We've got you completely covered. Carlos Carrasco FD 8700 DK 11800 Opponent - KC (Duffy) Park - @CLE FD - 34.04 DK - 22.5 In the main picks article, Jerry touch on 3 very viable guys. They remain my 3 favorite and I will have most of my exposure to them. After that top tier, we do have to dig a little bit. While Carrasco is a fantastic pitcher and he can throw a CGSO anytime, this isn't the perfect match-up. The Royals don't strike out a lot and they hit a lot better on the road. With that being said, this is still Carlos Carrasco pitching at home against an average offense. He's also struck out 26 in his last 3 games, so he can get K's' against these guys. He just might not get 10 or 11 like he does against the Rays or Orioles. All in all, I see Carrasco as a solid, yet underwhelming option. If I'm going to pay the price, I prefer Archer and Darvish. If you want to get crazy in tournaments, Carrasco does give you the upside. This just might not be the right night. Tanner Roark FD 7800 DK 7800 Opponent - NYM (Milone) Park - @WSH FD - 30.49 DK - 20.12 This one just comes down to the match-up. After the big 3 and Carrasco, pitching is an absolute mess. When trying to figure out who to put here, guys like Patrick Corbin and Charlie Moton almost made it, so that tells you how we're looking. I decided to go with Tanner Roark, who is facing off with the pitiful New York Mets. The Mets, who only have 3 players left from opening day, are what we call a dumpster fire. Or maybe the entire landfill. This Mets lineup is porous as can be and a veteran like Roark should have no problem working through it. Nationals Park is spacious and just about the same as Citi Field. The Mets current hitters strikeout 26% of the time and hold a .301 wOBA against righties, coming in 2nd worst in the last 30 days. Roark...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Chris Archer FD 10100 DK 12300 Opponent - STL (Lynn) Park - @STLFD - 34.69 DK - 23.12 Welcome friends to Sunday DFS in the MLB. We've got a full day of action with 11 games starting early and four late afternoon contests. We're going to start things off with Chris Archer in St. Louis for the interleague series wrap up with the Cardinals. Archer is a name we don't always consider when talking about the great arms of today's game, in an era with Kershaw, Sale, and Scherzer, he has the stuff to be one of the better pitcher's in the game, but struggles from time to time and it's reflected in his 3.76 ERA and .319 BABIP. What Archer does have that suits our purposes is elite K upside. His 11.33 K/9 is the fourth best in the game and the best going today by far. The Cardinals are a top ten team in terms of wOBA and strike out a league average 21.6% of the time. This game opened as a pick'em so there's no guarantee of a win, but looking down the list of pitchers there's not a whole lot to love from a safety standpoint, so I'll take the K upside all day with Archer. Dan Straily FD 7900 DK 8000 Opponent - SD (Richard) Park - @MIAFD - 32.68 DK - 21.6 At SP2 I'm looking to Dan Strailey whose matchup with the Padres has him as a mid tiered arm with solid point per dollar upside due to their propensity to strikeout 25.3% of the time, second only to the Brewers, and .300 team wOBA which is second worst only to the Giants. Strailey doesn't fill me with confidence, his ERA is higher than Archer's, but on any given day the Padres can make anyone look like Cy Young. As I said, there isn't a whole lot to love about pitching today, it definitely has the feel of a GPP only kind of day, but if you are looking for cash plays in the early going this is where I'm leaning. Yu Darvish FD 9800 DK 13300 Opponent - MIL (Nelson) Park - @LADFD - 40.02 DK - 26.34 In the late afternoon we...

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 8/26/17 Here's where you can find some recommendations for GPP stacks to target for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We've got you completely covered. New York Yankees This early slate has a few offenses to target, but the Yankees are undoubtedly my favorite. They face off with the worst pitcher in Yovani Gallardo and have the most potent offense. Gallardo has struggled against both sides of the plate this year, but is a lot worse against righties. Through 57 innings, he's given up a .372 wOBA and 13 home runs. Both Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge should have a lot of fun here and are the 2 guys you can't leave off of a Yankees stack. After the duo, you can really go anywhere. Aaron Hicks and Didi Gregorius hit lefties and righties well, so you won't have to worry about who's coming out of the pen. Towards the bottom of the order, you get some power bats in Todd Frazier and Chase Headley. Starlin Castro just came off the DL as well, so keep an eye out for him in the lineup. Vegas has the Yanks slated at 5.55 runs, so you're going to want exposure in both cash games and tournaments. Main Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Didi Gregorious Snaky Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Chase Headley, Todd Frazier Cleveland Indians This late slate is one I don't love for stacking. While we have plenty of offenses to target, I think a balanced approach may be the way to go. With that being said, the Indians are the top offense on the board. They face off with Jason Hammel, at home in Progressive Field. Hammel isn't the worst pitcher in the world, but he also isn't very good. A lot of his numbers are held up by Kauffmann Stadium and the insane spacious outfield. The move to Progressive Field will be tough on Hammel and I expect this Indians offense will nickel and dime him to death. You then run into guys like Edwin Encarnacion and Carlos Santana, who can hit it a mile. The stack has plenty of upside and I really don't think it will be over 15% owned. The Royals pen is...

Kyle Hendricks FD 8000 DK 9700 Opponent - PHI (Lively) Park - @PHI FD - 32.84 DK - 21.55 We have 2 different slates here and both of them have a lot of interesting options. Jerry touched on 2 guys from the early slate, so you're covered there. He also touched on Mike Clevinger and Madison Bumgarner from this main slate, While those are definitely the guys you want to look at, we have 2 solid pivots in Kyle Hendricks and Brad Peacock. Starting with Hendricks, he's very safe. On a slate like this, there is nothing more valuable. He'll definitely give up a couple runs in most starts, but typically figures it out and goes a minimum of 6 or 7 innings. The Phillies are one of the weakest offenses in the entire league and have backed it up with a .306 wOBA against righties. They strikeout almost 2% of the time and don't offer much in terms of stacking up runs. They do have some power swingers like Rhys Hoskins, Maikel Franco, and Tommy Joseph, that guys will K 8 times every time they HR. I'm willing to sacrifice a possible HR or two, that will probably be solo. Hendricks is going to get it done in cash games and he won't hurt you in tournaments. On a slate without much to offer, Hendricks is a solid way to go. Brad Peacock FD 8400 DK 10900 Opponent - LAA (Skaggs) Park - @LAA FD - 31.22 DK - 20.68 Full disclosure, you won't find Brad Peacock under my name today. Clevinger, Bumgarner, and Hendricks are the 3 guys I will be riding in both cash games and tournaments. With that being said, there is no arguing the merit Peacock has in tournaments. First things first, he's pretty good. He's given up a .272 combined wOBA and has struck out over 11 batters per 9 in the process. He heavily leans on his slider against righties and his change against lefties, while also throwing a 95 MPH cutter. This slate is full of so-so pitches, so getting your...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Early Gio Gonzalez FD 9500 DK 12500 Opponent - NYM (Gsellman) Park - @WSHFD - 34.31 DK - 22.49 We kick things off with Gio Gonzalez, though somewhat reluctantly. Not so much on FanDuel, I'm fine with Gio carrying a sub 10K price tag over there, but the season high 12.5 on DraftKings is a hard pill to swallow. Given the slate though, it's all but unavoidable. We need two pitchers, and Gio is in the best position facing the Mets, who have the lowest implied run total on the early slate and who have struck out 24.6% of the time against lefties this season. While not an ideal pitching environment, Nationals Park is the second best option on the slate behind the Rogers Centre and we'll be heading there next but for SP1 on the early, I think we have to just ride with Gonzalez and hold on tight. Marco Estrada FD 7700 DK 6900 Opponent - MIN (Gee) Park - @TORFD - 29.76 DK - 19.78 Even with the price tag Gonzalez comes with, I think we can lock him in without sacrificing too much in the way of bats by balancing out our pitching with Marco Estrada. Estrada is an excellent value option across the industry, with solid K upside, his 9.1 K/9 is higher than even Gio's, and as I mentioned earlier, he is on the best hill for pitching in a slate overrun with hitters parks. Estrada is an excellent GPP pivot on FanDuel, and also leaves $3,825 per batter on DraftKings when paired with Gonzalez, which isn't a ton but definitely gives us some wiggle room. Main Mike Clevinger FD 8200 DK 6700 Opponent - KC (Hammel) Park - @CLEFD - 27.76 DK - 18.42 On the main slate, we're going to look at a couple of pitchers that are ranked quite similarly in the system. Madison Bumgarner edges out Mike Clevinger in projected points, but I'm leading off with Clevinger because he comes at a substantial discount which gives him the points per dollar edge. Clevinger also has a higher K/9 than MadBum and is a bigger favorite in his matchup with the Royals at Progressive Field, a team with a .316 wOBA that...
