Kansas City Royals

Welcome to Monday’s edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. 

It’s Monday and that means we have somewhat of a shortened slate.  Tonight we are blessed with a 7-game slate of MLB DFS.  We have a handful of top pitchers on this slate.  We also have a handful of pitchers that stacking against is a usual play.  It’s shaping up to be a small but solid slate. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

James Paxton vs. Minnesota Twins

Oft-injured James Paxton is finally healthy again and boy is he pitching well.  Over the last month, Paxton has just been phenomenal.  He’s pitched to an ERA of just over 3.4, but what’s most important is that he’s been racking up the strikeouts.  Over that same period, Paxton has a nearly 34% k rate.  There’s no one on this slate that has the K upside that he’s been showing. 

What helps is that he’ll be facing a Twins lineup that has struggled mightily vs. southpaws this season.  The Twins have a 28% k rate vs. lefties this season wOBA under .300.  This all sets up extremely well for Paxton to continue his stretch of really solid pitching.  He’s reached at least 20 DK points in 5 of his 6 starts this season.  He should add to that number tonight.  He’s also still under $10k. 

Merrill Kelly vs. Milwaukee Brewers

Another pitcher under $10k tonight that’s in a really solid spot is Merrill Kelly of the Arizona Diamondbacks.  He gets a strong matchup tonight vs. the Milwaukee Brewers.  This has been a strike-out-happy team all season.  Against righties this season, the Brewers have a 25% strikeout rate.  They’ve also done little in the way of damage as well as they have an OPS under .700 and a wOBA just a shade over .300. 

Kelly for his part has pitched extremely well this season.  We have to go all the way back to April 6 to find an outing where he was in single-digit DK points.  Over his last 5 starts, he’s been over 15 DK points in all.  With how well he’s been pitching, he should be able to navigate this lineup with relative ease tonight. 

Other pitchers that I like tonight will be Hunter Brown vs. the all too disappointing Mets and Corbin Burnes vs. Arizona Diamondbacks.  Personally, I’ll be sticking with the Paxton/Kelly combo in all my lineups. 

MLB DFS Stacks – Main

Cincinnati Reds vs. Austin Gomber

The pick on Austin Gomber show heads to Cincinnati tonight.  We’ll need to keep an eye on the weather on this one but if it plays, it’s an absolute smash spot for the Reds.  Austin Gomber has been horrific this season.  He boasts an ERA over 7 and if we dial that back to just the past 30 days, it balloons to nearly 8.5.  Over his past 30 days, Gomber has allowed 7 homers and 10 barrels in just 22 innings of work.  Hitters have a 46% hard-hit rate vs. him. 

He’s not fooling anyone currently and until he figures it out on the mound, we’ll want to attack him at any chance we get.  I’m not going to be overly concerned with splits.  Both sides of the plate have been crushing.  Surprisingly though, lefties have been battering him a smidge more as they have a .447 wOBA vs. him and a .333 ISO.  All hands on deck here.

I’m going to start my Reds stack with Matt McLain and Spencer Steer.  Both guys have crushed lefties this season.  In 34 plate appearances, McLain has a .456 wOBA and a .294 ISO.  The youngster is going to be the heart and soul of this team going forward for a long time to come and I’m going to make sure he’s in my lineup tonight. 

Steer has also been really solid, with a .363 wOBA and a .250 ISO.  Steer also brings in the element of stolen bases for us as he’s up to 6 on the year.  He homered yesterday and with how bad Gomber has been, a homer in back-to-back games is not out of the question.  Other bats to include here are going to be anyone that makes the lineup.  I’m all in on this lineup as long as this game plays.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Drew Smyly

Up until about a few weeks ago, Drew Smyly had actually been a serviceable pitcher.  He was limiting teams to only a run or 2 each game.  That has changed over the last few outings.  He’s not gone 4 straight games with allowing at least 3 opponents to score.  In his last outing against this same Pirates team, Smyly gave up 5 ER on 3 homers. 

He’s back to his old bad ways of pitching and we’ll want to take advantage of that.  Like Gomber, I’m going not going to be overly worried about splits.  Smyly too has been worse against lefties so they’ll stay in play.  That said, I’m going to focus more on the righties here.

The two bats I want here first are going to be Connor Joe and Rodolfo Castro.  Both guys have been far and away the best hitters in this lineup vs. lefties.  Joe has a .441 wOBA and Castro has a .457.  Both guys also have ISO’s over .300 against southpaws this season.  If we look at pitch selection, Smyly throws his sinker more than 40% of the time vs. righties.  Both guys also crush lefty sinkers. 

Another bat in this lineup that crushes lefty sinkers is Carlos Santana.  Santana has a .438 wOBA vs. them over the past few years.  He’s also coming into this one as the Pirates’ best hitter over the last week.  He’s 7 for 23 over the last week with 2 bombs and a .929 OPS.  Other bats I like here will be Andrew McCutchen, Bryan Reynolds, and Ke’Bryan Hayes.  Only Joe, Castro, and Santana are priorities here for me though. 

Other stacks I like tonight will be the Cubs vs. Bido and the Astros vs. Max Scherzer.  Scherzer has been a huge disappointment and is coming off an embarrassing out vs. the Yankees. 

MLB DFS Summary

My favorite stack in the Reds tonight carries some weather risk.  There’s a potential for a PPD there, but if they play, they have a ton of upside. This has the makings for an odd slate tonight.  A handful of pitchers carry modest risk of blowing up, but can also dominate the team they playing.

Welcome to Friday’s edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. 

It’s full-slate Friday and tonight we have a massive 14-game slate of MLB DFS to navigate through.  This slate brings us a lack of high-end pitching, but it does bring us some competent starters that are in good spots.  We also have a healthy amount of bats that are in solid spots so we should see some offense tonight. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Michael Kopech vs. Seattle Mariners

The former top prospect for the Chicago White Sox is finally living up to his potential..  Since May 12, Michael Kopech has 3 starts where he hasn’t allowed an ER.  That’s over the course of 6 starts.  Over those 6 starts, he’s also had no less than 5 strikeouts in any game, with 2 of the starts being in double digits.  From a DK standpoint, Kopech has reached into the upper 20’s in 3 of his last 5 starts.  The 2 starts that he didn’t, he was still in the upper teens. 

Tonight, he’ll have the luxury of facing off against a Mariners lineup that for the most part has been extremely disappointing.  With how well Kopech has been pitching and how inconsistent the Mariners have been, this sets up nicely for Kopech to have a solid night tonight.

Taijuan Walker vs. Oakland Athletics

After a nice stretch of baseball and their reverse boycott, the Oakland Athletics have come back down to earth and have lost back-to-back games.  After tonight, it should be 3 straight losses as they face the streaking Philadelphia Phillies.  The Phillies have won 8 of their last 10 games and show no signs of slowing down.  They’ll turn the ball over to Taijuan Walker tonight. 

Walker is coming off back-to-back dominant starts and hasn’t allowed more than 3 ER in a start since May 17.  He’s pitching some of his best baseball in a Phillies uniform and a date with the A’s shouldn’t slow him down.  Walker is mostly a splitter pitcher as he throws it more than 30% of the time to both sides of the plate.  Up and down the lineup, this is a pitch that the A’s struggle with.  He should haven’t a dominant outing. 

Other pitchers that I’m interested in tonight are going to be Rich Hill vs. Milwaukee and Julio Teheran vs. Pittsburgh.  The Brewers have been awful vs. lefties this season and there is no lefty craftier than Hill.  He very well could walk through this lineup tonight.  On the other side of the game, Teheran has been brilliant since being recalled by the Brewers.  Although the Pirates have been good this year, Teheran has a shot to really dominate them tonight. 

MLB DFS Stacks – Main

Atlanta Braves vs. Dinelson Lamet

We’ll be using the Braves often the rest of the way out.  They are as good of a lineup in baseball as there is.  Up and down the lineup they have studs and with a matchup against Dinelson Lamet tonight, they should crush.  Lamet has struggled mightily this season as his ERA for the year is north of 10.  When you’re talking about a pitcher in double digits in terms of ERA, that’s bad.  Since being recalled at the end of May, Lamet has allowed a hard-hit rate of nearly 40%. 

Although he’s only allowed 1 homer in the 11 innings, it’s only a matter of time before more balls leave the park when you combine his hard-hit rate and his nearly 37% fly ball rate.  We have no reason to be selective with any specific side of the plate tonight as Lamet has been horrendous against both righties and lefties.

The obvious plays here are Ronald Acuna and Matt Olson.  They are the 2 premier hitters in this lineup and have as much as upside as anyone else tonight.  They’ll cost us a pretty penny though.  If you play them together, they’re going to eat up nearly $13k of your budget on DK.  The not-so-obvious plays tonight from the Braves will be Ozzie Albies, Michael Harris, and Marcel Ozuna. 

The three of them rank 2,3, and 4 in terms of wRC over the last week on the Braves.  They are also significantly cheaper than both Acuna and Olson.  With all of that being said, this entire lineup is going to be in play tonight.  They have a current implied run total of close to 6.5.  This game is in Atlanta, not Colorado.  Expect the Braves to score a ton tonight.

Kansas City Royals vs. Patrick Sandoval

Patrick Sandoval is having a season to forget.  His strikeouts are down nearly 3 per 9 innings and his ERA is the highest it’s been since all the way back in the shortened season of 2020.  If we look at what he’s done more recently, he’s been even worse.  Over the last month, his ERA is over 7.5 and he’s allowing a ton of hard contact at 38%.  He’s also allowing a ton of runners with a WHIP of 2.11. 

If the Royals can be patient tonight, they’ll get some runners on.  It’s simple math, more runners equals more opportunities for runs.  Another reason for this route with the Royals is that they’re cheap.  Outside of this Bobby Witt and Salvador Perez, there’s a ton of value in this lineup. 

Like the Braves, we have some obvious plays and those are going to be Witt and Perez.  They both stand to do well against Sandoval tonight.  I’m going to look to some cheap guys though to help afford some of those expensive Braves.  Both Maikel Garcia and Edward Olivares have done well vs. southpaws this season. 

Garcia has a wOBA of .388 in 53 plate appearances and Olivares has a .353 wOBA in 116 plate appearances.  MJ Melendez is also in play as he’s good vs. lefties and Sandoval has actually been slightly worse against lefties this season.  He’s just $3.1k on DK tonight.  Again, there’s a lot of value in this Royals lineup to get in the expensive Braves. 

Other stacks I like tonight are going to be the Cardinals vs. Tylor Megill and the Phillies vs. JP Sears.  The Phillies are red hot and are facing a pitcher in Sears that should see some negative regression.  His xFIP is nearly 3 runs higher than his ERA.  The Phillies should accelerate that regression tonight with how well they’ve been hitting. 

MLB DFS Summary

This slate tonight has a little bit of everything.  Solid pitching and solid spots for offense.  There are many different routes to points tonight and the ones I laid out are my favorite.

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. 

It’s Wednesday and we have day baseball!  This article will be focused on the early 7-game slate of MLB DFS.  This slate has a ton of landmines at first glance.  Average pitchers pitching well and some really bad pitchers that we can stack against with subpar offenses. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Mitch Keller vs. San Francisco Giants

It’s tough to ignore what Mitch Keller has been doing.  Over the last month, Keller has a 2.45 ERA and most importantly a nearly 35% k rate.  He has 6 consecutive starts with striking out at least 8 hitters.  He’ll be facing a Giants team that has struck out more than 25% of the time against righties this season.  Between his K ability and the Giants’ propensity to strike out vs. righties, there’s a world of upside today for him. 

Does he come with some level of risk?  Of course, the Giants have been hitting the ball a bit better of late.  That said, they were shut down by Oviedo and the Pirates bullpen last night.  He’s my SP1 today and I’m not looking back. 

Jared Shuster vs. Oakland Athletics

I don’t mind paying down for Shuster today.  While he hasn’t been spectacular, he’s thrown together back-to-back decent outings.  Between the 2 outings, Shuster was able to strike out 12 batters and that’s what I’m focused on.  At just $6.5 on DK today, he’s someone that we don’t need much.  If he can get us 5-6 strikeouts this afternoon and only let in a couple of runs, he can surely pay off his cheap salary. 

It also helps that he’s facing a very mediocre Athletics lineup today.  They’re not awful anymore, but I wouldn’t put them anywhere near the good category either.  Shuster should have a decent day today. 

Other arms I like today are going to be Zach Eflin vs. the Cubs and Lance Lynn vs. the Angels. 

MLB DFS Stacks – Main

Texas Rangers vs. Joey Wentz

Boy, this Angels lineup is good.  They put up a 10 spot last night and it’s not out of the question to see them do it again today as they’re facing a pitcher in Joey Wentz that has a 9.30 ERA over his last 20+ innings of work.  Over those innings, he’s given up 6 bombs and 7 barrels.  He’s allowed 11 ER over his last 2 outings.  He’s someone that we should and we will attack today. 

We’ll want to target the righties here.  They’ve been smashing him to the tune of a .238 ISO and a .388 wOBA.  They also have a 44% flyball rate and a 41% hard-hit rate.  All significantly higher than what lefties have done against him this season.

The three righties in this lineup that I’m going to be targeting the most today will be Josh Jung, Leody Taveras, and Marcus Semien.  Both Jung and Taveras have OPSs over 1.000 over the last week.  Jung is 8 for his last 19 and Taveras is 8 for his last 18.  Both guys are in great spots today to continue with their strong play of late.  Semien hasn’t been as hot as the 2 of them, but he’s had a decent last 7 days with 6 hits in 22 AB.  He’s also driven in 5 over that stretch. 

While he won’t have the platoon advantage today, I also do like Corey Seager here.  He’s hitting the ball hard right now and has driven in 9 over the last week.  We can’t expect Wentz to last more than an AB or 2 so at some point Seager should have the platoon advantage.  I normally play Garcia, but he’s struggling at the plate right now.  He’s in play but with much risk.

Atlanta Braves vs. James Kaprielian

The Braves were a huge disappointment last night, scoring just 1 run vs. JP Sears and the A’s bullpen.  Sears has been pitching well so it wasn’t overly surprising to see him keep the Braves in check.  That said, the A’s bullpen still went 3 and held the Braves hitless.  That all changes today as Kaprielian is just not good and someone we should always consider attacking. 

He’s been blasted at times this season and that should happen again today.  Over the last month, he’s been giving up a ton of hard hits and even more flyballs (50%).  That won’t cut it against the Braves.  We want the lefties here, all of em.  Kap has given up a .345 ISO to them this season and a .459 wOBA.

Knowing that I’m loading up on Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, and Eddie Rosario today.  Olson has been a beast this season vs. righties, with a .373 ISO and a .424 wOBA.  Anytime he’s at-bat, especially when he’s in a matchup like he is today, he’s a home run waiting to happen.  I can absolutely see him taking Kap very deep today.  While they won’t have the platoon advantage, guys like Ronald Acuna and Austin Riley are always in play.  The Braves will look to rebound after last night and put up a massive number today. 

Other stacks I’m interested in this afternoon are going to be Washington vs. Noah Syndergaard, Rays vs. Justin Steele, and to a lesser extent the Dodgers vs. Patrick Corbin

MLB DFS Summary

Both the Braves and Rangers are in absolute smash spots today and I’ll be making it a priority to get bats from both of those lineups into my MLB DFS lineups today.

Welcome to Monday’s edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. 

We at Win Daily Sports want to wish everyone a safe and happy memorial day weekend.  Today we have 2 separate slates, but this article will be focusing solely on the 6-game early slate of MLB DFS since that’s the larger slate.  For it being a smaller slate, this slate is packed with good pitching and good stacking.  There will be options on both ends of the aisle for us.

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Nate Eovaldi vs. Detroit Tigers

When the Rangers picked up Jacob deGrom this offseason, the notion was that he’d be the ace of the pitching staff.  With how much time he’s already missed due to injury, it’s actually been Nate Eovaldi who’s been the true ace of this staff. He’s followed up a brilliant outing with a brilliant outing this season.  Over the last month, Eovaldi has had a .86 ERA and a 24% k rate. 

He’s been doing a phenomenal job of keeping the ball on the ground as evidenced by his 53% groundball rate.  Although the Tigers have shown at times that they can get to pitchers, I just don’t see it today vs. one of the best pitchers in the game this season.  Eovaldi should be able to put together another dominant outing today. 

Ryne Nelson vs. Colorado Rockies

After spending up on Eovaldi today, I’m going to spend down on my SP2.  That brings Ryne Nelson into play.  He’s coming off 2 straight solid outings.  1 vs. the lowly A’s and the other vs. a solid but disappointing Phillies lineup.  In each start, he had at least 17 DK points. 

Today he’ll get a tasty matchup vs. a Rockies team that is leaving the friendly confines of Coors and will no longer have the thin air to help them with their bats.  I’m looking for them to struggle today with going back on the road.  A pitcher at this price point is never safe, but he’s pitching better and gets a nice matchup today. 

Alex Wood vs. Milwaukee Brewers

This is a wild card pick for me tonight.  Alex Wood hasn’t pitched overly well this season, but he also hasn’t pitched much as he’s made just 6 starts.   This is more matchup based for me tonight.  The Brewers have been dreadful vs. lefties this season.  The projected lineup tonight has just a .293 wOBA and a .147 ISO vs. lefties.  They also have a 26% k rate. 

They’ve been attacked against lefties all season and tonight will be no different, even though it’s Alex Wood.  He’s far from safe, but there’s definitely some upside tonight with Alex Wood and his $6.3k salary.

MLB DFS Stacks – Main

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Karl Kaufmann

Karl Kaufmann has just 2 major league starts under his belt but each has been atrocious.  Through the 2 starts, he’s pitched to an ERA over 9 and an xFIP over 6.  He’s giving up a hard-hit rate of 63% and has a WHIP over 2.  Nearly every metric for him is extremely bad.  The only saving grace for him so far has been that he’s been able to keep the ball in the ballpark as he’s only allowed 1 dinger in his 8 innings of work. 

That probably changes today as he’ll face a really strong Diamondbacks lineup.  So far it’s been the righties that have been doing him in.  They have a wOBA over .500 and an ISO of .263.  That said, we don’t necessarily want to write off the lefties, they’ll 100% be in play.

Knowing how bad he’s been against righties, I’m going to target both Christian Walker and Lourdes Gurriel today.  Of the 2, Gurriel has been the better one against righties this season so I will make it a point to force him in there today.  Against righties this season, he has a .311 ISO and a wOBA of .380.  The saving grace for Walker here is that he lines up extremely well with Kaufmann. 

Kaufmann’s main pitch to righties is his sinker and he’s fared extremely well vs. righty sinkers since he’s broken into the league.  Gurriel also has strong numbers vs. sinkers.  Other bats I’ll look to get in here today will be Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll.  This lineup today has a ton of run potential.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Royals Bullpen

This is essentially going to be a bullpen game today for the Royals.  They’ll start out with Josh Staumont, then turn the ball over to Mike Mayers for a few innings, and then we’ll get the Royals bullpen for a handful of innings.  The Royals bullpen has been really bad this season and over the last couple of weeks. 

Over the last couple of weeks, this bullpen has an xFIP of 5.12 and an ERA over 4.  That 5.12 is the second-worst number of any bullpen over the last couple of weeks.  Although the Cardinals have been disappointing this season, they have started to right the ship a bit and have started to play some better baseball, at least offensively. 

The main guys I’m looking at with this stack today will be Paul Goldschmidt, Lars Nootbar, and Brendan Donovan.  These are really the 3 guys in this lineup hitting the ball the best right now.  Nootbar is 9 for his last 29 and has driven in 6 runs over the last week.  The World Baseball Classic winner has put together a decent season so far, with a .270 AVG and a .383 OBP. 

Donovan is also coming off a solid week, with 6 runs scored and a 1.184 OPS.  He’s also extremely cheap today at just $3k.  The spend-up will be Goldy.  His numbers this season haven’t quite been where we’ve been used to them, but he’s still putting together a nice campaign.  Other bats I like here will be Nolan Gorman and Tommy Edman. 

I’m off Arenado right now.  He’s been lost at the plate, for the most part, this season.  That said, he did have 2 hits yesterday, including a double.  Could that be the spark plug for him?  We’ll have to wait and see.

Other stacks I like today are the Royals vs. Waino and Rangers vs. Boyd.  With the Royals, a complete game stack is 100% in play.  Waino has been hot trash this season and the Royals lineup has been hitting.  They could absolutely get to the aging veteran today.

Welcome to Wednesday’s edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. 

It’s Wednesday and that means we have a split MLB DFS slate, with a 5-game early slate and an 8-game main slate.  This article will be solely focused on the main slate tonight. This slate brings us not much in the way of pitching as we have just a few middle-tier pitchers throwing tonight and then just a bunch of bad arms.  What it does bring us is plenty of options for stacks. 

Let’s dig and make some money!

MLB DFS Aces – Main

Kodai  Senga vs. Chicago Cubs

Kodai Senga is coming off by far his best outing in the big leagues.  In his last outing vs. the Rays, he was masterful, throwing 6 innings of 1 run ball and striking out a career-high 12 batters.  He’ll look to build on that outing tonight vs. the Cubs.  The Cubs are no walk in the park, as evidenced by their drubbing of Tylor Megill last night. 

That said, I really like the spot for the Senga tonight as the Cubs are a team that can be beat.  He also has some K upside tonight as the projected lineup for the Cubs has a strikeout rate of nearly 26% vs. righties.  He doesn’t come without risk, but I’ll be rocking Senga tonight as my SP1.

Bryce Miller vs. Oakland Athletics

The pitcher with the best matchup tonight on paper goes to Bryce Miller of the Seattle Mariners.  The A’s have been extremely poor against righties this season.  As a team, they have a 26% K rate and an OPS under .650.  They are bad, very bad.  Although I just focused on how bad the A’s are, it shouldn’t take away from the fact that Miller has been really good. 

Through his first 4 big league starts, Miller has pitched to a 1.42 ERA, an xFIP of 3.8, and a 25% K rate.  The best number for him though has been his WHIP.  His WHIP this season is a staggering .51.  He’s done an amazing job of keeping runners off the bases and if he can continue with that tonight, he should be able to walk through a bad A’s team.

Other pitchers I’ll have interest in tonight will be James Paxton vs. the Angels and Sandy Alcantara vs. the Rockies. 

MLB DFS Stacks – Main

Seattle Mariners vs. Ken Waldichuk

The Mariners were a huge bust last night, scoring just 3 runs vs. the 40-loss Oakland A’s.  Luis Medina has been one of the better pitchers of the year and it’s understandable that they didn’t put up a mammoth number last night.  That all changes today as Ken Waldichuk has been one of their worst pitchers of the year.  He’s started 9 games so far this season and has allowed less than 3 ER just once. 

Over the last month, he’s allowed 6 homers and 11 barrels in 26 innings of work.  Most importantly though his WHIP over that stretch is pushing 2 at 1.85.  He allows a ton of baserunners and if the Mariners can be patient, they can have a field day against Waldichuk.  I’m not going to be overly concerned with splits as both sides of the plate have a wOBA over .400 against him.  That said, lefties have shown way more power against him with a .407 ISO. 

I’m starting my Mariners stack tonight off with Jarred Kelenic.  The kid has been a beast vs. lefties this season.  All of his metrics this season have been better vs. lefties.  His average is more than 70 points, his slugging 221 points, and his OPS is 1.099 vs. them.  The past 2 seasons’ struggles seem to be a thing of the past and his top-prospect ability is finally showing. 

I’ll look to also include Julio Rodriguez, Eugenio Suarez, and Cal Raleigh in this stack.  Teoscar Hernandez is also in play but he’s been mostly a bust this season and very well could net you a big fat 0 today. 

Kansas City Royals vs. Matthew Boyd

The 2023 version of Matthew Boyd has not been good.  On the year Boyd has pitched to a 6.21 ERA and that’s ballooned to over 7 over the last month.  Over his last 23 innings of work, Boyd has given up 5 homers and 6 barrels.  It’s been the flyballs that have been killing him as his flyball rate over the last month is well over 50%. 

It’s tough to succeed when the ball is in the air that much.  With Boyd, we’ll want to focus on the righties.  He’s significantly worse against them.  Righties have a nearly .200 ISO vs. him this season and a wOBA over .350.  All 6 of the homers he’s allowed this season have been to righties.

Knowing how bad Boyd has been against righties, we’ll start this stack off with our good friend Salvador Perez and his teammate Bobby Witt.  Witt has been great vs. lefties this season.  His ISO is up to .300 and his wOBA is at .341.  He’s in line for a nice night tonight.  With Perez, we have someone who has historically done really well vs. lefties.  The power numbers are a bit down for him vs. lefties this season but he still has a respectable .154 ISO vs. them.  Other bats I like here tonight will be Maikel Garcia, Edward Oliveras, and Matt Duffy.  All 3 have decent numbers vs. southpaws.

Other stacks to look at tonight will be the Nationals vs. Ryan Weathers, Padres vs. Trevor Williams, and Baltimore Orioles vs. Nestor Cortes.  Cortes is not the same pitcher we saw in 2022 and should struggle against a very good Orioles lineup tonight.

MLB DFS Summary

This slate is packed with stacks that should do well.  Pitching is suspect but I do really like both Senga and Miller tonight to have solid outings.

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Aces and Bases.  Today we have a nice sized 12 game slate of MLB DFS on Fanduel to navigate through. 

My goal today will be to walk you through my 3 favorite pitchers and 3 favorite stacks on the day. 

Let’s dig in to today’s slates!

MLB DFS: The Aces

Blake Snell ($10.1k) vs. Los Angeles Angels – Blake Snell is on a heater right now and I want to join the ride.  Over the last month Snell has an insane 41% K rate.  He’s reached 9 K’s or more in 3 of his last 4 outings.  With a match up against a struggling Angels lineup I just don’t see how the momentum gets stopped. 

Over the last week the Angels have struck out almost 28% of the time.  Snell’s main strike out pitch is his slider.  Outside of Fletcher and Adell this is a pitch that the Angels struggle with as the majority of the lineup tonight have whiff rates over 28%. 

The strike outs are going to be there for Snell tonight.  It’s just going to be a matter of how long the Padres let him stay out there. 

Gerrit Cole ($11.3k) vs. Toronto Blue Jays – Another pitcher in peak form is Gerrit Cole.  Cole, just like Snell, has a K rate over 40% over the past month.  Gone are his struggles post spider tack. 

Cole has 4 consecutive outings with 46 or more FD points and that’s probably his floor again tonight.  While the match up against a strong Blue Jays lineup is going to be tough, Cole is an ace.  If we dig in to pitch data Cole has a chance of a solid game tonight. 

While he throws his fastball around 47% of the time he normally uses his slider to strike batters out.  If we look at the Blue Jays lineup we can see it’s a pitch they struggle with.  Only Dickerson has a whiff rate less than 30%.  If Cole’s slider is on tonight he has the chance to get closer to his ceiling than floor.  

Logan Webb ($9.7k) vs. Colorado Rockies – I don’t often use pitchers in Colorado but Webb has been lights out and his profile sets up well to have success in Coors.  Webb is an extreme ground ball pitcher and if you want to use a pitcher in Coors that’s the type you’d want to pick. 

Over the past month Webb has been dominant with a 31.7% K rate, a 2.24 xFIP, and a 64% ground ball rate.  He’s given up just 4 barrels and 1 home run in 33 innings of work over that period. Love Webb’s chances to have a ceiling game tonight. Webb is my high risk/high reward pitcher tonight.  

MLB DFS: The Bats

Kansas City Royals vs. Alex Wells – While the Royals disappointed a bit yesterday we need to go right back to the well today as they get a great match up vs. Wells.  Wells on the year hasn’t been good as he has a near 6 xFIP. 

It’s been pretty limited as he hasn’t been up in the Majors much this year but there’s been a reason for that.  His biggest weakness has been against righties.  They have a .250 ISO against him this year and a sub 10% K rate. 

With the Royals we have a few guys that I really want and it will all start with Salvador Perez ($3.9k).  Over the past 30 days he’s been crushing lefties with a .323 ISO.  He’s also in the zone right now as he had a great past week.  Over the last 7 days he has 3 homers to go with his 50% hard hit rate. 

Other guys I want here are Mondesi ($3.9k) and Olivares ($2k).  Mondesi because he’s always a threat to either hit a homer or steal a base and Olivares because he’s min priced in just a great a hitting environment.  He really opens up a ton of salary for us today if he cracks the lineup.  

San Francisco Giants vs. Chi Chi Gonzalez – I often try to not use one of my 3 recommended stacks on a team in Coors but when the match up is what it is, I just can’t ignore it.  The Giants get to take on one of my favorite punching bags in Gonzalez. 

On the year Gonzalez has been brutal.  He owns a 5.57 xFIP and a measly 13% K rate.  Batters have been teeing off on him with a  45% hard hit rate.  He’s someone we should always consider stacking against him and that’s what I plan on doing tonight. 

Gonzalez is typically much worse against righties so I’m going to build this stack around Bryant ($4.1k) assuming he’s back in the lineup tonight.  While he’s been a bit cold of late there’s no better remedy for a slump than Gonzalez. 

Other guys I’ll want here are LaMonte Wade ($3.4k) and Brandon Belt ($3.3k).  Both guys are criminally underpriced considering the match up and environment.  Also, both guys have been really solid against righties over the past month with ISO’s over .220 for both of them.  Giants should put up a big number tonight and I want to be a part of it.  

Chicago White Sox vs. James Kaprielian – White Sox get a great match up tonight vs. a pitcher in Kap that’s really been struggling.  Over the past 30 days Kap is pitching to a 6.16 xFIP. He’s really been getting hurt by the long ball as he’s given up 6 in his 25 innings of work. 

This is going to be a tough match up for him tonight as he’s a fly ball pitcher going against a fly ball team.  Kap’s biggest struggles of late have come against lefties as they have a .340 ISO and .435 wOBA against him over the past 30 days. 

My foundation with the White Sox is going to be Gavin Sheets ($2.1k).  He’s not a guarantee to crack the lineup but if he does he’s a lock for me tonight.  He’s cheap and hits for power vs. righties. 

Other guys I’ll want to include here are Yasmani Grandal ($3.6k), Eloy Jimenez ($3.5k), and Jose Abreu ($4.1k).  These 3 have been crushing the ball over the past month and should have no issues with Kap tonight. 

MLB DFS: The Wrap Up

My pitching tonight will focused on the 3 names I mentioned, with Snell being the leading candidate to make my lineup.  My main core of bats will be the Royals and I’ll be sure to sprinkle in some Giants and Sox.  There’s going to be a ton of offense tonight. After Cole and Snell we really see sharp drop off in pitching. 

Good luck and hope to see you in the green!

Welcome to the Thursday edition of Aces and Bases.  Today we have an 8 game main slate of MLB DFS to navigate through on Fanduel. 

My write up today will consist only of tonight’s main slate and is tailored to GPP’s.  We have what’s shaping up to be a pitcher’s duel out west in San Diego and some really nice hitting targets. 

With that being said, let’s dig in to today’s slates!

MLB DFS: The Aces

Lance Lynn ($11k) vs. Detroit Tigers – The Tigers have been playing much better ball of late.  It’s still not an overly imposing offense and when I have a pitcher like Lynn on the mound I’m going to attack them. 

The projected lineup that Lynn is expected to face off against tonight has a 25% K rate and just a .120 ISO.  Lynn has a very good chance of overpowering this lineup and that’s exactly what I think he’s going to do.  He’s pricier than he’s been for a while but this matchup presents an upside opportunity for him. 

Yu Darvish ($11.5k) vs. New York Mets – My Mets have somehow held on to first with a patched together offense over the past few weeks.  They lost one of their hottest bats yesterday to a hammy injury in Jonathan Villar.  If he sits I like this play even more. 

Darvish’s main pitch type is his cutter as he throws it more than 38% of the time to both righties and lefties.  This is a pitch the Mets have struggled with as only Lindor and Pillar have whiff rates less than 30% over the past few years.  This has the makings of a long night for the Mets.

Griffin Canning ($8.4k) vs. Seattle Mariners – Pitching isn’t very deep tonight.  After the top 2 guys, and maybe Taijuan Walker, there really aren’t many options I’m in love with tonight.  Thankfully, we have the Mariners to pick on. 

Can the Mariners have a random good game at any point?  Yes, they certainly can.  But the chances of them having a poor game are far greater than them having a good game. 

Canning already faced this team once this year striking out 9 in only 5 innings of work.  The Mariners on the year just aren’t doing much damage with .649 OPS and .287 wOBA to righties.  A guy like Canning is never a sure a thing, but there’s a good chance of Canning have a solid performance against a bad Mariners team.    

MLB DFS: The Bats

Kansas City Royals vs. J.A. Happ – I make it a point to attack Happ any chance I get.  Especially with a right handed lineup like the Royals.  To righties this year, Happ has given up a 46% fly ball rate and a 35% hard hit rate.  It is a recipe for disaster for him. 

I’m going to be prioritizing the usual suspects in this lineup. Whitt Merrifield ($3.2k)Carlos Santana ($3.5k), and Salvador Perez ($2.9k) all have a long history of success vs. lefties and with a gas can of a lefty on the hill tonight, they should feast.  If he’s in the cleanup spot tonight, Edward Olivares ($2k) makes a fine addition to complete this stack.  

Miami Marlins vs. Tyler Anderson – This is far from a sexy pic, but I really like the matchup here.  Anderson has really struggled against righties this year and he’s facing a lineup that has a lot of power (and K ability) against lefties. 

On the year Anderson is giving up a 41% fly ball rate, a .231 ISO,  and a 40% hard hit rate to right handed bats.  Starling Marte ($3.5k), Jesus Aguilar ($2.7k)Garrett Cooper ($2.5k), and Adam Duvall ($2.8k) all have ISO’s north of .200 this year against lefties. 

This team very well could K a bunch of times tonight, but I have no doubt they’ll also mix in some homers.  Far from a safe stack, but there’s a good chance they go overlooked tonight.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Seth Frankoff – If Frankoff ultimately gets the nod tonight, I really like this spot for the Brewers.  The Brew Crew have been playing much better ball of late.  They finally have a healthy Yelich and the WillY Adames trade has so far really worked out for them. 

Frankoff on the year has not been good.  He has a 7.02 xFIP and a low K rate of 16%.  I’m going to focus on the lefties of Milwaukee as that’s where Frankoff’s sweet spot is as he’s giving up a 62% ground ball rate to righties.  Against lefties he’s giving up a 41% fly ball rate and a .286 ISO. 

The Brewers will most likely throw out 3 lefties at the top of the order tonight with Kolten Wong ($3k)Daniel Vogelbach ($2.1k), and Christian Yelich ($3.9k)

MLB DFS: The Wrap Up

This is going to be a challenging slate.  We have a couple of top arms, 1 carries risk as he’s facing a first place team that has been pretty solid over the first couple of months even though they’ve been missing major pieces.  We also don’t have the usual power house offenses.  That said, it should be fun. 

Good luck today and tonight and hope to see you in the green!

Welcome to the first Sunday of the 2021 baseball season. For those celebrating Easter, Happy Easter! For those celebrating Passover, we made it!

The focus today will be on Fanduel’s main slate which cuts off right before the Dodgers/Rockies game. So yes, we have a non Coors main slate to look forward to.

Today’s slate is void of aces. In looking at pitching, there’s no definitive path to success. There are a couple of pitchers that are ‘pretty good’, but not entirely safe. Then there are pitchers that are going to be high risk/high reward. I’m going high risk/high reward today. I’m feeling frisky!

Let’s dig in to today’s slate!

MLB DFS: The ‘Aces’

The first pitcher I’m looking at today comes with some risk. Ian Anderson ($9k) faces off against a tough Phillies lineup. Anderson pitched to a 1.95 ERA last year which was a run and a half better than his xFIP. Although a 3.45 xFIP is good, you can’t expect to Anderson to perform as well as he did last year. He did have a k/9 of 11.41, which of all the pitchers going today would rank numero uno. 3 factors have me leaning towards Anderson. a 52.5% GB rate, a 27.5% FB rate, and a 25.90% hard hit rate last year. Those numbers combined can help and did help him limit damage. Not the safest play, but I am a fan.

The next pitcher I’m looking at is Michael Pineda ($7.3K). You know exactly what you’re getting with Pineda at this point in his career. Someone that’s going to limit damage, but not rack up a bunch of k’s. Pineda only threw 26 innings last year. In that short sample he kept hitters to a 23.2% hard hit rate and he did it by getting them to chase with a chase rate of 39%. He had a k rate 8.44/9 so there’s limited upside. But on a day where there just isn’t much in the way of pitching, sometimes you have to play it safe. This Brewers lineup is not the same lineup it was a couple of years ago. After Yelich, there just isn’t much.

The final pitcher I’m going to recommend is Tarik Skubal ($6k). Here’s my high risk/high reward play. Last season he pitched to a 10.41 k/9. He did this by throwing gas last year. This off-season he added some new pitches to his repertoire. He is a fly ball pitcher so be a little cautious. He had a 54% fb rate last year. With that being said though, the Indians lineup is watered down. You have Ramirez and then not much.

MLB DFS: The Bases

Of the 8 games in today’s main slate, 3 have an implied total greater than 5. One of those teams I’m going to eliminate from my thought process as I just don’t see the Red Sox being able to do that much damage. Their lineup just isn’t very good and we have seen what Means and Harvey did to them the last couple of days. This could very well bight me as Bruce Zimmermann was brutal last year. But until the Red Sox can prove they can hit, I’m staying clear.

The first team I’m looking to stack today are the Royals. Jordan Lyles was horrific last year. He pitched to a 5.92 xFIP and had a swinging strike rate of 6.7%. He doesn’t miss many bats. I’m going 1-3 here, maybe 1-5 depending on how the lineup shakes out today. Merrifield ($4k), Benintendi ($2.9k), and Santana ($3.3k). Do keep an eye on the lineup though as Benintendi did leave the game early yesterday.

The next spot is the good ole Bronx. The Blue Jays are giving TJ Zeuch a spot start today. Although he is predominantly a ground ball pitcher, he doesn’t miss many at bats. He’s got low k stuff. Not missing many at bats is normally a recipe for disaster against a tough lineup like the Yankees. Judge ($4k), Hicks ($3.2K), Stanton ($3.8K), and Torres ($3.8k) is where I’m leaning with this stack.

My final stack recommendation is the Cardinals. Jeff Hoffman was bad last year. He pitched to a 5.39 xFIP. He had a FB rate of almost 39%. And a hard hit rate of almost 43%. Feel confident in rolling with Arenado ($3.8k) and Goldschmidt ($4k). Both have career woba’s of over .368 against right handed pitching. Cardinals fans are going to have a great summer with these 2.

MLB DFS Sunday Funday Summary

Keep an eye on Wrigley. There’s currently no line on the game and that could be due to the winds. If it’s blowing out, load em up. If it’s blowing in, consider looking towards Zach Davies as one of your pitchers.

While I think every slate is fun, this slate has the makings of a super fun slate. This is a slate where offense will reign supreme.

Good luck and hope to see you at the top of the leaderboards!

If you’ve been reading Cash with the Flash Best Bets each day, you already know that readers of this daily column make money. Some say Cash with the Flash best bets prints money; with a Win Daily record of 27-11 and if you wagered 100 dollars on each pick, you’d be up about $1400 dollars or so.

I wouldn’tcall it printing money, by its not too shabby either.

Losing sucks and yesterday wasn’t a good day for Cash with the Flash Best Bets. Julia Goerges blew a couple of breakpoints in sets two and three, Alexander Zverev never really showed up in his match with Diego Schwartzman and the Notre Dame defense didn’t show up in the first half and failed to cover the 18.5 we had to lay.

Cash with the Flash best bets failed yesterday and I’m not worried about this one teeny, tiny bit and neither should you.

I’ve been publicly handicapping long before Cash with the Flash Best Bets and have a record of 680-538-80. Wagering $100 dollars on every pick I made would have profited anywhere from $10,000-13,500 bucks since January 1, 2019.

That recordincludes NCAA Hoops, NBA Basketball, NHL Hockey and MLB sprinkled in with someNCAA Football and NFL preseason football.  

That’s why I’mnot worried about a couple of bad beats on a Monday night in September, andneither should you.

Anyone who tells you they win “all the time” isn’t being truthful. Sustained excellence matters to me and it should matter to you and Cash with the Flash best bets is all about sustained excellence.

The most important thing to remember is this; sports betting is a marathon, not a sprint. Managing your bankroll and having the discipline in knowing when to go big and when to go home is paramount to success. Cash with the Flash Best Bets is here to help you do just that.

Cincinnati Reds(-130) over PhiladelphiaPhillies (+110)

Two Units

Phillysmacked the Reds on Monday by a score of 7-1 and I don’t see this happeningTuesday. Cincinnati is 37-32 at Great American Ball Park and Philadelphia is 30-34this season away from Citizens Bank Park. The Reds will throw righty Lucas Sims and thePhillies will counter with right-hander VinceVelasquez.

Velasquez is4-5 with a 5.31 ERA over 59.1 innings away from Citizens Bank Park. His 5.18xFIP away from home concerns me and especially against a Reds team with a .194ISO and .320 wOBA against right-handed pitching. Keep in mind Cincinnati alsostrikes out in 23 percent of its at-bats against righties with Velasquezfanning 9.40 hitters per nine innings pitched.

Sims is 2-0with a 3.32 ERA over 19 innings pitched at Great American Ball Park and his4.58 xFIP suggests maybe some regression is headed his way. The Phillies powerbats have a .183 ISO and .323 wOBA is concerning but Sims is a fireballer with 11.91strikeouts per nine at home against the Phillies and their 21.8 percentstrikeout rate against righties this season.

Your Cash with the Flash best bets suggests playing the Reds on Tuesday night.

Kansas CityRoyals (-129)over DetroitTigers (+117)

Two Units

The Tigers have the worst team in baseball and the worst road record in the American League. Kansas City isn’t much better and boasts a 27-43 record at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City is also riding a two-game winning streak entering Tuesday night. The Tigers will start lefty Daniel Norris and the Royals will counter with southpaw Mike Montgomery.

These aretwo bottom five offenses against left-handed pitching this season and both havestrikeout rates over 23.5 percent. Detroit has scored an American League worst109 runs with 26 bombs against lefties this season; Kansas City isn’t muchbetter with 166 runs and 39 bombs against southpaws this season.

Montgomeryhas allowed one earned run over his last 12.1 innings pitched at KauffmanStadium and a 2.06 ERA and 4.16 xFIP over 35 innings pitched at home thisseason. Montgomery strikes out 6.17 per nine innings pitched and that shouldcome in handy against the Tigers 25 percent strikeout rate this season againstsouthpaws.

Norris hasallowed two earned runs over his last 11 innings pitched away from ComericaPark and this season has posted a 4.35 ERA and 4.54 xFIP over 78.2 inningspitched this season. Norris strikes out 8.12 per nine and that could work wellagainst the Royals 23.5 percent strikeout rate against lefties this season.

Your Cash with the Flash best bets suggests Kansas City at -129 on Tuesday night.

This Sunday September 1st slate is all about landing the right bats. Follow my stud 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.

Todays picks are listed in order of preference, not price.

David Jones won 100K on FanDuel! Read about it here!

Catcher: UPDATE: NOT STARTING Mitch Garver ($3,300 FD) has five hits and three home runs in his last two games. He is slashing .429/ 1.143 ISO over the last seven days. He takes on the Detroit Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull and his deceptive 4.18 ERA. As the season has progressed, Turnbull has gotten less reliable. In August he touts a 6.55 ERA. He has given up at least one (usually more) runs in every game he has pitched in since June 11th. In his last eight innings he has given up nine runs. Garver is in a fantastic MLB DFS spot to keep his elite run alive.

Catcher Value: Jason Castro, Robinson Chirinos

First Base: Yuli Gurriel ($3,700 FD) Here is a reasonably priced Astro for MLB DFS. Gurriel is hitting .247 ISO/.386 wOBA with 22 homers vs righties. He is En Fuego right now and on a nine game hit streak. He should be batting sixth behind five fantastic Astro bats. Gurriel should easily be able to reach double digit FanDuel points today with upside for over 20 if he can send one over the wall. Spoiler alert; he can.

First Base Pivot: UPDATE NOT STARTING: Mike Ford, Matt Olsen

Second Base: Whit Merrifield ($3,400 FD) is my favorite second baseman to exceed MLB DFS value today. He is underpriced and gets and fantastic matchup vs one of my favorite pitchers to target in Aaron Brooks (and the Baltimore Bullpen). Brooks has a 5.79 ERA and gets blown up almost every game he pitches in. Throw out his last start in Washington where he shutout the Nats. I watched that whole game and I blame the Nationals lack of enthusiasm more than Brooks suddenly “figuring it out”. Before last game, Brooks has only scoring over 31 fantasy points ONE TIME since April Fools Day (not joking). Royals are my favorite stack on the day and Whit is going to help lead the charge.

Second Base Pivot: Jose Altuve

Third Base: DJ LaMahieu ($4,200 FD) is on a hot streak with multiple hits in four of his last six games. He hits .286 ISO/.477 wOBA on the season vs lefties and gets to face Sean Manaea this afternoon in Yankee Stadium. Manaea is coming off the 60 day IL after shoulder surgery and I wouldn’t expect him to last six innings here. He has looked sharp in is rehab starts in Triple-A but facing this bomb hitting Yankees squad will be a much different task. LaMahieu should be batting lead off and has not put up a goose egg in his last eight starts. He feels safe with big MLB DFS upside today.

Third Base Pivot: Miguel Sano, Hunter Dozier, Matt Chapman

Shortstop: Alex Bregman ($4,200 FD) I really like the Astros today but the price of all the bats is making it difficult to stack them. He hits .259 ISO/.395 wOBA with 21 home runs. He is batting cleanup and no matter which pitcher Toronto chooses to follow Font (Gaviglio or Godley), Bregman is a solid play at shortstop. He is always contributing. Bregman has not put up a zero in the box score since August 2nd. That alone is impressive. He is safe.

Shortstop Pivots: Adalberto Mondesi, Trea Turner, Marcus Semien

Outfield: Aaron Judge ($4,400 FD) is possibly the hottest hitter in baseball right now. He has a home run in six of his last eight games. He is absolutely locked in. He faces Sean Manaea in his first start since his shoulder surgery. Manaea is not a terrible pitcher but Judge is an elite bat that should be able to take advantage of him, AND the Oakland A’s bullpen. Lock in Judge and figure the rest out.

Outfield: Max Kepler ($3,500 FD) is way to cheap on FanDuel. He should easily be priced over 4K today. He has 26 home runs on the season vs righties and hits .293 ISO/.359 wOBA. He has multiple hits in his last two games in Detroit and at minimum he is getting on base again. The Twins as a team have put up 30 runs combined in their last three games. Today they keep their foot on the gas and Kepler gets his.

Outfield: Jorge Soler ($3,500 FD) is hitting .303 ISO/.373 wOBA vs righties this season and has 33 homers. He goes against my fave pitcher to target in MLB DFS, Aaron Brooks. Easy choice, especially at that price.

Outfield Pivots: Houston Outfield (Springer, Alvarez, Brantley)

I primary used FanDuel when building optimal MLB DFS lineups.
