This is a service announcement from your favorite fantasy site and it's simply impossible to fade this game. We have a total approaching 14 runs in that game and it's actually one of the highest totals I can ever remember seeing. Building around this game is going to be critical and it should make for a fascinating slate. Pitchers Andrew Heaney FD - P 8200 DK - SP 9800 Opponent - TEX (Mike Minor) Park - LAAFD - 29.79 DK - 15.64 Heaney has been wildly inconsistent throughout his career but a 14-strikeout gem in his last start shows just how dangerous he can be. That start happened to come against these Rangers and that's really no surprise when you see that they rank 29th in K rate and 24th in OBP against left-handers. That K-upside makes this FanDuel price truly mind-blowing, particularly after collecting 73 FD points against this team in his most recent start. Heaney has actually faced the Astros and Red Sox three times over his last five games, pitching to a 2.89 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 10.9 K/9 rate in that impressive five-game span. Patrick Corbin FD - P 10000 DK - SP 11200 Opponent - BAL (Aaron Brooks) Park - WSHFD - 42.71 DK - 23.58 Corbin is probably the best cash game pitcher available. The reason for that is because he gets such a premium matchup against the Orioles. In fact, Baltimore currently ranks 19th in K rate, 25th in runs scored, 26th in xwOBA and 25th in OPS. That's scary against a pitcher like this, with Corbin generating a 29 percent K rate en route to a 3.17 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. That's why he and the Nationals enter this game as a -330 favorite. playing some of the best baseball in the Majors right now. Catcher/First Base Matt Adams FD - 1B 2800 DK - 1B 4500 Opponent - BAL (Aaron Brooks) Park - WSHFD - 13.8 DK - 10.41 We have the Red Sox playing in Coors Field and you're going to start with a Washington bat? While the Colorado-Boston game might be the highest projected scoreline, the Nationals are actually one of the best stacks on the board. The reason for that is because they face Aaron Brooks, who's pitching to a 6.21 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. That's pretty much on...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Sunday 8/25/19 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! We've been killing it with our picks recently and we're hoping to keep that momentum going here. Sundays are always tricky though because it's a great day to rest your studs after a long week. That does open up value though and it'll be critical to monitor lineup developments as they're released. Pitchers Stephen Strasburg FD 10100 DK 11300 Opponent - CHC (Cole Hamels) Park - CHCFD - 36.87 DK - 20.35 While this is a tough matchup, it's really tough to fade Strasburg the way he's pitching right now. A 3.65 ERA and 1.08 WHIP speak for itself, but he's actually probably even been better than those numbers suggest, with a 3.34 xFIP and 29 percent K rate. Those elite peripherals tell us that he's been slightly unlucky this season and he's truly in the mix for an NL Cy Young with his stellar numbers. It's not like the Cubs are the scariest matchup either, with Chicago ranked 19th in K rate, 14th in runs scored and 15th in xwOBA. That doesn't even take into consideration that Wrigley Field ranks in the bottom-5 in park factor, making it one of the best parks to pitch in. Aaron Nola FD 10700 DK 11000 Opponent - MIA (Elieser Hernandez) Park - MIAFD - 38.19 DK - 20.82 This play is pretty simple. Any time you get an elite pitcher facing the Marlins, you use them! Nola is just that, as he's recaptured his All-Star form since the opening months. Over his last 12 starts, Nola is pitching to a 2.13 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 rate. Those are shocking numbers from a player whose prices has never recovered, particularly in such a tasty matchup. In fact, the Marlins currently rank either 29th or dead-last in runs scored, OBP, OPS and xwOBA. That was evident when Nola pitched eight one-run innings in his last start against Miami while striking out 10 batters. Not to mention, Nola enters this matchup as a projected -200 favorite. Catcher/First Base Josh VanMeter FD 2700 DK 4000 Opponent - PIT (Dario Agrazal) Park - PITFD - 10.06 DK - 7.71 While I'd rather use VanMeter at second base on DraftKings, this $2,700 price on FanDuel is absolutely ridiculous. This dude has been raking since being recalled from the minors and it's really no surprise when you see his Triple-A numbers. At that level this season, JVM provided a .429 OBP,...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! It's very rare that we don't get a full 15-game slate on a Friday but that's the case here. We still do have 13 games in the night slate though and that is still a good amount to play DFS. What's interesting about this slate is that we have the Astros facing one of the worst lefties in the league. That means many of these guys will find their way into this article and we'll do our best to pair them with value plays. Pitchers Jose Berrios FD - P 8900 DK - SP 10000 Opponent - DET (Matthew Boyd) Park - MIN FD - 39.48 DK - 21.08 Wow, this Berrios FanDuel price is absolutely fantastic. I was sure that we'd be looking at a five-figure number but we're actually getting quite the discount. A couple of bad starts recently is what's lowered that number but we're still talking about one of the best pitchers around. That's evident by his 3.37 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 8.6 K/9 rate. That pairs beautifully with the fact that he's thrown at least 5,2 innings in 23 of his 25 starts this season and six innings seem like a guarantee against an offense like this. In fact, the Motor City Kitties currently rank bottom-two in runs scored, OBP, OPS, xwOBA and K rate. That's why Berrios and the Twinkies enter this matchup as a -220 favorite. Lance Lynn FD - P 9700 DK - SP 10500 Opponent - CHW (Dylan Cease) Park - CHW FD - 38.31 DK - 20.78 If you would have told me that Lynn was a $10,000 player at the beginning of the year, I would have told you you're crazy. If you would have told me that I would recommend him at this price, I would tell you that you're certifiably insane. We're at that point though and it's far from crazy to say that because of his bounceback season. Over his last 19 starts, Lynn is pitching to a 2.90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 rate. Those are ridiculous numbers in a hitter's haven like Globe Life Park and anytime he gets to pitch on the road, we have to be even more encouraged. All of that puts him in consideration but facing a White Sox team who ranks 28th in runs scored, 27th in OPS, 26th in K rate and 25th in xwOBA makes him one of the best...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Tuesday 8/20/19 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! After a measly nine-game slate on Monday, we're back to a full 15-gamer here. We actually have 16 games in total, with Texas and Los Angeles playing a doubleheader. That always makes things interesting for DFS and it's really annoying considering it's one of the best hitting environments on this slate. Pitchers Cole Hamels FD 7300 DK 7800 Opponent - SF (Tyler Beede) Park - SFFD - 32.77 DK - 16.95 Hamels has really struggled since his return off the IL but we have to like him at this price. Prior to allowing 12 runs in his last two starts, Hamels actually pitched to a 1.07 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in his previous six outings. That shows that the potential is still there and we have to love him against an offense like this. The Giants currently rank 24th in runs scored, 26th in OBP and 27th in OPS and Hamels is likley to enter this matchup as a -150 favorite. Aaron Sanchez FD 8500 DK 6800 Opponent - DET (Spencer Turnbull) Park - DETFD - 35.02 DK - 17.33 While it's tough to recommend Sanchez on FanDuel at $8,500, this $6,800 price tag on DraftKings is impossible to fade. Since joining the Astros, Sanchez has a 4.00 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in five starts while striking out more than a batter per inning. In fact, Sanchez has a 10.3 K/9 rate over his last five starts, despite allowing seven runs to the A's in his last outing. What we like here is this matchup, as he faces a Tigers team who ranks bottom-three in runs scored, OBP, OPS, xwOBA and K rate. That's why Sanchez is likely to enter this game as a -300 favorite, We also like Stephen Strasburg (FD $10000 DK $10400) against a Pirates offense that ranks bottom-half of the league in nearly every offensive statistic. Catcher/First Base Josh VanMeter FD 2600 DK 3900 Opponent - SD (Cal Quantrill) Park - SDFD - 10.13 DK - 7.76 These sites continue to disrespect JVM and it's really hard to understand why. We're talking about a guy who posted a 1.096 OPS at Triple-A this season which isn't far off of his numbers since being recalled. Over his last 28 games, VanMeter is hitting .325 while providing a .563 SLG and .956 OPS. Those numbers make this price tag downright shocking and we're really not scared of Cal Quantrill in a hitter's...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! These next few weeks are monstrous for season-long fantasy owners and it's time to make a move in your leagues. While this is a DFS-centric article, these pieces can help any fantasy owner who needs advice. It just so happens that these articles help me to set my lineup every week and it truly helps breakdown how players are valued in the industry. With that in mind, let's get into this Sunday slate. Pitchers Jack Flaherty FD - P 10700 DK - SP 9700 Opponent - CIN (Alex Wood) Park - CIN FD - 31.75 DK - 17.18 This dude is quietly one of the hottest pitchers in the league right now and it's amazing that he remains low five-figures on both sites. Over his last seven starts, Flaherty is pitching to a 0.79 ERA and 0.73 WHIP while striking out 56 batters across 45.1 innings of action. Those are straight stupid numbers and it definitely puts him in play against an offense who just traded Scooter Gennett and Yasiel Puig. They weren't that good even with those two, ranking 28th in xwOBA this season. That's why the Cardinals enter this matchup as a -170 favorite. Zack Wheeler FD - P 11000 DK - SP 10700 Opponent - KC (Glenn Sparkman) Park - KC FD - 35.35 DK - 19.08 Wheeler's consistency can drive fantasy owners mad but there's simply too much potential in a matchup like this. This is a guy who's scored at least 34 FanDuel points in 13 of his last 21 starts and that shows the sort of ceiling this dude has. A 3.54 FIP and 25 percent K rate further shows just how good Wheeler can be and we expect to see that pitcher in such a premium match-up. Wheeler faces a Royals team who ranks 27th in runs scored, 24th in OBP and 26th in OPS. That's why Kansas City is only projected for four runs with New York entering this game as a -180 favorite. Matthew Boyd has some of the best strikeout stuff in the Majors and faces a Rays team who ranks 25th in K rate. Catcher/First Base Daniel Murphy FD - 1B 3300 DK - 1B 4000 Opponent - MIA (Jordan Yamamoto) Park - COL FD - 16.84 DK - 12.93 These prices are truly shocking. It's not every day that you see a great hitter like this in Coors Field priced so cheaply....
