9/16 MLB DFS Winner: Anibal Sanchez

Anibal Sanchez was able to provide value for any DFS player that added him as their pitcher. Against the division-rival Atlanta Braves, Sanchez went seven shutout innings while only allowing three hits and a walk. He also added three strikeouts.

Outlook for the rest of the season: Sanchez could get postseason starts depending on how the Nationals want to line up their rotation and if they could advance out of the Wild Card round. More of a question mark is his 1.29 WHIP, but he could be a long man on a playoff roster if need be. Expect two more starts out of him and for Sanchez to throw a good amount of innings.

9/16 MLB DFS Winner: Howie Kendrick

The Washington Nationals were able to avoid being swept. Howie Kendrick was a big part of the reason the Nats were able to win the final game of the series vs. Atlanta as he went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored

Outlook for the rest of the season: In about a half season of at-bats from Howie Kendrick, he is producing very well. He is now at .336 with 15 home runs and 60 RBI. Almost as important as his numbers, he provides veteran leadership to a Nationals team where early postseason exits seem to be common. Expect Kendrick to produce well in his at-bats for the final stretch of the season and beyond.

9/16 MLB DFS Winner: Wellington Castillo

In a battle of two teams trying to see what they have going into 2020, the Chicago White Sox travelled to Seattle to play the Mariners, Wellington Castillo had a solid day at the plate, going 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a sacrifice fly.

Outlook for the rest of the season: This has not been a very good year for Castillo, as he is batting just .204 in 211 at-bats. Someone should remind him how the balls are juiced this season as he has a swing that could produce more home runs than just the 10 he sits at. Expect Castillo to play a decent amount of the remaining games and try to figure something out offensively, as he could be a free agent at the end of the year.

9/16 MLB DFS Winner: Chicago Cubs Offense

The Chicago Cubs dominated at Wrigley Field last night against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates, scoring 16 runs on 19 hits with three walks and reaching on an error. The production was evenly spread across the lineup but Kris Bryant went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs.

Outlook for the rest of the season: At the time of this writing, the Cubs are sitting in the second Wild Card spot and are just two games behind the Cardinals in the N.L. Central. The Cubs have the sixth-lowest team ERA with a 4.04. The offense also scores 5.11 runs per game. Expect the Cubs to continue their winning ways and make the postseason as it would be a huge disappointment if they fail.

We’ve got you covered with college football, so keep your attention to the diamond while looking to make some long green as August makes the slow turn to September.

8/24 DFS Hitting Catcher

Wilson Ramos, NYM vs. ATL

DK ($3,900), FD ($2,400)

Ramos extended his hitting streak to 17 games on Friday, continuing an August that has seen his OPS approach the gilded 1.000 mark. He’s helped his cause with a career-best 9% walk rate that has offset the dip in Isolated Power (.133) and BABIP (.294). He will get a very favorable matchup in Braves starter Max Fried, as Ramos wears out lefties with a .341/.424/.541 (.965 OPS) with five homers. That he’s managing this stretch of consistent hitting feels odd considering he’s hitting grounders at a 60.1% rate and manages a modest 31.6% hard contact rate.

Sometimes, the numbers can trick the hell out of us; in Ramos’ case, you take them for what they are and get the solid results.

8/24 DFS Hitting First Baseman

Carlos Santana, CLE vs. KC

DK ($5,400), FD ($3,700)

Why not roll with Santana again? He reached base three times in Friday’s win over the Royals to continue an August in which he has nearly as many walks (18) as he does hits (25). Santana has a .473 OBP this month but has reached base at a .627 clip against Kansas City pitching this season with three homers and 10 runs scored. Royals starter Glenn Sparkman makes for another easy mark for Santana, as he comes into the game allowing 1.89 HR/9 and a 23.6% line drive rate.

Sparkman has given up nine walks in 21 innings this month and has been treated like chum by Indians batters, who have hit eight homers against him in just 16.1 innings pitched this season.

8/24 DFS Hitting Second Baseman

Howie Kendrick, WAS at CHC

DK ($8,000), FD ($2,600)

If he’s in the lineup, I’m playing him. Kendrick has three multi-hit games in his last four starts, including a pair in Friday’s win at Wrigley. Kendrick is .462/.533/1.154 over the past two weeks with five extra base hits. The 36-year-old jack of all trades has a .934 OPS this season with a career-best .235 Isolated Power, the result of Kendrick delivering hard contact at a 44% rate and a 32.6% fly ball rate. He’ll be licking his chops at the thought of hitting Cubs starter Jose Quintana, as Kendrick has a .912 OPS in 93 at-bats against lefties this season.

8/24 DFS Hitting Third Baseman

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. TOR at SEA

DK ($4,000), FD ($2,900)

Prior to Friday’s opener against the Mariners, Guerrero was hitting a robust .583/.667/1.083 over the past week with a pair of homers. He’s been more effective on the road, sporting an .896 OPS before Friday night while his walk rate has finally reached double digits at 10.1%. Guerrero’s .191 Isolated Power will continue to rise while his line drive rate (18.1%) has steadily climbed since the All-Star Break.

Both he and his dad will have something to else to share, as Guerrero will get the chance to face Mariners icon Felix Hernandez, who will be making his first start since May 11.

8/24 DFS Hitting Shortstop

Tommy Edman, STL vs. COL

DK ($4,500), FD ($2,800)

Edman had his third multi-hit game this week in Friday’s win over the Rockies, making him 4 for 9 (.444) against the Rockies. Teeing off on Colorado pitching isn’t the only reason for considering Edman. He’s produced a .902 OPS over the past two weeks and has been decisively more dominant at, where his .839 OPS far outweighs his .661 OPS outside St. Louis. Edman is living up to his projections as a line drive hitter (22.8%) with the ability to scald the ball (42.4% hard contact rate) with occasional power outbursts (10% HR/FB rate).

Look for Edman to thrive off Rockies starter Chi Chi Gonzalez, whose control issues (4.40 BB/9) is worsened by his 2.05 HR/9 rate. I won’t be shocked if Edman takes advantage of Gonzalez’s 45.2% hit rate and takes him deep.

8/24 DFS Hitting Outfielder

Ryan Braun, MIL vs. ARI

DK ($4,800), FD ($2,900)

If it feels like the Brewers love facing Diamondbacks pitching, it’s because….well, they do. Braun rapped out a pair of hits and drove in a run in Friday’s win, giving him a slash of .438/.444/.688 (1.132 OPS) with a homer in 16 at-bats against Arizona this season. This feels like a vintage Braun campaign, evidenced by a .212 Isolated Power and .331 BABIP along with the fact he can still swipe a base or two.

He’s pulling the ball more (42.1%) than in previous years while experiencing a slight uptick in both line drive rate (19.5%) and fly ball rate (29%). The 43.8% hard contact rate helps drive his numbers, but it’s the 6.1% walk rate that’s worth keeping an eye on since Diamondbacks rookie Zac Gallen has struggled with walks. That is all the more reason to Brew up in the 8/24 DFS Hitting and Stacks.

8/24 DFS Hitting Outfielder

Marcell Ozuna, STL vs. COL

DK ($4,900), FD ($3,500)

He’s homered in consecutive games against the Rockies and gets a pitcher (Chi Chi Rodriguez) who is exceptionally homer-prone tonight. I’ll triple my long ball bets with Ozuna, who is hitting .500 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored in his last four games. Gonzalez, who has also suffered control issues, is an ideal target for Ozuna, whose 10.4% walk rate and .254 Isolated Power has been major factors in the resurgence of his bat. Ozuna sports a 50% hard contact rate, which makes him more viable in 8/24 DFS Hitting Picks and Stacks.

8/24 DFS Hitting Outfielder

Willie Calhoun, TEX at CWS

DK ($4,800), FD ($3,700)

Calhoun homered for the third time in five games, accounting for all of Texas’ offense in an 8-3 loss on Friday. The homer also continued displaying Calhoun’s slight edge as a more offensive hitter on the road, where his .911 OPS nudges past his .883 mark in Arlington.

Fly ball hitters are worth targeting when playing in Guaranteed Rate Field, and Calhoun certainly fits the bill with a 44.9% rate. He’s also equaled the strong run he had in the minors earlier in the season, flashing identical 20% HR/FB rates along with displaying an extreme pull nature (53.2%).

8/23 DFS Hitting Stacks

8/24 Hitting Stack of the Day: Cleveland Indians: On top of Santana, I’m tossing in Francisco Lindor ($5,100 DK). Jason Kipnis ($3,900 DK) is a good value play. Make sure Jose Ramirez ($5,100 DK) is part of the party, as he owns a pair of homers off Sparkman. Roberto Perez ($2,900 FD) is a good add as well. This will be a handsome payoff in the 8/24 DFS Hitting and Stacks lineup.

8/24 Hitting Stack Runners-Up: New York Yankees: Coming off a five-HR assault, the Yankees should feast off the the Dodgers. Gleyber Torres ($5,100 DK) has been off the chain during this West Coast swing. Aaron Judge ($3,900 FD) is showing signs of breaking out of a sluggish August. Pay up for Gary Sanchez ($4,100 FD) and smile while doing so.

8/24 Hitting Stack to Consider: Cincinnati Reds: Pirates starter Trevor Williams has a 8.03 ERA in his last 10 starts. He has allowed 18 homers in that span. That’s blood in the water for Aristides Aquino ($4,900 DK), who went deep on Friday night. Jose Iglesias ($3,700 DK) could be a bargain. Catcher Tucker Barnhart ($3,400 DK) has four hits in eight at-bats against Williams. Keep in mind Jesse Winker ($4,100 DK) has a pair of hits in six ABs vs. Williams.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 6/5: Look for L.A. Lefties

Marshall Rosen
written by Marshall Rosen

Washington Nationals

Whenever the White Sox run Dylan Covey to the bump, there should be interest in stacking against him. The right-hander is basically everything we look for when searching for a pitcher to target against. Covey is a flyball pitcher with a 40% flyball rate. And he is not missing any bats. Covey also has a slate low 16.02% whiff rate and is allowing contact on 85.8% of swings taken by the opposition. The flyballs and heavy contact have led to a slate high 6.44 SIERA.

So of course, we want to get some Nationals in our DFS lineups for Wednesday. The Washington stack needs to start with Juan Soto (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,700). The outfielder has the best matchup of any of the Nationals’ batters. Soto has a .230 ISO versus right-handed pitching while Covey is allowing a .368 wOBA to lefty batters. Some other lefties worth considering, if they are in the lineup are: Gerardo Parra (FanDuel: $2,500 DraftKings: $4,200) and Matt Adams (FanDuel: $3,100 DraftKings: $4,400). Both lefties have ISOs above .240 versus righties in 2019.

Feel free to get Anthony Rendon (FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,900) and Howie Kendrick (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $5,800) in your lineups. Both have crushed right-handed pitching all year and should have no problem making light work of Chicago’s Dylan Covey.

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 .218 ISO and a .353 wOBA) against right-handed pitching.

And tonight should be no different. While the Diamondbacks’ Jon Duplantier has a respectable 3.18 ERA, there is some regression coming. On the season he is allowing a 45.5% hard contact rate, highest on the slate. We have also seen his velocity dip almost three MPH since the start of the season.

As you look to stack Dodgers’ bats, use their lefties. Duplantier has allowed a 58.8% hard contact rate to left-handed bats this season. So, your L.A. building blocks would include the likes of: Joc Pederson (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $5,600), Cody Bellinger (FanDuel: $4,800 DraftKings: $5,800), Corey Seager (FanDuel: $3,900 DraftKings: $4,600) and Max Muncy (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $4,900). All four of these Dodgers’ left-handed batters have accumulated at least a .200 ISO versus right-handed pitching and should hit a few balls hard against the Arizona starter in this one.

Milwaukee Brewers

The Marlins’Sandy Alcantara is having an ok season on the surface with a respectable 4.08ERA. But his 5.65 SIERA tells a different story. A blow up is likely coming andprobably coming Monday. Alcantara is allowing a .323/.429/.485 slash line instarts where is coming in with five days rest. He last pitched May 30th.

While thisstack is appealing enough with that in mind, also consider that the Brewers’offense has a .201 ISO versus right-handed pitching this season. Load up on thefollowing Brewers: Christian Yelich (FanDuel: $4,900 DraftKings: $6,000), MikeMoustakas (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $5,600), Yasmani Grandal (FanDuel: $3,600DraftKings: $5,100) and Eric Thames (FanDuel: $3,000 DraftKings: $5,100). Eachof these Brewers’ bats have over .200 ISOs against righties this season.

St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals’ offense has a date with the Reds’ Anthony DeSclafani on Monday. The right-hander seems like a good target to pick on for Wednesday. Not only is he allowing 2.32 HR/9 this season, and the Cardinals have roughed him up pretty well in the past.

The current Cardinals’ roster has a career .300/.383/.555 slash line against him in 120 at-bats. You will want to get Marcell Ozuna (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,200), Matt Carpenter (FanDuel: $3,200 DraftKings: $4,300) and Paul Goldschmidt (FanDuel: $3,700 DraftKings: $4,300) in your lineups. Carpenter and Goldy each have over 1.500 OPS against the Reds’ starter in their careers.

Other stacks to consider:

Texas Rangers vs. John Means

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Spencer Turnbull

New York Yankees vs. Trent Thorton

Value Stack: San Francisco Giants

By most accounts, the Mets’ Jason Vargas is not a very good pitcher. He has a 5.39 SIERA. He is allowing a 44.4% hard contact rate, while striking out just 17.8% of the batters he has faced.

DespiteVargas’ lack of success this season, the DFS sites, particularly FanDuel, have pricedthe Giants extremely low. Their most expensive regular can be had for just$3,300. Use the Giants to help cram in your other, more expensive stacks forWednesday.

Good luckand happy stacking!

DFS Hitting Stacks for 5/23: Bundy Bashing

Wes Anderson
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!
