Pitcher Early Chris Sale FD 11300 DK 13500 Opponent - BAL (Andrew Cashner) Park - BAL FD - 45.84 DK - 25.92 Simply put, he’s still way too cheap on FanDuel. At under $12K there really isn’t much of a decision there for a guy with Sale’s numbers. He’s been masterful again this season with more than 12 strikeouts per nine, a little north of two walks and a 2.77 xFIP. He’s basically just running bad on wins which I suppose is what’s keeping the FanDuel price on the lower end for him. It’s a closer decision I suppose on DraftKings, though he’s so much better than the rest of the field that I think for cash games you pay up and just try to find the savings elsewhere. He gets a dream matchup against the Orioles who rank second to last in wOBA against lefties this season and strike out about 23% of the time. The Orioles do feature a lot of righty bats down the lineup, but man have they been bad this season. Sale enters the game as a huge -225 road favorite with the Orioles in the low 3’s of implied runs. He’s a pretty easy decision for the early slate. Strongly consider Garrett Richards in that SP2 slot on DraftKings for the early slate. He’s been wild for sure, but the strikeouts are there and he’s going in a good pitcher’s park against the Mariners. Main Trevor Bauer FD 10200 DK 11500 Opponent - CHW (Dylan Covey) Park - CHW FD - 40.67 DK - 21.77 Bauer has made strides basically every year since being brought up in 2014 and this season he’s putting up his best numbers yet. He’s worked up to a 30% K% while keeping the walks relatively in check at 8%. His 3.15 xFIP is nearly a run lower than his career average and I suppose some of this season’s spike in strikeouts can be attributed to Bauer suddenly finding an effective slider. That pitch has opponents chasing out of the zone much more with the O-swing% up to a career-high...

DFS MLB Podcast for Tuesday 6/12/18 - FanDuel and DraftKings DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday podcast discussing a full slate of MLB action for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a tough day on DraftKings for pitching considering the top options are all very, very expensive and the cheaper guys have a ton of question marks. The look at the merits of Aaron Nola, Lance McCullers, Miles Mikolas and Mike Foltynewicz on FanDuel but on DraftKings all expect McCullers are coming in around the $12K range. That makes for a tough sell considering their respective peripherals. On offense, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of bad pitching taking the mound. The guys try to wade through some of the stacks to find the best values. Be sure to subscribe...

Daily Fantasy MLB Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 6/11/18

Posted by on Jun 10, 2018 in Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks, featured, News | 5 comments

Daily Fantasy MLB Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/11/18 We’ve got an eight-game schedule for Monday in baseball with offenses in some good spots against bad pitching. Plus we've got some upside arms coming on the cheaper side. It's all lining up for a solid day in baseball on FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB optimizer and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with MLB? Be sure to read our free MLB Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Jack Flaherty FD 7700 DK 8300 Opponent - SD (Jordan Lyles) Park - STL FD - 38.59 DK - 20.23 Last game, Flaherty had a fantastic matchup against the Marlins ruined when he allowed six runs (four earned) in five innings. To me, this doesn’t look like anything more than a blip on the radar. He still struck out more than a batter an inning and limited the walks to only one. The Marlins are a bottom-feeding offense and things just went a little sideways. The Padres are right with them with a 26% strikeout rate and .290 wOBA (3rd worst in the league) against righties this season. Flaherty has been having a fantastic rookie campaign with more than a strikeout per inning and a respectable 3.57 xFIP. He comes in as the second-best money line favorite on the day at -185 with the Padres at only 3.6 implied runs. I still think he’s completely underpriced on both sites with the FanDuel price particularly intriguing because it allows the ability to fit just about any offensive stack you want. Madison Bumgarner FD 8800 DK 10400 Opponent - MIA (Wei-Yin Chen) Park - MIA FD - 39.29 DK - 20.99 Bumgarner returned from an extended DL stint last week after missing the first two months of the season with an arm issue. He threw 82 pitches with the Giants taking it slowly with their lefty ace. He was efficient, if unspectacular against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs in six innings while striking out four. That he was able to go six innings in so few pitches was a lot about him not allowing any walks and getting a ton of ground balls. He’ll get a fantastic matchup on Monday, facing a Marlins’ team ranked 23rd in the league against lefties this season with a 21% strikeout rate. He’s a solid -165 favorite (3rd best of the day) and since coming back from the DL is priced way down in the middle salary tier. The velocity in his...

For the evening run of action, the guys discuss the mispricing of Shohei Ohtani on FanDuel as well as some of the higher upside arms like Jon Gray and Jack Flaherty coming cheaper as well in good matchups. Finally, there are a whole host of terrible pitchers taking the mound to stack against.
