Stack Report for Main Slate: Winning Edge for July 7

Daniel Wehr 5 years ago

written by Daniel Wehr

This report will provide stacks that I recommend for today’s 11 game main slate. I’ve also included my favorite one-offs and value plays.

Boston Red Sox Stack

vs. LHP Gregory Soto (DET): 6.30 Runs

The Red Sox come in with the highest implied run total on the slate today. I do not expect Soto to pitch more than an inning or two but once he comes out he has an awful bullpen behind him. The Red Sox are slashing a league best .382 wOBA, .216 ISO, and .920 OPS over the last two weeks. Greg Soto carries 8.06 ERA, 6.29 FIP, and 5.88 SIERA over a small sample of 22 innings pitched. He is atrocious to righties. They are slashing .415 wOBA, .632 SLG, and .391 OBP against him. The Red Sox have a lot of right handed power early in the lineup and Soto struggles there the most as indicated above. This makes guy’s like Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, and J.D. Martinez early on a priority. The bullpen should open things up for Rafael Devers to crack the slate open, although he also hits lefties well.

Preferred Stack: J.D. Martinez ($4000 FD|$4700 DK), Mookie Betts ($4200 FD|$4900 DK), Xander Bogaerts ($4200 FD|$5000 DK), and Rafael Devers ($4400 FD|$5600 DK).

Toronto Blue Jays Stack

vs. RHP Asher Wojciechowski (BAL): 5.95 Runs

Asher Wojciechowski has bounced around multiple farm systems since 2010 and has limited big show experience other than the 62 innings pitched he tossed for the Reds in 2017. Through his career, Wojciechowski carries 6.62 ERA, 4.92 FIP, and 4.25 SIERA. He surrenders 1.81 HR/9 over that same time span and typically gives up over 50% fly ball rate. The Blue Jays offense has hit extremely well against right handed pitching the last few weeks. They are slashing a massive .399 wOBA, .318 ISO, and 152 WRC+ in that time span. I like this lineup a lot more when Randal Grichuk is in it. He is currently projected to start but is nursing a back injury. Boost to Toronto if he plays today.

Preferred Stack: Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($3800 FD|$5500 DK), Cavan Biggio ($3800 FD|$4700 DK), Freddie Galvis $3400 FD|$4300 DK), Eric Sogard ($3400 FD|$4700 DK) and Justin Smoak ($3000 FD|$4100 DK) are my preferred plays. Danny Jansen ($2900 FD|$3800 DK) is okay for value but I typically won’t waste my utility spot on a catcher. Randal Grichuk ($3200 FD|$3800 DK) if he plays, if not Brandon Drury ($2500 FD|$3300 DK) is a decent value play.

Chicago Cubs Stack

vs. RHP Ivan Nova (CHW): 6.00 Runs

I’m going to jump on this Cubs train before it passes me by this weekend. This team has quietly hit very well to right handed pitching over the last two weeks, slashing .354 wOBA, .233 ISO, and .515 SLG. Ivan Nova carries 5.92 ERA, 5.43 FIP, and 5.06 SIERA into today’s matchup. Nova isn’t giving up a ton of fly balls, but he does have a .339 BABIP to compliment his 45% ground ball rate. His splits are awful and close to identical. He holds a .386 wOBA, .512 SLG, and .368 OBP on the season. Wilson Contreras, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, and Jason Heyward all sit in the top 45 hitters in the league with the best HR/FB ratio.

Preferred Stack: Jason Heyward ($3500 FD|$4800 DK), Kyle Schwarber ($3900 FD|$4300), Anthony Rizzo ($4300 FD|$4800 DK), Wilson Contreras ($3600 FD|$5300 DK), and Javier Baez ($4100|$5300). I have a ton of interest in Robel Garcia ($2000 FD|$2200 DK). He’s essentially a free square with the fantastic matchup and minimum pricing. Lock him in.

Honorable Mentions

Houston Astros Stack

vs. LHP Jose Saurez (LAA): 5.90 Runs

Preferred Stack: Jose Altuve ($3600 FD|$3900 DK), Alex Bregman ($4100 FD|$4700 DK), and Yordan Alvarez ($4200 FD|$4700 DK).

Baltimore Orioles Stack

vs. RHP Trent Thornton(TOR): 4.55 Runs

DFS Winners and Losers: Bang For Baltimore Bucks

Vincent Pensabene 5 years ago

written by Vincent Pensabene

We had a 14-game DFS slate on Friday June 29. All points and dollar amounts are based on DraftKings.

DFS Winners

Chance Sisco ($3,500)

Sisco had a career night at the plate against the Cleveland Indians yesterday. He went 3-for-5 with a double, home run, five RBI and three runs. It will be extremely difficult for Sisco to achieve that line again anytime soon, so avoid selecting Sisco when he is back on the DFS slate.

Sisco’s DFS Outlook

Chance Sisco had his best statistical game of the season with highs in hits, runs and RBI. Sisco is an average hitter at the plate but had a game where he looked incredible. Baltimore continues their series against Cleveland and expect Sisco to get some more playing time. However, there will be better DFS value at the catcher position than him, so look somewhere else.

John Means ($6,800)

We are Doubling down with the Orioles, as they had a great game against the Indians. Means only allowed three baserunners (walk, error and hit) in his five innings of work and recorded five strikeouts in the process. Means’ changeup is one of the better ones in the game and keeps hitter off balance. He isn’t a DFS-style pitcher that will provide a big point total, so fade him in his next outing

Means’ DFS Outlook

John Means is perfect in the role he is asked to fill. He isn’t expected to eat innings and produce a huge strikeout total. Instead, he just needs to navigate the opposing lineup twice and is done. With a plus changeup in his arsenal, Means is a good pitcher. His next scheduled DFS outing is Wednesday in Tampa against the Rays. Fade him in that start due to better options on the DFS slate.

DFS Losers

Mike Trout ($5,500)

Mike Trout went hitless in his four at-bats, including a strikeout last night against the Oakland Athletics. Trout doesn’t go into many slumps and should bounce back in tonight’s game.

Trout’s DFS Outlook

Trout floundered in Anaheim last night but has been hot at the plate in the past month. He is batting .312 with 10 HR, 27 RBI and a .449 OBP in the past 30 games including last night. It’s no question that he is the best baseball player on the planet right now and will be fine in tonight’s DFS matchup against Oakland.

Hyun-Jin Ryu ($8,900)

Ryu had a terrible outing against the Colorado Rockies last night. He ended with a line of four innings, seven runs and nine hits. He also gave up a walk and four strikeouts while picking up his second loss of the season. The Coors Field effect certainly played a factor as the Rockies have a .922 OPS at home. Don’t let this outing affect your opinion on Ryu as he will return to DFS form in his next outing.

Ryu’s DFS Outlook

This outing brought Ryu’s ERA to 1.83, three-tenths of a run better than the second-lowest ERA. His next scheduled start is Thursday at home against the San Diego Padres. One bad start shouldn’t scare players of Ryu’s DFS production in his next outing.

DFS Injury Updates

Marcell Ozuna of the St. Louis Cardinals exited the game in the third inning after diving back on a pickoff attempt and jamming his middle finger. The team announced the injury will force Ozuna on the 10-day IL.

Cole Hamels left yesterday’s start with a left oblique strain. While warming up in the second inning, he immediately walked off the mound and exited the game. He is scheduled to have a MRI later today.

After about six weeks, Corey Kluber has been cleared to resume baseball activities. He has been sidelined since May 1 after being struck by a line drive in the forearm.

MLB DFS Winners and Losers: Corbin, Snell and More

Ethan Thiel 5 years ago

written by Ethan Thiel

There was a full slate of games on Wednesday, June 19th. We actually played 16 games as the Phillies and Nationals had a doubleheader. Snell had one of the worst starts of his career while Corbin bounced back after a few tough starts and a couple of rainouts. Points and salaries are based on DraftKings. I covered the early games here and my fellow colleague, Mark Paquette, covered the late games.

Early Winner

Patrick Corbin ($8,200)

Corbin started the first of two games against the Phillies Wednesday and pitched really well. He pitched seven full innings while striking out eight and giving up only one earned run. He gave up four hits, three walks, and one solo home run. This was a good bounce-back performance for Corbin, who has not pitched well lately. He gave up 16 earned runs on 22 hits over his last 12 innings. He improved to 6-5 on the year and his ERA is now at 3.90. His WHIP is at 1.20 and his K/9 is in good shape at 9.95.

Corbin’s Outlook

Corbin’s next projected start will come at home against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, June 23rd. The Braves’ offense has been good all year, averaging 5.41 runs per game and nearly 7.5 in the month of June. Their June team batting average of .293 trails only the Rockies and they have hit more home runs than any other team in that span with 37. They have been susceptible to the strikeout, though, and rank seventh in that category in June. The Braves’ offense has been too good to think Corbin can back this great start up with another one. We will be looking elsewhere for pitcher points come Sunday.

Early Loser

Blake Snell ($9,500)

Blake Snell had one of the roughest outings for a starting pitcher we have seen all year. He was only able to get one Yankee out while giving up six earned runs on two hits and four walks. Snell gave up a homer to Gary Sanchez. He netted a horrible -14.85 points. We know the Yankees’ lineup is starting to shape up, but this was more of a control problem than anything as shown with the four walks. Snell had been good going into Wednesday and had an ERA of 3.70 to go with a WHIP of 1.17. His K/9 was at a healthy 12.07.

Snell’s Outlook

Snell might not find his next start to be much easier as he faces off agaisnt the Minnesota Twins, on the road, on Tuesday June 25th. The Twins have scored more runs this year than any other team and average nearly six a game. They also lead the league in team batting average and home runs. Snell should be plenty rested but expecting a bounce-back performance agaisnt the top offense in baseball is asking a bit too much. We will be staying away for his start in Minnesota.

Late Winners

Max Scherzer($11,700)/Mike Trout ($4,800): It is so easy to write-up two of the best players in the game, but on the roll these guys are on, what the heck! Trout has homered in three of his last four games and is up to 22 on the year. His on-base percentage is an absurd .462 and .474 for the month of June. He is the best player in the game. Scherzer is making a case of regaining the crown of best pitcher in the league. He is simply on a dominant roll, making his “struggles” of early in the season a distant memory. In his previous three June starts (not including last night’s gem) he was 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA, 34 strikeouts, 12 hits allowed and three walks over 22 innings.

Scherzer’s and Trout’s Outlooks:

Only an injury can slow these two behemoths down. Well….maybe not even that! A full-blown shiner from a broken nose did not bother Scherzer in the least last night.

Late Losers

Texas pitching staff/bullpen (minus Lance Lynn and Mike Minor): Last season, Globe Life Park was the best park to score runs in and was the third easiest to hit a home run in. This season it is currently middle of the pack in both categories, but as the brutal summer heat begins to build (the last two games were the first pair in 90 degree heat) and continues through September, expect the rankings to return to their normal place at the top of the list. This spells trouble for next few months for arms in Texas (and visiting teams too) while bats should feast. Oh, did I mention that Texas has one of the worst bullpens in the league?

Texas Outlook:

Look for Texas bats, such as Joey Gallo when he is healthy, Nomar Mazara, Rougned Odor and Elvis Andrus to only get better while the time to pick on arms on Texas in DFS contests is here! Globe Life Park might be the second-most common park to stack in the rest of the season, only behind Coors (of course). And do not ignore the visiting team when they come into town either!

Hitting and MLB Prop Picks for 6/18: Angel Eyes

Alisia Gustafson 5 years ago

written by Alisia Gustafson

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

Catcher/First Base

Kevan Smith, LAA at TOR

DK ($3,400) FD ($2,500)

As you’ll see throughout this article, I love the L.A. Angels tonight against the struggling Marcus Stroman. He faces an Angels team that has consistently demolished him, although without much of the long ball. Well, that changes tonight in the Rogers Centre, which is allowing a league high 1.520 HR/per game. In Smith’s last start on 6/15 he totaled 30.9 FD points and has actually donged off Stroman before in one AB. That is obviously not a big sample size, but considering I do expect the Angels to dominate this one, Smith should have some RBI opportunities even at the bottom of the order. This is a solid wrap-around stack. The Angels are favored by -120 with a nine under/over.

**Remember, Toronto’s bullpen was killed last night due to Edwin Jackson’s two inning home run derby of an effort, so Stroman might be asked to eat up some innings tonight. Lock this in!**

Second Base

Ildemaro Vargas, COL at ARI

DK ($4,000) FD ($2,300)

Vargas should find his way into the starting lineup again as the Diamondbacks set to face Colorado in Arizona. Vargas is 5-10 over his last two starts. Arizona will be another team that I am stacking and like Smith, Vargas is a cheap part of a great stack. The Diamondbacks own a .304 team BA against Antonio Senzatela. Vargas has yet to see him but is the perfect switch-hitting candidate to grab the number two hole in the order and benefit off runs, RBI and maybe a stolen base. The Diamondbacks are favored by -145 with a 10 under/over.

Third Base

Eduardo Escobar, COL vs. ARI

DK ($5,400) FD ($3,900)

Escobar has been on fire, hitting safely in 12 of his last 15 games. Tonight he sees Antonio Senzatela, who owns a 6.39 ERA over his last two starts and has already faced Arizona once this season, allowing a .360 team BA and a home run with nine hits over six innings pitched. Don’t forget about Escobar’s upside. Just seven games back he totaled 60.1 FD points off two HRs. I love the Diamondbacks today, especially the lefties!

Shortstop

Marcus Semien, BAL at OAK

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

Oakland didn’t pan out the way I had hoped last night, but tonight I will be returning to the well because I know if Oakland sees that bullpen, it could/should be GPP fantasy points galore. Baltimore’s bullpen is filled with a bunch of guys that should be in someone’s minor league system. Oakland will bash them, if they see them. Let’s hope they see four to five good innings against Baltimore’s bullpen and if they do, Marcus Semien will be the one who benefits the most off runs, stolen bases, RBI and he always has the long ball potential. The A’s are favored by -240 with a nine under/over.

Outfield

Mike Trout, L.A. vs. TOR

DK ($5,600) FD ($4.600)

First things first, Mike Trout is my outfield lock or the day. Trout owns a .500 BA in 16 at-bats against Stroman with three doubles. We have a big slate tonight and quality pitching shouldn’t be too hard to find. Therefore, you should be able to acquire Mike Trout without taking too big of a salary hit. Stroman has been struggling as of late with a 4.82 ERA for the month of June (and his last start was actually impressive). The Angels are batting .439 in 65 at-bats. Lock and load the Angel bats in the Rogers Centre.

Mookie Betts, BOS vs. MIN

DK ($4,800) FD ($4,100)

Betts owns a .304 BA with two doubles and two home runs in 24 at-bats. The Red Sox are favored by -115 with a 10 under/over. Minnesota has Micheal Pineda on the mound.He has a 5.04 ERA and a 5.20 home ERA. He pitched well in his last outing but when this guy’s bad, he’s bad. Betts has massive upside tonight as I expect Boston to be aggressive on the basepaths and Betts could very well have a steal or two, as he’s already stolen two bases against Pineda before. Benefiting off runs and RBI, Betts will be my one-off play of the day.

Other Option: Shohei Ohtani

Monkey Knife Fight Pick of the Day

Tyler Skaggs, Marcus Stroman and Shohei Ohtani – Over, Under, Over

Toronto has totaled 63 strikeouts over the past week, ranking them sixth highest in the Majors. I do expect Skaggs to go at least five and get the W, therefore over 5.5 strikeouts is the way to go for sure. Stroman’s prop is easy. The Angels should demolish Stroman and they have not been striking out over the past week and mont,h ranking in the bottom 50 percent over both spans. My only concern is they let him eat up innings, then he could possibly get some garbage Ks, but that alone won’t take me off the under here for Stroman’s prop. Lastly, Ohtani is on fire and 1.5 total bases is an easy over for me, especially since I expect the Angels to win big. Good luck tonight! Play MLB Props NOW and get 100 percent bonus!

The King’s DFS Stacks for 6/17: Load Up on L.A.

Scott Engel 5 years ago

written by Scott Engel

My favorite stacks can be found in Los Angeles tonight. One is a usual quality lineup, and the other is one I would rarely recommend as a stack, obviously.

I will start with the Dodgers against San Francisco’s Tyler Beede and his 8.60 ERA. He is 0-2 with an 8.80 road ERA. Cody Bellinger ($5,700 on DraftKings) homered on Sunday and is hitting .397 with 15 homers and 33 RBI at home. Alex Verdugo is at .345 at home with 18 RBI in 35 games and should be ready to rip after an off day. He is a prime play at 4,000. Max Muncy (5,000) is hitting .291 with five home runs and 20 RBI at home. Catchers Russell Martin and Austin Barnes are both under 3,600 and can be used as salary savers. Also consider Kike Hernandez at 3,500 as is Chris Taylor. Joc Pederson gets the lefty platoon split at 4,600.

Of course we have to stack anyone against Edwin Jackson and his 10.22 ERA. Splits don’t matter, get all possible Angels bats in there that have any modicum of respectability. You have to spend the 5600 on Mike Trout against any mediocre or less starter and then build around him. Cesar Puello (4200) is hitting .345 at home and is at 4,200 on DK. Tommy La Stella (4700) is hitting .345 with five homers and 14 RBI at home. Shohei Ohtani (5100) is hitting .299 at home with 15 RBI. You can try and save some cash with Justin Bour at 3800 and Jonathan Lucroy at 3300. Justin Upton finally returns to the lineup and is a GPP value play at 3900. He fits nicely into the stack at the right time.

Andrew Cashner has a 5.05 road ERA and splits do not matter against him, as RHBs have a .305 BA vs. Cashner. He faces the A’s in a pitcher’s venue, so the Oakland stack is GPP only. Khris Davis will be the obvious play, and Robbie Grossman (4300) is hitting .319 with 15 RBI and 14 runs scored at home. Marcus Semien (4400) is hitting .304 with five homers and 22 RBI at home. Matt Olson (4800) has a .292 home BA with seven homers in 19 games. Josh Phegley has six home HRs with 30 RBI and is just 3900.

DFS Hitters and Stacks for 6/16:

Marshall Rosen 5 years ago

written by Marshall Rosen

While your children were busy buying you gifts you really did not want, Win Daily DFS was busy working on getting you what you really wanted on Father’s Day. Some hard, cold cash courtesy of our picks for hitters and stacks for the Sunday main slate.

Catcher – Gary Sanchez vs. Odrisamer Despaigne

FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $5,000

The Yankees’ catcher has a .376 ISO versus right-handed pitchers in 2019. Sanchez also has a .399 wOBA and a 152 wRC+ against righties. Sanchez should take advantage and keep crushing righties in this one.

Values:

Pedro Severino

FanDuel: $2,500

Martin Maldonado

DraftKings: $2,200

First Base – Freddie Freeman vs. Cole Irvin

FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,500

Do not be scared to go lefty on lefty here. Freeman has a .279 ISO and a .404 wOBA against southpaws this season. The Phillies’ Cole Irvin is allowing a .387 wOBA to lefties in 2019.

Values:

Matt Adams

FanDuel: $2,500

Tyler White

DraftKings: $3,000

Second Base – Ozzie Albies vs. Cole Irvin

FanDuel: $3,600 DraftKings: $4,900

The Braves’ Albies has a .209 ISO, a .378 wOBA and a 133 wRC+ versus left-handed pitching in 2019. Look for those numbers to jump up after this meeting with Cole Irvin. The lefty is allowing 1.76 HR/9 against right-handed batters this season.

Values:

Hanser Alberto

FanDuel: $2,300

Jason Kipnis

DraftKings: $2,500

Third Base – Anthony Rendon vs. Archie Bradley/Zack Godley

FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,600

The Nationals’ third baseman is always tough to pass up and the same holds true today. He has a .324 ISO versus right-handed pitching in 2019.

Values:

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

FanDuel: $2,800 DraftKings: $3,700

Shortstop –Trea Turner vs. Archie Bradley/Zack Godley

FanDuel: $4,300 DraftKings: $5,500

In seven of his last eight games, Turner has recorded double-digit DFS points. Look for more of the same here. Turner owns a .278 ISO and a .353 wOBA vs righties this season.

Value:

Richie Martin

FanDuel: $2,100 DraftKings: $2,700

Outfield – Mike Trout vs. Ryan Stanek

FanDuel: $4,600 DraftKings: $5,700

Any time you can get the best player in baseball in your DFS lineup, it is probably a good idea. Trout is in a great spot to succeed in this one.

Outfield – J.D. Martinez vs. John Means

FanDuel: $4,300 Draftkings: $5,400

Death, taxes and J.D. Martinez versus lefties. The lefty killer is at it again this season. Martinez has a .436 ISO, .496 wOBA and a 215 wRC+ against left-handed pitching in 2019.

Values:

Nick Williams

FanDuel: $2,000 DraftKings: $3,000

Keon Broxton

FanDuel: $2,300 DraftKings: $3,400

Harrison Bader

FanDuel: $2,400 DraftKings: $3,300

Top Stacks

New York Yankees:

It seems like you always want to try to get as many Yankees’ bats into your DFS lineups as you can. Today is no different, especially with the White Sox’s Odrisamer Despaigne on the bump. The Chicago right-hander has a 7.15 SIERA in six innings pitched in 2019. Things surely are set up for the Yankees’ offense to succeed on Sunday.

Boston Red Sox:

John Means could be in for a long one here. The Orioles’ starter has a 4.96 xFIP and a 4.51 SIERA this season. And now he faces a hot Boston offense that has a .241 ISO and a .350 wOBA over the last seven days. Means should be in trouble early and often here so stack up all the Red Sox that you can.

Minnesota Twins:

The Royals’ Jakob Junis is a guy we want to attack today. He has a 5.35 ERA to go along with 42.9 hard contact rate. But equally important is the fact that the Twins have crushed right-handed pitching all season. As an offense, Minnesota has a .248 ISO against righties.

Value Stacks

Miami Marlins:

The Pirates’ Chris Archer is having a disastorous season. He is allowing a flyball rate of 39.8% and those flyballs are getting hit hard. He has a 43.4% hard contact rate. He is allowing 2.41 HR/9 this season. The Marlins may not be the most intimidating offense, but with their highest priced starter on FanDuel coming in at just $3,200, Miami is in play on Sunday.

Baltimore Orioles:

Brian Johnson has struggled in his brief time in the Majors. He has accumulated a 12.71 ERA and 6.03 xFIP. Johnson also has a 55% flyball rate as well as a 55% hard contact rate. The Orioles are not priced accordingly so take advantage of some value on Sunday.

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.
