MLB DFS Hitting Stacks & Picks for August 9 David Jones 5 years ago written by David Jones Yes, there is preseason football on tonight, but it’s the kind of football that will impact your Fantasy draft. In other words, stay focused on the diamond, follow the words and numbers below and be ready to make DFS money off the usual 15-game slate. Caring isn’t sharing here, so if there’s a sore pooh or two upset about not getting all 30 teams equally covered, well…um…tough. Them’s the breaks.Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!Opposite Day rules apply: we’ll find our bargains at each position before the glorious task of stacking (mmm…stacking) lineups.8/9 DFS Hitting CFrancisco Mejia, SD vs. COLDK ($3,200), FD ($2,300)Hey, if he keeps hitting, then why not keep him in the lineup? Mejia had his third straight multi-hit game on Thursday night and fourth in his last five, pushing his batting average above .260. His slugging percentage barely hovers above .400, but if there’s anything you need to know about catchers is that the pop sometimes is the last thing that develops. What will make Mejia — and his DFS users — smile in glee is that the Rockies are throwing the extended batting practice pitcher that is known as Kyle Freeland, who has given up as many homers as the number of batters he’s struck out (five) in his last two starts (Bonus smile: Right-handed hitters have gone .292/.362/.603 this season against Freeland).8/9 DFS Hitting 1BJose Abreu, CWS vs. OAKDK ($4,000), FD ($3,800)Abreu has rewarded FanDuel users with games of 37.70 and 25.40 points this week as his August OPS of 1.008 is light years from July’s tepid mark of .608. He’s cheap in either format and you’ll also take comfort in knowing his .804 OPS at Guaranteed Rate Field is better than his .782 away from ChiTown. Abreu’s .211 Isolated Power is slightly higher than last season’s, and his current stretch gives him a better than outside chance to finish with 35+ homers. Mike Fiers isn’t pitching in Oakland, which is a very good thing considering his ERA away from the City that M.C. Hammer Built is 4.62. Don’t hurt ’em, Jose (at least not too much).8/9 DFS Hitting 2BJason Kipnis, CLE at MINDK ($4,300), FD ($3,300)Since July 31, Kipnis has five multi-hit games along with three homers and 11 RBI. He’s been banging it over the past two weeks to the tune of .348./.423/.696, harkening back to the good ‘ol days when he was actually a must-own player in that other kind of Fantasy baseball. After a pair of dogs in 2017-18, Kipnis has found some fortune with his BABIP, which stands at .284. His current run is keyed by his hard contact rate of 38.7%, the best of his career. Rookie hurler Devin Smeltzer has been a revelation of sorts for the Twins’ staff, but Indians batters showed him hellfire and brimstone when they jacked four homers off him in a win on June 4.8/9 DFS Hitting SSBo Bichette, TOR vs. NYYDK ($4,300), FD ($3,900)Like the aforementioned Mejia, if it ain’t broke… Bichette made big league history on Thursday when he doubled for a ninth straight game along with taking Domingo German deep in the 12-6 loss to the Yankees. No one should pull Bichette aside and tell him it can’t be that easy, especially when he’s gone .408/.453/.837 in his first 11 games. Obviously, he’s not getting cheated out of his at-bats as Bichette has made either medium or hard contact 91.2% of the time. And yes, please throw lefty J.A. Happ in front of Bichette, who has hit lefties with a 1.476 OPS.8/9 DFS Hitting 3BJose Ramirez, CLE at MINDK ($4,300), FD ($3,300)Uh, oh. Perhaps I’ve tipped my hand on a stack? Maybe, but Ramirez has been a one-man stack over the past week by hitting .400 with a pair of homers, seven RBI and six runs scored. As bad as his numbers looked earlier in the season, this newfound version of Ramirez is well on his way to another 20-20 season. Ramirez has a 47.8% fly ball rate to go along with a 39.1% hard contact rate. You’ll take that combination to the bank against a hurler like Smeltzer.8/9 DFS Hitting OFYordan Alvarez, HOU at BALDK ($5,700), FD ($4,300)Hell yes, I’m paying steep for the right to have Alvarez in my lineup. A longtime friend of mine was witness to Alvarez’s homer on Wednesday and told me he had never heard the ball come off a bat the way that blast did. Considering I’ve known this guy since first grade, I’ll trust him. You really, really want him in FanDuel, where he’s recorded at least 12.50 points in five of his last six games, including a 27.90 and 22.20 performances. Any hitter with a .404 BABIP and 50.4% hard contact rate going against Orioles pitching, in tonight’s case Dylan “Me and 24 homers Allowed and 5.89 ERA at Home” Bundy, is worth every penny.8/9 DFS Hitting OFMike Tauchman, NYY at TORDK ($4,900), FD ($3,400)With a homer on Thursday, Tauchman has four dingers and 13 RBI this month. He’s not an all or nothing hitter, having recorded four multi-hit games in the same span. One would think Tauchman would have a blistering hard contact rate like Alvarez, but his is a surprising 31.7%. Couple that with a 32% fly ball rate, and you’re seeing a hitter making the most of his opportunities. The Blue Jays are starting Sean Reid-Foley, who is beginning to be stretched out as a starter. Reid-Foley has held opponents to a .229 batting average but has walked 14 in 21.2 innings. Seriously, do you really want that kind of a walk rate when facing the Yankees?8/9 DFS Hitting OFAristides Aquino, CIN vs. CHCDK ($3,700), FD ($3,000)Aquino’s homer off Cole Hamels on Thursday night jumped the fence at 118.3 mph, tying him with Pete Alonso and Gary Sanchez for the hardest-hit homer this season. He’s fanned once every three at-bats, but Aquino has produced a .905 OPS in his first 21 at-bats to go along with three homers (and a throw on Thursday that looked Jose Guillen-like with its velocity). Yu Darvish gets the opportunity to deal against the freakish Aquino and while his 71 strikeouts over his past 59.2 innings is a sign the old Darvish is back, all he has to do is ask Hamels what’s it like when you leave one up there for Aquino to lean into.Let’s take it home and stack ’em up, shall we?Top 8/9 MLB DFS Stack: Houston Astros: We touched on Dylan Bundy and his hitter-friendly numbers, which means get your Astros in where you can fit them it. Obviously, Yordan Alvarez will take a good grip of your salary, but that could be countered by going cheap on a speculative pitcher. George Springer ($4,400 at FanDuel) is hitting .368 with a homer and four RBI over the past week, while Yuli Gurriel ($3,500) scored a combined 102.30 FanDuel points in two games against the Rockies on Tuesday and Wednesday. Michael Brantley ($4,100) hasn’t homered in the past week but still hit .348 with nine RBI. As hot as Houston’s bats have been, you’ll sacrifice at a position or two in order to make this stack work.Chicago White Sox 8/9 MLB DFS Stack: As mentioned earlier, A’s starter Mike Fiers is suspect on the road, and the White Sox have enough hot bats to strongly consider stacking against him. Start with Jose Abreu (see his work at 1B) and follow up with Eloy Jimenez ($3,100 FanDuel) who looks overdue for a breakout since his return from the DL. James McCann ($2,800) has had a good week with 21.90 and 22.50 points sandwiched between a 15.70 outing. Tim Anderson ($3,000) comes into Friday having put up at least 15.20 points in four of his last six games.New York Yankees 8/9 MLB DFS Stack: The Yankees have hit 19 homers in four games this week and I’d bet on world peace coming before betting against the Yankees going homerless on Friday. Go with Mike Tauchman (see OF) and make room for Gio Urshela ($4,600 Draft Kings), who had two homers and four RBI on Thursday night. If you want to spend a bit more, then go with D.J. LeMahieu ($5,100), who has gone .370-2-6 in the past week. Even Cameron Maybin ($4,600), who racked up three hits on Thursday, is worth throwing into the fray.THANK YOU FOR READING.

MLB Fantasy Stacks for MLB: Winning Edge for August 4 Wesley Passinault 5 years ago written by Wesley Passinault This report will provide recommended DFS stack options for today’s nine-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks.**All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 10-11 AM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer to the postseason. Make sure you are watching the weather as well.Fantasy Stack: Minnesota Twinsvs. RHP Brad Keller (KCR): 6.30 Runs**Low RiskThe Twins have been on fire this entire series and I’m not going to let off the gas before it’s over. The Twins continue to smash the competition, slashing to a massive .271 ISO, .366 wOBA, and 126 WRC+. Brad Keller has been somewhat decent this season, owning a 4.01 ERA, 4.46 FIP, and 5.19 SIERA. Keller is a ground ball pitcher with an impressive .270 BABIP and an extremely low fly ball rate. Despite his success this year I just don’t see him out performing this extremely talented and powerful Twins lineup. Preferred Stack: Max Kepler ($4400 FD|$5300 DK), Nelson Cruz ($4500 FD|$5600 DK), Jorge Polanco ($4500 FD|$5600 DK), and Eddie Rosario ($3700 FD|$4500 DK).Fantasy Stack: Houston Astros vs. LHP Tommy Milone (SEA): UPDATE**Low RiskThe Astros are another team that has been on fire in their series. Seattle has rolled out three sub par left handed pitchers and have payed the price for it in the form of Houston power righties. Houston is slashing to a massive .340 ISO, .402 wOBA, and 160 WRC+. These are incredible hitting numbers, some of the best I’ve seen all season. Tommy Milone has the pleasure of taking on this hot Astros squad and owns a 4.39 ERA, 4.97 FIP, and 4.08 SIERA. He is allowing 1.92 HR/9 and a 45% fly ball rate. Stack the Astros with confidence.Preferred Stack: Jose Altuve ($4300 FD|$5100 DK), Alex Bregman ($3900 FD|$4800 DK), George Springer ($4400 FD|$5400 DK), and Yuli Gurriel ($3200 FD|$4500 DK).Honorable MentionFantasy Stack: New York Metsvs. RHP Joe Musgrove (PIT): 4.70 Runs**Moderate RiskPreferred Stack: Jeff McNeil ($4000 FD|$4400 DK), Michael Conforto ($4400 FD|$5300 DK), Pete Alonso ($4200 FD|$4600 DK), Robinson Cano ($3800 FD|$4300 DK).

MLB MLB DFS Stack Insights for July 19 Jared Contestabile 5 years ago written by Jared Contestabile Here are some MLB DFS Stack Tips for Friday1.) Los Angeles DodgersZac Gallen has had walk troubles this season and in his last two starts he has given up a bomb. With the major power in this Dodgers lineup along with their ability to draw walks, it doesn’t bode well for Gallen. I’m taking all the power lefties in this one. I also have fallen in love with Justin Turner as Gallen has a .289 BAA against right-handed bats this season. I think the Dodgers get to Gallen early and chase down double digit runs in this MLB DFS Stack.2.) Toronto Blue Jays Jordan Zimmermann, Oh Lord. At home this season he holds a 7.20 ERA. No, that is not a typo. Jordan Zimmermann is horrible. He is even worse against left handed bats (.330 BAA and a .515 SLG). I don’t have any major preference with the Blue Jays, I’m sure some will be popular to use for value as everyone will try to jam in JV. My advice is to get different. Bottom order wrap around MLB DFS stack is definitely in play here. I LOVE the Blue Jays for tournaments.3.) New York Yankees Man, what happened to Kyle Freeland? As recently as last year he was dominant, now he’s a gas can. I’ll gladly add to the flame here and pour on a flood of Yankees. Against right handed bats this season Freeland has a .286 BAA and a .576 SLG. The number I’m mostly looking at, though, is the 45.4% hard hit rate. With all the power in this Yankees lineup, Freeland could be hitting the showers very early against this MLB DFS Stack.4.) Milwaukee Brewers Taylor Clarke is coming off an injury and is already a gas can. He holds a 6.92 ERA at home and a .269 BAA. The Brewers are one of the most dominant offenses in the league and can hang a crooked number at any moment. The Brewers will be my MLB DFS Stack pair with the Blue Jays for my single entry tournaments tonight. 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLB Stack Report for MLB Main Slate: Winning Edge for July 19 Daniel Wehr 5 years ago written by Daniel Wehr This report will provide recommended DFS stacks for today’s 14-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks. **All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 5-6 PM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer to the postseason. Make sure you are watching the weather as well.New York Yankees Stackvs. LHP Kyle Freeland (COL): 6.90 RunsI glared at the computer for awhile this morning trying to figure out how to get away from this Yankees chalk tonight and I can’t do it. Kyle Freeland is just downright terrible. He carries a 7.39 ERA, 6.13 FIP, and 5.18 SIERA on the season. He has allowed 43 earned runs across 53 innings to right-handed batters. Freeland is allowing a massive 2.27 HR/9 innings and 43% hard contact. Freeland is not at Coors, but he is in very hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have been slumping off just a bit coming off the break, but this team is jam packed with talent and it would be foolish to fade them. The Yankees are slashing to a .365 wOBA, .225 ISO, and 128 WRC+ over the last month. I’m typically an advocate against using the Yankees on most nights, but I feel confident using these right handed power bats this evening.Preferred Plays: Aaron Judge ($4500 FD|$5300 DK), DJ Lemahieu ($3800 FD|$4700 DK), Gary Sanchez ($3900 FD|$4600 DK), and Luke Voit ($3800 FD|$4600 DK). Also consider: Gleyber Torres ($3400 FD|$4500 DK) and Edwin Encarnacion ($4100 FD|$5000 DK).Cleveland Indians Stackvs. LHP Mike Montgomery (KCR): 6.15 RunsMike Montgomery was a top prospect not long ago but has not had a good 2019 campaign. I doubt he’s stretched out all the way so he should be limited today. We have a small sample size to go off of here, but Montgomery carries a 5.67 ERA, 6.21 FIP, and 5.25 SIERA over 27 innings pitched this season. His splits indicate he struggles more with lefties. They are slashing to a .556 wOBA, .868 SLG, and .512 OBP. Montgomery is not much better against righties (thus far). They are slashing to a .336 wOBA, .464 SLG, and .338 OBP. Obviously these numbers are inflated due to limited action this season but most tend to go for the handedness matchup, so don’t be afraid to differentiate with some Cleveland lefties. Cleveland bats are red hot right now. They are slashing to a .369 wOBA, .255 ISO, and 128 WRC+ over the last couple of weeks.Preferred Plays: Roberto Perez ($2800 FD|$4100 DK), Carlos Santana ($4300 FD|$4900 DK), Jordan Luplow ($2600 FD|$4100 DK), Francisco Lindor ($4100 FD|$5100 DK). Also consider: Oscar Mercado ($3300 FD|$4900 DK) and Tyler Naquin ($3000 FD|$4200 DK).Toronto Blue Jays Stackvs. RHP Jordan Zimmermann (DET): 5.90 RunsJordan Zimmermann heads into tonight’s matchup carrying a 7.01 ERA, 4.64 FIP, and 5.35 SIERA. That ERA is a little elevated compared to his FIP and SIERA. That is because of his .344 BABIP and a lowly 58% LOB. Some of it can be attributed to bad luck but he also has a poor defense behind him, so that will drive his ERA up whereas FIP measures things only the pitcher can control. Bats are slashing to a .350 wOBA, .508 SLG, and .348 OBP on the season against him. Zimmermann has allowed 41 earned runs across 52.2 innings pitched. He has only allowed seven home runs in that span. Blue Jays batters are slashing to a .351 wOBA, .234 ISO, and 120 WRC+ over the last month. They have seen a dip in their batting averages recently, but this is a good spot for Toronto to do some damage.Preferred Plays: Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($4000 FD|$4900 DK), Eric Sogard ($3300 FD|$4300 DK), Freddy Galvis ($3200 FD|$3800 DK),Randal Grichuk ($3400 FD|$3700 DK), and Vlad Guerrero Jr. ($2900 FD|$3700 DK) Also consider: Justin Smoak ($3100 FD|$3700 DK) and Billy McKinney ($2400 FD|$3400 DK).Honorable MentionBoston Red Sox Stackvs. LHP John Means (BAL): 6.00 RunsPreferred Stack: Christian Vazquez ($2800 FD|$4700 DK), Xander Bogaerts ($4500 FD|$5700 DK), Rafael Devers ($4400 FD|$5400 DK), and J.D.

MLB Stack Report for MLB Main Slate: Winning Edge for July 15 5 years ago written by This report will provide recommended DFS stacks for today’s 10-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks. **All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 5-6 PM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer we get to the postseason.Cleveland Indians Stackvs. LHP Daniel Norris (DET): 6.30 RunsDaniel Norris takes the mound in Cleveland this evening. He carries a 4.96 ERA, 4.62 FIP, and 4.71 ERA into tonight’s matchup. We get a nice little recipe here with his reverse splits. Left handed batters are slashing to a .367 wOBA, .540 SLG, and .343 OBP across 16 innings pitched. He has allowed 13 runs in that short span. His 40% hard contact rate and 40% pull rate combined with his shakiness to lefties can make for some easy liners to right field. Norris racked up eight strikeouts but gave up six earned runs in his last meeting with Cleveland. Cleveland batters are hitting below their season averages this month, slashing to a .309 wOBA, .154 ISO, and 88 WRC+. These numbers aren’t typically what we look for but they’re in the worst part of their slump and this is a good opportunity to bust out of it. Preferred Stack: Roberto Perez ($2700 FD|$4100 DK), Jordan Luplow ($2500 FD|$3900 DK), Carlos Santana ($3800 FD|$5000 DK), and Francisco Lindor ($4000 FD|$4900 DK).Colorado Rockies Stackvs. RHP Derek Rodriguez (SFG):Dereck Rodriguez was called up from AAA as the 26th man ahead of today’s doubleheader. He carries a 5.27 ERA, 5.57 FIP, and 5.46 SIERA across 57 innings pitched into tonight’s game. He has struggled both to righties and lefties, allowing a .338 wOBA, .462 SLG, and 46% hard contact rate. The Rockies batting averages are creeping up again on this home stand and should continue to rise this evening. They are slashing to a .349 wOBA, .193 ISO, and .457 SLG against right handed pitching recently and the studs in this lineup are coming off a rest day.Preferred Stack:Charlie Blackmon ($4800 FD|$5700 DK), Daniel Murphy ($4100 FD|$5200 DK), David Dahl ($4200 FD|$5500 DK), Trevor Story ($4600 FD|$5600 DK), and Nolan Arenado ($4700 FD|$5400 DK). Every stack report in the industry is going to have the Giants and Rockies. Ownership almost always levitates to Coors, especially when you have Dereck Rodriguez (SFG) and Chi Chi Gonzalez (COL) pitching. Going to be a lot of ownership on both sides here ,so I am not writing up the Giants in detail for that purpose, but I’ve included my preferred stack if you decide to go with the masses tonight. Preferred Stack: Alex Dickerson ($3800 FD|$4800 DK), Stephen Vogt ($2700 FD|$4300 DK), Evan Longoria ($3500 FD|$5300 DK), Pablo Sandoval ($2900 FD|$4900 DK), Brandon Crawford ($3000 FD|$3900 DK), and Austin Slater ($3600 FD|$5000 DK). Los Angeles Dodgers Stackvs. RHP Zach Eflin (PHI): 5.40 Runs I imagine ownership here will be higher as well. It’s not very often we get the Dodgers so early in the evening. Zach Eflin carries a 3.78 ERA, 4.66 FIP, and 4.70 SIERA into tonight’s matchup. Left handed batters are slashing to a .357 wOBA, .544 SLG, and .333 OBP. He has allowed 22 earned runs and 11 home runs across 43 innings pitched to lefties as well. The only concern I really have with Dodgers batters here is a possible hangover from last night’s game. The Dodgers are slashing .to a 335 wOBA, .209 ISO, and 109 WRC+ vs. right handed pitching over the last month. Preferred Stack:Max Muncy ($3800 FD|$4600 DK), Alex Verdugo ($3100 FD|$4100 DK), Cody Bellinger ($4800 FD|$5100 DK), and Joc Pederson ($2600 FD|$4200 DK). Boston Red Sox Stackvs. RHP Trent Thornton (TOR): 6.25 Runs The Red Sox get another cupcake matchup against Thornton. They have faced him twice this season, his first outing in Boston when he allowed only two earned runs and a recent second outing in Toronto in which he allowed seven earned runs. This Red Sox team is hitting very well recently. They are slashing .372 wOBA, .254 ISO, and 129 WRC+. I have the same concern with the Red Sox as with the Dodgers. They played late last night but they do get the benefit at being at home. Trent Thornton has a 4.85 ERA, 4.41 FIP, and 4.75 ERA on the year. He has identical splits, allowing batters to slash to a .332 wOBA, .321 BABIP, and .444 SLG. Preferred Stack: Rafael Devers ($4100 FD|$5500 DK), Xander Bogaerts ($4400 FD|$5300 DK), Mookie Betts ($4200 FD|$4800 DK), and Christian Vazquez ($2900 FD|$4700 DK).Honorable MentionHouston Astros vs. RHP Griffin Canning (LAA): 4.90 RunsPreferred Stack: Alex Bregman ($4200 FD|$4400 DK), Yordan Alvarez ($4300 FD|$4800 DK), Michael Brantley ($3900 FD|$4000 DK), and Yuli Gurriel ($3800 FD|$4200 DK).Toronto Blue Jays vs. RHP Rick Porcello (BOS): 4.25 RunsPreferred Stack: Freddy Galvis ($3200 FD|$4300 DK), Cavan Biggio ($3700 FD|$4500 DK), Eric Sogard ($3300 FD|$4700 DK), and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($3800 FD|$5300 DK).PitchingRHP Adam Plutko vs. DET: 4.20 RunsRHP Lucas Giolito vs. KCR: 4.40 RunsLHP James Paxton vs. TAM: 4.00 RunsFollow us on Twitter! 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
Daily Fantasy Sports 7/15 MLB DFS Podcast with The King and Our Weather/MLB Expert Scott Engel 5 years ago written by Scott Engel Scott Engel and Mark Paquette discuss the Main FanDuel MLB DFS Slate on the 7/15 MLB DFS Podcast. They break down the main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. Saving on Monday PitchingThere are some big names to possibly spend up on, such as Luis Castillo, but Scott and Mark offer a pair of arms that can save you some cash and help you stack from the Colorado/San Francisco game. Kyle Hendricks is under $10,000 on DK, and Joe Musgrove is incredibly cheap when you consider how he has been pitching recently. 7/15 MLB DFS Podcast StacksThere are a few likable options for tonight, and the Blue Jays are one of them. We also have to give strong consideration to the Braves. Of course, the second game of the Rockies/Giants doubleheader offers us some apparent quality options.

MLB Stack Report for Main Slate: Winning Edge for July 7 Daniel Wehr 5 years ago written by Daniel Wehr This report will provide stacks that I recommend for today’s 11 game main slate. I’ve also included my favorite one-offs and value plays. Boston Red Sox Stackvs. LHP Gregory Soto (DET): 6.30 RunsThe Red Sox come in with the highest implied run total on the slate today. I do not expect Soto to pitch more than an inning or two but once he comes out he has an awful bullpen behind him. The Red Sox are slashing a league best .382 wOBA, .216 ISO, and .920 OPS over the last two weeks. Greg Soto carries 8.06 ERA, 6.29 FIP, and 5.88 SIERA over a small sample of 22 innings pitched. He is atrocious to righties. They are slashing .415 wOBA, .632 SLG, and .391 OBP against him. The Red Sox have a lot of right handed power early in the lineup and Soto struggles there the most as indicated above. This makes guy’s like Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, and J.D. Martinez early on a priority. The bullpen should open things up for Rafael Devers to crack the slate open, although he also hits lefties well.Preferred Stack: J.D. Martinez ($4000 FD|$4700 DK), Mookie Betts ($4200 FD|$4900 DK), Xander Bogaerts ($4200 FD|$5000 DK), and Rafael Devers ($4400 FD|$5600 DK).Toronto Blue Jays Stackvs. RHP Asher Wojciechowski (BAL): 5.95 RunsAsher Wojciechowski has bounced around multiple farm systems since 2010 and has limited big show experience other than the 62 innings pitched he tossed for the Reds in 2017. Through his career, Wojciechowski carries 6.62 ERA, 4.92 FIP, and 4.25 SIERA. He surrenders 1.81 HR/9 over that same time span and typically gives up over 50% fly ball rate. The Blue Jays offense has hit extremely well against right handed pitching the last few weeks. They are slashing a massive .399 wOBA, .318 ISO, and 152 WRC+ in that time span. I like this lineup a lot more when Randal Grichuk is in it. He is currently projected to start but is nursing a back injury. Boost to Toronto if he plays today.Preferred Stack: Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ($3800 FD|$5500 DK), Cavan Biggio ($3800 FD|$4700 DK), Freddie Galvis $3400 FD|$4300 DK), Eric Sogard ($3400 FD|$4700 DK) and Justin Smoak ($3000 FD|$4100 DK) are my preferred plays. Danny Jansen ($2900 FD|$3800 DK) is okay for value but I typically won’t waste my utility spot on a catcher. Randal Grichuk ($3200 FD|$3800 DK) if he plays, if not Brandon Drury ($2500 FD|$3300 DK) is a decent value play.Chicago Cubs Stackvs. RHP Ivan Nova (CHW): 6.00 RunsI’m going to jump on this Cubs train before it passes me by this weekend. This team has quietly hit very well to right handed pitching over the last two weeks, slashing .354 wOBA, .233 ISO, and .515 SLG. Ivan Nova carries 5.92 ERA, 5.43 FIP, and 5.06 SIERA into today’s matchup. Nova isn’t giving up a ton of fly balls, but he does have a .339 BABIP to compliment his 45% ground ball rate. His splits are awful and close to identical. He holds a .386 wOBA, .512 SLG, and .368 OBP on the season. Wilson Contreras, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, and Jason Heyward all sit in the top 45 hitters in the league with the best HR/FB ratio. Preferred Stack: Jason Heyward ($3500 FD|$4800 DK), Kyle Schwarber ($3900 FD|$4300), Anthony Rizzo ($4300 FD|$4800 DK), Wilson Contreras ($3600 FD|$5300 DK), and Javier Baez ($4100|$5300). I have a ton of interest in Robel Garcia ($2000 FD|$2200 DK). He’s essentially a free square with the fantastic matchup and minimum pricing. Lock him in.Honorable MentionsHouston Astros Stackvs. LHP Jose Saurez (LAA): 5.90 RunsPreferred Stack: Jose Altuve ($3600 FD|$3900 DK), Alex Bregman ($4100 FD|$4700 DK), and Yordan Alvarez ($4200 FD|$4700 DK).Baltimore Orioles Stackvs. RHP Trent Thornton(TOR): 4.55 RunsPreferred Stack: Chance Sisco ($3500 FD|$4200 DK), Anthony Santander ($3000 FD|$3900 DK), Renato Nunez ($3300 FD|$4400 DK) Chris Davis ($2500 FD|$3000 DK), and Jonathan Villar ($3600 FD|$4500 DK).One-Offs and Value PlaysRobel Garcia (CHC) ($2000 FD|$2200 DK), Chris Davis (BAL) ($2500 FD|$3000 DK), Mike Trout (LAA) ($4800 FD|$5800 DK), Matt Olson (OAK) ($3500 FD|$4800 DK), and Ian Desmond (COL) ($3000 FD|$4700 DK). 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLB DFS Winning Edge for 7/5: Main Slate Stack Report Daniel Wehr 5 years ago written by Daniel Wehr For those not familiar, my name is Dan Wehr and I am a new author here at WinDailyDFS. This report will provide stacks that I recommend for today’s 13 game main slate. I’ve also included my favorite one offs and value plays. Toronto Blue Jaysvs. RHP Dylan Bundy (BAL): 5.90 RunsThe Toronto side of this game will undoubtedly be on the chalkier side given how well the Jays are hitting and also how bad Dylan Bundy can be more often than not. Bundy carries 4.91 ERA, 5.29 FIP, and 4.38 SIERA. Bundy has nearly identical splits and neither are great. He carries an average of .336 wOBA, .470 SLG, and .323 OBP. Bundy is also allowing 2.03 HR/9 and 42% FB rate. Toronto is slashing to a tune of .412 wOBA, .289 ISO, 162 WRC+, and .603 SLG to right handed pitching over the last two weeks.Preferred Stack: Cavan Biggio $3700 FD|$4400 DK, Eric Sogard $3300 FD|$4600 DK, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. $3800 FD|$5800 DK, Freddie Galvis $2900 FD|$4000 DK, and Justin Smoak $2800 FD|$3700 DK.Atlanta Bravesvs. RHP Jordan Yamamoto (MIA): 5.95 RunsJordan Yamamoto has a fairly small sample size coming into tonight’s matchup against the Braves. He lucked out his first two starts, taking on a Cardinals team who had been pretty inefficient against right handed pitching leading up to those two games where he found success. Yamamoto carries 4.57 ERA, 5.60 FIP, and 4.96 SIERA into tonight’s matchup. He has tremendous splits carrying .206 wOBA, .145 SLG, and .258 OBP through 23 innings pitched. I expect regression to the mean and the Braves are hitting very well recently. The Braves are slashing .330 wOBA, .220 ISO, and .466 SLG over the last two weeks.Preferred Stack: Freddie Freeman $4400 FD|$5100 DK, Ronald Acuna Jr. $4200 FD|$5200 DK, Brian McCann $2700 FD|$3400 DK, Josh Donaldson $3100 FD|$3900 DK, and Nick Markaikas $3000 FD|$3900 DK.Washington Nationalsvs. RHP Brad Keller (KCR): 6.10 RunsTonight we have Brad Keller in D.C. taking on the Nationals on a very hot and humid evening. Keller carries 4.46 ERA, 4.63 FIP, and 5.39 SIERA into tonight’s game. He is pretty inconsistent but overall he looks to be decent on paper. He is only allowing 0.69 HR/9 and GB rate of 50% while only allowing 36% hard contact. His splits are identical, so we can feel good about going after guys like Anthony Rendon and Trea Turner. The Nationals are slashing to a tune of .300 wOBA, .142 ISO, and .378 SLG over the last two weeks. Look for Nat’s flyball hitters to elevate Keller’s pitches tonight.Preferred Stack: Juan Soto $4200 FD|$5400 DK, Anthony Rendon $4400 FD|$5200 DK, Trea Turner $4000 FD|$5300 DK, and Adam Eaton $3000 FD|$3800 DK.Honorable MentionsBaltimore Orioles vs. RHP Aaron Sanchez (TOR): 5.10 RunsPreferred Stack: Chance Sisco $3500 FD|$4000 DK, Renato Nunez $3200 FD|$4100 DK, Anthony Santander $3100 FD|$3900 DK, and Trey Mancini $3600 FD|$4300 DK. Jonathan Villar on FD $3400.Boston Red Soxvs. LHP Gregory Soto (DET): 6.75 RunsPreferred Stack: JD Martinez $4400 FD|$4800 DK, Xander Bogaerts $4100 FD|$5200 DK, Christian Vasquez $3000 FD|$4300 DK and Jackie Bradley Jr. $2900 FD|$3900 DK.One-off’s and Value PlaysTom Murphy (SEA) $2400 FD|$3700 DK, Yordan Alvarez (HOU) $4100 FD|$4600 DK, Hunter Renfroe (SDP) $2800 FD|$4000 DK, Nicholas Castellanos (DET) $3300 FD|$4000 DK, Jose Martinez (STL) $2700 FD|$3600 DK, and Dwight Smith Jr. (BAL) $2900 FD|$4000 DK. 5 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
