Even though there was some progress within the group of night our week lasted with last night’s FanDuel MLB DFS Picks.
Our starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz surrendered just two earned runs, but he also allowed eight hits and a couple of walks and continued only 4.2 innings as a result, falling one out shy of qualifying what was eventually a Braves win. Only three struck out at the process to provide a base from the lineup to us.
Our four-man Twins left plenty to be desired regardless of the team scoring eight runs against Ross Detwiler and the White Sox bullpen. Mitch Garver was undoubtedly the ideal bat of the team because he homered with two RBI and 2 runs as part of a three-hit night too. Nelson Cruz gave us only two falls, Miguel Sano knocked in a run and C.J. Cron delivered just a single on this evening.
Our three-man Indians pile was completed by one bat — Jason Kipnis. The Indians’ second baseman homered twice off of starter Jordan Zimmermann and after off of the Tigers bullpen that was bad. While Yasiel Puig delivered a goose egg, franmil Reyes singled and walked.
Eventually, our one sided shortstop — Detroit’s Willi Castro — knocked in a run using a sacrifice fly.
We’re still seeking to find the bats moving and that will be the goal on the six-game slate that is primary of tonight!
P — Jacob deGrom (NYM) — $11,300 vs. CHC
I did a little study on each pitcher but that I could not justify not reaching for the ceiling of deGrom because he chooses on the Cubs tonight. The Cubs can hit right-handed pitching and current Cubs players have combined to hit .299 with a rock-solid .777 OPS against him, however the Cubs are a little strikeout prone too and deGrom boasts double-digit strikeout upside no matter who he faces in any given dedication. Entering this one tonight, deGrom sports a 2.56 ERA, 2.67 FIP along with a 3.20 xFIP over the summer season to go together with a bit-time 11.50 K/9 clip, even numbers that have actually seen him climb back to the Cy Young race after a rough start to the year. DeGrom faced a Braves offense all deGrom did to Atlanta was hurl seven innings of both one-run ball to go alongside a whopping 13 punchouts. DeGrom has allowed just two earned runs over his previous three starts united, exposing 19 innings of work. He hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs since ago on June 28th and hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in a start. Eight of the 26 starts this year have led to double-digit strikeouts and together with the Cubs athletic the league’s 10th-highest K-rate versus righties at 23.6percent, but his ninth might not be far off.
C/1B — Pete Alonso (NYM) — $4,100 vs. CHC
Pete Alonso is enjoying a time with the Mets at 2019 as he’s already set the record for most home runs in Mets rookie history and is now the one time home run leader for a single-season in Mets history. Next on the chopping block is your MLB rookie home run record, and there is a chance he gets that done tonight against left-hander Jon Lester. Of late, Lester has scuffled after a lights-out start to the season and has been blowup prone. The veteran allowed six earned runs in his last outing from the Nationals and allowed a whopping nine earned runs four starts ago 1 beginning, against the A’s after allowing five earned runs into the Cardinals. Not just is Lester blowup prone, but Alonso is embarrassing left handed pitching at home this season to the song of an unworldly .520 ISO, 1.173 OPS, .453 wOBa and 187 wRC+. Is that good? The guy has homered seven times in only 50 this season. He’s also cruising right along at the moment as Alonso has posted a big-time .319 ISO, .980 OPS, .395 wOBA and 150 wRC+ thus far from the month of August. I believe Ioperate with the guy and’ll take this kind of manufacturing.
2B — Nick Solak (TEX) — $2,900 vs. SEA
Even the Texas Rangers face a familiar foe tonight because they take on right-hander Felix Hernandez from the veteran second start back from a span IL stint. Even though Hernandez posted a pleasant 3.38 ERA along with five rehabilitation starts and allowed just two earned runs across 5.2 innings in his return to the big leagues, he owns a 6.09 ERA and a 5.80 FIP about the year after pitching into a 5.55 ERA along with 5.18 FIP final year. As a result, I feel a few Rangers exposure is in order as I’ll kick a mini-stack with here. The former Rays and Yankees farmhand has been red-hot at the plate because debuting at the big leagues with the Rangers this season as Solak owns a .357/.486/.536 slash line round the first nine matches and 35 plate looks of his career, great for a 166 wRC+. Clearly, this sort of output is not likely to be more replaceable, however I enjoy the upside against a pitcher that is largely struggled during the previous few seasons. Solak has hit 27 home runs between the Rangers and Rays Triple-A affiliates this year and he’s stolen five bases. Obviously the possibility is there and has to sneak from the big leagues, although he is homered once. I like Solak in this place as opposed which Rangers participant Rougned Odor brings to the table.
3B — Starlin Castro (MIA) — $2,400 vs. CIN
Considering that the sky-high price we’re paying for deGrom and the simple absence of choices on a tiny six-game slate, I’m going to lineup a Marlins stack within this lineup in addition to they shoot on left-hander Alex Wood and the Cincinnati Reds tonight. While Wood has mainly been a trusted MLB arm with a 3.39 ERA across 833 big league innings for his profession, he is actually fighting big-time this year after spending the year on the IL with a rear problem. Around six starts this year, Wood was pumped around for a 6.07 ERAand also a number very much supported by his almost-identical 6.04 FIP. He has also allowed home runs at an alarming 2.43 HR/9 speed, so I want to target Wood before he gets things straightened out. Castro, despite having a down year, is really having a great season against left-handed pitching using a .321 average, .172 ISO, .833 OPS, .347 wOBA and a 118 wRC+ from left handed pitching. In other words, with park factors contained, Castro was 18 percent better than league average vs southpaws this season. He also possesses a highly effective .217 ISO in the home versus lefties this year. Finally, he’s had plenty of success from Wood in the past as he has gone 5 for 10 with a double against the veteran lefty. I’ll take each the above at a bargain price versus a fighting Wood tonight.
SS — Amed Rosario (NYM) — $2,800 vs. CHC
Rosario brings fine tools into the table from Lester in this one tonight and the simple fact he is extremely likely to hit at the leadoff spot just offers him all the greater worth at this fair price considering his figures versus lefties and his profession numbers versus Lester. On the season against left wing casting, Rosario has posted a eye-popping stat line of a .322 average, .235 ISO, .930 OPS, .385 wOBA and huge 143 wRC+. No wonder he hits on lefties with leadoff , right? Rosario also brings some fine stolen base upside down to the dining table along together with 15 steals on the year to go together with his 12 home runs — five against lefties — however just two of his own 15 steals have come from a southpaw. Nevertheless, Rosario will have 2 steals against Lester in his career as he’s also gone 5 for 9 against him, albeit with those five strikes coming in only kind. Lester has quieted the running game this season after decades of an inability to throw over to first base as he allowed a whopping 44 steals in one year. He has allowed just seven to this stage in the calendar year, but Rosario very much remains a danger in this area. His big-time numbers versus lefties, his place as the leadoff hitter, his numbers against Lester and his power/speed combination all give me plenty of optimism for Rosario to present nice worth tonight.
OF — J.D. Davis (NYM) — $2,900 vs. CHC
I will finish my three-man Mets heap right here using Davis, a stack I wanted to go one farther with but we can only roster three Mets bats because of utilizing deGrom as our pitcher. Still, it’s been a fruitful season for Davis in his first full big league effort as he has hit lefties and righties for power that is notable. Against lefties, Davis is hitting .310 with a .195 ISO, .885 OPS, .369 wOBA and 133 wRC+. Those numbers are in fact almost equal to his own numbers against right-handed pitching also, which is good as it makes him rather matchup-proof for if the Cubs’ bullpen enters the game. The one thing which I am loving about Davis tonight is how that his home/road splits. On the road, Davis possesses a small .118 ISO, .692 OPS, .297 wOBA and 80 wRC+. But in the home, his bat simply explodes to the tune of a .318 ISO, 1.100 OPS, .446 wOBA and also a 189 wRC+. I mean, with playground factors contained, Davis’ bat has been a whopping 89% (!!!) Above league average in home this year. The home numbers prefer left-handers as well, which will be another tidbit of good news in this matchup against the southpaw Lester. Ultimately, Davis has homered in back games and can be 5 for 12 in that time too, so let us make sure we purchase this lights-out bat in home to this lineup tonight.
OF — Willie Calhoun (TEX) — $3,700 vs. SEA
Calhoun was brought over in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization from the trade that shipped Yu Darvish into the Dodgers at 2017. Later, while Calhoun has always done harm in the minors, he struggled in his first taste of big league action at 2017 and after again scuffled when given an opportunity in 2018 too. But, 2019 continues to be another story. Calhoun has made good on the hype surrounding him at the time of this trade as he is smacked 15 home runs and possesses a .275 ISO across 56 games in the major league level this season. Lately, the lefty-swinging outfielder possesses reverse splits and has hit left-handed pitching to get a ton of power this year, something we have observed in the minors also, however he enters tonight wearing a .215 ISO, .813 OPS, .339 wOBA along with 104 wRC+ around the season versus right-handed pitching. Again, since he strikes both lefties and righties for electricity, I like his chances in the matchup game in the future in this one. Calhoun has been feeling it at the plate in the month of August as nicely with a .301 ISO, .904 OPS, .370 wOBA and a 125 wRC+ so far for the month while he is homered four occasions over his final nine matches and went 2 for 4 with a double and a stroll his final time out. He completes tonight to our against Hernandez.
OF — Harold Ramirez (MIA) — $2,200 vs. CIN
I did a little research to see if I wanted Ramirez or Austin Dean involved with this pile, and Ramirez got the edge in my opinion as Dean has to place it together in the big league level despite a few big-time minor league amounts against both lefties and righties. The Ramirez, although not exactly ripping the cover does have a good .741 OPS, .310 wOBA along with 94 wRC+ on the season against left-handed pitching. Prior to receiving the phone to the big leagues in 2019, Ramirez posted a huge 1.154 OPS with two homers and six rebounds across 30 at-bats against left-handed pitching in the Triple-A level. Like many bats in this group, Ramirez is definitely dealing with consistency problems, and given his cost, that’s obvious. He has a couple of three-hit games within the previous 11 days and a two-hit game combined in. While I definitely think there’s potential in his bat, particularly against lefties, this has something to do with the simple fact that Wood is enabling an .896 OPS to correct hitters this season in addition to a 2.28 HR/9 rate. He also owns a 6.17 FIP versus right-handed hitters this year. This lineup would be given a big shot in the arm tonight by some production from the low-owned Ramirez.
UTIL — Garrett Cooper (MIA) — $2,500 vs. CIN
Completing our lineup and Marlins pile is Cooper who will lead off this stack tonight out of the projected three-hole. Because of this, in case the FantasyLabs lineup projection proves accurate, we’ll have a 3-4-5 stack together with the trio of Castro Cooper along with Ramirez, a perfect stack to be sure. Cooper is a small amount of a late bloomer in 28-year-old and with only 120 huge league games under his beltbut he has shown some pop up this year with 12 home runs and also possesses a 108 wRC+ that demonstrates his bat has ever been more effective than league average with park points considered. His breaks are inverse in the sense that his bat has been productive on an overall basis versus right-handed pitching, but also that the electricity is increased versus lefties as he owns a .183 ISO versus lefties in comparison with some .143 mark against righties. Five of the 12 homers have come despite seeing them far less compared to right-handed pitchers. The fantastic thing is that Cooper possesses a .211 ISO, .815 OPS, .338 wOBA and 111 wRC+ in homer versus left-handed pitching this season. He has mostly scuffled in August, however is riding a modest three-game hit streak into tonight’s actions and doubled in last night’s game, his initial extra-base hit at a week and a half. Let’s see this evening, if this three-man Marlins stack can deliver some value against the struggling Wood.
