FanDuel MLB Daily Lineups: Monday Main Slate Summary

Happy Monday! We start the week off with a nice 9-game MLB DFS Main Slate on Fanduel. Unlike the weekend slates full of stud pitching, tonight can get ugly quickly. On slates like these, I think it’s best to focus in on one or two pitchers and really narrow down your player pool. It’s a nice night to take a stand and it’s also a Coors Field night…

In regards to weather, it looks like a relatively quiet night outside of the White Sox @ Tigers game (I won’t roster a pitcher from that game due to rain delay concerns unless things change before lock). Let’s get to it on FanDuel tonight.

MLB DFS: Top Pitching Plays

On FanDuel, I think it’s quite important to ensure you roster an arm that has short odds in Vegas to get the win and someone that is likely to go 6+ innings to get those Quality Start bonuses FanDuel applies. Here are the pitchers that fit that mold tonight:

  • Kyle Gibson (-190) – Mariners have the highest implied k-rate on this slate. Gibson is a big favorite. No need to get cute in cash games, use Gibson.
  • Patrick Corbin (-122) – not a big favorite tonight, but likely to lead the slate in strikeouts (6.5K prop with juice on the over)
  • Dustin May (-155) – The Padres have a very high implied k-rate and have a putrid .138 ISO against right-handers. May looked great last time out and should be able to ride the momentum for his second win of the season.
  • Lance McCullers (-200) – Not really a fan of his as he’s looked below average in last two starts, but San Francisco has the third lowest implied total on the slate and have been striking out over 23% of the time against right-handers. McCullers is a big favorite for a reason.
  • Dallas Keuchel (-150) – Again, check the weather before lock. As of now (1PM CST), it looks very risky to roster Keuchel tonight. If the anticipated rain blows over, Keuchel will post a quality start and a win just by showing up at the stadium.
  • Ryan Yarbrough (-145) – Yarbrough is a nice pivot for GPP lineups and salary relief to fit in some Coors Field exposure. He got beat up by this Boston lineup his last time out, but he has slate leading swing-and-miss stuff against a Red Sox lineup posting a below average .145 ISO against lefties.

All in all, I don’t think it’s necessary to pay up for Patrick Corbin tonight (especially in cash games). We all know we want to get some exposure to Coors Field tonight and it will be very difficult to do so if you roster Corbin. Having said that, I do like Corbin a lot for GPP’s for that very same reason.

MLB DFS: Hitting Stacks, Value, and Best Plays

Well, it’s a Coors Field night… so the offense is pretty easy. Stack the chalky Rockies and Diamondbacks. You know who the studs are that you want to play, but you can also find some value with guys like Elias Diaz ($2,500), Jake Lamb ($2,500), Stephen Vogt ($2,500), Matt Kemp ($3,300), Kole Calhoun ($3,300), and Garrett Hampson ($3,000).

If you’re looking for some other stacks, I’m a big fan of getting some exposure to both the Chicago White Sox (5.0 implied run total) and the Los Angeles Dodgers at home with a 5.05 implied run total. Both offenses should be rather low-owned tonight and offer a nice pivot off of Coors Field.

As lineups start to post for the night, I’ll update this article with some of my top value plays, but for the most part, I’m all about Coors Field tonight.

10/26 DFS MLB: DK Showdown(8:07 p.m. EST)

Thegame: World Series Game 4 – Houston Astros at Washington Nationals, 8:07 p.m.EST

The projected implied totals have this game about dead even at4.25 runs apiece. The 8.5 total is the highest of the series so far.

10/26 DFS SP Strategy andGame Notes

A quick word on starting pitching: Patrick Corbin (DK $15,600/$10,400) is worth a look even at his high price for his strikeout upside, but the Astros lineup doesn’t whiff at the rates the Dodgers did, so I’m not nearly as intrigued by his impressive but small-sample 17.58 K/9 rate this postseason. Last night’s winning GPP entries didn’t have any shares of the pitchers, so I’ll be fading both and focusing on adding the right bats. We nailed Victor Robles yesterday and need more of those calls to take down a GPP.

I’ll mix in some shares of Corbin and Jose Urquidy (DK $11,700/$7,800) who’s got some upside but will pitch about 4.0 IP maximum – since he hasn’t reached 50 pitches in either of his postseason outings. Those Urquidy outings have been effective (16.62 K/9, 2.08 ERA, 2.98 FIP in 4.1 IP), but he’d likely need to exceed 12 DK points to make him a viable GPP option, so I’ll have limited exposure.

Let’s get tothe bats.

10/26 DFS Hitters

I’m partial to George Springer, Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez on Houston for their ability to hit Corbin’s main offerings of fastballs and sliders, but since Alvarez sits, we’ll use Michael Brantley. Once again, I’ll have more shares of the Astros in GPPs than Nats hitters. For Washington, I’ll be using larger shares of Soto, Rendon and Eaton, who has multiple hits in three straight games and is almost as expensive as Jose Altuve.

10/26 DFS Washington Nationals bats

Juan Soto (DK $16,200/$10,800)

Soto scuffled abit at the plate last night, but he draws a perfectly exploitable matchupagainst a hittable Astros opener and RHP-only bullpen. I’m not going to fadehim in this spot.

Anthony Rendon (DK $16,500/$11,000)

Rendon destroys fastballs and remains a key part of the Natslineup. He’s just too expensive (the most expensive in the Showdown, actually) touse in every lineup, and there’s better value out there on the Houston sidethis game. But he hasn’t homered since the Dodgers series, so he’s due.

Adam Eaton (DK $13,800/$7,600)

Eaton has multiple hits in there straight and we listed him as avalue play along with Robles. Both were in the winning GPP last night. Whilethe price has come up for the Nats’ two-hitter, he had a .152 ISO vs. RHPs thisseason and he’s on a hot streak – and that’s plenty of reason to keep usinghim.

Spotlight Value: Yan Gomes (DK $8,700/$5,800)

If Kurt Suzuki sits, this is a no-brainer value to mix in. Gomes will be guaranteed ABs at his home park, and despite the fact he likes to hit lefties better (.217 ISO vs. LHPs in 2019) than righties, he’s still sporting a .151 ISO against RHPs – an acceptable figure at this low price. He’s not a must-play, but he’s worth using in GPPs for his power and guaranteed ABs if Suzuki is unavailable. I still like Robles too, but he’s expensive now.

Other 10/26 DFS options:Trea Turner (DK $15,000/$10,000), Ryan Zimmerman (DK $11,100/$7,400), VictorRobles (DK $12,300/$8,200)

10/26DFS Houston Astros bats

George Springer (DK $14,700/$9,800)

Springer is starting to heat up and make things happenoffensively. He reached base three times last night and had a pair of SBs, andhe matches up extremely well against LHP Patrick Corbin. I think Corbin couldrocked from the first pitch he throws, and Springer has hit 36 leadoff homeruns in his career already.

Alex Bregman (DK$13,500/$9,000)

He’s cheaper than Adam Eaton now. Let that sink in, then plug himinto all your cash games and most of your GPPs. Yesterday’s 0-5 showingfeatured just one K, and he destroys LHPs, so I’m far from fading him.

Jose Altuve (DK $14,100/$9,400)

Altuve is a fine play in GPPs and his price has come down. We can probably build a few lineups stacking the Astros 1-4 hitters at these prices, and filling in with value plays from Washington and/or some low-cost relievers.

Spotlight Value: MichaelBrantley ($10,200/$6,800)

The price on Brantley just refuses to come up, and he’s coming offtwo straight two-hit games – last night’s being the best of the series so far.He does come out of the lineup in the later innings for a defensive replacement,but he can do enough damage in his first three ABs to neutralize that.

Other 10/26 DFS options: Yuri Gurriel (DK $10,800/$7,200), Carlos Correa (DK $11,400/$7,600), Josh Reddick (DK $6,300/$4,200), Robinson Chirinos (DK $7,500/$5,000) or Martin Maldonado ($6,000/$4,000) – whomever gets the start

9/23 MLB DFS Pitching and Prop Picks

This five-game 9/23 MLB DFS slate is a rather odd duck. Besides the simple fact we have a small player pool to choose from, we also have several matchups that for DFS purposes are a complete fade. The key tonight is going to be variance. Even in cash games the cash line between first place and last place, more-than-likely will be small. So, do not be afraid to take chances.

On the Defense

PatrickCorbin vs. Philadelphia Phillies

$10,500 FD / $11,800 DK

Warning! The Philadelphia Phillies are a lot less dangerous than they appear in the mirror. Especially facing Patrick Corbin on this 9/23 MLB DFS slate. The Phillies are striking out 23.1 percent of the time versus LHPs with a middle of the pack .329 wOBA. Despite the fact Corbin has had two sub-par starts this year facing Philadelphia they were both on the road. His home ERA is 2.00 versus his 4.18 ERA while traveling. Corbin has the highest upside on the slate by far, and with no Coors Field game, and limited high-priced bats to spend up on, he is at the top of the hill.

BlakeSnell vs. Boston Red Sox

$7,500 FD / $10,300 DK

The algorithm on FD tonight seems to have hit the mark pricing wise with Snell set to pitch only three or four innings on this 9/23 MLB DFS slate. The thing is, if Snell goes four innings allowing one earned run while striking out six, that is a pretty good day in DFS. Especially on this slate, just keep in mind he will not be getting any kind of site bonuses tonight.

Snell has huge K upside while generally being able to keep batters under control. In his only start versus the mighty Red Sox he went six innings with seven strikeouts allowing one earned run. With Boston winding down their season, and the Rays in a dogfight for the Wild Card, I would take a shot here on FD.

ZackEflin vs. Washington Nationals

$8,200 FD / $6,200 DK

It’s a small 9/23 MLB DFS slate which means chances must be taken. Eflin this season facing Washington has a 1.50 ERA with 21 strikeouts over 18 innings. His price on DK is bottom low which makes no sense considering he has not allowed more than two earned runs in his last five starts. This makes for a fine GPP play on FD, and a great pitcher to pair with Corbin on DK, despite facing each other.

On theAttack

MikeShawaryn vs. Tampa Bay Rays

With the Red Sox playing at this point just to finish the season, Shawaryn could get stretched out an extra inning or two. His history suggests he will come in tonight, give up a bunch of runs right away, and be pulled. Why pull him now? The Rays offense is going to feast tonight facing a Red Sox team basically just giving guys innings. Stack away on this 9/23 MLB DFS slate.

AdamWainwright vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Before you read any further you need to understand the Cardinals are playing at another level right now, and their pitching is no exception. Wainwright has been lights out lately both at home, and on the road. The Arizona Diamondbacks are also 26th in MLB in wOBA versus RHPs. Everything looks to be in order tonight for Adam basically facing Eve. Or is it? If I had a nickel for every time I jumped on a pitcher with a tendency to be horrible on the road, who suddenly is Nolan Ryan, I would have a whole lot of nickels over the last seven years. On a five-game slate, with no one looking here, I am going to take some chances in GPP play on a Wainwright regression for this 9/23 MLB DFS slate.

Patrick Corbin has had eight strikeouts or more in six of his last eight starts. With the Phillies striking out so heavily versus RHPs, the over is the path here.

Zach Eflin has had great success facing Washington this season easily surpassing 3.5 strikeouts in each start. Why should this change tonight? Over.

Despite Adam Wainwright’s recent success I smell serious regression here tonight. Over his last six starts he only has more than four strikeouts one time. The under is where I am looking on this one.

Although the Cardinals are striking out 22.3 percent of the time versus RHPs, the pitcher in question has a lot of four strikeout games. Facing a hot Cardinals team the under is the answer.

Clayton Kershaw! Lucas Giolito!

Crickets. Lots of crickets.

The 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks — outside of the two aces — is awful thin, with a handful of maybes, perhaps and goodness no. Four teams are so disjointed that, as of late Thursday night, TBD was listed in their Friday slate. Ouch.

9/6 DFS Pitching Picks – Cash Game Pitchers

Clayton Kershaw, LAD vs. SF

DK ($11,700), FD ($11,500) 

We all have bad days, and Kershaw sure as heck had one in his last start. After 10 straight starts with at least 30 FanDuel points, Kershaw had just 18 points in a sluggish five-inning stint against the Padres. Not to worry, though: the Giants come to Chavez Ravine, and that’s good news for Kershaw and your wallet.

Kershaw has a 1.29 ERA against the Giants this season, holding them to a .180 batting average. His strikeout rate is less than a batter per inning against them, but he’s at 9.56 K/9 overall this season and is on track for a seventh straight season of less than two walks per nine frames. He’s almost money in the bank considering he’s had just three starts this season with 26 or fewer FanDuel points. It’s also nifty that Kershaw is catching a Giants team hitting a collective .243/.283/.407 over the past week, averaging less than four runs per game. I’m not one to tell grown people what to do with their money and lineups, but…

Lucas Giolito, CWS vs. LAA

DK ($17,700), FD ($10,500) 

Giolito enters tonight bidding for a 10th straight game of at least seven strikeouts. He’s gone exactly six innings in five of those starts, so he’s fanning well over a batter per inning. Post All-Star Break, Giolito has whiffed 90 batters over 63.2 innings, but his 11.55 K/9 overall is probably going to net him no better than third place in the AL Cy Young Award race. I’d be even more enthused if Giolito was pitching on the road, but he’s still making batters miss at a steady clip.

Adding 1.8 mph to your heater can do wonders, as Giolito can attest, having gone from 92.4 mph in 2018 to 94.2 this season. What’s also enhanced his breakout is the huge increase of faith in his change-up, going from 15.9% usage last year to 25.9% currently.

Like Kershaw, Giolito will benefit from facing an Angels team in an extended funk, hitting a composite .219/.312/.373 over the past two weeks. The numbers are worse when the Angels face power pitchers like Giolito, managing a paltry .225/.323/.385 slash. All systems are go if you like Giolito and/or want to go against the grain from those using Kershaw.

9/6 DFS Pitching Picks – GPP Pitchers

Dinelson Lamet, SD vs. COL

DK ($10,700), FD ($8,200)

The best of a thin crop of arms on the slate of 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks, Lamet is striking out 31.7% of opposing batters and comes off a 10-K effort against the Giants. Lamet struggled after returning from Tommy John surgery, but he’s allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts along with allowing just three homers in his last seven outings after giving up five in his first three starts. Colorado’s lineup has seen Lamet’s handiwork firsthand, as he struck out seven Rockies over five innings in an August 11 start.

Lamet has put up at least 30 FanDuel points in three of his last four starts, including a season-best 67 at the Mariners on August 6. Because of his high strikeout rate, Padres infielders are busy just 34.1% of the time when Lamet is on the hill. The strikeouts also bolster Lamet’s modest 35.2% hard contact rate and is somewhat nullified by his 72.7% strand rate. Lamet looks even better when looking at the Rockies’ road numbers, especially the 70-point dip in batting average (.303 at home, .233 away) and a .203 free fall in OPS (.885 home, .603 road). Be it ever so humble…

Patrick Corbin, WAS at ATL

DK ($11,100), FD ($11,100)

I’ll give Corbin the slight edge over mound opponent Dallas Keuchel in what will be the series (sorry Yankees-Red Sox) of the weekend. Corbin has five straight starts of at least 40 points on FanDuel, but the only reason he’s not a cash game pitcher is well…the Braves are bit more productive than the Giants or Angels. Corbin is striking out 10.36 batters per nine innings and his 35% hard contact rate — along with a 33.6% fly ball rate — is a big reason why he’s got a 0.98 HR/9 rate.

Corbin is on a Giolito-like strikeout run, fanning at least seven hitters in eight of his last 10 starts despite going more than six innings just twice in that span. The next Atlanta hitter to take him deep this season will be the first, as he’s kept the ball in the yard against them while striking out 13 over 11 innings versus the NL East leaders. The 28.4% K rate is strong, but it’s too much of a risk to go with Corbin in a cash format.

Robby Ray, ARI at CIN

DK ($8,900), FD ($9,100)

He’s been up and down since a solid July and is risky on the road at Great American Ball Park. Ray is averaging 11.78 K/9 but the 4.14 BB/9 could be the match into the gas can with this Reds lineup. Ray is sporting a 1.48 HR/9 rate this season, which kinda falls as average with the way the ball is flying out. A 42.4% hard contact rate falls into the dangerous category in a hitter-friendly park and a host of lumber capable of chasing Ray to an early exit.

Ray put up a modest 27 FanDuel points in his last start, but he’s been as high as 49 points and as low as nine in his past six outings. Somewhere, the truth lies in between, and I’d consider finding where that middle exists if you’re interested in playing more offense rather than paying for Kershaw or Giolito.

9/6 DFS Pitching Picks – Punt Pick

Zach Eflin, PHI at NYM

DK ($12,000), FD ($6,000)

If you believe in the healing powers of the sinker, then Eflin might be worth your attention among the 9/6 DFS Pitching Picks. He’s started using it more over the past two outings, and wouldn’t ya know? Bah Gawd, it works. Eflin has allowed just two runs over 13 innings but with only five strikeouts to show for his efforts, Eflin’s appeal will be limited. However, he’s put up starts of 28 and 31 FanDuel points, numbers that would climb if he missed a few more bats. He’s still not walking many batters (2.47 BB/9) and his 14/5% HR/FB rate is pretty acceptable.

A flashback at some of the best performances from the slate plus their outlooks for the remainder of the season on the 8/28 MLB DFS review and look ahead.

8/28 MLB DFS Winner: Patrick Corbin

It’s not often a losing pitcher will appear in these articles but Corbin was solid. As Wes Anderson chose him on our Premium Gold Cheatsheet, Corbin was not the biggest starting pitcher on the slate. However, he went seven innings of two runs on four hits with nine strikeouts and did not allow a walk.

Outlook for the rest of the season: The biggest free agent pitcher from the offseason, Corbin has been incredible this year. Expect him to continue to give the Nationals at least five solid innings a game and rack up at least one strikeout an inning.

8/28 MLB DFS Winner: Yasiel Puig

As you can see from the cheatsheet, Wes chose another player that had a good game in Puig. Against the Tigers, he went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run, a RBI and a walk.

Outlook for the rest of the season: Yasiel Puig has been great since he joined the Cleveland Indians at the Trade Deadline about a month ago. He is slashing .298/ .372/ .476 in the 22 games in the American League. Look for him to provide some big moments for the Indians as they battle for the A.L. Central crown.

8/28 MLB DFS Winner: Brett Gardner

This screenshot is from the Hitter Projection Model, available for all premium members to access. This screenshot is the 76th through 100th highest projected output on the slate. Gardner was 99th overall (102nd in DraftKings Projection). Against the Seattle Mariners, Gardner went 1-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a walk.

Outlook for the rest of the season: Even as the longest-tenured Yankee on the roster, Gardner is contributing well with the absence of Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton. Now up to 18 HRs on the year, second most in his career, he is having a great season. He also has an .818 OPS, a career high thus far. Expect him to continue to swing a great bat until Aaron Hicks and/or Giancarlo Stanton makes it back.

8/28 MLB DFS Winner: Yordan Alvarez

Even in a 15-1 victory, Yordan Alvarez seemed to be the best player on the Houston Astros last night, going 3-for-5 with a double, a pair of homers and four RBI against Charlie Morton and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Outlook for the rest of the season: Call it what you will with the obscene amount of home runs hit this season, but Alvarez is hitting at an incredible rate. He has 21 HRs in just 219 at-bats or one every 10.4 at-bats. Put that across a full season and he will have around 50 hits over the outfield wall. He’s a huge power hitter that can thrive off expanded rosters.

The last Sunday of MLB’s first half is upon us and we have one of the hottest pitchers toeing the rubber in Phillie ace right-hander Aaron Nola. There is a full slate of 15 games on the DFS schedule so lets jump into it.

Upper-Tier Ace Arms

Aaron Nola, Phillies at Mets ($9,700 FD, $10,600 DK): A cash-game consideration on FD on with that price while probably only a GPP play on DK in the DFS world. The Phillie ace right-hander is red-hot right now. He has allowed just one earned run in 23 innings over his last three starts, striking out 28 and walking five. The ace right-hander has breathed life into a generally ho-hum ballclub as they enter the second half. Pitching against the hapless Mets is a good matchup to see if the right-hander has truly taken a step up to the next level.

Patrick Corbin, Royals at Nationals ($10,500 FD, $10,900 DK): The prices on the sites scare me off of DFS cash-games and make him GPP-only for me. Corbin will end the first half for the Nationals. He is coming off an emotional, rain-filled appearance in his last start following the death of his friend, Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs. He threw seven innings of one-run ball with 7 K’s while wearing Skaggs’ jersey as a tribute. Following ace right-hander Max Scherzer’s gem on Saturday will be a tough act to follow, but the change of pace may keep the Royal batters off-balance.

Middle-Tier Arms

David Price, Red Sox at Tigers ($9,100 FD, $9,800 DK): A strong DFS cash-game choice given his high floor. Price will try to send the Red Sox off into the All-Star game break on a high note. Price has been pitching well for the Red Sox, being a much needed innings eater, going six innings or more in five of his last seven starts. Going against a weak Tiger lineup should play into Price’s strengths. The veteran lefty walked a season-high four batters in his most recent start in Toronto, but still made the right pitches at the right times to earn his sixth win of the season.

Dallas Keuchel, Marlins at Braves ($7,300 FD, $8,600 DK): Another DFS cash-game option, especially on FD because of his deep discount. Keuchel is getting stretched out, going seven innings in his last start against Philadelphia. Keuchel has steadily improved as he’s progressed through his first three appearance of 2019. He showed better command of his changeup and slider in his last start.

Bargain-Basement Arm

Tyler Mahle, Indians at Reds ($7,000 FD, $7,800 DK): Coming off an excellent start to his last appearance against the Brewers, Mahle looks to keep improving. Likely the second best pitcher on the Reds staff behind only ace right-hander Luis Castillo, Mahle faces the Indians. He pitched into the seventh inning, lasting 95 pitches against the Brewers on Monday. Mahle gave up a leadoff homer and then was excellent until a late rally spoiled his outing in an 8-6 Reds loss. He hopes to earn the trust again to stay out late in the game again.

Monkey Knife Fight Pick of the Day

Aaron Nola Over 6.5 Strikeouts

Nola has reached this total in each of his last three starts with eight, 10 and 10 strikeouts respectively. Look for him to make it each of his last four starts.

Your DFS Pitching Picks for July 2

Patrick Corbin vs. Miami Marlins

DraftKings $11,100, FanDuel $10,600

At home this season Patrick Corbin has been sensational. He holds a 2.17 ERA and a 9.60 K/9. This is the same story with the sorry Marlins that we should all want to attack daily in DFS. Corbin should be major chalk and I still love him in DFS tournaments even with the chalk.

Charlie Morton vs. Baltimore Orioles

DraftKings $10,600, FanDuel $10,800

Morton has had a solid first half of the season. I always like taking pitchers in Tampa Bay in DFS as I see it more pitcher-friendly. Morton has been dominating righties, holding them to a .179 BAA and he is slashing lefties to a 12.02 K/9. I’m never scared of Baltimore outside of Trey Mancini. If you don’t trust or want leverage on Corbin I would go with Morton.

Matt Boyd @ Chicago White Sox

DraftKings $10,100, FanDuel $10,000

This is my pay up high DFS tournament upside play of the day. Boyd has been a little shaky of late, but he figured it out last time he pitched. Boyd always has that very high strikeout upside that we search for in DFS tournaments, especially on the road. Boyd turns it up a notch to get strikeouts as he holds a 12.90 K/9 on the road. I love Boyd here against a White Sox team that strikes out a ton.

Matt Strahm vs. San Francisco Giants

DraftKings $6,900, FanDuel $7,600

Strahm is my favorite pay down DFS option with the opponent and the field. San Diego is a very pitcher friendly park and the Giants are a very pitcher friendly team, as they are horrible. Strahm holds a solid 9.42 K/9 against lefties, which I’m looking for, as he has to go through Belt and Panik. I’ll never be scared of this Giants offense and Strahm helps you get in Coors.

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!
