Hope to see you there!   Long Ball Targets Kris Bryant FD 4100 DK 4800 Opponent - MIA (Chen) Park - @MIAFD - 11.26 DK - 8.72 Kris Bryant and his .388 wOBA will be going up against southpaw Wei-Yin Chen. Chen has already allowed 14 homers to right-handed bats on the year, so I guess you could say this was an obvious pick for me. Bryant will be playing at spacious Marlins Park today, but he's got plenty of power (.329 ISO vs. lefties) to put one in the stands. This was the formula my crystal ball presented me with today: Kris Bryant (.329 ISO) + Wei-Yin Chen (14 homers to righties) + 39.4 FB% + 37.2% hard contact rate = Kris Bryant dinger! Matt Kemp FD 3700 DK 4900 Opponent - CIN (Lamb) Park - @CINFD - 11.75 DK - 9.2 Everyone has forgotten about Matt Kemp ever since he left L.A. and moved to San Diego, but boy is he devouring lefties. He is coming into this contest with a .447 wOBA, .373 ISO and 1.098 OPS vs. lefties. He is just killing them, and I expect tonight to be no different going up against John Lamb. Lamb owns a 4.75 ERA and 5.17 FIP. He has not had it go his way this season, which is why I will go ahead and roster Kemp. Plus, he will be leaving spacious Petco Park to head to hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark. So yeah, baseball season! And we've got some...

Hope to see you there!   Long Ball Targets Chris Davis FD 4200 DK 5100 Opponent - SD (Johnson) Park - @BALFD - 11.83 DK - 8.81 The crystal ball has spoken -- and this is what it had to say: Crush Davis + Erik Johnson = Dinger. It didn't give me any explanations, it just simply gave me that formula, so I will go ahead and back it up. We all know Chris Davis has tremendous power. This isn't a big secret or anything. He is coming into tonight's contest sporting a .256 ISO vs. right-handers to go along with a .365 wOBA. The best part about this matchup isn't Davis' power vs. righties, but rather Johnson's struggles vs. lefties. On the year, left-handed bats own a .392 wOBA and .646 SLG against Johnson (ouch). They have devoured him this season and moving from spacious Petco Park to hitter-friendly Camden Yards, won't help the 26-year-old. Look for Davis to "Crush" one into the stands. Mark Trumbo FD 3800 DK 4200 Opponent - SD (Johnson) Park - @BALFD - 9.64 DK - 7.36 Sorry, Erik Johnson, I just see you having a rough time moving to a hitter-friendly park. Not only will Chris Davis do yard work, but Mark Trumbo will be joining him as well. I mentioned how bad Johsnon was against lefties, but he's just as bad against righties. On the year, they own .526 wOBA to go along with a .841 SLG. He's only had a few starts...

Daily Fantasy MLB Pitcher Breakdown FanDuel and DraftKings- 6/21/16

Daily Fantasy MLB Pitcher Breakdown FanDuel and DraftKings- 6/21/16 Welcome to our new daily article breaking down some of the other pitching targets on this slate. We covered our system's top value plays in our daily picks article but here we will look at other dudes to consider. Now’s your chance to get DFSR Pro with MLB Optimal Lineups, Projections and Player Cards. Or try a free trial of our base package with projections for every player.

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jose Fernandez, Noah Syndergaard and Corey Kluber in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Sonny Gray FD 8500 DK 6600 Opponent - MIL (Nelson) Park - @OAKFD - 35.65 DK - 18.6 I've been so disappointed with Sonny Gray. I get teary-eyed just hearing his name. I drafted him for my season-long squad and he's been absolutely awful, and I have no idea what to do with him. I am going to give him another shot before I release him and I honestly believe that today is the day he makes all season-long and DFS owners happy. There are three reasons why I love Sonny Gray. Not like, but love. 1. He will be going up against a Brewers squad that owns a 25.7 K% against right-handed pitchers. (Yikes). 2. He is so cheap on DraftKings ($6,600). I love his price tag and upside. 3. Vegas has him as a pretty heavy favorite. Him picking up a W would be huge! This is clearly a tournament only play, but I love the spot he's in to deliver a quality start. Johnny CuetoJohnny Cueto FD 11000 DK 12700 Opponent - PIT (Boscan) Park - @PITFD - 35.24 DK - 18.81 I don't think Cueto has the best of matchups going up against the Pirates, but I do think he's an excellent tournament play. Everyone will forget about Cueto because they will be debating about which pitcher they should take: Jose or Noah? If you're playing a tourney why not go with Cueto? This guy is...

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings- 6/21/16 Welcome to our new daily article breaking down some of the other stacking targets on this slate. We covered our system's top value plays in our daily picks article and pitching breakdown but here we will look at other dudes to consider. Now’s your chance to get DFSR Pro with MLB Optimal Lineups, Projections and Player Cards. Or try a free trial of our base package with projections for every player. While the seasons overlap, you'll get access to our tools for the NBA and NHL as well! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with MLB?

A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. 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 Houston Astros vs. Hector Santiago (LAA) Hector Santiago is either really good or really bad (bad more often times than good), so I'm going to go ahead and stack the Astros. They have a bunch of right-handed bats that smash lefties: Carlos Gomez, Jose Altuve, George Springer and Carlos Correa. All four guys have serious power, which makes them a great stack for tournaments. Hector Santiago has just been bad this season. His ERA and FIP are well over 5 to go along with a 1.73 HR/9. Now you see why I love the Astros tonight? Santiago isn't a pitcher that keeps the ball on the ground, which is why he is always in trouble. And with all the power this Astros lineup has, I see him in trouble yet again. The Astros are my top stack of the night. N.Y. Yankees vs. Chad Bettis(COL) There is some good news and some bad new for the right-hander. So let's start with the good news -- which is that this game will not take place at Coors Field. So what exactly...

Daily Fantasy Baseball News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – 6/20/16

Posted by on Jun 20, 2016 in Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks, featured, News | 5 comments

Daily Fantasy Baseball News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/20/16 Welcome to the daily MLB updates and news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock today. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the batting lineup changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Personnel Christian Yelich is getting a breather today against southpaw Jorge De La Rosa. Ichiro will hit leadoff and play left field. David Peralta will be heading to the 15-day DL, yet again. Sorates Brito has been called up. Dustin Pedroia is out of the lineup on Monday. Marco Hernandez will take his place at 2nd. Matt Duffy is out of the lineup on Monday. Denard Span is out of the lineup on Monday. Angel Pagan will hit leadoff. Top Tournament Stacks Mariners They Mariners be going up against right-hander Mike Pelfrey, who has just been awful this season. I'm going to start off by saying that he owns a 4.79 ERA that is backed up by a 5.37 SIERA. I honestly didn't think there could be regression for the right-hander, but apparently there is some heading his way (guess it's going to get even uglier for Pelfrey). He also owns a 1.70 WHIP and 1.6 K-BB%. It's been an ugly year for the 32-year-old, so stacking the Mariners is the way to go. Not only is the matchup a thing of beauty for Seattle bats, but they are also great offensively against right-handers. On the year, they own a 115 wRC+ (3rd in MLB), .338 wOBA (5th in MLB) and .183 ISO (8th in MLB). These guys have the ability to hit for power and score runs in bunches, so look for the to have a big night. Giants The Giants will be going up against southpaw Jeff Locke, which puts the Giants' struggling offense in a great position. From reading peoples comments on our articles, a lot more people are on the Giants than I anticipated. And people should be on them, they are in a great position to succeed and will be going up against Locke, who's periphials are not pretty. He is entering this contest sporting an ERA, FIP, xFIP and SIERA well over five. He also...
