DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Friday 9/20/19 We only have two Friday's left in the regular season and I'm truly sad to the season coming to an end. It's been a fun season up to this point and our projection model has been killing it all year. Luckily, we don't have any Coors Field games on this slate and that makes things so much easier on us. What is weird about this time of the year is that we have wacky things happening with these rotations and lineups. So, be sure to monitor lineups and pitch counts before doing anything.

Pitchers Zack Greinke FD 9200 DK 9800 Opponent - LAA (Jaime Barria) Park - LAAFD - 37.86 DK - 20.39 The statistics from the Angels aren't going to tell you that this is a good play but this is simply not the same team right now. In fact, the Angels are without their three-best hitters, with Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Tommy LaStella all sidelined. That has players like Kole Calhoun, Albert Pujols and Jared Walsh making up the heart of this lineup. That's truly horrifying for Angels fans and it's no surprise this club ranks dead-last in runs scored for the month of September. We have to love someone as consistent as Greinke opposing them too, with the veteran posting a 2.95 ERA and 1.00 WHIP so far this season. That's why he and the Astros enter this matchup as a -350 favorite. Anibal Sanchez FD 8300 DK 8100 Opponent - MIA (Robert Dugger) Park - MIAFD - 31.35 DK - 16.33 These prices are truly shocking. Sanchez has really bounced back the last two seasons and it's hard to understand why these DFS sites are disrespecting him with these prices. In fact, Sanchez has a 3,38 ERA and 1.18 WHIP dating back to last season. He's shown signs of that recently, pitching at least seven innings in his last two starts while allowing a total of 10 baserunners and two runs. That's truly scary for one of the worst offenses in baseball, with the Marlins ranked bottom-two in runs scored, OBP, OPS and xwOBA. That doesn't even take into consideration that Marlins Park is one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in the Majors, with Sanchez entering this matchup as a -200 favorite. Only some pitch count concerns have me worried about Clayton Kershaw (FD $10400 DK $10800) not getting full run here. Catcher/First Base Ji-Man Choi FD 3000 DK...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Tuesday 9/17/19 With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, we have another fun Tuesday slate on the docket. This happens to be one of the last series played in Coors Field though, so it's time to get in those bats before it's too late. With that in mind, let's get into our Tuesday plays. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB and NFL optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Yu Darvish FD 10400 DK 11200 Opponent - CIN (Sonny Gray) Park - CINFD - 40.32 DK - 21.51 Darvish got off to a terrible start at the beginning of the year but he's been one of the best pitchers in the Majors over the last two months. In fact, Darvish has a 2.44 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 12.6 K/9 rate over his last 11 starts. That's the guy that we've been waiting for all season and we have to love him in a matchup like this. The Reds currently rank 20th in runs scored and 28th in xwOBA and could be without Joey Votto for this game. That was a team with Dereck Dietrich, Yasiel Puig and Scooter Gennett as well and it's clear that this is one of the worst lineups in baseball. Patrick Corbin FD 9700 DK 10800 Opponent - STL (Miles Mikolas) Park - STLFD - 35.45 DK - 19.37 Corbin doesn't get the best matchup in the Cardinals on Tuesday, but he's still coming far too cheap on both sites, but especially on FanDuel. Dude is striking out 10.33 batters per nine on the season and owns a 3.66 xFIP. St. Louis actually ranks below average this season against lefties with a .316 team wOBA in that split. I think we are getting Corbins peripherals at a discount even if there aren't tremendous win odds in his favor. You obviously have to strongly consider Justin Verlander (FD $12000 DK $12800) but it's so very expensive at this point and will come at the cost of decent bats. Catcher/First Base Daniel Murphy FD - 1B 3100 DK - 1B 4400 Opponent - NYM (Marcus Stroman) Park - COL FD - 14.14 DK - 10.86 These prices are downright insulting. We're talking about a great bat hitting in Coors Field being priced like a league-average hitter. That simply makes no sense when you consider that Murphy has an OPS north of .900 against righties since 2016. He happens to face a struggling righty here too, with Stroman generating a 4.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP since...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Writing up and stacking Coors Field is way too simple, so we're going to fade that game altogether. You know that all of those guys are good plays, so we'll do our best to offer up premium plays from other games. There are some great options on the board and the Astros happen to be our favorite stack of the day. With that in mind, let's get to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus as our two pitchers of the day. Pitchers Shane Bieber FD - P 11200 DK - SP 11800 Opponent - MIN (Jose Berrios) Park - CLE FD - 39.32 DK - 21.63 Ok, we lied about Justin Bieber but many people may not realize that this Bieber is one of the ten best pitchers in baseball right now. That's crystal clear by his 3.17 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, striking out 241 batters across 194.2 innings of action. Those absurd numbers put him in play against anyone and we're going to take a chance on him against the best offense in baseball. One thing that limits the Twins upside is the fact that they have to hit in Cleveland, which ranks as a pitcher-friendly park according to park factors. Bieber has actually had success against Minnesota all season long too, pitching to a 3.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 12.2 K/9 rate in three starts against them this season. Wade Miley FD - P 7700 DK - SP 7400 Opponent - KC (Jake Junis) Park - KC FD - 31.7 DK - 16.63 If you're looking for someone with low ownership, Miley is your guy. This dude has been absolutely horrendous his last two starts but it's lowered his price tag to these intriguing numbers. Prior to the two worst starts of his season, Miley pitched to a 3.06 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over his first 28 starts. That's the guy we expect to see here, as he gets a stellar matchup against a bad offense. In fact, Kansas City currently ranks 27th in runs scored, 26th in OBP and 27th in OPS. That's why Miley and the Astros enter this matchup as a -230 favorite. We also like Jose Berrios opposing Shane Bieber as well. Catcher/First Base Freddie Freeman FD - 1B 3700 DK - 1B 4900 Opponent - WSH (Anibal Sanchez) Park - WSH FD - 13.31 DK - 10.09 Many people aren't really considering Freeman as an NL MVP candidate...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Friday 9/13/19 We have about two weeks left in the regular season and it's time to build some bankroll for the NFL season. There are more amateurs than ever in these contests because of the start of football, so it's imperative to build a lineup and build some cash flow before the season ends. With that in mind, let's get to some of our plays. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD 12000 DK 12200 Opponent - KC (Danny Duffy) Park - KCFD - 50.27 DK - 28.59 I mean, how can we fade Cole on this slate? This dude is probably the best pitcher in the Majors right now and we simply can't avoid him in such a stellar matchup. Let's start with that matchup, with the Royals ranked 28th in runs scored, 25th in OBP, 27th in OPS and 24th in wOBA. That's a disaster when you see Cole's statistics, with the right-hander pitching to a 2.73 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 2.51 xFIP and 39.4 percent K rate so far this season. That doesn't even take into consideration that he has at least 14 Ks in three straight starts. Not to mention, Cole and the Astros enter this matchup as a -400 favorite. Jon Lester FD 7100 DK 8300 Opponent - PIT (Steven Brault) Park - PITFD - 32.37 DK - 16.58 Lester is not the sort of guy I like to trust for fantasy purposes but we always like to exploit the Pirates against a lefty. The reason for that is because Pittsburgh ranks bottom-five in runs scored, OBP and OPS against left-handed pitching. That's evident by the fact that Lester has allowed just two runs in 14.2 innings against the Buccos, throwing a six-inning shutout about a month ago in his most recent start. He's been showing promising signs recently too, scoring at least 32 FanDuel points in 10 of his last 18 starts. Lester is typically risky but a matchup like this limits that volatility, especially when he and the Cubs are a projected as a -220 favorite. Catcher/First Base Eric Hosmer FD 3600 DK 4700 Opponent - COL (Jeff Hoffman) Park - COLFD - 13.81 DK - 10.58 Hosmer is not really the sort of guy I like to use for DFS but anyone is in play at Coors Field. That alone makes Hosmer intriguing but this matchup makes him a great play. Let's start with his opposition, with Jeff Hoffman pitching to a 7.06 ERA and...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Tuesday 9/10/19 Only a few more weeks of the season, but we have another one of those nonsense, crazy over/unders in Coors to deal with on Wednesday. But there's also an expensive ace hitting the mound as well. Let's roll through a big day in MLB action.

If you hate the Rockies or Cardinals, you're mot going to like this article. We have a game being played in Coors Field and these are the two clubs who benefit from that little league field. It should cause some fireworks and we'll do our best to offer up some value plays to mix in with all of these Coors Field bats. Pitchers Walker Buehler FD 11600 DK 12300 Opponent - BAL (Ty Blach) Park - BALFD - 41.04 DK - 23.09 It's going to be tough to fade Buehler. seeing as how he's been one of the best pitchers in the NL and gets a superb matchup against the Orioles. Let's start with that matchup, as Baltimore currently ranks 24th in runs scored, 26th in OBP and 25th in OPS. That's really scary against a guy like Buehler, with the right-hander pitching to a 3.28 ERA and 1.04 WHIP this season while striking out 190 batters across 159.1 innings. That's why he and the Dodgers enter this matchup as a -315 favorite. Zack Wheeler FD 8300 DK 10000 Opponent - ARI (Zac Gallen) Park - ARIFD - 34.18 DK - 17.91 While it's tough to use Wheeler on DK as a five-figure player, I absolutely love his $8,000 price tag on FanDuel. That's way too cheap for a guy with a 3.68 FIP and 23 percent K rate. That's really all you can ask for in a place like Citi Field, with that ballpark ranking as one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in the league. We're really not scared of Arizona either, as they rank 20th in both OBP and OPS against right-handed pitching. Vegas likes Wheeler too, making him a -135 favorite in this fixture with the D'Backs projected for fewer than four runs. It's hard to overlook Chase Anderson (FD $6300 DK $6000) at a dirt-cheap price against a putrid Miami lineup in a spacious stadium like Marlins Park. Catcher/First Base Daniel Murphy FD 3500 DK 4700 Opponent - STL (Michael Wacha) Park - STLFD - 13.14 DK - 10.09 This is the first of numerous Rockies and it's going to be tough to fade these...
