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...

We've got you completely covered.   Minnesota Twins Dylan Holmberg is not a good pitcher. He's been getting insanely lucky as of late and it's not going to last much longer at all. He is holding a ridiculous sub .150 BABIP and is due to be knocked out of the game in the 1st While that's a bit extreme, I don't see Holmberg lasting more than 4 or 5 more starts before going to either AAA or the bullpen. He's a soft lefty with no changeup and a weak slider. The Twins host Holmberg in Progressive Field, where they have ranked 10th with a .319 wOBA. Miguel Sano and Brian Dozier are both elite against lefties, sporting a +.400 wOBA over the last 2 seasons. Robbie Grossman sported a .408 wOBA against lefties in 2016 and as a switch-hitter, always holds the platoon advantage. You then get into guys with a bunch of power and some speed. Kennys Vargas and Eduardo Escobar are pretty safe, so you can use either of them in your stack. yron Buxton is better against lefties and will end up being a very good hitter. The Twins should be pretty highly owned and if you want to get crazy, I couldn't blame you. Main Stack - Miguel Sano, Brian Dozier, Robbie Grossman, Eduardo Escobar Sneaky Stack - Miguel Sano, Brian Dozier, Kennys Vargas, Byron Buxton New York Yankees Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez are hitting everything in sight. They are both having tremendous seasons and you can expect them to continue this performance for at least another series. They face off with Ricky Nolasco, who has been absolutely HORRIBLE. He has been horrible against both lefties and righties, tall guys and short guys. Nolasco has pitched 70 innings this year, in which he's allowed an astounding 21 home runs. The leash is short on Nolasco and I don't see any chance he lasts much longer as a starter. Once Nolasco is out of the game, the league's 23rd best bullpen comes into the game. They won't have fun with the Yanks here and I expect them to put up...

We've got you completely covered.   Pitchers Carlos Carrasco FD 9800 DK 10900 Opponent - BAL (Gausman) Park - @BAL FD - 31.76 DK - 21.1 We touched on Jeff Samardzija and Jose Berrios in the main picks article, who are both still in play in cash and tournaments. We're now going to touch on the most expensive pitcher on this slate, who also has the highest ceiling. If Carlos Carrasco is on his prime stuff tonight, he could go 9 innings and strikeout 10. It's extremely unlikely when you consider his recent form. Carrasco has been struggling to get first pitch strikes of late and it's hindered his pitch count, as well as his ability to pitch for the strikeout. He can right back to his game here against the Orioles, who are willing to strikeout as much as you'll let em'. They are good in terms of wOBA against righties, but have plenty of games where they score just 1 or 2 runs. Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo both K close to 30%, while Schoop and Machado lie near 27%. They also hit a ton of homers, so it weighs out over the long haul. Camden Yards is one factor working against Carrasco. This is an extreme hitter park and things could go south with ease in the match-up. In tournaments, Carrasco is definitely worth a look. If you're forcing me to play cash games, I'll take Samardzija or Berrios before Carrasco. Rich Hill FD 7600 DK 8900 Opponent - NYM (Montero) Park - @LAD FD - 27.42 DK - 18.12 Rich Hill was absolutely horrible last time out and it will likely keep everyone off of him. I just don't think there is anyone better. Hill is a very talented pitcher and we're paying close to $10k for him just 3 months ago. He faces off with a Mets team that is much worse against lefties, ranking 26th in all of baseball. They also move into Dodgers Stadium, which is one of the more spacious parks in the NL. You can't deny Hill and his numbers last year, so you have to wonder...
