Hitting and Monkey Knife Fight Picks for 6/6: New York Groove

Alisia Gustafson
written by Alisia Gustafson

Catcher

Gary Sanchez ($4,500 FD & $5,500 DK): Last night I mentioned the Yankees right-handed bats for multiple reasons, which basically boiled down to an advantageous stadium and a right-handed pitcher that just didn’t have the ability to work through a great Yankee lineup. The same holds true tonight. Edwin Jackson is not pitching well at the moment. Yes, he’s drawn some unlucky starts like one in Coors, but he’s also seen San Francisco in one of the largest stadiums in the league. So, after four starts I think it’s safe to say Edwin Jackson has a another tough matchup that he will not have the ability to get through. Let me rattle off some stats: Jackson is 0-4 with a 13.22 ERA this season. Right-handed batters are hitting .447 against Jackson with six home runs. This is a Gary Sanchez kind of night! Do I dare say double dong potential? Sure. Lock in thes Yankee bats on this small five game slate.

First Base

Luke Voit ($4,300 FD & $4,900 DK): Voit has been boom-or-bust as of late and I think the same applies for tonight. Home run(s) or bust in this one. Playing both Sanchez and Voit is a strategy I like to implement on FanDuel because it immediately takes your UTL and first base position out of play. Most are hesitant to do this but I think it’s a good strategy to separate your Yankee stack from the pack.

Second Base

I swear after this I’m only writing up one more Yankee. I just want to be clear about who I believe should make up this Yankee stack. Along with Voit and Sanchez, D.J. LeMahieu ($3,800 FD & $4,400 DK) clearly belongs in this stack. After hitting last nights homer, he’s officially the hottest Yankee with the highest floor. Lock in LeMahieu as the third member of your Yankee stack. Keep in mind that your key decisions on a small slate aren’t necessarily what team you want to stack, but what players to include within your stack. The Yankees are favored at -195 with 10 under/over. Lock and load.

Third Base

Renato Nunez ($3,600 FD & $5,200 DK): Check out that price differential between FanDuel and DraftKings. Nunez is a great FanDuel play in a hitter’s park, facing a rookie pitcher. Simple stuff. Nunez is facing Ariel Jurado, who is allowing a .279 BA with four home runs to opposing right-handed batters, while allowing a mere .200 BA with no home runs to opposing lefties. We have ourselves some reverse splits here. Baltimore right-handed batters have the advantage over left-handed batters. Against a right-handed pitcher this is relativity rare. Lock in your Oriole righties, not lefties tonight as they set to face the Texas Rangers as slight underdogs with a 10.5 under/over.

Shortstop

Francisco Lindor ($3,900 FD & 4,800 DK): Lindor is on a tear! Recent game logs are through the roof and I don’t see Jose Berrios slowing him down. Lindor is batting .294 against Berrios in 19 at-bats. Cleveland is at EVEN odds with an 8.5 under/over. Don’t think too much here, lock him in.

Outfield

Khris Davis ($3,600 FD & $3,900 DK): Davis owns a .389 BA in 28 at-bats with two doubles and four home runs. This is consistent domination. And that’s all we’re really looking for at the end of the day, consistency.

Mike Trout ($4,800 FD & $5,700 DK): Trout is batting .381 with four doubles and two home runs in 26 at-bats vs. Mike Fiers. This is definitely a slate where a value pitcher should come into play as I want many of these expensive batters.

Cameron Maybin ($2,400 FD & $3,700 DK): The last Yankee in my four man Yankee stack for tonight. Maybin is batting .429 in 10 at-bats against Jackson. On a night where we need to find value, Maybin comes in as a solid value play with a high floor.

Monkey Knife Fight Picks of the Day

It should come as no surprise that we’ll be going to the Yankee game for this one and why not go big again for 19x our money! Let’s start with Happ. We’re going to take the OVER on 5.5 strikeouts as Toronto does swing and miss on the slider very often, not to mention Happ owns a .250 OBA against Toronto while fanning 10 of 28 faced batters for a 35 % strikeout rate, I would say that’s crazy but it is in a very small sample size so let’s not get too excited.

After selecting the OVER for Happ’s prop, we move onto Grichuk at 1.5 total bases. After hitting two home runs last night, Grichuk has homered in two straight, totaling three over his last two. We’re going to lock in the OVER for Grichuk for sure and just to save time Gary Sanchez is next and you guys know I like me some Sanchez tonight. The first three parlays we’re going to lock in OVER, OVER, OVER. Aaron Hicks has a lop-sided prop here as I see him totaling way more then 1.5 hits + walks, so once again we’re going OVER. Lastly, Luke Voit at 1.5 hits + walks. I do expect a home run (or two), therefore we can only assume Voit will total more then 1.5 hits + walks. All five props I believe will go over.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 6/6: Trucking on Hess

Wes Anderson
written by Wes Anderson

New York Yankees

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

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

Texas Rangers

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

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

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

Houston Astros

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

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

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

UPDATE:

Miami Marlins

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

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

Win Daily On Deck: Pregame Notes and Updates for 6/5

Louis Cangiano
written by Louis Cangiano

(Updated 6:56 pm EST)

Players/stacks you were not looking at before, but 15 minutes until lock you might want to consider:

  • Clint Frazier- Another New York Yankee that I love today. Right-handed Yankees batters in Toronto against Trent Thornton…I’m telling you!
  • Toronto batters one through four became more and more appealing as my research progressed. Stacking against chalky pitchers is always a go-to strategy of mine and tonight despite his pitch limit, James Paxton should be quite chalky.

(Updated 6:20 pm EST)

If not Sale than who? First of all it’s whom. That’s what my English teacher would have said to me in High School. I still don’t know what it is, I digress. Regardless of if it’s who or whom, there’s one pitcher that caught my eye. German Marquez at a price of $9,000 on FanDuel, $10,300 on DraftKings is actually in an interesting spot against the Chicago Cubs tonight. Marquez owns a 2.08 road ERA and has allowed opposing batters to a mere .167 BA. Marquez has averaged 40 FanDuel points per game over his last three despite a horrific effort against Baltimore two starts back. Small under/over at 7.5, lets see if Marquez can get the QS and W as well.

(Updated 6:00 pm EST)

Should I hedge against over exposure to Sale? Question of the day. Yes, you should. Everyone loves Sale, no secret. This could very well be a home run derby. Although unlikely, it could happen. I have minimal exposure to the guys that could take Sale deep which are: Soler, Cuthbert and Gutierrez. The best thing about MLB DFS is that you can invest in both sides of a game. Do so tonight, and you’re guaranteed to be in the green.

(Updated 5:40 pm EST)

Trent Thornton is going to have a very tough time with these Yankee right–handed bats. Thornton owns a 6.23 ERA in six game starts at home. Out of the 10 total home runs Thornton has allowed this season, eight have been at home. Although Thornton has better splits against lefties, I don’t think he has the stuff to keep these very talented Yankee bats in the park. Voit, Sanchez, and Torres are all in play for me as well as Kendrys Morales. Toronto does have a solid bullpen so these Yankees need to get to Thornton early and I believe they will tonight. Lock in these power bats for New York, you won’t regret it.

(Updated 5:29 pm EST)

Kendrys Morales ($2,500 FD & $2,800 DK): You have to consider Morales in the cleanup role. As I mentioned yesterday, the Rogers Centre is the perfect park for right-handed batters, not to mention this is a revenge game (in a sense) as Morales did spend some time in Toronto before they decided to send him to Oakland for Jesus Lopez and some cash. Morales should have a nice shot at some RBI tonight and maybe even a homer. The Yankees are favored at -185 with an 8.5 under/over.

Chris Sale ($11,500 FD & 10,600 DK): All indications are pointing towards a massive game from Sale tonight as he sets to face the struggling Kansas City Royals. The Royals have the trifecta of DFS stats needed to be confident in targeting them for poor offense. These statistical indicators are: Poor recent outings, bad BvP stats and solid recent form from your pitcher. Sale has maintained a .217 OBA against the Royals in 143 at-bats, striking out 32% of all batters! Our editor here at WinDailyDFS has been telling me to not overuse exclamation points, well one is needed here. A 32 % SO rate over that span is extremely impressive and facing them in their current form sets the stage for a slate breaking outing for Chris Sale. Pay up and do it with confidence. We’ll have some solid positional value to allow you to do so as the lineups come rolling in.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 5/23: Bundy Bashing

Wes Anderson
written by Wes Anderson

New York Yankees

Picking onthe Orioles’ Dylan Bundy seems like a great start to a winning DFS lineup. Theright-handed starter has a 4.46 SIERA this season as well as a 45.4% flyballrate. Bundy also is allowing 2.14 HR/9, which highest on the slate. Look forthe Yankees to take advantage of this matchup as the Pinstripes have a team ISOof .200 against righties this season.

The Yankees’build has to start with Gary Sanchez (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings: $5,600). The catcheris red hot and that should continue on Thursday. As Sanchez is raking againstrighties this season. He owns a .392 ISO and a .413 wOBA against them. You canbuild around Sanchez with a combination of Gleyber Torres (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings:$5,400), Brett Gardner (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $4,500), Luke Voit (FanDuel:$4,100 DraftKings: $5,100) and Clint Frazier (FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,500)as well. Each of those four Yankees’ hitters have .220-plus ISOs againstright-handed pitching in 2019.

Washington Nationals

The Nationals’ offense has found a lot of success against left-handedpitching in 2019. They have a .207 ISO and a .358 wOBA versus southpaws. Lookfor that good fortune to continue today against the Mets’ Steven Matz.

When building your Nationals stack, you will want to start the construction with Anthony Rendon (FanDuel: $4,400 DraftKings: $5,700). The infielder has crushed lefties this season. He has a .462 ISO and a .515 wOBA versus them. But also, he is killing the sinker this season. Rendon has a 1.440 SLG against that pitch this season, while Matz has relied on that pitch type 61.6% of the time this season.

You also need to consider Trea Turner (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $4,800). The speedster has a career .308 BAA versus the sinker and also have an ISO of .333 versus lefties in 2019. Juan Soto (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $4,800), Brian Dozier (FanDuel: $2,500 DraftKings: $3,600), Victor Robles (FanDuel: $3,200 DraftKings: $4,300) and Howie Kendrick (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $4,800) should all be considered as well. Each of those Nationals’ hitters have .200-plus ISOs against left-handed pitching in 2019.                                                                                                                                              

Tampa Bay Rays

Cleveland’s Adam Plutko is a guy you will want to attack. In his career he has allowed a 2.40 HR/9 and has a 5.46 xFIP. So, feel free to load up on Rays. Guys like Austin Meadows (FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,600), Ji-Man Choi (FanDuel: $2,900 DraftKings: $3,900) and Brandon Lowe (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $5,200) should be your main targets, as they all have wOBAs greater than .340 against right-handed pitching.

Chicago Cubs/Philadelphia Phillies

Be sure to check back here with Win Daily DFS to get a full weather report, but it appears that the wind will be blowing out at Wrigley on Thursday. If the wind reaches double-digits in terms of MPH, load up on all the Cubs and Phillies you can in your lineups.

Good luckand happy stacking!

DFS Hitting Stacks for 5/22 – Ride with Rangers

Marshall Rosen
written by Marshall Rosen

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

Seattle Mariners

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

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

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

Texas Rangers

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

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

New York Yankees

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

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

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

Houston Astros

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

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

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

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

Minnesota Twins

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

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

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

Good luckand happy stacking!

MLB DFS Hitting Picks for 5/15 – Astro Assault

Cora Baylis
written by Cora Baylis

Our player write-ups have been on point recently and we’re hoping to continue our hot stretch today. Much like any other slate, the first thing we need to do is check in on Mother Nature. The good news here is that we have almost no rain in the forecast. There is one shady forecast in Philly but it appears to be nothing serious. To get more info, check in with Mark Paquette.  

Catcher 

Gary Sanchez, NYY vs. BAL 

DK ($5,300)   FD ($4,000) 

While Sanchez is one of only two Yankees in this article. New York very well may be the best stack on the board. While many might be concerned about his status, the fact that he was in Tuesday’s lineup before a postponement proves that he’s fully healthy. What we like here about Sanchez is this matchup, with David Hess posting a 5.50 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Those numbers are pretty bad, but his .281 xBA, .609 xSLG and .405 xwOBA are even worse. That really makes Sanchez an attractive option with his impressive .467 xwOBA and .380 ISO, which are simply some of the best marks in the majors. 

Also Consider: Wilson Ramos hit a grand slam on Tuesday and is just $3,200 on DraftKings.  

First Base 

Luke Voit, NYY vs. BAL 

DK ($5,000)   FD ($3,900) 

It’s hard to fade the Yankees with those ugly aforementioned Hess statistics, and Voit will be one of the key pieces to a New York stack. Voit’s peripherals are almost as ridiculous as Sanchez’s, with the first baseman posting a .400 xwOBA this season and a .261 career ISO. Vegas appears to love this Yankees stack too, as they have the Bronx Bombers projected for more than five runs. 

Also Consider: Tyler White continues to be priced super cheap and could be a contrarian piece to a Houston stack.  

Second Base 

Rougned Odor, TEX at KC 

DK ($3,700)   FD ($2,500) 

The one time we recommended Odor earlier this season he homered, so hopefully, we can keep that unlikely luck going here. It’s hard to look at his season-long numbers and get excited, but there’s reasons to like him today. While his .153 average is downright unsightly, hitting two doubles on Tuesday is hopefully the start of a special run. Not only does Odor have a .750 career OPS against right-handers, almost all of his stolen bases have come against righties too. Facing Jorge Lopez is a good way to continue his mini-surge, with the Kansas City righty posting a 6.07 ERA and 1.49 WHIP so far this season. 

Also Consider: Robinson Cano is just $3,300 on DraftKings. While I don’t like this matchup, that price is crazy.  

Third Base 

Alex Bregman, HOU at DET 

DK ($5,300)   FD ($4,400) 

Bregman is the second piece to our Astros stack, as he may be the hottest hitter in the league right now. Since April 30, Bregman has collected nine homers and 20 RBI en route to a 1.132 OPS. That’s obviously absurd and it’s really no surprise when you consider the fact that Houston is averaging 11.3 runs per game across their four fixtures while posting the best OPS in the league against left-handed pitching. That spells disaster for lefty Gregory Soto, who allowed 11 baserunners and seven runs in his one start this season. 

Also Consider: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains super cheap on both sites and his two homers on Tuesday shows the sort of potential that he has.  

Shortstop 

Carlos Correa, HOU at DET 

DK ($4,800)   FD ($3,900) 

Correa had a hell of a game on Tuesday and he makes for another great piece to our Houston stack. In that outburst on Tuesday, Correa hit a homer and a triple while collecting two runs scored and three RBI. That now gives him 16 extra-base hits over his last 24 games, as he’s also provided 16 runs and 20 RBI in that span as well. Facing a lefty should only help, as he, Bregman and George Springer all perform better with the platoon advantage in their favor. 

Also Consider: Gleyber Torres has been slumping but he could have success against Hess in a Yankees stack.  

Outfield 

Joey Gallo, TEX at KC 

DK ($5,400)   FD ($4,200) 

Gallo is probably my best bet to homer in this slate and he’s truly established himself as one of the best power hitters in the game. After hitting two doubles on Tuesday, Gallo has pushed his ISO to an absurd .372. That happens to be the second-best mark in the league and his .438 xwOBA is one of the best marks in the Majors, too. Lopez’s ugly numbers from the Odor write-up should only help, with Gallo posting a .530 SLG against righties since the beginning of 2017. 

Andrew McCutchen, PIT vs. MIL 

DK ($4,000)   FD ($3,700) 

Picking outfielders is tough in this slate, but McCutchen makes for a nice pivot batting leadoff against a lefty. Using BvP is dangerous, but McCutchen and Gio have had a ton of matchups over the years. In fact, McCutchen is 8-for-25 at the plate against Gonzalez, collecting a .935 OPS and .405 wOBA against him. That’s all you can ask for, especially considering the fact that McCutchen has a .948 OPS against left-handers throughout his career. 

Marwin Gonzalez, MIN vs. LAA 

DK ($3,500)   FD ($2,900) 

Gonzalez is actually third base eligible on both sites but I wanted to get him here in the outfield. What I really like is this price, as Gonzalez has traditionally been a $4,000 player over the last three years. In fact, Gonzalez has a .799 OPS since the beginning of 2017 and he finds himself in the heart of the order for one of the best teams in baseball. Marwin appears to be finding some rhythm at the plate too, posting an OPS just shy of 1.200 in his current seven-game hitting streak. We prefer to use Gonzalez against righties too, as he has an OPS north of .800 against right-handers since the beginning of 2017. 

Also Consider: George Springer is one of the highest-priced players on the board but he’s tough to fade atop that Astros order against another weak lefty.
