Hope to see you there!   Long Ball Targets (All stats on the charts are since 2014) (Stats talked about in the write-up are this years stats) Alex Rodriguez FD 3400 DK 3800 Opponent - DET (Pelfrey) Park - @NYYFD - 10.59 DK - 8.13 I know I know -- A-Rod is no longer is his prime and will be 41 at the end of July, but he still has some pop in that bat! A .222 AVG and .297 wOBA is not ideal when constructing a lineup, but he does sport a .207 ISO. He isn't hitting for a high average and is striking out over 30% of the time, but were talking about dingers for crying out loud; not base hits. Kent Murphy once said, "Dingers win ballgames, not basehits." So don't worry about his low AVG and wOBA (This applies to DFS as well and even life). So -- don't underestimate the old man. Mike Pelfrey is "atrocious," Doug Norrie said on today's podcast. (I think he was being nice). And I have to agree with the Co-founder of DFSR (not because he's my boss). Pelfrey is a guy that gets pounded by lefties and righties, and pitching at Yankee Stadium will only make things worse. He owns a 5.35 xFIP to go along with a 32.8% hard contact rate. A-Rod is in the perfect position to do some damage, which puts the 41-year-old at the top of my long ball list. He's a great tournament play...

Hope to see you there!   Long Ball Targets (All stats on the charts are since 2014) (Stats talked about in the write-up are this years stats) Nolan Arenado FD 4500 DK 5300 Opponent - PIT (Locke) Park - @COLFD - 13.24 DK - 10.26 My Early slate "long ball" call of the day belongs to Nolan Arenado. I mean what can I say -- not only will he be going up against a southpaw in Jeff Locke, but this game will also be taking place at Coors Field (hitters paradise). Rather than giving stats on Coors Field, I will break down Arenado and his matchup. On the year, Arenado owns a .431 wOBA to go along with a .333 ISO against left-handed pitchers. He is a guy that hits for a ton of power, and playing at home will only help his cause. A matchup against Locke, is the icing to the cake. Locke owns a 5.13 FIP and 1.34 HR/9. He tends to give up an occasional long ball and his FIP suggests that he's not a very good pitcher. Look for Arenado to hit one into the stands. FYI: Right-handed hitters own a .347 wOBA and .472 SLG against Locke this season. Stephen Piscotty FD 3800 DK 4800 Opponent - CIN (Finnegan) Park - @CINFD - 10.62 DK - 8.48 My Main Slate "long ball" call of the day belongs to Stephen Piscotty. Piscotty will be going up against Brandon Finnegan who has been up-and-down all season...

Daily Fantasy MLB Pitcher Breakdown FanDuel and DraftKings- 6/7/16 Welcome to our new daily article breaking down some of the other pitching targets on this slate.

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Kyle Hendricks and Zack Greinke in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Michael Pineda FD 7500 DK 6000 Opponent - LAA (Tropeano) Park - @NYY FD - 28.18 DK - 14.15 Tonight is one of those nights where you will find a lot of great stacking options, but not many pitching options. I will be targeting a couple of tournament pitchers in this article that I will have some exposure to on this slate (I won't have all my marbles in one basket tonight like I did with Jon Lester last night). My first tournament play of the day belongs to Michael Pineda (limit your exposure please). Pineda has a 6.41 ERA and that will scare many people away from him. Can you blame people for doing that? I know I can't. The good news is that he's much better than his ERA suggests as he owns a 3.45 xFIP. Believe it or not, Pineda also has some upside of his own. He is coming into this contest sporting a 24.7 K% and 5.5 BB%. He is fanning hitters at a high rate and is also limiting the walks. His peripherals look good and I love his price tag around the industry. A matchup against the Angels does not give Pineda a ton of upside (15.6 K%), but you can't complain -- he's very cheap! He is a tournament only play for me, as pitching at Yankees Park isn't ideal for any pitcher, and Pineda has been inconsistent this season....

Haha. I'm looking to bounce back tonight and it all starts with George Springer. Cole Hamels isn't a guy you normally pick on (especially with a 15-game slate on our hands), but I love this matchup for Mr.Springer. I'm going to start off by saying that Cole Hamels has allowed a total of 13 home runs on the year (not a typo), and 11 of those have come against right-handed hitters. He has had his troubles keeping the ball in the ballpark, and pitching at Arlington won't help him much tonight. Springer and his .256 ISO/.445 wOBA against left-handed pitchers are in the perfect situation to have a monster night. Not only does Springer devour southpaws, but he is also coming into this contest on fire! He owns a .472 wOBA, .678 SLG and 205 wRC+ in his last 14 games.There is nothing better than rostering a guy who is on fire and has a platoon advantage. Have yourself a night, Springer. Marcell Ozuna FD 3300 DK 4400 Opponent - MIN (Dean) Park...

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 (Hitter stats provided are vs. the handiness of the pitcher they are facing) St. Louis Cardinals vs. John Lamb (CIN) A lot of stacking options on tonight's slate, but one of the more affordable, under-owned stacks of the night will be the Cardinals. They aren't going to blow you away with power, but they sure know to score runs in bunches and hit for contact. They will be going up against southpaw John Lamb, who owns a 5.58 ERA that is backed up by a 5.62 xFIP. He is also getting hit hard, as opponents have a 39.1% hard hit rate against him. His peripherals are not appealing at all, so I expect for the Cardinals to do some serious damage against the southpaw. They might not hit a ton of homers in this contest, but I'm still expecting them to score a lot of runs. Some of the guys that I am looking to stack are: Stephen Piscotty (.513 wOBA), Matt Carpenter (.351 wOBA), Matt Holliday (.148 ISO) and Aledmys Diaz (.327 wOBA). Milwaukee Brewers vs. Sean Manaea (SEA)...
