MLB GPP Stacks 9/27

In this article I will be breaking down MLB GPP Stacks 9/27.In this article I will be breaking down MLB GPP Stacks 9/27. I will inform you with at one pitcher and three team stacks that strike my interesIf I am interested in a player on only one site, I will be site specific. I will be using DraftKings pricing for this article.

On this breakdown of MLB GPP Stacks 9/27, we have the final regular season slate to breakdown and we fifteen games to breakdown. Again, the top prize DraftKings is offering is just 5K, significantly smaller than usual. I will likely only have one lineup for this giant MLB slate. With this massive slate there will likely be some weather issues to look at so make sure to check into the Discord Chat rooms to keep updated on that. On top of that I feel with this being the season finale that some lineups could be altered severely, or teams may sit a pitcher to have him in the first round of the playoffs. The Discord Chat room will be your friend today, so join myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff for the potential of tons of slate altering news possible.

Pitcher

JT Brubaker ($7,600)

Brubaker has started to look better striking out nine in his latest outing against the Cubs. He has solid strikeout numbers as he is near 25% K rate against both sides of the plate. A good 15.6% swinging strike percentage with an exit velocity of just 84 MPH to right-handed hitters this season. As for left-handed hitting they have an ISO of just .112 this season off of Brubaker. According to my calculations of the AL Central standings the Indians are locked into the seven seed so shouldn’t have anything to play for. Keep an eye on the Indians lineup and Brubaker could see an even better opportunity for strikeouts.

GPP Stacks

Colorado Rockies

Colorado is going to see a declining Madison Bumgarner as he’s allowed 13 homeruns on just under 37 innings pitched. He has primarily struggled against right-handed hitting, only obtaining an 11.5% K rate and 7.5% swinging strike rate. The homerun numbers show as Mad Bum has allowed an ISO of .357 to right-handed hitters. Struggles against right-handed hitters goes further as he has allowed a .421 wOBA and an average exit velocity of 91.5 MPH. These Colorado righties should be in a prime spot to do some damage against a declining pitcher.

1. Josh Fuentes (ISO of .286 and wOBA of .338 vs left-handed pitching)
2. Kevin Pillar (ISO .240 and wOBA of .395 vs left-handed pitching)
3. Trevor Story (ISO of .295 and wOBA of .447 vs left-handed pitching)

Houston Astros

Houston will matchup against Jordan Lyles, a pitcher that has given up eleven homeruns in 54 innings pitched. Lyles has missed few bats with K rates from both sides of the plate is below 13%. We also see this is evident as he has a total swinging strike rate of below 7%. Another reason to pick on Lyles is his total wOBA of .348. Lastly Lyles has given up an ISO of .261 to right-handed hitters this season. Should be a good matchup for Houston to try to find something before the playoffs.

1. Michael Brantley (ISO of .202 and wOBA of .395 vs right-handed pitching)
2. George Springer (ISO of .274 and wOBA of .384 vs right-handed pitching)
3. Kyle Tucker (ISO of .271 and wOBA of .372 vs right-handed pitching)

New York Mets

Squaring off against Austin Voth the Mets see a pitcher who has allowed 12 homeruns in just 44 innings pitched. That leads him to have an extremely high ISO against right-handed hitters of .323 and an ISO of .230 to left-handed hitters. Voth has also given up an average exit velocity of 90 MPH to right-handed hitters this season. Throughout this season Voth has given up an ISO of .327 to left-handed hitters off his fastball. The Mets are in a great spot to have a good day hitting with the large homeruns per nine innings Voth gives up.

1. Brandon Nimmo (ISO of .252 and wOBA of .421 vs right-handed pitching)
2. Jeff McNeil (ISO of .193 and wOBA of .388 vs right-handed pitching)
3. Dominic Smith (ISO of .339 and wOBA of .427 vs right-handed pitching)

Thank you for reading my article MLB GPP Stacks 9/27, a fifteen-game slate on this Sunday afternoon. As I mentioned earlier if you’re unable to check in and keep updated on information as it comes in this slate won’t be for you. I expect that some teams may rest a starting pitcher or possibly some star players going into these MLB Playoffs. Check into the Discord Chat Rooms to be informed on starting lineups and potential weather issues. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon watching NFL or MLB whichever it may be. As always best of luck and take down a GPP.

MLB GPP Stacks 9/19

In this article I will be breaking down MLB GPP Stacks 9/19. I will inform you with at least one player per position that strikes my interest and If I am interested in a player on only one site, I will be site specific. I will be using DraftKings pricing for this article.

For Sunday we will be breaking down MLB GPP Stacks 9/19 eight game slate. I will be doing stacks today since the highest DraftKings payout for baseball is 5K again with football back. Today’s highest projected run total is the Yankees vs Red Sox game at ten runs. Pitching this slate could be ugly if Carrasco is held out as the second highest priced pitcher would be Dylan Cease who has a 4.15 ERA on the road. Don’t forget to join myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff In the Discord Chat rooms as we confirm our picks as lineups get locked.

Pitcher

Josh Lindblom ($8,100)

Some players may see that he’s been listed out lately, but it was a short stay on the bereavement list. He has been a strikeout pitcher specifically against right-handed hitters striking out 35% of right handed hitters. Hitters have an ISO of .016 against him which is clearly about as awful as it gets. Much of Lindblom’s struggle has been facing left handed hitters and the Royals have 0 that truly scare me. The Royals also only have two players that have an ISO above .200 coming into this game. The strikeout upside is there and the Royals don’t have good left handed hitters, this should be a fantastic spot for Lindblom.

GPP Stacks

New York Mets

These Mets left-handed hitters draw an excellent matchup against the Braves Kyle Wright. His 7.2 ERA and over 2 WHIP are not the only significant numbers working in the Mets favor. Wright has given up an ISO of .286 and massive wOBA of .502 against left-handed hitters. To put the icing on the cake he hasn’t been missing many bats either with just a 15.5% K rate and swinging strike percentage below 10 percent.

1. Brandon Nimmo ( ISO of .270, wOBA of .425 and seven of his eight homeruns have been off right handed pitchers.)
2. Dominic Smith (ISO of .324 and wOBA of .439 against righties)
3. Jeff Mcneil (has a hit in 9 of his last 10 games and is was too cheap at $3,400)

Houston Astros

We must look at the obvious here which is Madison Bumgarner has been atrocious, specifically against right-handed hitters. Let’s start with he is missing significantly fewer bats as he holds a strikeout rate of 9.5% and swinging strike rate of just 7% against right-handed hitters. Now we take a deeper look at his struggles to find he has given up a humongous ISO of .402 and wOBA of .452 against right-handed hitters this season. We should also remember that this Astros stack although not as dominant is very affordable against a declining pitcher.

1. George Springer (ISO of .310 and wOBA of .331 against lefties)
2. Alex Bregman (ISO of .257 and wOBA of .448 against lefties)
3. Yuli Gurriel (ISO of .333 and wOBA of .416 against lefties)

Tampa Bay Rays

This team is facing John Means who has given up ten homeruns in just 32 innings pitched this season. Means has been bad against both sides of the plate as ISO is around .255 and wOBA around .350 for both sides. For what is worth Means also has an ERA of nine in six home starts and he is playing at home today. I have been attacking Means all season for the evident reason of being unable to keep the ball in the yard. If you don’t want to stack these Rays hitters you can always use them as a one off with Means homerun track record.

1. Randy Arozarena (ISO of .600 and wOBA of .570 against lefties)
2. Hunter Renfroe (ISO of .395 and wOBA of .343 against lefties)
3. Brandon Lowe (ISO of .391 and wOBA of .452 against lefties)

That will conclude this article of MLB GPP Stacks 9/19 for the Sunday eight game slate. We have another Football Sunday to go along with this MLB slate. Should have another Sunday fun day of sports, DFS, and season long fantasy leagues to keep an eye on today. Hop over in the Discord Chat rooms to join myself and all the WinDaily staff as we breakdown any lineup adjustments based upon the release of team’s lineups. Enjoy this glorious Sunday full of sports and thanks for reading my content! Goodluck!

MLB DFS: Starting Rotation 9.16

We knew it was going to be a fairly tough slate and the results tended to show. Some pitchers did well like Yu Darvish and Matt Boyd while others were iffy, like Jack Flaherty. Tonight’s slate is great up top with four legit aces and then the bottom really falls out. It’s a night better spent with double aces and being creative with bats, but let’s take a closer look for MLB DFS: Starting Rotation 9.16!

Cash Options

Jacob deGrom

Pitch Data – FB – 7th SL – 20th CH – 1st

I was joking with Brian that I could likely write Picks and Pivots for him since we get deGrom on a #LesterDay, but I’ll let him handle the second part. In any other spot, the pitching data would give me pause. It doesn’t when it’s deGrom and he racked up 38.8 DK last time against Philly. For some unknown reason, his price actually went down $100 from the last time he was on a regular slate. deGrom should never be this cheap.

The K rate is 37.8%, the WHIP is 0.87, the ERA is 1.67…you start to run out of ways to describe the dominance. The swinging strike rate is an astounding 21.1% and there is literally no reason to not just lock him in.

Gerrit Cole

Pitch Data – FB – 17th SL – 18th CH – 11th

Cole has had a big weakness this year and it’s been lefty hitters (and not keeping the ball in the park). The lefties aren’t a giant concern with the Blue Jays lineup as they don’t have a lot of power lefties to worry about. Cole’s strikeout rate has come down a bit to just 33.2% but that’s still plenty to use under $10,000.

His swinging strike rate is down about 1% from last year but it’s still almost 16%. Cole has shown some flaws compared to last year but the salary is so easy to pay for. The upside is still there as his last two starts have generated 27.9 and 41 DK. To pair up deGrom and Cole for barely over $20,000 is not something to be done very often.

GPP Options

Lucas Giolito

Pitch Data – FB – 12th CH – 9th SL – 19th

I’m not sure I could mount a strong case to not play Giolito in cash, but he would definitely be my third choice. What’s interesting here is he’s coming off a start where he was the overwhelming chalk. Giolito really stunk against expectations in that one. Now the matchup ramps up to get much tougher. I doubt many flock to him given the other options.

Giolito has shown he can get it done against the Twins. He has a 20.3 DK start against this team and they do strike out quite a bit to RHP at 24.9%. The flip side is they are top-eight across almost every single offensive category. He could be the least -used ace of the bunch and that’s worth it alone in GPP.

Aaron Nola

Pitch Data – FB – 5th CH – 3rd CB – 11th

I usually don’t go after the Mets with pitching. The MLB DFS: Starting Rotation 9.16 could be an exception. They only whiff 21.6% of the time and they lead the league in average, OBP and wRC+ to RHP. However, Nola is a true ace and has got them twice this year. He’s generated 18 strikeouts in two starts and he does have a 35.5% K rate on the year.

Nola pitches better at home with just a 1.57 ERA and he’s a hair better to LHB at a .247 wOBA. He does strike out the right side of the plate at a much higher rate, but that hasn’t bothered him against the Mets yet. Much like Giolito, Nola could be far overlooked on this slate.

Honorable Mention – Brian Singer (I’ll give any RHP against the Tigers a look, especially at the salary)

Monkey Knife Fight

If we’re looking for the most amount of strikeouts in a single game, look no further than the Mets at the Phillies. With deGrom and Nola on the mound, I’m going for broke as they have the ability to post 20 total tonight.

In this article I will be breaking down MLB GPP Stacks 9/13. I will inform you with three teams that you may stack, with three players from that team that are interesting GPP plays for today’s slate. I will be using DraftKings pricing for this article.

Today we will be breaking down MLB GPP Stacks 9/13 eight game slate. I will be doing stacks today since NFL will take over most of DraftKings focus on Sundays, as the highest top prize offered for baseball today is 5K. I myself am not a huge fan of this slate either, so I may have one lineup for baseball at best. Regardless we are going to break down this Sunday afternoon slate, with the first game on the slate between Baltimore vs The Yankees being the highest total in Vegas at ten runs. In any case of a weather delay or to find confirmed lineups, head over to the Discord Chat Rooms as myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff will be happy to provide the information we contain.

Pitcher

Triston McKenzie – ($8,100)

This young kid has been impressive early in his Major League career, with a WHIP of just .76 and 26 strikeouts in just 21 innings. Now this is a GPP only play as the Twins lineup can go deep very easily and knock him out. You may ask why McKenzie then? He still has great upside with his strikeout percentage is 34.2% and a swinging strike rate of just under 14%. The Twins, who hit the ball out of the ballpark also strikeout a huge amount, as they have five players with a strikeout rate above 30% and seven above 20%. When you add all that together this young pitcher has great upside in this matchup with a reasonable price tag.

MLB GPP Stacks 9/13

New York Yankees

The Yankees are in a great position to stack or even pick just one player with power to go deep (Luke Voit). John Means has given up an atrocious nine homeruns in just twenty-six innings this season. A couple great reasons you can stack against him are. He has only worked from ahead in the count 43% of the time this season, his hard to soft contact differential is nearly 30%, and right-handed hitters have a massive .329 ISO off Means this season. Clearly right-handed bats hit better off Means, so this is my Yankees stack.

1. DJ LeMahieu (has 0% soft contact vs lefties this season)
2. Luke Voit (ISO of .469 and wOBA of .416 off lefties)
3. Aaron Hicks (.352 wOBA and hard hit of 50% off lefties)

Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati is facing another pitcher that has given up homeruns this season in Carlos Martinez giving up ten runs and three homeruns in just seven and one third innings. His other numbers have been terrible as well only showing a strikeout percentage of 13%, hard contact of 60%, and exit velocity above 95MPH 41% of the time this season. Lastly, he is giving up a total ISO of .328 and wOBA of .456. The following are the Reds players that catch my eye based upon their numbers.

1. Nick Castellanos (ISO of .309 and wOBA of .371 vs righties)
2. Jesse Winker (ISO of .292 and wOBA of .401 vs righties)
3. Mike Moustakas (.365 wOBA and 47.8% hard hit rate vs righties)

Detroit Tigers

The Tigers are facing a rookie pitcher that until now has never seen anything above High-A level baseball and it isn’t like he dominated down there with an ERA of 3.5. This lineup offers me salary saving against a young inexperienced pitcher to get my more expensive bats listed above. We have no advanced pitching metrics for this rookie coming from the minors so I will jump into the Detroit bats that intrigue me.

1. Jeimer Candelario (.243 ISO and .369 wOBA vs righties)
2. Willi Castro (ISO of .250 and wOBA of .408 vs righties)
3. Jorge Bonifacio (54.2% FB rate and 66% 95MPH exit velo off righties)

That will end this Sunday’s edition of MLB GPP Stacks 9/13 an eight-game noon slate. We have all major sports playing today so it will be a dream Sunday full of sports for me. It does not look as if we will need to watch any weather for this slate of MLB games today. Which may be a good thing if you set some MLB lineups and then get caught up in watching football. To talk more about NFL or MLB join myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff in the Discord Chat Rooms as we get more of our ideas and thoughts on the table over there.  Have a wonderful Sunday and I wish you the best of luck in all your lineups whether it be MLB, or NFL. Thanks for reading my content and let us make it a profitable Sunday.

MLB GPP Picks 8/30

In this article I will be breaking down MLB GPP Picks 8/30. I will inform you with at least one player per position that strikes my interest and If I am interested in a player on only one site, I will be site specific. I will be using DraftKings pricing for this article.

For this MLB GPP Picks 8/30 afternoon slate we will have a ten-game slate to breakdown. The Boston vs Washington game has a projected total of 11 ½ currently which will likely be the largest for this slate. Interesting pricing on pitchers for this slate as no one is priced above 10K and Kenta Maeda is your highest priced pitcher at $9,600. There doesn’t appear to be any weather that to keep an eye on but in case that changes head over to the Discord Chat rooms as myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff stays updated on all news and we solidify our top plays as lineups are confirmed.

Pitcher

Blake Snell – ($9,200)

Finally eclipsing one hundred pitches this season, Snell has shaken his restrictions and appears to have found himself recording nine strikeouts last outing. The Marlins have been awful against left-handed pitching with seven hitters above a 20% K rate and only one hitter with an ISO above .150. With a 33.3% strikeout rate and nearly a 15% swinging strike percentage allows Snell to have huge upside with this matchup.

Catcher

Jacob Nottingham – ($2,300)

Nottingham being a young player that just got called up my biggest concern would be strikeouts. Lucky for Nottingham the opposing pitcher Steven Brault fails to miss bats with a strikeout rate of just 14.1% this season, only getting swinging strikes on 6% of his pitches, and a contact rate of 83.2%. I love this spend down spot for a cheap catcher.

1^st base

Mitch Moreland – ($4,700)

Moreland has mauled right-handed pitching this season with an eye-opening ISO of .509, a wOBA of .518, flyball rate of 52.5%, and a hard hit rate of 57.5%. The opposing pitcher Austin Voth has given up a 50% hard hit rate to left-handed hitters this season, while missing few bats. This is a plus matchup for Moreland today.

2^nd base

Nick Madrigal – ($2,500)

I’m a big fan of the White Sox facing left-handed pitchers and Madrigal provides some salary relief and can be used with Tim Anderson. Madrigal won’t have to do much to pay off this price tag, as if he gets his first extra base hit that would about get him there. I especially like him because he will likely bat ninth and Tim Anderson bats leadoff, so you get the wrap around the lineup.

Short Stop

Tim Anderson – ($5,500)

Anderson is a tough guy to pass up based upon his success this season against left-handed pitching. Against lefties Anderson has a massive ISO of .786, a wOBA of .764, and a hard-hit percentage of 73.5%. Facing a left-handed pitcher that carries a poor hit percentage of just 1.9% and a swinging strike percentage of only 8.5%. Given this matchup Anderson should have success as much of the White Sox lineup should as they rake left-handed pitching this season.

3^rd base

Rafael Devers – ($4,700)

Obviously, the same pitching matchup applies here as Moreland and the stats against left-handed hitters. 41% of baseballs hit in play for Voth have an exit velocity above 95 MPH. Devers has seen right-handed pitching better as he has a soft contact percentage of 6.3% and a hard-hit percent of 50%. This game has a high total so you want pieces from it and I will focus on some Boston lefties.

OF

Juan Soto – ($5,700)

As good of a match-up as you can get for Soto, facing Godley who has given a 44.3% hard hit rate this season. Godley also has a walk rate of above 10% so there should be plenty of scoring opportunities for Washington as this game has a high total. Soto has smashed right-handed pitching with an ISO of .391, a wOBA of .525, and a hard-hit percentage of 63.9%. Soto should have a productive game against Boston today.

That will finish my weekend and this slate of MLB GPP Picks 8/30. Ownership for pitching should be spread out today as several options at the top are viable and none are too spendy. It is a slightly bigger Sunday slate as in the past we’ve had seven or eight game slates now we have ten. With more games we have more lineups and weather to watch so be sure to join myself and the WinDaily staff in the Discord chat rooms as we lock our picks when lineups and weather news trickles in. Thanks for reading my article, enjoy your Sunday morning, and good luck I hope you take down a GPP!
