The King’s Royal DFS Tips For Tuesday – Mondesi a Must Play Among Hitters

Scott Engel
written by Scott Engel

I will be running several Mets hitters out there tonightagainst Jeremy Hellickson. On the road, Jeff McNeil is hitting .380 with 10runs scored, Peter Alonso is at .291 with six homers, 16 RBI and 14 runs scoredwith eight walks. Robinson Cano is hitting .310 with three HRs and 13 runsscored in away games. If J.D. Davis gets in the lineup he is hitting .295 witheight runs scored and seven walks against RHPs.

You never know what version of Mike Foltynewicz you aregoing to get, so I will not hesitate to attack him. Kolten Wong is hitting .333with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored away from home. Dexter Fowler has nine RBI andseven runs scored in 15 road games.

I am also recommending several Royals tonight vs. Shelby Miller. Alex Gordon is hitting .319 with 15 RBI and 19 runs scored in home games. Hunter Dozier is hitting .316 with 10 RBI and 12 runs scored at home. Adalberto Mondesi is the play of the night, as he is hitting .315 with 18 RBI, 15 runs scored and 11 steals in home games.

I will also get in at least one or two Boston bats againstKyle Freeland and I don’t care about platoon splits when I do. Rafael Devers ishitting .429 with 14 RBI and 12 runs scored in home games. Xander Bogaerts is hitting.326 with 15 runs scored and 19 RBI at home.

From pitching perspectives, do not hesitate to use NoahSyndergaard when you consider Washington is third in MLB in strikeouts.

Be daring to go for Jared Eickhoff on DraftKings at $9200. The Brewers lead the National League in strikeouts.

Wade Miley is a great salary saver at $7900. His XFIP is 4.42 but his 3.18 ERA won’t rise against Detroit.

Before you pencil in Caleb Smith, consider the Rays strikeout the second least amount of times in the American League.

The King’s Royal DFS Tips for 5/13 – SEA/OAK Stacks and More

Scott Engel
written by Scott Engel

I will certainly be stacking against Mike Fiers tonight, whois due for a big crash and burn in Seattle after his no-hitter. The Marinershave scored the second-most runs in MLB against RHPs. Catcher Omar Narvaez hasa ,372 OBP with six homers and 15 RBI vs. righties. Domingo Santana has fivehomers, 26 RBI and 13 B vs, RHPs even without a platoon split. Jay Bruce hasnine of his 12 home runs against righties. Edwin Encarnacion has 10 of his 12HRs against righties. I am not going to worry about right vs, lefty matchups inthis one. Fiers has an 8.20 ERA in four road starts so far this year.

I can pull another top stack from the same game, as the A’shave scored the eighth most runs against LHPs, and I am going to attack theerratic Yusei Kikuchi. Stephen Piscotty, hitting .359 with three home runs and10 RBI in 39 ABs vs. LHPs, will lead the way, at just $3600 on DraftKings.Marcus Semien has a .417 OBP vs. lefties. Matt Chapman has half of his 10 HRsvs. LHPs in 111 less at-bats vs. them. Josh Phegley is your catcher play, as heleads the A’s with a .409 average against lefties. Even Jurickson Profar ishitting over .300 against LHPs. Only Chapman is above $4000, so I am reallyliking the pricing on this stack.

Loading up with Phillies against Freddy Peralta should turnout to be the most popular stack of the night. But while it seems to be achalky play, the Phils are only 18th in HRs against righties. Butyou have to start with Rhys Hoskins anyway, as he has 25 RBI and 20 walks to gowith his nine HRs vs. RHPs. Jean Segura is hitting .300 vs. righties with 13runs scored vs. righties. Cesar Hernandez is going to be a great play with a.306 average, 14 runs scored, 12 RBI and 11 walks vs, righties. I would makehim an essential play even if you do not stack Phillies. Maikel Franco has 23RBI, 15 runs scored and 13 BBs vs, righties. Philadelphia should pound out alot of hits tonight even if they don’t blast more than one or two homers.

Brad Peacock would be chalky against the Tigers if he wasnot facing Matthew Boyd. I would steer clear of Peacock because he may not havea good shot to get a victory.

C.J. Cron is hitting .364 with three homers and seven RBI in22 at-bats vs. lefties. He’ll take Tyler Skaggs out of  the park tonight. He is worth the $4300 onDraftKings.

Reynaldo Lopez is a very interesting play at $6800 when youconsider that Cleveland is the third-worst team in the Majors in road batting.

The King’s Royal Tips for Tuesday – Hitting, MLB Props and More

Mark Paquette
written by Mark Paquette

I will spend the $5900 for JavierBaez tonight. His high price and a Caleb Smith matchup may steer a lot ofpeople away, but he is hitting .455 with five homers in 22 at-bats againstLHPs.

Ronald Acuna Jr. has a seemingly challengingmatchup vs. Hyun-Jin Ryu, but I like him at $4300 considering he is hitting.310 with six home runs against LHPs.

Starling Marte is worth a lineupspot against Adrian Sampson. Spend the $4900 since he is not facing a LHP,which he is hitting .045 against. Make sure you check if teammate BrianReynolds ($3900) is in the lineup. He is sharing time with Melky Cabrera, butif he is in there, he is hitting .375 with four XHBs against righties. Reynoldshas played well since being called up and this is a tasty matchup forPittsburgh. Cabrera is the same price if he plays over Reynolds.

I will be getting some Reds batsin my lineups against Mike Fiers. Derek Dietrich ($4500) has four home runs andeight RBI in the last week. If recent callup Josh VanMeter ($2600) gets in thelineup I will opt for him as a punt play. He was raking in the minors.

Make sure you pluck some Rangersagainst Stephen Brault. Elvis Andrus is $5000 and is hitting .423 vs. LHPs. Iam locking in Nomar Mazara at $4400. He is averaging 9.5 FFPG on the road onDK, compared to 7.2 at home.

Some Cheap Plays:Chris Davis ($3100) vs, Hector Velasquez, Jackie Bradley Jr. ($3200 vs. DavidHess), Tucker Barnhart as a punt ($3000) vs. Fiers.

Mound Visit:Avoid Aaron Nola against the Cards, fourth in the Majors vs, RHPs. Fade MaxFried against the N.L.’s best offense. Collin McHugh ($8200) gets KC at home,and will get the run support vs. Danny Duffy for a win while also capablyproviding other quality numbers.

MonkeyKnife Fight Pick of the Day: Masahiro Tanaka’s over/under for strikeoutsagainst Seattle is 6.5, No team in the Majors strikes out more than theMariners (370). Getin with me today for MLB Player Prop Games and get 100 Percent Bonus.

Bonus: In the same game,Marco Gonzales’ Over/Under is 4.5 strikeouts. In half of his games so far, hehas not gone above 4 Ks, and the Yankees are 21st in strikeouts, soI will take the under.

Launch Engel: Reds could be deBomb

Scott Engel
written by Scott Engel

Fortonight, I am going to go with a contrarian stack that could give me or you anadvantage in a tournament. You have to take big chances to win big, and withhow things are going for one Mets pitcher, this may not seem like such a majorleap, anyway.

I’mstacking Cincinnati Reds tonight against Jacob deGrom. Sure, this seems like aprime matchup for the struggling defending Cy Young winner to get right, butuntil I actually see him show signs of a turnaround, I am going to attack himin DFS. There is hardly a guarantee that tonight is the night when he startsbouncing back. He has allowed 14 earned runs in his last three starts, withmore than five yielded in two of them. He has a 4.85 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

deGromis 0-2 with a 12.38 ERA in two home starts this season. He has a 6.30 ERA innight games. Opponents are batting .375 the second time through the lineup, soeven if he starts well, he could fall apart again in the middle innings. He alreadyhas five HRs allowed, half of his entire total from last year.

Yes,the Reds are 25th in team batting, but they are middle of the packin HRs. Because of that first number, their hitters will be very lowly owned,maybe at about three percent on average. Plus, they will be lower priced and Ican then frontload some of the rest of my lineup with other high priced players.

Meanwhile,deGrom could be about 40 percent owned, and I would take out a good chunk ofthe field in a tournament even if he simply allows four runs or so. I can seethat happening. So give me some Joey Votto, Eugenio Suarez, Yasiel Puig andeven Derek Dietrich or Jesse Winker.

Manynights, you lose with the chalk plays. So go against convention here and I havea hunch things will go your way tonight.

Launch Engel: Meet the Matz on Sunday in DFS

Scott Engel
written by Scott Engel

Steven Matzhas to be a stopper for the Mets on Sunday. That is why you should use him inDFS against Milwaukee Sunday. Matz has to do what an ace does – stop a losingskid. Zack Wheeler is the Mets’ best pitcher right now, but Matz has to step forwardas an ace would.

Matz is only$8000 on DraftKings, so you can easily slide him into your lineup. Last week hestopped a two-game losing streak by beating Philadelphia, and now he has tohalt a three-game run of defeats for the Mets against Milwaukee. Matz has oftenbeen described as inconsistent this season, but in reality he has endured onebad turn in five starts. He has actually allowed two earned runs or less infour of his five outings. In fact, he has allowed three earned runs or less inhis past 11 starts dating back to last year. Not so erratic as advertised whenyou look at the numbers more closely.

After NoahSyndergaard delivered another disappointing outing Saturday night, which cameafter the latest Jacob deGrom fiasco, Mickey Callaway talked about how the entirepitching staff was not “executing” well, as in getting too deep into counts andnot being economical. Well, Matz threw 99 pitches and faced 23 batters in sixinnings in his last start, and 102 and 23 two starts before that. Only eighthitters have gotten him to 3-1 or 3-2 counts this season. So he is capable ofthe “execution” Callaway is looking for.

Matz has ahome ERA of 0.82 so far this season. His opponent, Gio Gonzalez, is 11-2 with a 1.75 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 17career starts at Citi Field but is making his first start of the season aftera less than impressive run with the Yankees in the minors over three games(4.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP). Milwaukee is just 14th in road batting and 28thin day games. Expect Matz to be the key performer as the Mets stave off a homesweep today.
