On the Defense
Shane Bieber vs. Chicago White Sox
$11,000 FD / $11,500
I am pretty sure everybody is going to have “Bieber Fever” on this 9/4 MLB DFS slate. Despite his checkered past versus the White Sox this season allowing eight earned runs over 12 2/3 innings, this should be the cash game play of the night. The White Sox are still striking out 25.8 percent of the time versus RHPs with a sub-par .311 wOBA. With Bieber having a current 11.9 K/9 and striking out batters left and right in every start, even if he was to give up some runs today the strikeout upside alone still could land him the top SP slot on the slate.
Zac Gallen vs. San Diego Padres
$8,500 FD / $9,600
The Padres are 12th in MLB over the last seven days in offense. That is a fact. They also strike out 25.8 percent of the time versus RHPs, another fact. Gallen has 22 strikeouts over his last 16 innings while only allowing six earned runs, all versus much tougher opponents. His price is a bit high for a SP2 on DK to pair with Bieber, but on this 9/4 MLB DFS slate he sure makes a fine pivot off of him in GPPs.
Hyun-Jin Ryu vs. Colorado Rockies
$8,400 FD / $9,200
Despite Hyun-Jin Ryu pitching more like Hyun-Jin Pyu as of late, for the deflated price on FD I will be using him in a few large field GPPs. The Rockies still strike out 22.4 percent of the time versus LHPs, and outside of Coors Field have a .292 wOBA to complement a pathetic wRC+ of 76. I have confidence Ryu rights the ship on this 9/4 MLB DFS slate at home where is ERA is 1.54.
Jacob Junis vs. Detroit Tigers
$7,900 FD / $7,500 DK
The Detroit Tigers are a team you can attack most days. They strike out 27.3 percent of the time versus RHPs with a low .292 wOBA. In case you missed it Junis has 19 strikeouts versus Detroit this season over 19 innings while allowing five earned runs. With the 9/4 MLB DFS slate offering limited choices Junis shines as the clear cut SP2 option and great value play on FD.
On the Attack
Anthony Senzatela vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
This is certainly the 9/4 MLB DFS chalk stack of the night. Senzatela has allowed a whopping 33 earned runs over his last 13 1/3 innings. Now he goes into Dodger Stadium to face one of the most powerful offenses in MLB. He is going to take an absolute shellacking tonight.
Notable Bats
A.J .Pollock is 4-for-9 with one home run off Senzatela, but keep in mind he hits lefties better than righties.
Gavin Lux now has a wOBA of .695 versus RHPs with 343 wRC+. It may be a small sample size by why not ride the hot bat before the scouts catch up with him.
Cody Bellinger, if you use your budget wisely, is the top play, and price. With a .434 wOBA versus RHPs over this long season he should feast tonight.
Patrick Sandoval vs. Oakland Athletics
Prior to his great last outing versus the Rangers, Sandoval allowed seven earned runs over 7 1/3 innings. I see clear regression on this 9/4 MLB DFS slate facing an A’s team with a .331 wOBA versus LHPs.
Notable Bats
Matt Chapman has .376 wOBA versus LHPs with a wRC+ of 139 this season.
Khris Davis has a decreased price as of late and is posting a .355 wOBA versus LHPs.
Mark Canha is batting cleanup with little surprise carrying a .342 wOBA versus LHPs. He also has five straight games without a home run, he is due.
Edwin Jackson vs. Kansas City Royals
My sneaky stack on this 9/4 MLB DFS slate is the Royals. The last time he faced Kansas City he only allowed one earned run over 6 1/3 innings while striking out four, this may scare some people off. After watching him get rocked for 12 earned runs in his last two starts versus the Twins in 7 1/3 innings, I am on the attack here.
Jorge Soler is the Nelson Cruz of the Royals. He has a .370 wOBA versus RHPs this season and is batting .348 with three home runs over the last seven.
Hunter Dozier, who in my opinion has the best name for a third baseman in baseball, mashes RHPs to the tune of a .363 wOBA with a wRC+ of 166. He also has two home runs and seven RBI over the last seven days.
Alex Gordon may have slowed down but he is only striking out 14.8 percent of the time versus RHPs and has a solid shot at some real hard contact today.

Monkey Knife Fight Prop Pick
I am going with the over with Junis facing a Tigers team that is leading MLB in strikeouts versus RHPs.
Miguel Cabrera has had some success versus Junis, going 4-for-14 lifetime. The Over is where I am looking.

Welcome to a special Thursday edition appearance by me, Jerry Colvin. As a player who does this day in and day out, filling in is easy enough. After all, I already must do the research anyway.
On this 8/29 MLB DFS pitching slate you are going to have to make some clear and very painful choices on DraftKings, fade Coors Field, or not fade Coors Field. At the current salaries if you want any of them bats, you will be taking a chance on pitching. So, without delay let’s get this going.

LanceLynn vs. Seattle Mariners
$9,300 FD / $10,000 DK
Despite the seven runs allowed to the White Sox in his last start, at his salary on both sites he is the top option on this 8/29 MLB DFS slate. In three starts this year versus Seattle, Lynn has allowed six earned runs over 20 innings while fanning 30 batters. With the Mariners striking out 24.6 percent of the time versus RHPs, combined with Lynn’s 10.4/K9, you have a real shot at some serious fantasy points.
Hyun-JinRyu vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
$9,000 FD / $10,500 DK
Despite my love for the Dodgers, and the joyful repentance I take for the season, and doubt I had in Ryu to ever pitch at this level again, I simply would rather pay for him tonight over Jacob deGrom. I would, however, on this 8/29 MLB DFS slate point out that at deGrom’s price-point on both sites he does make for a very tempting GPP play. Regardless, tonight is still going to come down to being able to afford some decent hitting. The Diamondbacks absolutely destroy LHPs to the tune of a .367 wOBA, and wRC+ of 123. At home they both drop significantly down to .316 and 88.
My worries here are strikeout upside. Arizona is currently only striking out 18.4 percent of the time versus LHP, and Ryu over his last three starts has 14 strikeouts over 20 innings while only allowing one earned run. With numbers like these, despite the decreased strikeout totals, I see no reason not to say thank you, Ryu. This makes the 8/29 MLB DFS even better if he goes through.

ChrisPaddack vs. San Francisco Giants
$7,000 FD / $9,000 DK
It’s time to man up and make some hard decisions on this 8/29 MLB DFS slate. Over his last four starts spanning 17 innings versus the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Phillies, Paddack has allowed 19 earned runs. Now this does indeed scare the boxer briefs off me. The fact remains all three of them teams mentioned above are far better than the Giants. San Francisco is striking out 22.6 percent of the time versus RHPs, and have a home .wOBA of .281 to compliment the wRC+ of 75.
Both are 30th, opening the door for Paddack to have a strong bounce-back start facing a team he has shown success against in two previous starts this season.
Alex Woodvs. Miami Marlins
$7,500 FD / $7,900 DK
Alex Wood, yes that is where we have landed. Alex Wood. Remember that name tonight because salary wise if you were to go any lower, the blow-up risk associated here is the difference between the first musket, and a modern-day shotgun. He has absolutely been beaten up over his last four starts facing the Pirates, Cardinals, Nationals, and Cubs.
Now the difference between them and the Marlins is day and night. The Marlins are striking out 22.5 percent of the time versus LHP with an increase to 26.1 over the last seven days. To throw the proverbial cherry on top the only two teams with worse home numbers are the Tigers, and Giants (ring a bell?). On this 8/29 MLB DFS slate with limited cheap options, I would eat a good dinner and tell myself this is his best chance for Wood to come out solid.

This is a fascinating DFS slate because there aren’t really many great cheap options out there. Cheap pitchers have been dominating DFS all season but I don’t think this scheduleis going to allow that. We actually have two cash game pitchers here that I believe are great bets for 40-plus and they’re elite options in both cash games and GPPs.

DK ($10.600) FD ($10,600)
deGrom has the highest upside of any player on this DFS slate, as he truly has 60-point potential in this stellar matchup. Dating back to last season, deGrom is pitching to a 2.22 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. One would believe that those video game-like numbers would be a bit inflated but his 2.45 FIP and 32 percent K rate in that span indicates that it’s no fluke. That nasty stuff paired with this matchup makes deGrom one of the best plays on the board, with the Giants sitting 21st in runs scored, 26th in OBP, 27th in OPS and 28th in wOBA. Oracle Park is arguably the best pitcher’s park in the Majors, which is why the Giants have an implied run total of just 3.5 runs. and the Mets are a -195 favorite.
DK ($11,000) FD ($10,500)
Is there any question that Ryu was going to be in this article? He’s simply been the best pitcher in the NL this season, which is evident by the fact that he sits first in both ERA and WHIP. A 1.78 ERA and 0.93 WHIP are simply bonkers numbers at this point of the season and they’d be even better if it weren’t for an ugly Coors Field start two weeks ago. While he’s been dominant everywhere this year, his home numbers are downright silly. In fact, Ryu has a 0.85 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 63.2 innings at home en route to a 7-0 record and 8.9 K/9 rate.
That’s why Ryu has at least 31 FanDuel points in 16 of his 18 starts this season, which is simply an unmatched floor. These unsightly statistics make Ryu the safest play on the slate and it doesn’t even take into consideration this cupcake matchup. The Marlins currently rank 19th in K rate, 29th in runs scored and last in wOBA, OPS and xwOBA. Vegas absolutely loves Ryu too, projecting the Marlins for a measly three runs with the Dodgers entering this game as a –310 favorite.
DK ($10.400) FD ($10,800)
Bieber is our final cash game option on this DFS slate and he also makes for a fantastic pivot. Many people will pick Verlander, deGrom or Ryu but Bieber has just as much upside. We’re talking about a guy with a 3.05 xFIP, 1.00 WHIP and 32 percent K rate. That’s just as good as any of those aforementioned studs and he’s actually been even better recently. Over his last six starts, Bieber is pitching to a 2.40 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while generating an 11.8 K/9 rate.
The icing on the cake is this matchup though, is Kansas City sitting 22nd in runs scored, 24th in OPS, 25th in xwOBA and 27th in xSLG. What really makes them appealing to target is the fact that they’ll be without their best hitter in Adalberto Mondesi. That’s a major reason why the Royals are projected for just 3.5 runs with the Indians coming into this matchup as a –230 favorite.
Justin Verlander is a great cash game DFS option too, as he’s facing a Rangers team that owns the worst K rate in the Majors.
DK ($6.000) FD ($6,200)
Ok, bear with me here. Mahle has been much better than his numbers would indicate and we need to take a deeper dive into these statistics. Let’s start with his recent matchups, with Mahle’s last 10 starts including games at COL, vs. MIL, vs. HOU, vs. TEX, at PHI, at CHC and vs. LAD. That’s a murderer’s row of a schedule and anyone would have a tough time maintaining a decent ERA in that span. The peripherals tell me that Mahle is much better than his 4.82 ERA, with the Cincy righty pitching to a 3.82 xFIP and 24.3 percent K rate. That’s why he has at least 31 FanDuel points in 10 of his 18 starts this season and that makes these prices hard to understand.
The matchup may be the best part about this play though, with the Cardinals ranking 25th in runs scored, 24th in wOBA and 27th in SLG. That doesn’t even take into consideration that Matt Carpenter, Marcell Ozuna and Yadier Milona are all out of the lineup. We’re playing DFS here guys, you can take a risk on a bad pitcher on any given slate if the circumstances are there.
DK ($8,700) FD ($8,000)
This young gun has been an absolute stud in his short time at the Majors, pitching to a 1.69 ERA and 0.69 WHIP across 16 innings. That’s really no surprise when you consider his 1.22 ERA and 0.80 WHIP at Double-A and Triple-A, as this is simply one of the best pitching prospects in the game.
All that would put him in consideration against pretty much anyone but especially vs. the White Sox. In fact, Chicago currently ranks 25th in wOBA, 28th in runs scored and 23rd in K rate. That’s a scary thought considering they’ll be without Eloy Jimenez too. We’re looking at the Rays as a projected –200 favorite with the White Sox forecasted to score less than four runs.

We’re well above .500 with our MKF picks this season and it’s truly become one of my favorite Prop sites. We’re back at it today with pitching and that happens to be my specialty!
While Ryu is not really known for his strikeouts, it would be hard to imagine him not reaching this total in such a premium matchup. I anticipate Ryu going 7-8 innings and that alone should guarantee him 6 Ks with his 24 percent K rate and stellar matchup.
Lopez has an unsightly 5.97 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. That’s why the Rays are projected for more than five runs here and I really don’t see Lopez going past the fifth inning. That will make this total tough to reach, especially with the Rays sitting ninth in xwOBA, full of dangerous bats.
This report will provide recommended DFS stacks for today’s 14-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks.
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).
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).
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).
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).

Wes Passinault can thank Ian Desmond and revel in the worst performance of the season by Hyun Jin-Ryu, He is headed to the biggest Fantasy Sports event he could ever hope to be a part of, the FanDuel WFBC.
The 36 year-old accountant from Amherst, Wisconsin won a seat in the 2019 $2,000,000 FanDuel World Fantasy Baseball Championship in San Diego on August 24 by taking down a qualifier on June 28. He also did it with some input from his friend and Win Daily analyst Mark Paquette.
“I was teetering on using Desmond,” he said. “But Mark told me for a Colorado bat at $3200, I had to take him. That is what took it over the edge for me.”
The Rockies and Dodgers combined for 22 runs that night. Desmond scored 18.9 points on FanDuel, going 2 for 5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. Passinault used seven hitters from the Los Angeles/Colorado game. Nolan Arenado had a four-hit night, with two doubles and a HR, and led the way to the FanDuel WFBC with 40.4 points. Max Muncy had a homer and four RBI and came in with 38.7.
“I felt confident like I always did, and I had more confidence on that night targeting Coors Field bats,” he said. “I knew I was going to get on some Rockies bats that night.”
A savvy Fantasy DFS player, Passinault has been competing since 2000 in seasonal and 2013 in Daily games. He was set on attacking Ryu, the premier pitcher in the National League, when most others would not. He was not afraid to gun for the rare Ryu down outing in Colorado.
It’s not often when Colorado bats go so underowned at home. I looked up the projected ownership numbers for Arenado and stuck with him and never changed,” Passinault said.
Ryu allowed seven earned runs and helped Passinault to his biggest Fantasy night ever and a seat in the FanDuel WFBC. The previous season, he had won $2,500 in a multi-entry tournament on FanDuel. Now he had woken up to approximately $8,000. He took first place in four of the five tournaments he entered that night.
But Passinault did not find out about his winnings and seat in the live finals in San Diego until the next day. He said he knew he was going to be close to some success. But he simply turned his phone off for the night before the games ended. He didn’t realize his good fortune until the next day when he was readying for a cornhole tournament.
“My phone just started exploding,” he said. “Then I saw that I had won the qualifier and realized what happened.”
Passinault estimated he had tried to qualify for a seat in the FanDuel WFBC 55 times before he finally got in. Now he is going to play for a first place prize of $500,000 and is guaranteed a minimum of $5,000. He is having all his expenses paid for the trip and will experience welcome and viewing parties. He will also be entered into a $50,000 single game championship tournament at a Red Sox/Padres game at Petco Park, among other VIP experiences. This will be his first ever trip to San Diego.
“What I am really looking forward to the most is being with all those great DFS players in one room, and experiencing the culture as all of them get together,” Passinault said. “I think I just might be an Average Joe compared to some of these guys.”
But Passinault said he is not putting an extra pressure on himself as the FanDuel WFBC event approaches.
“I am just going to get back to playing DFS and focus on the day at hand,” he said.
In the meantime, Passinault is also grateful to his friend Paquette. Passinault had previously followed Mark on Twitter and reached out to him during the previous NBA season to start chatting DFS. It was the Win Daily writer who ultimately urged him to roster Desmond.
Ultimately, though, Passinault said his love for numbers and going with his gut has gotten him this far. Now he’ll be enjoying the VIP DFS experience of a lifetime at the FanDuel WFBC.
“As an accountant I have a natural love for the numbers, but about 40 percent of it is just gut feel,” he said. “Sometimes my gut will just tell me to go the other way.”
That mix of number crunching and going with hunches has Wes Passinault on his way to the Fantasy experience of his life. He is mentally readying for next month at the FanDuel WFBC in San Diego.
‘My wife and I are really looking forward to it,” he said. ‘But I keep reminding myself to not get too far ahead, we’re not ahead to it yet.”
DFS Expert/Pro Wrestler Matt Striker and FSWA Hall of Famer Scott Engel are featured in the 7/4 MLB DFS Podcast. Listen to get caught up on who they are planning to play today and tonight. They break down the large slate and engage in some interesting banter. Scott actually pulls a Jason Vargas like act on Striker at one point.
Anibal Sanchez is maybe the best value for pitching on the slate against his former team. Scott also likes Lance Lynn a lot, but Striker may want to employ a contrarian stack against him. Should you really spend for Dodgesr bats tonight? Some Toronto bats may be in play. Listen closely to the 7/4 MLB DFS Podcast to find the hidden gems on the Daily Fantasy Baseball slate.

DFS Pitching Prime Pick: Luis Castillo vs. Milwaukee Brewers
DraftKings $10,000, FanDuel $9,400
The Brewers have been really slumping lately and Castillo has been dominant all season. At home he holds a 1.92 ERA and a .160 BAA. Not to mention his 9.43 K/9. Castillo has been one of the biggest DFS Pitching surprises this year and I expect him to keep rolling in this one.
Brandon Woodruff @ Cincinnati Reds
DraftKings $9,400, FanDuel $9,800
Woodruff has the DFS Pitching upside to hang with the best in the league. He can go out and strike out a ton in any matchup. The Reds aren’t all that scary and I can easily see him strolling through this lineup very easily. Woodruff has been pretty solid against right handed bats (.221 BAA) so I’m not really worried about the majority of this lineup.
Matt Boyd @ Chicago White Sox

This is my pay up high tournament DFS Pitching upside play of the day. Boyd has been a little shaky of late, but he figured it out last time he pitched. Boyd always has that very high strikeout upside that we search for in tournaments, especially on the road. He turns it up a notch to get strikeouts as he holds a 12.90 K/9 on the road. I love him here against a White Sox team that strikes out a ton.
Hyun-Jin Ryu vs San Diego Padres
DraftKings $11,100, FanDuel $10,800
By some point you just have to realize the obvious in DFS Pitching and that is Ryu is dominant this season. At home this season he holds a 0.94 ERA and a 9.05 K/9. He has been baseball’s best arm this year and against the Padres, who are always hit or miss, I have a strong feelings they’re going to miss in this one.
