wOBA versus right-handed pitching this season. Gleyber Torres (FanDuel:$3,900, DraftKings: $4,600), Luke Voit (FanDuel: $4,300, DraftKings: $4,900),Clint Frazier (FanDuel: $3,700, DraftKings: $4,500) and Brett Gardner (FanDuel:$3,200, DraftKings: $4,100) all have ISOs above .200 against right-handedpitching this season.

Texas Rangers

The Rangers’ offense gets the call today as they face the Orioles’ David Hess. The Baltimore starter is struggling this season. He has a 7.36 ERA, 5.22 SIERA, and a 5.62 xFIP. Hess also has a low 19.4% K rate and is allowing a 40.7% hard contact rate. To make this an even easier call, Hess is throwing a fastball on more than 50% of his pitches this season. None of this should prevent the Rangers to continue to mash right-handed pitching. The Texas’ offense has a .207 ISO against righties in 2019.

Whenconstructing your Rangers’ stack, focus first on the right-handed batters.Baltimore’s Hess has allowed a .422 wOBA and 4.24 HR/9 to right-handed battersthis season. So, narrow your search down to Hunter Pence (FanDuel: $4,200,DraftKings: $5,600). The outfielder has a .286 ISO and a .383 wOBA versusright-handed pitching. He also owns a .292 ISO versus four-seam fastballs, apitch that Hess throws more than 50% of the time. If going for a two-man stack,Logan Forsythe (FanDuel: $3,300, DraftKings: $4,500) could be that guy. He hasa .383 wOBA and 135 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season to go alongwith a .320 batting average versus the fastball.

If lookingto go deeper with your Rangers’ stack, Shin-Soo Choo (FanDuel: $4,000,DraftKings: $5,500) is certainly in play despite being left-handed. Not only doeshe rack against righties with a 1.005 OPS and a .417 wOBA, Choo also crushedthe fastball. The outfielder has a .651 SLG and a .289 ISO against the pitch in2019.

Houston Astros

Every timethe opposition sends a southpaw out to the mound to against the Astros, thereshould be interest in stacking Houston bats. The Astros’ offense has a .218 ISOand just a 18.4% K% against lefties this season.

While theMariners’ Tommy Milone has been solid this year, the Astros should stillcontinue to swing big sticks against the lefties here.

The Houston stack needs to start with Alex Bregman (FanDuel: $4,500). The third baseman has a .246 ISO versus left-handed-handed pitching in 2019. After Bregman, your next best Astros’ bats are Jake Marisnick (FanDuel: $2,700) and Josh Reddick (FanDuel: $3,100). Both outfielders have ISOs in the .200s against lefties this season.

UPDATE:

Miami Marlins

While the Marlins will not be confused for the 1927 Yankees, the offense has been better of late. Over the last seven days, they have a .288 batting average and a .342 wOBA. Now throw in the fact that they are facing the Milwaukee Brewers’ Freddy Peralta. The Milwaukee starter is a one-pitch pitcher that gets hard (41.4% hard contact rate) and gives up flyballs (51.4% flyball rate). Peralta throws his fastball over 75% of the time.

You willwant to target Marlins’ bats that do well against the fastball. Austin Dean hasa .357 batting average and a .286 ISO against the pitch. Josh Riddle has a .239ISO versus the fastball in 2019. Josh Alfaro owns a .325 batting average and a.525 ISO against the pitch. In addition to their likely success against Peralta,this little 7-8-1 stack will provide you with some salary relief to pay upelsewhere.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 5/22 – Ride with Rangers

Marshall Rosen 6 years ago

written by Marshall Rosen

Here are thetop teams to stack for MLB’s May 22^nd action:

Seattle Mariners

The Texas Rangers’ Adrian Sampson is the perfect stacking target on Wednesday as he is due to come in after Jesse Chavez, who only helps make this stack formidable. Sampson has a 4.79 ERA this season as well as a 5.18 SIERA. Sampson also is getting hit extremely hard, as he has a 47.2% hard contact rate in 2019. The Seattle offense will take advantage of these opportunities, as the Mariners have a team ISO of .229 against righties this season.

As you construct your Seattle stacks, look to begin with the right-handed bats of the Mariners. Sampson has allowed a .343 batting average, .428 wOBA and 2.22 HR/9 to right-handed hitters this season. Edwin Encarnacion (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $5,300), Mitch Haniger (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $5,300), Ryan Healy (FanDuel: $2,800 DraftKings: $3,700) and Tim Beckham (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $4,000), are all right-handed batters that have excelled against right-handed pitching this season. Each of these hitters have ISO’s over .200 in those type of matchups.

And while heis not a right-handed batter, Daniel Vogelbach (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $5,500),has to make your list of Mariners. He has a .410 ISO and .458 wOBA againstrighties in 2019, while Sampson is allowing a 50.9% hard contact rate tolefties this season.

Texas Rangers

Seattle will be starting Marco Gonzales. The southpaw has a put up decent numbers in 2019 but has a 4.99 xFIP, meaning regression is on its way. Look for that move back to mean to begin tonight. The Rangers put up big power numbers against left-handed pitching.

Piece thatRangers’ stack together with the left mashers: Joey Gallo (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings:$5,600), Nomar Mazara (FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,100), Hunter Pence (FanDuel:$3,900 DraftKings: $5,400) and Danny Santana (FanDuel: $3,700 DraftKings: $5,200).

New York Yankees

Whenever the Baltimore Orioles push Dan Straily to the bump, we are going to be interested in attacking the right-hander with stacks. And today is no different, especially with the Yankees being Straily’s opponent. The New York offense has produced the sixth-highest ISO against right-handed pitching this season. That should play well against Straily, who owns a 6.42 SIERA, 7.24xFIP and 2.93 HR/9 this season, all of which are the highest of any pitcher scheduled to start today.

When building your Pinstripes stack, feel free to use any and all Yankees regardless of which side of the plate they bat from. Straily has been bad against both righties and lefties this season. Against left-handed batters he is allowing a .384 wOBA and a 2.3 HR/9. And versus righties he is allowing a .394/.419/.732 slash line.

Just be sure not to leave Gary Sanchez (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings:$5,500) off any of your Yankee builds. The New York slugger is raking againstrighties this season. He owns a .381 ISO and a .413 wOBA against them. You are probablygoing to want some combination of Gleyber Torres (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $5,300),Brett Gardner (FanDuel: $3,000 DraftKings: $4,800), Luke Voit (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings:$5,300) and Clint Frazier (FanDuel: $3,400 DraftKings: $4,300) as well. Each ofthose four Yankees’ hitters have .200-plus ISOs against right-handed pitchingin 2019.

Houston Astros

The Astroshave crushed right-handed pitching all season long. They have a .220 ISO, .355wOBA and a 127 wRC+ against them. With the White Sox starting Ivan Nova in thisone, you have to believe they keep smashing, so load up on the Astros.

As you loadup on them, feel free to picks batters from either side of the plate. Nova isallowing a .435 wOBA to lefties and a .365 wOBA to righties in 2019.

The Astros’stack should begin with the usual suspects. Alex Bregman (FanDuel: $4,300DraftKings: $5,500), George Springer (FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,900) if heis in the lineup and Michael Brantley (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $5,200). Each of these three sluggers have an OPSgreater than 1.010 against right-handed pitching.

You willalso want to target Robinson Chirinos (FanDuel: $3,000 DraftKings: $4,400),Jake Marisnick (FanDuel: $2,400 DraftKings: $4,900), Carlos Correa (FanDuel: $4,100DraftKings: $5,200) and Aledmys Diaz (FanDuel: $3,300 DraftKings: $4,500).These four Astros all have ISOs greater than .200 against righties in 2019.

Minnesota Twins

The Twinshave been red hot over the last week. In the last seven days the Minnesotaoffense has a .307 batting average and a .230 team ISO. With the Twins facing theAngels’ Matt Harvey tonight, there is no reason to believe the Twins’ bats cooltonight.

Harvey ownsa 5.07 SIERA and has a below league average 17% K rate. You want to attack theAngels’ starter with left-handed bats. Harvey is allowing a .395 wOBA, 1.89HR/9 and a 55.9% hard contact versus lefty batters in 2019.

So, as youbuild your Twins’ stack you are looking at guys like Jason Castro (FanDuel: $3,200DraftKings: $4,100), Jorge Polanco (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings: $4,700), MaxKepler (FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,100) and Eddie Rosario (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings:$4,600). The Twinkies’ lefty foursome all have ISOs of at least .243 against right-handedpitching this season.

Good luckand happy stacking!

A Through Z 2019 MLB Season Preview

A Through Z 2019 MLB Season Preview – Written by Adam Zibuda

The 2019 MLB season has technically already started, with two games between the Mariners and Athletics taking place in Japan, where the Mariners got their season started off to a nice undefeated 2-0. Opening day however, is now just under a week away and we will see the first pitch thrown on the mainland on Thursday March 28th. To say that the MLB DFS industry is buzzing would be an understatement as the sites are gearing up to one of the biggest MLB seasons ever due to the legalization of sports betting taking place across the states.

There has been no shortage of massive free agent contracts this MLB offseason, with Mike Trout taking the cake with his absurd $430M deal for 12 years with the Angels. Bryce Harper joined in on the fun as well, signing with the Phillies for a lengthy 13-year deal worth $330M. Marwin Gonzalez also signed with the Minnesota Twins for 2 years and $21M while Manny Machado joined the elite contract ranks with his 10 year $300M signing, albeit with the lowly Padres who do not project to be much better in 2019.

The Boston Red Sox are bringing back most of their roster from their 2018 championship run, and should be contenders when October rolls around. The Atlanta Braves are a young and talented team, but might not have enough of a well-rounded roster to really compete when it counts. A couple of other teams that I am excited to watch in 2019 are the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Astros have the bats and the pitching to get it done, which is tough to do in MLB today as plenty of teams have secured the bats but really lack the arm talent to compete down the stretch. The Astros will almost definitely be playing in October this season. The Dodgers got shown up by Boston in the World Series last year, but they will come back hungry this season and look to return to baseball’s biggest stage. The Brewers do not get nearly the press and attention as the Sox, Astros, and Dodgers, but they are a sneaky team that has some serious potential this year. They have depth at nearly every position, along with the talent to potentially dominate their NL Central opponents.

With quite the eventful offseason, the 2019 MLB season is shaping up to live up to all of the hype, and the DFS industry will flourish right alongside.
