Pitchers Aaron Nola FD 8800 DK 9300 Opponent - COL (Ryan Feltner) Park - COLFD - 44 DK - 24.2 Nola comes into Sunday as a huge favorite against the Colorado Rockies. The Phillies are -260 at home and have a relatively easy matchup hear against one of the worst road offenses in the league. Nola is better than the 4.57 ERA would suggest with the xFIP sitting more than a run lower at 3.44. He is striking out about 11 batters per nine on the season with a 5.5:1 K:BB ratio pointing to a very efficient arm. He’s just run bad on the strand rate and the HR/FB which is driving the ERA up. That shouldn’t be an issue against the Rockies. Lance McCullers Jr. FD 9000 DK 10100 Opponent - LAA (Jaime Barria) Park - LAAFD - 38.76 DK - 21.57 McCullers is a -235 home favorite against the Angels on Sunday with the latter featuring about one scary bat in the whole lineup (Ohtani). The rest of the group is about as pedestrian as it gets and McCullers should have an easy time here. He’s striking out hitters at a 27% rate this season through the 4.36 BB/9 rate is still something of an issue. He isn’t quite as good as the 3.19 ERA would suggest with the xFIP sitting at 3.72, but this is still such a good spot. I like him a bit better on FanDuel, but he still slots as a DraftKings SP2. Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD 4500 DK 6200 Opponent - BAL (Zac Lowther) Park - BALFD - 15.67 DK - 11.88 He is the highest projected bat on the slate and for good reason. For starters, the Blue Jays has a 6.4 implied run line coming into the game which is about as high as you’ll ever see in a major league contest. And Vlad is about as good a hitter as you’ll see with a 1.007 OPS on the season thanks to 42 home runs and a .407 OBP. He’s just awesome. You are paying for it at this point for sure, but he is worth it. Yuli Gurriel FD 2900 DK 5500 Opponent - LAA (Jaime Barria) Park - LAAFD - 13.97 DK - 10.72 Jamie Barria has been just terrible this season and the Astros are in a good spot on Sunday. The former is...

Hope to see you there!   Long Ball Targets Rougned Odor FD 3400 DK 4900 Opponent - NYY (Nova) Park - @NYYFD - 9.51 DK - 7.68 First on the list we got, Rougned Odor! I know he is most famous for punching Jose Bautista, but this kid has some power (not just with his punches, but with his bat as well). This season he sports a .216 ISO against right-handed pitchers. Not only do I like his power, but I also like that he will be going up against Ivan Nova. Nova has had a rough going in 2016. He is coming into this contest with an ERA over five and a 1.42 HR/9 rate. I know he's a ground ball pitcher, but he's struggled keeping the ball low in the zone which has hurt him a ton. Look for Odor to have himself a day going up against the struggling righty. This game will take place at Yankee Stadium, so look for Odor to take advantage of the short right field porch. Evan Longoria FD 3600 DK 4700 Opponent - BOS (Rodriguez) Park - @TBFD - 10.51 DK - 8.07v It's Longo Dong Day ladies and gentlemen! I'm all over the Rays today as they crush lefties and will be going up against streaky southpaw, Eduardo Rodriguez. Let's start off by talking about Longo. On the year, he owns a .354 wOBA to go along with a .255 ISO. It's safe to say the Longoria we were all accustomed to...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jeff Samardzija and Jake Arrieta in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Trevor Bauer FD 8900 DK 12800 Opponent - ATL (Gant) Park - @ATLFD - 33.85 DK - 18.35 Trevor Bauer started the year off in the bullpen, but when his number was called upon to become join the rotation, he has proven to his teammates and coaches that he should stick in the rotation. He is coming into tonight's contest sporting a 3.20 ERA to go along with a 3.28 FIP. This kid has been everything the Indians had hoped for and more. The one thing I love the most about this kid is his upside. He owns a 22.8 K% to go along with a 7.8 BB%. He has been able to limit the walks (compared to his career), which has helped him not only as a starter, but also as a reliable fantasy option. He will be going up against the Braves today, which is always a good thing, but also a bad thing. The good: The Braves own a .286 wOBA and (29th in MLB) and .096 ISO (30th in MLB) against right-handed pitchers. That sounds like an amazing matchup, so what exactly is the bad? The bad is: The Braves don't K a lot. They own a 19.2 K%, which will take a hit at Bauer's upside. The matchup is a thing of beauty and the Indians' bats are on fire, so I like his chances of picking up the W and delivering a quality start. Go ahead...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Stacking in DFS MLB is such an important concept if you’re looking to take down a big tournament on FanDuel or DraftKings. It’s also a good way to diversify cash games because the variance in baseball can mean wild swings (ahem) in the scoring on a particular slate. The concept is easy. You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good. Stack Targets Colorado Rockies vs. Marco Estrada(TOR) Looks like we got a game at Coors (yippee). And to make things better -- it's on my favorite day of the week. I gotta say, there is nothing better than a Monday slate that involves Coors Field. Alright enough with the sarcasm, let's get to business. Coors is always in play, but if I had to pick between the Blue Jays and the Rockies; I'd go with the Rockies. I have created a list just for you guys on why I prefer a Rockies stack: 1. The Rockies own a .347 wOBA (3rd in MLB) and .199 ISO (2nd in MLB) against right-handed pitchers. They crush righties on a day-to-day basis and we all know what happens when they're playing at home. 2. Marco Estrada is not as good as you think he is. Yeah he's got a good-looking .270 ERA, but his FIP and xFIP are over 4. He is due for regression. Plus his BABIP is at .183. He is going to hit reality very soon. By very soon, I mean tonight. 3....

You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good. Team Stack Targets A note on the Coors game Normally we'd try to emphasize other stacks than the very most obvious one, but today is something of an exception. This game has a total of 12.5, which is a full 2.5 runs higher than the next two highest games. That's... ridiculous. Now, the Coors game is obviously not a favorite against the field to have the individually highest scoring game, so you may want to do a bit of bobbing and weaving in big tournaments. Still, this game is by far the most likely game to produce the highest scoring team if you pair it up against any other game individually. It's a clear target for cash games, and a reasonable target even as the chalk play in big tournaments. Still, there are some other teams that are on my radar today as well. Cincinnati Reds against Luis Perdomo Fantastic hitter's park and a lousy pitcher, need I say more? Oh man, I feel sick even having said "need I say more." I'll go ahead and say more. If you're not familiar with the work of Luis Perdomo, consider yourself lucky. Perdomo was a rule 5 pick-up from the Cardinals' minor league system who had never pitched above A+ ball in the minors. They plied him to modest success as a reliever, and then pressed...
