DFSR's Daily Fantasy MLB Podcast for FanDuel & DraftKings Tuesday 5/15/18 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis are back on the MLB pod discussing Tuesday’s baseball action for FanDuel and DraftKings. After a week off, there’s a lot of catching up to do including an opening discussion about the Supreme Court ruling overturning PASPA and opening the door for states to legalize sports betting. They talk about the possible DFS implications and some broad timelines. Then they get into some baseball with a discussion about the elite level of pitching we’ve seen from Gerrit Cole since moving the Astros. They think his production is relatively sustainable but wonder if this is the best spot against the Angels. They also look at Noah Syndergaard, Masahiro Tanaka, and Nick Pivetta. Finally, the guys look at some possible cheaper stacks like the Phillies and Diamondbacks. All of this and more on a full Tuesday MLB podcast. Be sure to subscribe...

Pitcher Stephen Strasburg FD 10000 DK 13600 Opponent - SD (Tyson Ross) Park - SD FD - 42.52 DK - 23.46 For all intents and purposes, Strasburg is turning in a repeat performance to his 2017 campaign and is basically in line with his career averages. The guy is 10.5 K/9 on lock and walking right about two per nine. He’s just one of the best pitchers in the game and makes for a rather easy cash game call on this short slate of games. The FanDuel price is something of a joke. He’s a -160 favorite against a Padres’ team ranked third to last in wOBA against righty pitching with a 28% K rate. It’s also a pitcher’s park in San Diego and we have the Padres for only 3.1 implied runs (the lowest on the day). All of it lines up for Strasburg to likely be the chalk on Monday. Kyle Hendricks FD 7900 DK 9600 Opponent - MIA (Jarlin Garcia) Park - CHC FD - 35.56 DK - 18.31 Kendricks is merely an average pitcher (maybe slightly above) who walks into an excellent matchup on Monday. The Cubs are -240 favorites (the highest of any team on the slate) against the Marlins who rank dead last in wOBA against righties on the season. It’s easy to see why considering they jettisoned almost all discernible talents over the off-season. Kendricks’ sub 4.00 xFIP and 3:1 K:BB ratio mean he can often limit mistakes and he is averaging more than six innings per start. He’s likely the chalkier SP2 on the slate for DraftKings considering the price and matchup. The tricks part of Wrigley Field is managing the winds, but the gusts are only about 5MPH today and look to be blowing in. Hendricks doesn’t light the world on fire, but this matchup should mitigate some of the risk. Jeff Samardzija FD 6900 DK 8400 Opponent - PHI (Zach Eflin) Park - PHI FD - 30.23...
