We've got you completely covered. Boston Red Sox We have a huge Sunday slate on our hands with a lot of solid offenses to choose from. There are 2 teams with an implied run total over 6. The Yankees and the Red Sox. The Red Sox face off with Parker Bridwell, a young righty without much to showcase. He held a 4.50 FIP in AA last year and won't be around here in the majors much longer. Mike Scioscia has also been very careful with his young starters, so I highly doubt Bridwell lasts more than 3 or 4 innings. He's been just as bad (.400 wOBA) against lefties as righties and I don't think his pitches shown him having big splits. Once you get past Bridwell, you get a bullpen that holds the 24th wOBA on the road. The Red Sox will see bad pitchers all game long and it just comes down to whether they can perform or not. Mookie Betts is the easiest choice of all, hitting leadoff and hitting righties extremely well. After that, the Red Sox have a lot of guys. Pedroia and Bogaerts are very safe, as is Benintendi. Hanley and Moreland are both at first and have lots of HR potential. All in all, they shouldn't be too highly owned and yu can mix this offense up a lot in tournaments. Main Stack - Mookie Betts, Andrew Benintendi, Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts Sneaky Stack - Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, Mitch Moreland, Jackie Bradley New York Yankees The Yankees have been one of the best offenses all year round and they see one of the best match-ups of the entire season. Nick Martinez has been in our lives for a while. He was once a guy we would stack everyone against. He was the worst pitcher in baseball and made a lot of people money. He then improved and became a guy you ignored. At this point, he's somewhere in the middle, though closer to the bad arm he was 5 years ago. He's now allowing a .350 wOBA to righties and a .305 to righties. With a...

We've got you completely covered.   Pitcher Brandon McCarthy FD 8000 DK 7500 Opponent - COL (Marquez) Park - @LAD FD - 31.81 DK - 20.91 This is one of the worst pitching slates of the entire year. In terms of a big slate like this, I can't remember one being this putrid. Even on most tough pitching days, you have a talented guy or two who's simply in a rough match-up. Today, we have a ton of very average arms. From Ariel Miranda to Scott Feldman to Chad Kuhl, there is a lot to ignore. By default, we've ended up on Brandon McCarthy. The Rockies currently hold the days' lowest implied run total at just 3.76 runs. McCarthy is cheap enough to not worry about being forced to pay down elsewhere, while also being expensive enough to not be 40% owned. The Rockies are one of the worst teams on the road in all of the league, sitting with a sad .298 wOBA dating back to 2015. CarGo, Blackmon, and Arenado are obviously all very scary, but the rest of the order strikes out a ton and don't have much upside in Los Angeles. Dodger Stadium is definitely a pitcher friendly park and McCarthy has been phenomenal there over the recent years. With that being said, he can be blown up with ease. This is a very weird slate and one where you may want to avoid cash games as a whole. Julio Teheran FD 8400 DK 7700 Opponent - MIL (Davies) Park - @ATL FD - 27.73 DK - 18.46 Like every other pitcher on this slate, Teheran has a boatload of risk. There is a decent shot the likes of Travis Shaw and Eric Thames do a lot of damage. We just don't have the luxury to take anyone else in this spot. Teheran is a pretty talented arm and he has shown the ability to work deep at home. The Brewers also strikeout the 4th most in the majors, so the upside is certainly there. Teheran is honestly not too tough to figure out. He's always been the same pitcher as he currently is, mightily struggling against lefties all the while dominating right-handers. So far in 2017, he's sporting a .369 wOBA against lefties and a .301...

We've got you completely covered.   New York Yankees I know, very sneaky. The Yankees are going to be a very popular team today and I'm going to be jumping right on that train. Austin Bibens-Dirkx is a horrible pitcher and we're going to see him get destroyed for a few starts. He is currently holding a .180 BABIP, which is just crazy. His BABIP will come up to around .310 and the Yankees should be a big help in the process. They are currently implied to score over 6 runs, which is easily the highest on the slate. There at home in Yankee Stadium, where they have been the 2nd best offense in all of baseball. Once Bibens-Dirkx is out of the game, the Yanks will see a bullpen that leaves a lot to be desired. They and Bibens-Dirkx are moving from Globe Life Park to Yankee Stadium, which is pretty even. It is is a bit smaller for lefties and we could see a few head out to that short porch in right. All in all, there aren't many stats to explain why Bibens-Dirkx is bad. Once that BABIP regulates, everything will be a lot more clear. Until then, keep targeting offenses against him. Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez are obviously locks and have more upside than anyone, even against a righty. You can than go a ton of different ways. The Yankees offense is pretty spread and can produce from a lot of different spots. Main Stack - Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Matt Holliday, Aaron Hicks Sneaky Stack - Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Starlin Castro, Brett Gardner Arizona Diamondbacks The late slate isn't nearly as fruitful from an offensive standpoint as the early one, where we saw 2 teams implied to score around 6. Here, we don't get that. We do see the Phillies head into Chase Field with Edward Lively. Lively has been bad against everyone but especially righties, sporting a .369 wOBA. Lively is very young and he isn't anything special to write home about. If anything, he's the opposite. He won't be around much longer with a 3.17 K/9,...

Corey Kluber is coming in as the top dog for the early slate, with Clayton Kershaw and Lance Lynn repping the main slate. After those 2, there are a few other ways to go. We'll touch on 1 guy in DeGrom who is very safe and 1 in Faria, who we don't know much about. DeGrom has worked himself into the "workhorse" role for this New York Mets team. He's worked 8 and 9 innings over his last 2 and has struck out an impressive 12 batters to just 1 earned run. He has been good all year, but injuries problems are always seeming to linger with DeGrom. He does hold a .320 wOBA against lefties and a .293 against righties, he's as elite as you may have thought. He faces off with the SanFrancisco Giants at home in AT&T Park. AT&T Park is one of the more spacious parks in all of baseball and the Giants themselves don't have much fun with it. In fact, they are the league's worst team against righties and by a very healthy margin. Holding a .271 wOBA and a 72 wRC+, this is one of the weakest Giants teams we have seen. You can target DeGrom in both cash games and tournaments with confidence. This ballpark is huge and the only way DeGrom has a bad game is if he's completely off. Even if he is decent tonight, the park and opposing lineup should save his tail. Jacob Faria FD 8500 DK 8900 Opponent - BAL (Bundy) Park - @TB FD - 30.01 DK - 19.79 I could of went with a Robbie Ray or Jon Lester here, but we know who those guys are and what they bring to the table. Ray can get you either 100 or 0. Don't be surprised either way. Lester is a bit riskier and with...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher EARLY Corey Kluber FD 10800 DK 12600 Opponent - MIN (Gibson) Park - @CLEFD - 41.98 DK - 27.74 In the afternoon slate, the system loves it some Corey Kluber, and it isn't even close. He comes in head and shoulders above the rest of the pack in the early slate in both points per dollar and raw point total projections. He's looking almost Kershawesque at not quite a Kershaw price tag. The comparisons don't exactly stop there either. Ten starts in to the season, and Kluber is striking out nearly 1.5 more batters per 9 than his career totals, which is also a full batter more than Clayton, while his bb/9 (2.34), BABIP (.303), and xFIP (.301) all hover close to Clayton's totals, which we'll touch on momentarily. Cleveland rocks, and they're fully expected to rock the Twins this afternoon as our friends in Vegas have them coming in with an early line of -234. Minnesota isn't terrible at baseball, they have a .323 team wOBA which is slightly above average, and rock a 98 wRC+ which is slightly below average, and strike out 22% of the time against right handers. When you consider all of the other names taking the hill in the afternoon set, paying up for Kluber is looking better and better. Love him for cash games, and while one of those cheaper guys could suprise in a GPP, I wouldn't completely fade away from Kluber there either. Consider: Marco Estrada in the Very early. MAIN Clayton Kershaw FD 12300 DK 12500 Opponent - COL (Chatwood) Park - @LADFD - 45.38 DK - 29.97 On the main slate, well, was there any real doubt? Particularly when you look at the pricing. Clayton's pricing across the industry is the second lowest it has been all season. Aside from two starts in Coors Field, on Fanduel he's only been at this price one other time and on DraftKings He's never been this low. Now, while he may not be the Clayton of old, and Sale and Scherzer have been arguably been having better seasons in regards to xFIP and K's per 9, he is still Clayton Kershaw and this is the express train to bargaintown. Through 15 starts we've constantly shouted...
