DFS Winners and Losers: Devers, Morton and More

Emely Sharman 5 years ago

written by Emely Sharman

There was a 15 game DFS slate on Tuesday July 2nd but weather only allowed 14 games to be played. Although no one put up a performance like Josh Bell’s from Monday, there were still some good outings. Salaries and points are based on DraftKings.

DFS Winners

Rafael Devers ($4,900)

The Red Sox visited the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday and got the win, 10-6. Devers had a big DFS outing, going 4-for-5 with two home runs. He finished with six RBI and two runs scored and scored 42 fantasy points. Devers has played really well all year and has a batting average of .329 to go with an OPS of .926. He has now hit 14 home runs and has 56 RBI. Devers has 15 hits over his last six games played. The Red Sox have two more games on the road against the Blue Jays.

Devers’ Outlook

The Toronto Blue Jays have been bad this year from a pitching standpoint. They are tied for 23rd in the league with a team ERA of 4.89. Toronto had the worst team ERA in the month of June at 5.81. TOR also allowed the highest opposing batting average in June at .289. They allow a .262 batting average to lefties. All this adds up to a plus DFS matchup for Devers and the rest of the Red Sox. Roster Devers with confidence for the remainder of the series.

Charlie Morton ($10,600)

The Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles at home on Tuesday 6-3. Morton pitched seven great innings and only gave up one earned on four four hits. He was able to strike out 12 while walking only one and giving up one solo homer. He scored 38.75 DFS points and has an ERA of 2.36 to go with a great WHIP of 1.03. His K/9 is very high at 11.1. This was a good bounce-back after taking the loss in his last outing against the Twins.

Morton’s DFS Outlook

Morton’s next projected start will come after the All Star break. He has had a great first half of the season and has shown no signs of slowing down. He has been a great DFS pitcher while racking up the strikeouts. Morton had given up only 12 earned runs in his last eight starts and will carry great momentum into the second half of the season. He should be one of the top options the rest of the way.

Yuli Gurriel ($4,100)

Gurriel and the Astros got the win in a high scoring game at Coors Field against the Rockies. They won 9-8 and Gurriel was a big reason why. He went 3-for-5 with two home runs and a double. He finished with four RBI and two runs scored. Gurriel has had a pretty good first half of the year and has a batting average of .272 to go with his OPS of .756. Gurriel has hit 10 home runs and has 41 RBI.

Gurriel’s Outlook

The Astros have one more game at Coors Field before heading home to face the Angels. Gurriel and the rest of the Astros’ offense should be in high DFS demand for the game on Wednesday. Peter Lambert has an ERA of 6.57 and a WHIP of 1.46. He has started five games and has given up seven home runs. The entire Astros’ offense will be highly owned.

Losers

Jake Odorizzi ($9,900)

The Minnesota Twins faced the Oakland Athletics Tuesday and Odorizzi was roughed up. He was only able to get through three innings and gave up five earned runs. Odorizzi allowed four hits and walked three while giving up two home runs. He was able to strike out two. Odorizzi has been a big part of the Twins’ success this year and has an ERA of 2.73 to go with his WHIP of 1.07. His K/9 is in good shape at 9.88.

Odorizzi’s Outlook

Odorizzi has one more projected start before the All-Star break and it comes on July 7th against the Texas Rangers. Texas has had one of the better offense all year and has not slowed down. They have the seventh most runs scored this year and average nearly 5.5 per game. The Twins rank number two in the league in strikeouts and K nearly 10 times per game. This should be a big upside DFS spot for Odorizzi.

Freddie Freeman ($5,100)

Freeman and the Atlanta Braves could not get anything going on Tuesday and lost 2-0. Freeman went 0-for-4 and struck out once. The Braves were only able to get four hits on Tuesday. This is a rare down DFS game for Freeman and he has a batting average of .309 to go with an OPS of .979. He has hit 22 home runs and has 65 RBI. FF is coming off a huge June in which he hit .322 with an OPS of 1.066. Freeman hit nine home runs and had 33 RBI in June as well.

Freeman’s Outlook

The Braves have two more home games against the Phillies. The Phillies pitching has been just below average this year and they have a team ERA of 4.61. They have been worse than that lately, with a team ERA of 5.63 in the month of June, 28th in the league. Freeman should bounce back against the Phillies and put up good numbers as a great MLB DFS option.

Injury Report

Tommy La Stella left Tuesday’s game after fouling a ball off his knee. He had to be helped off the field which shows this is something to watch moving forward.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 6/26: Sock from Sox

Wes Anderson 5 years ago

written by Wes Anderson

Wednesday’s MLB action is split into two DFS slates with half the games during the day and the others at night. Below you will find the top DFS stacks for the early games. Be sure to check out our Win Daily DFS Cheat Sheet later in the day for our top plays and stacks for the main slate.

Boston Red Sox

Whenever the White Sox run Reynaldo Lopez to the bump, there should be interest in stacking against him. The right-hander is basically everything we look for when searching for a pitcher to target against. Lopez is a flyball pitcher with a 48.3% rate. And the flyballs have led to home runs, as Lopez is allowing 2.18 HR/9 this season. On top of the flyballs and home runs, the biggest reason to target Lopez is that he is predictable. The White Sox starter is throwing a four-seam fastball on 57% of his pitches. On that type of pitch, Lopez is allowing a .395 xwOBA and has a 6.58 xFIP.

So of course, we want to get some Red Sox in our DFS lineups for Wednesday. The Boston stack needs to start with Mookie Betts (FanDuel: $4,200 DraftKings: $5,300). The outfielder has the best matchup of any of the Red Sox’s batters. Betts has a .242 ISO versus right-handed pitching while Lopez is allowing a .357 wOBA to right batters. Betts also has a .255 ISO against the four-seam fastball. Some other Boston bats worth considering for your DFS entries are: Rafael Devers (FanDuel: $3,700 DraftKings: $5,300) and Xander Bogaerts (FanDuel: $4,000 DraftKings: $5,100). Both bats have ISOs above .200 versus righties in 2019. And no Boston stack is complete without giving J.D. Martinez (FanDuel: $4,100 DraftKings: $5,000) a look. The outfielder has a .320 ISO versus four-seam fastballs.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Any time the Dodgers’ offense is opposed by a righty, they have to be considered for stacking purposes. Against right-handed pitching this season, Los Angeles has been very successful. They have a .210 ISO and a .345 wOBA against right-handed pitching.

The Diamondbacks’ Taylor Clarke has a 4.90 SIERA and a 5.47 xFIP. On the season he is allowing a 48.3% flyball rate. You can benefit from both sides of the plate against Clarke, but you will prefer to use lefties. The Arizona starter is allowing a .416 wOBA and 2.6 HR/9 to lefty bats.

So, your L.A. building blocks for your DFS lineups should include the likes of: Joc Pederson (FanDuel: $3,100 DraftKings: $4,700), Cody Bellinger (FanDuel: $4,500 DraftKings: $5,800) and Max Muncy (FanDuel: $3,800 DraftKings: $5,000). All three of these Dodgers’ left-handed batters have accumulated at least a .240 ISO versus right-handed pitching and should hit a few balls hard against the Arizona starter in this one.

DFS Stacks for 6/21: Roaring Rangers

Jared Contestabile 5 years ago

written by Jared Contestabile

1.) Texas Rangers

I’ll start off by saying Reynaldo Lopez is a gas can. On the road this season he holds a 7.28 ERA with a .314 BAA. He also has more trouble striking out lefties, which results an the uptick in walks to them. I’m in love with every single lefty here in no particular order. I will prioritize Choo over everyone. The Rangers are far and away my favorite stack.

2.) Minnesota Twins

Jakob Junis is terrible, can we all agree? At home this season he has posted a 5.68 ERA with a .276 BAA. The thing I love about this matchup is that he cannot get lefties out. With a .302 BAA along with a .522 SLG and a 46.3% hard hit rate, he’s going to get shelled. To go with my favorite plays of the day, I LOVE Eddie Rosario here. He is a left-handed slugger who can pop off for a multi home run game at any moment. Pair him up with Jorge Polanco, Max Kepler and Luis Arraez.

3.) Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox get Trent Thornton coming into town and I think they’re salivating as much as I am. Although Thornton has found success (2.98 ERA) away from Toronto, I think he is going to struggle here. The two main left-handed bats, Andrew Benintendi, is a main target. Thornton has his struggles with left-handed bats, as he is giving up a .262 BAA and a ton of extra base hits. If you can afford it, I would love to employ Benintendi, Martinez and Betts here.

4.) Chicago White Sox

Ariel Jurado is a very confusing pitcher, as he seems to hold his own in Texas and then gets blown up on the road. With the White Sox coming into town, I think that story changes here. Jose Abreu is hands down a Top 3 guy for me on the slate. Against right-handed bats Jurado, has a .330 BAA and a .580 SLG. Eloy Jimenez is also one of my top bats tonight, I think if you don’t want to stack them or need two very strong one-offs, I would take either of them. Abreu > Jimenez.

MLB DFS Winners and Losers: Sweet Beede-tory

Sean Escobar 5 years ago

written by Sean Escobar

We had 11 games on Monday June 17th’s slate due to a postponed game between Philadelphia and Washington. All points and values are based off DraftKings.

Winners

Lance Lynn ($9,500)

Lance Lynn had arguably his best start of the season last night against the Cleveland Indians. He went seven innings and gave up one run on six hits and struck out nine Indians without allowing a walk. His one mistake was a solo home run to Francisco Lindor in the fifth inning. Lynn has been pitching relatively well recently, so keep him on your radar.

Lynn’s Outlook

Lance Lynn is giving you exactly what you need out of a starting pitcher. This was his eighth consecutive quality start, ranging back to May 10. He was able to keep a bottom-of-the league hitting team off the bases for the most part. Cleveland ranks only ahead of Detroit, San Francisco and Toronto in terms of team batting average. Lynn’s next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox rank 23rd in OBP so this should be another typical recent Lance Lynn start this weekend.

Cavan Biggio ($3,200)

Cavan Biggio had one of his best statistical games last night against the Los Angeles Angels. He went 2-for-2 with both hits leaving the yard, three RBI and a pair of walks. He upped his average to .233 in a limited sample of 60 at-bats. Biggio has been heating up as of late and should be added to your DFS lineups.

Biggio’s Outlook

Cavan Biggio has been swinging well during his six-game hitting streak, going 8-for-21 during that stretch. Biggio’s season average is low due to having one hit in the eight games before the hitting streak began. Biggio and the Toronto Blue Jays continue their series against the Angels and will face Tyler Skaggs. Biggio should be able to continue his hitting streak and get on base multiple times.

Tyler Beede ($5,400)

Tyler Beede provided a solid game against the Los Angeles Dodgers last night. He threw six innings and gave up one run on three hits. The only issue was his command, as he gave up five walks and had seven strikeouts. The only run given up by Beede was a solo home run off the bat of Max Muncy in the second inning. Beede is all over the spectrum in terms of results, so avoid investing in him in his next start.

Beede’s Outlook

Tyler Beede delivered his second quality start in his four starting appearances. His ERA lowered to 6.67 after yesterday’s performance. This was the first career victory for Beede and came against the best National League team in terms of OPS. His next scheduled start is Saturday on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks, until he can prove this wasn’t a one-time thing, fade Beede.

Losers

Rafael Devers ($4,400)

Rafael Devers did not record a hit in four at-bats with a strikeout and he left two runners on base against the Minnesota Twins. He had an off night, but is expected to continue his hot streak that he was currently on. Continue to lock Devers into your lineups.

Devers’ Outlook

Rafael Devers has been one of the best hitters in the past week, going 11-for-his-last-31 (.355) with two home runs and five RBI and only four strikeouts. The Boston Red Sox continue their series in Minnesota against the Twins and will face Michael Pineda. He has been very hittable this season with a 5.04 ERA, so continue to plug Devers in.

Mike Clevinger ($8,700)

Mike Clevinger lasted 4.2 innings and gave up five runs on three hits against Texas. He also had three walks and seven punchouts. The Rangers were able to get Clevinger’s pitch count up early and forced manager Terry Francona to head to the bullpen earlier than expected.

Clevinger’s Outlook

Mike Clevinger struggled against the Texas Rangers in Arlington. This was his first start since April 7 so the rust was to be expected. No matter how many minor league hitters a pitcher faces on a rehab assignment, he cannot emulate Major League hitters. His next start is on Saturday against the divisional-rival Detroit Tigers. Now that he has a start under his belt after returning from injury and a weak opposing lineup to face, Clevinger should be ready to provide a solid outing.

Injury Update

The Texas Rangers placed Hunter Pence on the 10-day Injured List with a groin injury prior to yesterday’s game.

Scooter Gennett started his rehab assignment from a groin injury that occurred during Spring Training and has sidelined him the entire season thus far. The plan is to have him play five games at Single-A Daytona and move up to Triple-A Louisville until he feels ready to join the Reds.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed starter Jerad Eickhoff on the 10-day Injured List with a bicep injury.

DFS Hitting Stacks for 6/12: Let Loose on Lynn

Wes Anderson 5 years ago

written by Wes Anderson

Chicago Cubs

The ColoradoRockies’ Antonio Senzatela is struggling this season with a slate high 5.43SIERA. The Rockies’ right-hander is producing just a 16.29% whiff rate and willbe pitching in hitter-friendly Coors Field tonight. Senzatela has particularlystruggled with lefties this season with a .416 wOBA and a 1.93 HR/9 allowed tothem.

So, start your Cubs stack with Anthony Rizzo (FanDuel: $4,700, DraftKings: $5,600). The power hitting left-handed first baseman has a .301 ISO and a .418 wOBA versus righties this season. But also consider that Senzatela is primarily a fastball pitcher as he has thrown that pitch on 64.6% of the time. That also plays into Rizzo’s strong suit. The first baseman has a .315 ISO this season against the fastball.

Otherleft-handed bats to consider are: Kyle Schwarber (FanDuel: $3,900, DraftKings:$5,000) and Carlos Gonzalez (FanDuel: $3,300, DraftKings: $3,300). Both outfieldershave ISOs greater than .220 against righties this season.

Of course, you can pick from some of the right-handed sticks as well as Kris Bryant (FanDuel: $4,500, DraftKings: $5,500), Javy Baez (FanDuel: $4,300, DraftKings: $5,500) and Willson Contreras (FanDuel: $3,900, DraftKings: $5,200) are always in play.

The Cubs will likely be the chalk on Wednesday but for good reasons. Load up on Chicago bats.

Cleveland Indians

The Cincinnati Reds’ Anthony DeSclafani is a pitcher you definitely want to stack against whenever he takes the bump. The veteran right-hander is allowing a 43.2% flyball rate that has resulted in 2.12 HR/9 so far in 2019. DeSclafani has really struggled with left-handed batters. The Reds’ starter is allowing a .414 wOBA, a 44.8% hard contact rate and 2.93 HR/9 to the lefty sticks this season.

Your Cleveland build will start with Carlos Santana (FanDuel: $3,500, DraftKings: $4,600) and Francisco Lindor (FanDuel: $3,900, DraftKings: $5,200). Both of these lefty sticks have ISOs over .245 against right-handed pitching this season.

Over theirlast seven the Cleveland offense has a .313 ISO and a .343 wOBA. So feel freeto make this a three or four man stack and include the likes of Jose Ramirez (FanDuel:$3,100, DraftKings: $3,500) and Jake Bauers (FanDuel: $2,600, DraftKings: $3,200).

Boston Red Sox

Texas’ Lance Lynn has a respectable 4.39 ERA this season but is getting hit hard. Most notably, he is allowing a 42.1% hard contact rate to RHBs

The Boston build, of course, will need to include Mookie Betts (FanDuel: $4,200, DraftKings: $4,400). The Red Sox outfielder homered on Tuesday and has a .222 ISO against right-handed pitching in 2019. Also keep in mind that the Rangers’ Lynn is throwing his fastball almost 49% of the time. This is a bonus for Betts, as he has a .256 ISO against such pitch this season.

Also consider Xander Bogaerts (FanDuel: $4,000, DraftKings: $4,300), as he has a .363 wOBA versus righties. J.D. Martinez (FanDuel: $4,000, DraftKings: $4,500) owns a .324 batting average against fastballs this season, so he clearly needs to be in your player pool as well. Rafael Devers (FanDuel: $3,800, DraftKings: $4,100) also has killed the fastball this season, with a .256 ISO. You can use Andrew Benintendi (FanDuel: $3,600, DraftKings: $4,000) as well.

The Red Sox should provide plenty of hard contact againstLynn.

Other Stacks to Consider: Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Twins.

Value Stacks: Baltimore Orioles (FanDuel), Toronto Blue Jays (FanDuel), San Diego Padres (FanDuel), Cincinnati Reds (FanDuel/DraftKings).
