MLB 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks: Clayton, Lucas & 28 Other Arms 5 years ago written by Clayton Kershaw! Lucas Giolito!Crickets. Lots of crickets.The 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks — outside of the two aces — is awful thin, with a handful of maybes, perhaps and goodness no. Four teams are so disjointed that, as of late Thursday night, TBD was listed in their Friday slate. Ouch.Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!Wanna catch my DFS musings on Twitter? Follow me here!9/6 DFS Pitching Picks – Cash Game PitchersClayton Kershaw, LAD vs. SFDK ($11,700), FD ($11,500) We all have bad days, and Kershaw sure as heck had one in his last start. After 10 straight starts with at least 30 FanDuel points, Kershaw had just 18 points in a sluggish five-inning stint against the Padres. Not to worry, though: the Giants come to Chavez Ravine, and that’s good news for Kershaw and your wallet.Kershaw has a 1.29 ERA against the Giants this season, holding them to a .180 batting average. His strikeout rate is less than a batter per inning against them, but he’s at 9.56 K/9 overall this season and is on track for a seventh straight season of less than two walks per nine frames. He’s almost money in the bank considering he’s had just three starts this season with 26 or fewer FanDuel points. It’s also nifty that Kershaw is catching a Giants team hitting a collective .243/.283/.407 over the past week, averaging less than four runs per game. I’m not one to tell grown people what to do with their money and lineups, but…Lucas Giolito, CWS vs. LAADK ($17,700), FD ($10,500) Giolito enters tonight bidding for a 10th straight game of at least seven strikeouts. He’s gone exactly six innings in five of those starts, so he’s fanning well over a batter per inning. Post All-Star Break, Giolito has whiffed 90 batters over 63.2 innings, but his 11.55 K/9 overall is probably going to net him no better than third place in the AL Cy Young Award race. I’d be even more enthused if Giolito was pitching on the road, but he’s still making batters miss at a steady clip. Adding 1.8 mph to your heater can do wonders, as Giolito can attest, having gone from 92.4 mph in 2018 to 94.2 this season. What’s also enhanced his breakout is the huge increase of faith in his change-up, going from 15.9% usage last year to 25.9% currently. Like Kershaw, Giolito will benefit from facing an Angels team in an extended funk, hitting a composite .219/.312/.373 over the past two weeks. The numbers are worse when the Angels face power pitchers like Giolito, managing a paltry .225/.323/.385 slash. All systems are go if you like Giolito and/or want to go against the grain from those using Kershaw.Tired of losing money on your DFS and Sportsbook? Sign up today and become a winner while turning your passion for sports into a second stream of income!9/6 DFS Pitching Picks – GPP PitchersDinelson Lamet, SD vs. COLDK ($10,700), FD ($8,200)The best of a thin crop of arms on the slate of 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks, Lamet is striking out 31.7% of opposing batters and comes off a 10-K effort against the Giants. Lamet struggled after returning from Tommy John surgery, but he’s allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts along with allowing just three homers in his last seven outings after giving up five in his first three starts. Colorado’s lineup has seen Lamet’s handiwork firsthand, as he struck out seven Rockies over five innings in an August 11 start.Lamet has put up at least 30 FanDuel points in three of his last four starts, including a season-best 67 at the Mariners on August 6. Because of his high strikeout rate, Padres infielders are busy just 34.1% of the time when Lamet is on the hill. The strikeouts also bolster Lamet’s modest 35.2% hard contact rate and is somewhat nullified by his 72.7% strand rate. Lamet looks even better when looking at the Rockies’ road numbers, especially the 70-point dip in batting average (.303 at home, .233 away) and a .203 free fall in OPS (.885 home, .603 road). Be it ever so humble…Patrick Corbin, WAS at ATLDK ($11,100), FD ($11,100)I’ll give Corbin the slight edge over mound opponent Dallas Keuchel in what will be the series (sorry Yankees-Red Sox) of the weekend. Corbin has five straight starts of at least 40 points on FanDuel, but the only reason he’s not a cash game pitcher is well…the Braves are bit more productive than the Giants or Angels. Corbin is striking out 10.36 batters per nine innings and his 35% hard contact rate — along with a 33.6% fly ball rate — is a big reason why he’s got a 0.98 HR/9 rate. Corbin is on a Giolito-like strikeout run, fanning at least seven hitters in eight of his last 10 starts despite going more than six innings just twice in that span. The next Atlanta hitter to take him deep this season will be the first, as he’s kept the ball in the yard against them while striking out 13 over 11 innings versus the NL East leaders. The 28.4% K rate is strong, but it’s too much of a risk to go with Corbin in a cash format.Robby Ray, ARI at CINDK ($8,900), FD ($9,100)He’s been up and down since a solid July and is risky on the road at Great American Ball Park. Ray is averaging 11.78 K/9 but the 4.14 BB/9 could be the match into the gas can with this Reds lineup. Ray is sporting a 1.48 HR/9 rate this season, which kinda falls as average with the way the ball is flying out. A 42.4% hard contact rate falls into the dangerous category in a hitter-friendly park and a host of lumber capable of chasing Ray to an early exit.Ray put up a modest 27 FanDuel points in his last start, but he’s been as high as 49 points and as low as nine in his past six outings. Somewhere, the truth lies in between, and I’d consider finding where that middle exists if you’re interested in playing more offense rather than paying for Kershaw or Giolito.9/6 DFS Pitching Picks – Punt PickZach Eflin, PHI at NYMDK ($12,000), FD ($6,000)If you believe in the healing powers of the sinker, then Eflin might be worth your attention among the 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks. He’s started using it more over the past two outings, and wouldn’t ya know? Bah Gawd, it works. Eflin has allowed just two runs over 13 innings but with only five strikeouts to show for his efforts, Eflin’s appeal will be limited. However, he’s put up starts of 28 and 31 FanDuel points, numbers that would climb if he missed a few more bats. He’s still not walking many batters (2.47 BB/9) and his 14/5% HR/FB rate is pretty acceptable. Sign up and get started with WinDailySports! We have your sport and the experts to help make you money.

MLBDaily Fantasy Sports 8/11 DFS Pitching Picks: A Good Day For Arm Wrestling 5 years ago written by Unlike Saturday’s slate, the Sunday 8/11 DFS pitching schedule brings good tidings for those who seeking top end pitchers. All three formats are well-stocked with options, including a sleeper or two that has a chance to deliver surprise numbers.Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!Check me out on Twitter @BCWilliams718/11 DFS Pitching Cash Game Pitchers Jacob deGrom, NYM vs. WSHDK ($11,600) FD ($11,700) deGrom has fattened the wallets of many over his last 15 starts, scoring at least 40 FanDuel points 11 times, with his 49 point effort in his previous start against the Marlins leaving him a point shy of four straight starts with at least 50 points. Obviously, starting deGrom as your SP1 will impact the coin you’ll spend on offense, but when you’re getting 11.45 K/9 with just 2.2 BB/9 while keeping the ball in the yard, you’ll spend it and do so smiling. deGrom sets the pace by hitting first pitch strikes at 66.5% and is still putting up good numbers despite not maintaining the off-the-charts pace he had in 2018.Most pitchers will take a 4.9 WAR a this point of the season, but that — along with a RAR of 43.3 — is what deGrom carries into this contest. He’s more dominant at home in Citi Field, where deGrom has struck out 84 batters over 68 innings at home with a 3.18 ERA. He’s more unforgiving to the Nationals, holding them to an 0.75 ERA while putting together an 18:4 K/BB rate and a composite .167 allowed against them.Justin Verlander, HOU at BALDK ($12,400) FD ($12,500) Most will consider deGrom the better play, but you can’t fault anyone plugging Verlander as their SP1. JV has four straight starts of at least 58 FanDuel points and faces a Baltimore lineup bereft of quality in its lineup, a huge reason they are 24th in OPS and 25th in wRAA. He’s pushing for a second straight season of striking out at least 35% of opponents, and he’s still a legit Cy Young award candidate despite a rise in hard contact rate (40.8%) and an elevated HR/9 rate (1.68).deGrom gets the edge because of his track record against the Nationals, but Verlander has won seven of his last eight starts and is on a four-start stretch of at least 10 strikeouts. I think you’ll get another 10-K from Verlander and another win that would give him a sixth straight win.8/11 DFS GPP PlaysMike Minor, TEX at MILDK ($9,600) FD ($9,200) Minor hit some major turbulence in mid-July but has won his last two starts, including seven shutout innings against the Indians on Monday. One could say that Minor is having a career year, as his 31.3 RAR has already eclipsed the 29.6 RAR he recorded as a member of the Braves in 2012. He’s been inconsistent when it comes to FanDuel reduction, as his 28.95 FD points were his best output since scoring 34.55 FD against the Tigers on June 26.The Brewers are hitting a combined .252/.312/.403 this month and are paying dearly for their all or nothing at all mindset, striking out 85 times in eight games. There is good potential for Minor to be able to exploit Milwaukee’s loss of Christian Yelich, who remains sidelined with back woes.Lucas Giolito, CWS vs. OAKDK ($10,600) FD ($9.800)Giolito has at least 43 FanDuel points in three of his last four starts and has shaken off the 9 points he produced at FD against the Cubs on July 6. He’s approaching 11 strikeouts per nine innings (10.86 K/9 to date). Giolito has continued to keep opposing batters from making max impact against him (30.9% hard contact rate) and has avoided the long ball despite a 41.1% fly ball rate.This shapes to a good matchup for Giolito, as the Athletics have seen their bats go .233/.340/.454 over the past week. Oakland’s longball or bust mentality will work agains them considering Giolito allows opposing bats to hit just .203 against him at home this season while he’s delivered 70 strikeouts over 59.1 innings. What keeps Giolito from being a cash pitcher is the uncertainty that the A’s bats get dialed in early and catch Giolito off-balance.8/11 DFS Punt PlaysJakob Junis, KC at DETDK ($7,900) FD ($8,600) Junis comes off a 37 FanDuel point outing against the Red Sox and already has starts of 37 and 34 points against the Tigers this season. There is sneaky good strikeout potential in Junis, who averages 8.46 K/9 to go along with a slightly above league average 3.12 BB/9. The Tigers’ lineup won’t be able to fully exploit Junis’ weakness (his 1.56 HR/9 rate), this despite the fact the Royals hurler sports a 42.4% hard contact rate. There’s a chance the Tigers might get one off him, but I think Junis is capable of setting the pace early with strikeouts before getting the Detroit bats to induce ground balls as a steady clip. This is a good pairing if you’re looking to go with deGrom or Verlander in a cash league or even Giolito in a PPS format.Monkey Knife Fight Pitching PropsFor my debut in MKF, I’ll go Astros-Orioles and take the shot on Asher Wojciehowski lasting long enough to get the over on strikeouts before Houston’s lineup sends him to an early exit. 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLB 8/5 MLB DFS Pitching Picks Capper Steve 5 years ago written by Capper Steve This is a day where paying up for pitcher is a necessity for me. The low priced options in 8/5 MLB DFS Pitching are ugly and the mid tier guys aren’t much better. I see two studs at the top I LOVE and I dug out one low option, as well as one mid-ranger in case we’re feeling froggy.8/5 MLB DFS Pitching Stud: Lucas Giolito @ Detroit TigersDraftKings – $11,000, FanDuel- $9,800Giolito returned to form last time out against the New York Mets, going seven innings and striking out nine batters. This turn he gets the putrid Detroit Tigers, who traded away their best hitter at the deadline. On the road this season is where Giolito shines even more. He holds a 2.76 ERA and an 11.02 K/9. There is not one player on the Tigers that worries me so I will lock in Giolito in all formats in 8/5 MLB DFS Pitching.8/5 MLB DFS Pitching Mid_Ranger: Jeff Samardzija vs Washington NationalsDraftKings – $8,700, FanDuel – $8,600I never once thought I would say his name this season, but here we are. The Shark has been pretty solid fantasy wise this season and we get a huge park boost playing in San Francisco. At home he holds a 3.67 ERA and a 8.17 K/9. This will be one of my GPP mid-tier guys here as he has eclipsed or been near 25 points 5 times this season.8/5 MLB DFS Pitching Stud 2: Charlie Morton vs Toronto Blue JaysDraftKings – $10,700, FanDuel – $10,100The Blue Jays are exciting to watch, they have a ton of young talent coming up and they are explosive. That being said, they are still young and inexperienced. Charlie Morton is a vet that knows how to slice and dice the opposing batters. This season at home Morton owns a 2.77 ERA and a staggering 12.55 K/9. The Blue Jays are young and it shows. They strike out a ton and I don’t see why Morton can’t be the highest scoring pitcher.8/5 MLB DFS Pitching Value Play: Spencer Turnbull vs Chicago White SoxDraftKings – $7,000, FanDuel – $6,600Fresh off the IL we get Turnbull heading to Chicago to play the White Sox. Over the weekend we saw the White Sox strike out 38 times. Turnbull has the ability to rack up the strikeouts and that’s what I expect here. Against right handed bats he has a 9.48 K/9 and a 52.3% ground ball rate. I expect a ton of strikeouts and ground balls to go with the numbers. I love Turnbull as a punt for cash and a cheap GPP option with upside. 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

MLB 7/25 MLB DFS Pitching Picks Jared Contestabile 5 years ago written by Jared Contestabile It is a shorter slate tonight and not a lot of names that stand out among 7/25 MLB DFS Pitching Picks. But here are three that certainly stand out among some mediocrity.Jose Berrios @ Chicago White SoxDraftKings – $10,600, FanDuel – $9,300The White Sox have been horrible this week and as recently as last night they just got shut out by Zac Gallen and company. Jose Berrios has been a pitcher who thrives at Target Field and struggles everywhere else. I’ll take his immense talent and ignore what I just said. On the road this season Berrios holds a 7.58 K/9 and a 41% ground ball rate. With the White Sox completely struggling to make contact I think Berrios has the most upside on the 7/25 MLB DFS Pitching slate by far. An all format lock for me.Lucas Giolito vs Minnesota TwinsDraftKings – $10,900, FanDuel – $9,100This will be my 7/25 MLB DFS Pitching pivot suggestion off of Berrios. Giolito is not a main option for me because the Twins ability to pop off at any moment is up there with the best teams in the league. The thing that intrigues me with Giolito is how good he is against left handed bats. He holds a .176 BAA and a 10.13 K/9 with a .232 wOBA. The Twins are very dangerous, but Giolito has shown his upside this year and is finally looking like the prospect we all believed in.Adam Plutko @ Kansas City RoyalsDraftKings – $6,000, FanDuel – $7,100Plutko is not a good pitcher by any means, but he did just face these Royals and completely shut them down. He only gave up two hits with one earned run and unfortunately took a loss. The Royals are scuffling hard and I don’t see why Plutko can’t toss a repeat performance. His strikeout numbers aren’t great, but against right handed bats he has 7.13 K/9 and for a 7/25 MLB DFS Pitching cheap for my SP2 I’ll take a handful of strikeouts. His numbers aren’t anything to get excited about, but this is just a pure target of the Royals.

MLB Stack Report for MLB Main Slate: Winning Edge for July 15 5 years ago written by This report will provide recommended DFS stacks for today’s 10-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks. **All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 5-6 PM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer we get to the postseason.Cleveland Indians Stackvs. LHP Daniel Norris (DET): 6.30 RunsDaniel Norris takes the mound in Cleveland this evening. He carries a 4.96 ERA, 4.62 FIP, and 4.71 ERA into tonight’s matchup. We get a nice little recipe here with his reverse splits. Left handed batters are slashing to a .367 wOBA, .540 SLG, and .343 OBP across 16 innings pitched. He has allowed 13 runs in that short span. His 40% hard contact rate and 40% pull rate combined with his shakiness to lefties can make for some easy liners to right field. Norris racked up eight strikeouts but gave up six earned runs in his last meeting with Cleveland. Cleveland batters are hitting below their season averages this month, slashing to a .309 wOBA, .154 ISO, and 88 WRC+. These numbers aren’t typically what we look for but they’re in the worst part of their slump and this is a good opportunity to bust out of it. Preferred Stack: Roberto Perez ($2700 FD|$4100 DK), Jordan Luplow ($2500 FD|$3900 DK), Carlos Santana ($3800 FD|$5000 DK), and Francisco Lindor ($4000 FD|$4900 DK).Colorado Rockies Stackvs. RHP Derek Rodriguez (SFG):Dereck Rodriguez was called up from AAA as the 26th man ahead of today’s doubleheader. He carries a 5.27 ERA, 5.57 FIP, and 5.46 SIERA across 57 innings pitched into tonight’s game. He has struggled both to righties and lefties, allowing a .338 wOBA, .462 SLG, and 46% hard contact rate. The Rockies batting averages are creeping up again on this home stand and should continue to rise this evening. They are slashing to a .349 wOBA, .193 ISO, and .457 SLG against right handed pitching recently and the studs in this lineup are coming off a rest day.Preferred Stack:Charlie Blackmon ($4800 FD|$5700 DK), Daniel Murphy ($4100 FD|$5200 DK), David Dahl ($4200 FD|$5500 DK), Trevor Story ($4600 FD|$5600 DK), and Nolan Arenado ($4700 FD|$5400 DK). Every stack report in the industry is going to have the Giants and Rockies. Ownership almost always levitates to Coors, especially when you have Dereck Rodriguez (SFG) and Chi Chi Gonzalez (COL) pitching. Going to be a lot of ownership on both sides here ,so I am not writing up the Giants in detail for that purpose, but I’ve included my preferred stack if you decide to go with the masses tonight. Preferred Stack: Alex Dickerson ($3800 FD|$4800 DK), Stephen Vogt ($2700 FD|$4300 DK), Evan Longoria ($3500 FD|$5300 DK), Pablo Sandoval ($2900 FD|$4900 DK), Brandon Crawford ($3000 FD|$3900 DK), and Austin Slater ($3600 FD|$5000 DK). Los Angeles Dodgers Stackvs. RHP Zach Eflin (PHI): 5.40 Runs I imagine ownership here will be higher as well. It’s not very often we get the Dodgers so early in the evening. Zach Eflin carries a 3.78 ERA, 4.66 FIP, and 4.70 SIERA into tonight’s matchup. Left handed batters are slashing to a .357 wOBA, .544 SLG, and .333 OBP. He has allowed 22 earned runs and 11 home runs across 43 innings pitched to lefties as well. The only concern I really have with Dodgers batters here is a possible hangover from last night’s game. The Dodgers are slashing .to a 335 wOBA, .209 ISO, and 109 WRC+ vs. right handed pitching over the last month. Preferred Stack:Max Muncy ($3800 FD|$4600 DK), Alex Verdugo ($3100 FD|$4100 DK), Cody Bellinger ($4800 FD|$5100 DK), and Joc Pederson ($2600 FD|$4200 DK). Boston Red Sox Stackvs. RHP Trent Thornton (TOR): 6.25 Runs The Red Sox get another cupcake matchup against Thornton. They have faced him twice this season, his first outing in Boston when he allowed only two earned runs and a recent second outing in Toronto in which he allowed seven earned runs. This Red Sox team is hitting very well recently. They are slashing .372 wOBA, .254 ISO, and 129 WRC+. I have the same concern with the Red Sox as with the Dodgers. They played late last night but they do get the benefit at being at home. Trent Thornton has a 4.85 ERA, 4.41 FIP, and 4.75 ERA on the year. He has identical splits, allowing batters to slash to a .332 wOBA, .321 BABIP, and .444 SLG. Preferred Stack: Rafael Devers ($4100 FD|$5500 DK), Xander Bogaerts ($4400 FD|$5300 DK), Mookie Betts ($4200 FD|$4800 DK), and Christian Vazquez ($2900 FD|$4700 DK).Honorable MentionHouston Astros vs. RHP Griffin Canning (LAA): 4.90 RunsPreferred Stack: Alex Bregman ($4200 FD|$4400 DK), Yordan Alvarez ($4300 FD|$4800 DK), Michael Brantley ($3900 FD|$4000 DK), and Yuli Gurriel ($3800 FD|$4200 DK).Toronto Blue Jays vs. RHP Rick Porcello (BOS): 4.25 RunsPreferred Stack: Freddy Galvis ($3200 FD|$4300 DK), Cavan Biggio ($3700 FD|$4500 DK), Eric Sogard ($3300 FD|$4700 DK), and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($3800 FD|$5300 DK).PitchingRHP Adam Plutko vs. DET: 4.20 RunsRHP Lucas Giolito vs. KCR: 4.40 RunsLHP James Paxton vs. TAM: 4.00 RunsFollow us on Twitter! 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
