Long Ball Targets

(All stats on the charts are since 2014)

Kris Bryant FD 3900 DK 5300
Opponent - PHI (Morgan) Park - @PHI
FD - 12.68 DK - 9.81

My first long ball prediction of the year goes to -- Kris Bryant! He's in an excellent spot going up southpaw Adam Morgan. Let's just say Mr.Morgan has been very friendly this season, especially to hitters that hit from the right side of the plate. On the year, they own a .383 wOBA, 38.4% hard hit rate and .564 SLG. Those numbers are just ridiculous! I am expecting Kris Bryant and his .341 wOBA/.279 ISO to take advantage of the struggling southpaw.

Javier Baez FD 2600 DK 3500
Opponent - PHI (Morgan) Park - @PHI
FD - 11.2 DK - 9.05

Damn Nick, back at it again with another guy from the Cubs! Yes I am, but this time it's Javier Baez.

You all know how bad Adam Morgan is against right-handed bats (talked about his stats in the Kris Bryant section), so I will just talk about Javier Baez and how good he has been against left-handed pitchers this year. On the year, he owns a .502 wOBA and .200 ISO. His wOBA is just mind blowing against left-handed pitchers. The 23-year-old also has some tremendous power, so look for him to showcase it against Morgan.

The Cubs are all over our Daily Picks article and Stacks article, so don't be shy rostering the Cubs into your lineups.

Eric Hosmer FD 3600 DK 3400
Opponent - BAL (Wright) Park - @BAL
FD - 10.15 DK - 7.98

The third and final guy on this list is Eric Hosmer. He isn't a guy you really think of when you hear the word "long ball" or "dinger," but I like the spot he's in tonight to do just that! He will be going up against Mike Wright tonight, who struggles against left-handed bats. On the year, they own a .433 wOBA to go along with a .607 SLG. You thought Morgan's splits are bad vs. righties -- well Wright's splits vs. lefties are even worse. Hosmer on the year owns a .425 wOBA and .222 ISO. He has shown his ability to hit for power this season as his ISO has jumped from .172 to .222 (total of 50 points). The matchup is a great one for the World Series champion, and he will get a huge ballpark boost playing at Camden Yards. Have yourself a night, Eric Hosmer!

So yeah, baseball season! And we've got some goodies you can take with you. At the end of the post, we have our MLB eBook that you really ought to check out before setting even a single daily fantasy MLB lineup. It's free, below.
