MLB DFS Fastballs & Flyballs 7/25
Tonight we are looking at a 6 game slate. PITCHERS Jose Berrios Berrios and Giolito are the 2 highest priced arms and face off against each other. They have both pitched well most of the year. This is a better matchup for Berrios, so I lean towards him tonight. The White Sox have struck out at a 27% clip and are hitting at a .243 average against RHP over the last 30 days. VALUE ARMs Brett Anderson On a 6 game slate with limited options at pitcher Anderson stands out as he usually goes 6 innings and gives up limited runs. He is an elite ground ball pitcher keeping the ball on the ground at a 70% clip vs LHHs and 50% vs RHHs. On the year Anderson has limited both right and left handed hitter in average, wOBA and HRs. The Rangers have not hit well vs LHP on the year and over the past 30 days they are striking out at a 27% clip and hitting .225. Wade LeBlanc LeBlanc is a cheap option going against a bad team. The Tigers have struggled vs LHP on the year and over the past 30 days with a .233 average and 27% K rate. *Berrios & LeBlanc Anderon & LeBlanc with high price bats. TEAM/S LA Angels Targeting the worst pitcher and staff tonight. The Os will start Jimmy Yacabonis and most likely put in Eshelman right after. Both pitchers are terrible. Yacabonis has been getting crushed by hitters from both sides of the plate- vL .429 wOBA, 3.8 HRs/9, vR .385 wOBA and 1.4 HRs/9 with a 40% HC. Eshelman is not much better – vL .392 wOBA 3.7 HRs/9 & vR .353 wOBA and 2.7 HRs/9. The Baltimore pitching staff has allowed the most HRs on the year and has the worst ERA. Ohtani is my favorite play on the Angels, but Trout & Upton are in good spots as well. My favorite stack tonight. Dustin Garneau is a nice value option at C. The ball has been flying out in Angel stadium this year. *Yankees/Red Sox This is the game that will pick up the most attention tonight. Porcello vs Tanaka. Porcello has been pretty bad this year and the Yankees have beat up on him a few time soon already this year. On the other side Tanaka- Red Sox have hit well vs him. Favorite Bats, but most in play. Yankees- Hicks, Didi, Encanacion(hits well in Fenway). Red Sox- Benintendi, Devers, Betts, Martinez FAVORITE BATS Aaron Hicks Hicks is coming into this series with the Red Sox hitting the ball well. In his last 17 games he has 7 mutli-hit games and 6 HRs (3 HRs in his last 4 games). Tonight he gets to face Rick Porcello who has allowed 27 runs over his last 22 innings with 6 HRs in that time-frame. Porcello also struggles a bit more with hitters from the left side of the plate allowing a .299 average, 1.5 HRs/9 and a 46% FB rate. Hicks and Gregorious are the 2 Yankees s I have the most interest in. Shohei Ohtani Ohtani gets an excellent matchup tonight vs the bad Os pitching staff. Yacabonis and Eschelman have both been beat down by lefties. On the year Ohtani has close to a .400 wOBA and .260 ISO vs RHP. This is one of the better spots for the Angels and I expect Ohtani, Trout and Upton to lead the way tonight. Few Other Options **Olson/Chapman & Canha have a good matchup vs Jurado tonight. Canha has over a .300 ISO vs RHP and Chapman & Olson are around a .250 ISO. Jurado struggles more vs RHP. *Dan Vogelbach vs a sup par pitcher. 2 multi HR games over last 5. VALUE BATS James McCann(C)-hits well vs Berrios 6-15 with 3 HRs. Tom Murphy(C) Hanser Alberto(2B/3B) Tim Beckham(SS) Austin Nola(1B) Jacoby Jones(OF) Kris Davis(OF) perfect matchup for a HR!
The Cycle 7/24
The Cycle Bieber – Hes been excellent over his last 7 starts with 5 quality starts while striking out 6 or more in every start. He faces a Toronto team which struck out 9 times the last time they saw him. He’s a bit expensive, but a 5x-6x upside is absolutely there tonight. Lopez – There’s certain times to ride the Lopez train when he’s such a streaky pitcher. Coming off back to back quality starts and 15 combines k’s in his last 2 starts, he faces an anemic marlins team that sucks. Lopez has the stuff to overpower this team, and is prices low enough to give you 5x. Lyles – He was so dominant early in the season, and just fell off out of no where. St. Louis is a team we’ve been picking on with pitchers recently, and they just can’t seem to string a ton of meaningful hits together. Lyles looked strong last start striking out 7 Phillies and has dominated this cardinals team this year striking out 6 in his only start. The Bats Dodgers – Going back to the dodger lefties again tonight. Barria doesn’t keep the ball in the park. Washington – Freeland has got to be the biggest disappointment on this Rockies staff this year. Righties and Soto will make it tough for him again tonight. Minnesota – soft tossing lefties against Cruz….we’ve seen the outcomes. Garver is destroying lefties, and Sano looks like he’s heating up.

The Cycle 7/23
The Staff Smith – Love this spot for him tonight in what should be a game where we can see close to double digit k’s. He owns an insane 32% k rate against RHB and a 38% swinging strike with his slider. Nola – I’ve been targeting Detroit with RHP for a while. Nola has been unhittable aside from one hiccup over the last 30 days giving up just 7 runs in his last 6 games while striking out 48. Paddack – New York is going into sell mode so we can take this 2 ways. Either they give a crap about how they play, or they put on a show for their new team. Paddock had been dominant over his last 3 starts giving up just 2 runs while striking out 22. San Diego should pick up the win today as well. The Bats Arizona – They were so close to popping off last night in a big way, but think they do it tonight. Marte and Escobar are both on fire. Love the lefties with Jones. Dodgers – Pena has been good but he does allow a lot of runs off him. Dodgers are a team that punish pitchers at home, so expect 3-4 homers tonight (muncy/Joc) Atlanta – it’s not as hot as I would like in Atlanta, but still it’s a road team throwing a lefty here. Albies and Acuna I love today, and once Duffy is out Freeman tee’s off on the pen. Mini stacks Cleveland – Lindor/Slamtana Houston – Brantley/Alvarez Philly – Kingery/Realmuto
