MLB DFS Cheatsheet

Hopefully, you all were on the Discord last night to catch all of our discussions that lead to a very nice night of cashing! Let’s run it back today. The August 24th edition of Aces and Bases will take on the main MLB DFS slates on DraftKings and FanDuel.

The purpose of this article is to identify our top pitching plays and fades on the slate, in addition to our top offense stacks for your GPP lineups.

Please make sure you keep an eye on the weather and other factors as those are always important things to monitor when playing MLB DFS. Be sure to check out our MLB DFS Projections as well. Without further ado, it’s Aces and Bases time.

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Jesus Luzardo @TEX ($7,400 DK / $7,700 FD)

Luzardo is really coming into his own and has been doing some great things with his slider (44% whiff rate) and changeup (53% whiff rate), hes also fully stretched out finally going about 90 pitches last outing. I wish Luzardo would pound more 4 seamers and less Sinkers, but the tunneling has done a good job so far.

The Rangers are terrible at getting on base, they have been taking weak at bats a lot this year and come into today’s game with a team slash line of .210/.288/.345.

Honorable Mentions: Lance Lynn

Top Ace(s): Trevor Bauer @MIL ($10,200 DK / $12,000 FD) Kenta Maeda @CLE ($9,400 / $9,400 FD)

Bauer has been dominant this year, over 26.1 IP he’s rocking a 14 k/9 and a .068 ERA! The Brewers bats have been struggling so hard to find run production this year and I’ve been playing any pitcher I can against them.

Maeda took a no-no into the 9th last week! Almost had it. Maeda has been locked in this year and his statcast page is lit up with red to back it all up. Facing off vs a weak Cleveland team here (.208 team BA) I am surprised this price is not higher.

Civale has been awesome this year, I love his approach and the fastball command is just so tasty, he would be a top Ace if not for the great match ups Bauer and Maeda have today

Honorable Mention: Aaron Civale vs MIN

Punt Play: Brad Keller @ STL ($6,700 DK / $8,900 FD)

Keller has incorporated a new curveball to his arsenal and boy has it been good. Keller’s new breaker has been getting a ton of called strikes and whiffs has hes kept it in and around the bottom of the zone. The fastball tunneling has been spot on as well and he keeps all the 4 seamers up.

Honorable Mentions: Casey Mize vs CHC

Top Fade: Jack Flaherty vs KC ($9,300 DK / ( $10,000 FD)

Flaherty looked good in his first outing back but got the hook after only 41 pitches. Flaherty is not fully stretched, and loaded the bases on two walks and then a plunk, which was a bit concerning. So were looking at like a 5 inning ceiling here. Price is just too high with that production cap, even against the Royals. There is a good chance Flaherty will be a top ace next week against the Pirates if everything goes smoothly here.

Honorable Mention: Alec Mills @ DET

MLB DFS: The Bases

No real weather concerns across the board today with a near with the small slate to start the week. With these small slates I really like to focus in on a couple stacks.

Top Stacks

1. Houston Astros- The Astros are 0-8 against teams over .500 this year. Luckily for Astros though, the Angels are 9-20 and are rolling out Patrick Sandoval. Sandoval could not keep the breakers in the bottom part of the zone and was punished in his last outing. The Astros should feast tonight.

Value Stacks

1. Detroit Tigers – The Tigers have been barreling the ball really well so far this year and are actually leading the league in hard hit % at 42.4%. Alec Mills got toasted his last time on the bump and had nothing working, have to attack him until he gives a reason not to.

Thrive Fantasy

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Kevin Gausman ($6,500 DK / $7,700 FD)

Man this is some good value. Gausman is absolutely locked in with the splitter this year, allowing no more than 3 earned in any start, and the strikeouts are just pouring in (32 K%) as he pounds the upper half of the zone with fastballs (sitting 96!) and splitters underneath.

Gausman gave us 11ks vs Oakland in his last go on the bump and today’s Angels match up will be the best one hes had all year (LADx2 / SDP/ @COL).

Honorable Mentions: Dinelson Lamet

Top Ace(s): Shane Bieber ($10,600 DK / $12,000 FD) Clayton Kershaw ($10,200 / $10,100 FD)

Bieber at $12k on Fan Duel might be the highest price for a pitcher yet this year. Last years breakout start continues to impress everyone though as he mows down offenses. Can’t imagine the Pirates give much a challenge here as Bieber has generated 54 strikeouts already this year.

Kershaw is Kershaw. He is great and its great to see him do good and have that fastball sitting at 92mph and up, although the command looked a bit shaky on the heater, the slider is still doing its thing.

Honorable Mention: Jose Berrios / Sonny Gray

Punt Play: Yusei Kikuchi ($5,700 DK / $6,500 FD)

Everybody loves to talk about increased velocity, myself included. Kikuchi is the latest velocity darling, and while it hasn’t panned out just yet the expected stats are telling us greener pastures are ahead. The Dodgers are a tough lineup to try and get right in front of but Kikuchi’s baseball savant page is littered with red. Here’s hoping we see some improvements today.

Honorable Mentions: Asher Wojciechowski

Top Fade: Brandon Woodruff ($8,500 DK / ( $8,200 FD)

This is a no brainier, the options are bountiful today so why would anyone single out the guy throwing against the Twins. All the plays above Woodruff seem pretty solid so its easy to stick with them and find some value low on the board.

Honorable Mention: Adam Wainwright

MLB DFS: The Bases

No weather concerns across the board today with a near full slate.

Top Stacks

1. Oakland Athletics – The A’s should find themselves into the bullpen early as Alex Young is not fully stretched out yet. Young looked alright during his last outing but this A’s team just has no quit right now.

Value Stacks

1. San Francisco Giants – The Giants get to face off against Jose Suarez of the Angels today. Its the season debut for Suarez as he missed all of summer camp with an undisclosed injury. Through 18 starts last year Suarez got knocked around a bunch and ended the year with a ERA north of 7.
2. Baltimore Orioles – The ball loves to fly out in the summer in Baltimore, and Eovaldi loves to get beat up by the long ball.

Thrive Fantasy

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Anthony DeSclafani ($8,200 DK / $7,100 FD)

DeSclafani’s slider was marvelous vs the Brewers. I have been rolling pitchers out a lot against the Brewers this year because of their noted struggles to hit balls thrown in the zone right now, DeSclanfani took advantage of that and went slider heavy with some sinkers and curveballs mixed in as well, which produced some good whiffs, and 6 Ks over 6 scoreless innings.

Ideally I would like to see more 4 seamers up and less sinkers, but I’m very comfortable rolling DeSclafani out for this price against Pittsburgh

Honorable Mentions: Nobody

Top Ace(s): Yu Darvish ($10,300 DK / $9,600 FD)

Speaking of the Brewers who love to swing and miss, Yu Darvish will get to face them at home today. Darvish leaned on the curveball more last time we saw him throw and I hope he does more of the same, keeping the fastball, sitting at 95mph, up in the zone.

Against this current Brewers roster, Darvish has generated 36Ks (30%) and a just a .201 BA against, with the underlying stats to back it up.

About Glasnow, he should be stretched out to about 80 pitches today, that sounds nice but the curveball just was not there last time out against the Yankees. Leaning on the fastball more the Yanks were able to really get after him, with just too many fastballs low in the zone. This one feels like a coin flip.

Honorable Mention: Tyler Glasnow

Punt Play: Jake Arrieta ($7,300 DK / $8,300 FD)

Man. Arrieta sure looked like his old self against the Braves last week. Sinkers were thrown all over the zone as Arrieta tamed Atlanta to 6 scoreless innings and 6 Ks backing that up.

While I doubt Arrieta is magically his Cy Young self again, were getting a great price to face an over performing Orioles team. Like leading the AL in batting average and slugging percentage over performing.

Honorable Mentions: Nobody

Top Fade: Chris Paddack ($9,100 DK / ( N/A FD)

What happened to that fastball command and beautiful change up that was striking everybody out last year? More and more curveballs are being mixed in, which is ideally what we would like to see, but at what cost Paddack!

The Dodgers have already seen Paddack plenty in his young career and are carrying a .571 SLG (.595 xSLG) and solid 20% K rate into this matchup. I’m good with just sitting this one out.

The FD slate is even tighter than DK today, I dont see a real fade play there and would just stick with the above options

Honorable Mention: None

MLB DFS: The Bases

Very small slate today and we have weather concerns to deal with. Honestly, I’m going to play one lineup on DK and one on FD and call it a night.

We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Thursday’s Main Slate.

Top Stacks

1. Philadelphia Phillies – Eshelman is awful. Highest fly-ball/line-drive rate on the slate and he doesn’t miss many barrels. Just eat the chalk with Philly today and get different with a few one-offs.

Value Stacks

1. Baltimore Orioles – Arrieta is almost as bad as Eshelman in terms of fly-ball/line-drive rate, barrels, and average exit velocity. If the weather holds up, this game should offer up a lot of run scoring.

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Kenta Maeda ($9,100 DK / $8,700 FD)

Kenta is the most appealing arm to me today so were lucky he is the 3rd option off the board on the midweek slate. The Brewers have just been downright awful at hitting balls thrown in the zone this year, swinging just 63% of the time on pitches in the zone, and whiffing 31% of the time when they do swing.

Maeda has great command and will pound the zone producing lots of whiffs today, the strikeouts will follow.

Honorable Mentions: Masahiro Tanaka

Top Ace(s): Zach Grienke ($10,300 DK / $9,800 FD)

Not much for real Aces on the main slate today. Grienke should have a good showing against the Giants, but he is not the guy that is going to produce a bunch of strikeouts and put up a million points for you.

I still like this play because he should go deep into the game, but the price and presumed ownership percentage make this play a bit less appealing.

Honorable Mention: Julio Urias

Punt Play: Jordan Lyles ($7,300 DK / $6,600 FD)

The fastball for Lyles has been rough, getting almost zero whiffs (4.3%) on it and its getting hit a lot garnering a .504 xSLG. The secondaries have been just fine, the slider gets plenty of whiffs, just beat a little when contact does get made. All Lyles has to do is polish that fastball up and things will be much better.

On a brighter note Lyles gets the Mariners and almost anyone at this price against them is worth it. Especially if that roof is closed.

Honorable Mentions: Wade LeBlanc

Top Fade: Blake Snell ($9,400 DK / ($8,500 FD)

I know, I know. This is a great spot for Snell to light it up, but he was under 60 pitches thrown last time out and the Rays will not let him go too deep here. I love Snell but it looks like hes still a couple starts away from being 100% stretched out and we can dodge this price knowing that.

Honorable Mention: None

MLB DFS: The Bases

There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.

We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Wednesday’s Main Slate.

Top Stacks

1. Houston Astros – The Astros have been beating up on the Giants all week and that shouldn’t change today as the Giants are rolling out Trevor Cahill. Cahill hasnt thrown since hurting his finger in July and this lines up as a scary season debut.
2. New York Yankees– The Atlanta pitching staff is in shambles at the moment. The Braves are recalling Bryce Wilson to face the Yanks and should tear the young prospect up.

Value Stacks

1. Minnesota Twins – Not tons of value to be had as the big bats are priced accordingly usually but I have to have some Twins action today as they get ready to face Eric Lauer who gave 6 earned runs is his last start vs the reds.
2. Tampa Bay Rays – The Red Sox are rolling out Zach Godley who is touting a 1.50 WHIP through 11 IPs this season. I liked the Rays yesterday and they threw up an 8 spot. I expect more of the same tonight.

Monkey Knife Fight

Using the information above, you can even make some money on Monkey Knife Fight! As I said I like the Yankees stack here and you can stack 3 of their offensive players to hit the over on at least 15.5 fantasy points and win 5x your money! Check out how to play with our quick overview here.

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Ross Stripling ($7,900 DK / $8,300 FD)

Stripling is dirt cheap on this long Tuesday slate. Stripling has opened the season well, the curveball is incredible as always and the command is there. The Padres see Stripling a lot, and once already this year where they got him for 4 earned in 5.2ip. Strip did get the Padres for 7 strikeouts though, as he has in 2 out of 3 starts so far this year

Honorable Mentions: Garret Richards

Top Ace(s): Max Scherzer ($10,800 DK / $10,700 FD) Dylan Bundy ($9,700 DK / $9,700 FD)

Mad Max came out of the game last week with a bad back but is returning today. Anytime Max is on the mound you can count me in.

Bundy has looked amazing this year, and is coming off a complete game where he produced 30 called strikes to go along with 10 Ks. The Athletics prove to be a tough opponent as they have 9 runs against Bundy’s Angels as I am writing this, but Bundy has already carved up the A’s for 7 Ks once this year.

Honorable Mention: Zach Wheeler

Punt Play: Zac Gallen ($8,600 DK / $7,100 FD)

Coors is undefeated. But damn is Zac Gallen good. This is such a tempting play to me, as Gallen has just made it through the gauntlet of the Dodgers and Astros in back to back starts with a combined 12.0ip/4 ER/1.08 WHIP and 2 BBs to 15Ks. On the bright side, his draft percentage will be extremely low, on the not so bright side.. Coors.

Honorable Mentions: Josh Lindblom / Jordon Montgomery

Top Fade: Mike Minor ($9,600 DK / ($7,500 FD)

Minor has not looked like his 2019 self so far thus year, the fastball is slower, and the slider usage is up trying to compensate for that. That approach is not working. The price is high here and it is rumored that Minor will be on a limited pitch count. This is going to be a high draft percentage play that I feel comfortable dodging.

Honorable Mention: Mike Fiers

MLB DFS: The Bases

There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.

We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Tuesday’s Main Slate.

Top Stacks

1. Arizona Diamondbacks – The Diamondbacks are starting to hit, they are playing in Coors. That is all.
2. Boston Red Sox – The Rays and Red Sox game was a bloodbath last night and tonight should be no different, the Rays are either going opener or Anthony Banda from the taxi squad.

Value Stacks

1. Los Angeles Angels – Trout and the Angels get Mike Fiers tonight, both Trout and Pujols crush Fiers, combining for 8 bombs against him. The rest on the Angels are hitting .361 with a .553 SLG against Fiers.
2. Tampa Bay Rays – The Red Sox are rolling out Martin Perez who had an okay outing against the same Rays last week, I just can’t trust that fastball sitting at 91mph with a meh change up kicking it.

Monkey Knife Fight

Using the information above, you can even make some money on Monkey Knife Fight! As I said I like the Dbacks stack here and you can stack 3 of their offensive players to hit the over on at least 12.5 fantasy points and win 3x your money! Check out how to play with our quick overview here.

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Luis Castillo ($8,900 DK / $9,900 FD)

Castillo got beat up a bit last time out against the Tigers of all teams. I am ready brush that off though as he produced a massive 22 whiffs through the outing. The usually great changeup was left in the zone in a bit and got knocked around letting in 5 runs.

Castillo should have a good bounce back week facing off against a Cleveland team that has one of the worst barrel rates in the league coming in at 3.8% right now.

Honorable Mentions: Dylan Bundy

Top Ace(s): Mike Clevinger ($9,200 DK / $9,600 FD) Yu Darvish($10,400 DK / $9,500 FD)

Darvish looked great carving up the Pirates for 7ks over 6 shutout innings. Darvish is starting to find his form this year and now gets the Royals who are in the top 5 in Ks, and the bottom 5 in walks taken.

Clevinger wasn’t his normal mad man self last appearance, allowing 4 earned runs and a ugly 5 walks. Now, he did face an evil Twins lineup who is ruining every pitchers day, but he was not the 34% K rate Clevinger we saw last year. I still believe in Clevinger though and the walks should come down and Ks up.

Honorable Mention: Hyun Jin Ryu

Punt Play: Randy Dobnak ($7,000 DK / $6,600 FD)

Dobnak tossed 5 scoreless innings against the Indians last time out. Dobnak isn’t going to wow anyone with a performance but he should be a safe play to get a bunch of outs against Pittsburgh.

Honorable Mentions: Ross Stripling / Garret Richards

Top Fade: Sean Manaea ($8,600 DK / $6,800 FD)

$8,600 seems hefty here. Its so tough to be effective while sitting at 89-90mph on the 4-seamer. Manaea had a hard time getting outs against Seattle so it’ll be a bit before we look forward to one of his starts.

Honorable Mention: Adrian Houser

MLB DFS: The Bases

There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.

We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Wednesday’s Main Slate.

Top Stacks

1. Minnesota Twins – The Twins continue to tear apart anyone in their path. Trevor Williams and the reinforcements of the Pirates pen should be no exception
2. Colorado Rockies – Not much to say here. The Rockies will be ready to tee off against Logan Webb in Coors.

Value Stacks

1. Toronto Blue Jays– The Blue Jays draw Sean Newcomb today and a ailing Braves staff. Newcomb has only made it through 7.2ip through 2 starts with a measly 5 strikeouts. On top of that Newcomb is allowing a 40% hard hit rate.
2. San Francisco Giants– This seems like an obvious one to me. The Giants might have a high draft percentage today but its always good to have a piece of the Coors action.

Please make sure you keep an eye on the weather and other factors as those are always important things to monitor when playing MLB DFS. Be sure to check out our MLB DFS Projections as well. Without further ado, it’s Aces and Bases time.

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Frankie Montas ($7,200 DK / $7,700 FD)

Montas scared me a bit last week, only producing 3Ks and 3 whiffs on the slider. The redeeming factor was his sinker. The sinker was coming in a tick slower at 95mph, but he was able stay on the edges and make it through 5 innings on 77 pitches. Montas draws the Mariners today and hopefully we see the strikeout numbers jump up here.

Honorable Mentions: Chris Paddack

Top Ace(s): Walker Buehler ($10,300 DK / $10,000 FD) Jacob DeGrom ($11,600 DK / $10,700 FD) Gerrit Cole ($11,000 / $11,000)

Walker got through just 56 pitches with 3Ks last time out against the Astros. It was not the prettiest start either. The Padres present an easier challenge and Buehler’s fastball still looked as good as we believe it is. Buehler will be a good play with all the top names on the board today.

DeGrom touched 101mph his last time out! He is dope and does dope things. The Braves lineup is not the easiest but if anyone is match up proof its DeGrom.

Speaking of being dope. Gerrit Cole gets the Phillies today. Cole racked up 7Ks facing Baltimore last week, letting up 3 earned over his 6.2 innings pitched. Cole is yet another option on pick your ace day.

Honorable Mention: Mike Soroka

Punt Play: Carlos Rodon ($7,000 DK / $6,600 FD)

This one is a bit shaky. Rodon’s sliders was awesome last year, sadly it has not been consistently good so far this year. Rodon is always a bit of a toss up but this Brewers line up simply is not that scary, especially with the way Yelich has started his year.

Honorable Mention: Danny Duffy

Top Fade: Brett Anderson ($7,300 DK / $6,700 FD)

The veteran lefty is going to make his season debut against a white hot White Sox team that is finding their stride at the plate. The lineup is loaded with right handed power and should continue rolling here in Milwaukee

Honorable Mention: Nobody

MLB DFS: The Bases

There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.

We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Monday’s Main Slate.

Top Stacks

1. Minnesota Twins – The Twins square up with Derek Holland tomorrow. Holland has always struggled getting righties out and the twins heart of the order is stacked with right handed power. Get the big bats in here.
2. Chicago White Sox – The White Sox are white hot right now, scoring 20 runs in their last two contests. Just like the twins they get a good lefty match up, with plenty of right handed middle of the order power.

Value Stacks

1. Oakland Athletics– The Athletics get the Mariners to start the week, a rotation and bullpen we will be picking often this year. I did not love Sheffields approach in his first outing, saw way too many sinkers and not enough 4-seamers. Look at the back end of the lineup here for some good plays.
2. San Francisco Giants– This seems like an obvious one to me. The Giants might have a high draft percentage today but its always good to have a piece of the Coors action.

MLB DFS: The Aces

Best Value: Tyler Chatwood ($8,200 DK / $8,000 FD)

Tyler Chatwood, I can’t believe i’m saying this, but he looked good! There was some command there (only 2BBs) and man was the stuff good. The biggest change we saw with Chatwood was the cutter usage increase, he tossed it about 30% of the time last time out and saw great results striking out 8 over 6 innings, even had a extra tick of velo on it!

Chatwood draws a good match up today in the Pirates, hopefully he picks up where he left off, and for $8,000 i’m willing to take the chance.

Honorable Mentions: Luke Weaver

Top Ace(s): Tyler Glasnow ($9,300 DK / $9,800 FD) Carlos Carrasco ($9,200 / $9,400)

Carrasco was back to his usual self striking out 10 over 6 innings while only giving up one free pass in his season debut. Going to continue to trust Carlos and pretty much everyone else on this Indians staff until they give us a reason not to.

Glasnow looked like his amazing first half self against Atlanta to open to season, striking out 9 over only 4 innings! The Braves did manage get the pitch count up though so it was a bit of a early departure. Glasnow is going to have a high draft percentage today against Baltimore but he has reasonable price.

Honorable Mention: Nobody

Punt Play: Griffin Canning ($8,700 DK / $7,200 FD)

Pretty crazy price difference here. I’m sticking with Canning, even with this tough match up against the Astros, I believe in the stuff and the approach. Canning struck out 7 in just 4.2IP last time out but things got a bit hairy a couple times, and he let 3 runs come across. Canning should have a low draft percentage today, and i like his price much more on FD, but still worth a play on DK if you wanna load the bats up today.

Honorable Mention: Mitch Keller

Top Fade: Zach Grienke ($10,800 DK / $9,000 FD)

This price tag is crazy. Grienke’s fastball was coming in 87mph in his first start against the Mariners. That just does not play. We have seen this from Grienke before as his velo is usually down during sprig training and the first month of the season, so there is a chance he ramps it back it up to the usual 90mph or so this time out, but the Angels have been hitting lately. Im going to stick to the plays above, even without Trout in the lineup.

Honorable Mention: Julio Urias

MLB DFS: The Bases

There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.

We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Saturday Main Slate.

Top Stacks

1. Chicago White Sox – The Sox are coming together, adding another piece of the puzzle yesterday with Nick Madrigal joining the big league club. The Sox are facing the back end of the Royals rotation and should have no problem throwing some runs on the board.

1. New York Yankees  – The Red Sox are rolling out Zack Godley to start the game and will be going to the bullpen early on the account of Godley not being stretched out yet. The usually high priced Yanks are a bit easier to stomach today with the premiums being placed on the Colorado game.

Value Stacks

1. Kansas City Royals – The Royals have been great stacks to start the season, incredibly cheap for the production they are providing and just continue to hit. They draw the veteran Gio Gonzelaz today and will look to beat up on him early.
   
2. Seattle Mariners – The Mariners have been playing some high scoring contests lately. Kyle Lewis is on insane heater right now and these bats will cost nothing and should have a low draft percentage.
