DFSR's Daily Fantasy MLB Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings - Friday 4/21/17 DFSR”s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the MLB pod to discuss a full Friday in baseball for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s an interesting night for sure with some starting pitchers in solid spots. The guys discuss Jacob deGrom against the Nationals who could be without Daniel Murphy again tonight. There’s also Corey Kluber against the White Sox who tend to strike out above league average rates against righty pitching. Then then talk about Alex Meyer coming very cheap on DraftKings against a mostly-righty Blue Jays team who are really struggling. For offenses the guys discuss the San Francisco Giants heading into Coors tonight. They are getting the Coors’ pricing bump on both sites which could make them a fade tonight. Instead they focus on the Los Angeles Dodgers heading into Chase against the D’Backs. You can also target the Angels against Mat Latos or the Cubs heading into Great American Ballpark.

DFSR’s Daily Fantasy MLB Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings – Tuesday 4/20/17
DFSR's Daily Fantasy MLB Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings - Tuesday 4/20/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the baseball podcast to discuss a smaller evening slate in the majors with only seven games on the docket. They start off talking pitching and comparing/ contrasting the four big arms going here. Noah Syndergaard and Stephen Strasburg both stand out in the upper tier and we can make a case for both in cash games. Then in the $9K range we have James Paxton and Carlos Martinez. Paxton’s been amazing to start the season and hasn’t allowed a run yet. Meanwhile, Martinez has had electric K stuff but struggled with the walks. On the offensive/ stack side of things the guys discuss the Orioles going against Scott Feldman in Great American Ballpark and the Royals facing off against Andrew Cashner in Arlington. All of this and more. Be sure to subscribe...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jon Lester and Michael Wacha in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets Clayton Kershaw FD 10700 DK 13800 Opponent - SF (Suarez) Park - @SFFD - 33.72 DK - 22.44 Happy Kershaw Day everyone! I mean do I really have to explain this pick? You already know the drill, right? You don't! Ugh, I guess I'll go ahead and give you a little recap about Kershaw. Kershaw has been one of the most, if not the most dominant pitcher in baseball over the last few seasons. He's an absolute force when on the mound and has the highest ceiling. He's that good! The matchup isn't the best against the Giants, but it's Kershaw were talking about! He will be pitching at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park, and isn't too expensive. If your playing cash games, you know where to start. Hisashi Iwakuma FD 8000 DK 8200 Opponent - OAK (Cotton) Park - @SEAFD - 31.19 DK - 20.41 Hisashi Iwakuma is at an excellent price-point, has a great matchup and has had a solid season. What more could you ask for? Eh, maybe a million dollars, but if were talking about selecting a DFS pitcher, he's one of the best SP2 out there tonight! He'll be going up against an A's squad that he's had success against this season. He's delivered a quality start in three out of the four outings against them. Not only does he have their number, but they have also been cold. In their last 14 contest, they possess a .278 wOBA (27th in MLB), 74 wRC+ (26th in MLB) and .144 ISO (21st in MLB). Iwakuma...
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 10/1/16
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 10/1/16 Welcome to our daily article breaking down some of the other stacking targets on this slate. We covered our system's top value plays in our daily picks article and pitching breakdown but here we will look at other dudes to consider. In case you didn’t notice, on Saturday we released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and Player Lab which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a robust set of tools; well beyond anything we’ve ever had and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. SIGN UP NOW! A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Stacking in DFS MLB is such an important concept if you’re looking to take down a big tournament on FanDuel or DraftKings. It’s also a good way to diversify cash games because the variance in baseball can mean wild swings (ahem) in the scoring on a particular slate. The concept is easy. You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good. Stack Targets Early Slate New York Mets vs. Phil Klein (PHI) The pressure is on. Teams are fighting for postseason spots. Jobs are on the line. You're giving it all you got left in the tank. Emotions are higher than ever. It's October baseball baby! Happy October everyone! So without further ado, lets dive into my top three stacks of the day! First on the list are the New York Mets. They will be going up against Phil Klein, who has an ERA over 8. Although, It's not fair to judge him based on that, you have to admit -- 8 is a very intriguing number. He's only got one MLB start under his belt and the rest of his appearances came out of the pen. So I see this becoming a bullpen game for the 'Phils, which is also why I'm on this Mets' squad. The Phillies' bullpen has been one of the worst in the league, as they are sporting a 5.04 ERA (3rd-worst in MLB). The Mets are fighting to maintain their postseason hopes alive and have a beautiful matchup, which is why I'm all over these guys tonight. My top 4 guys to stack: Jay Bruce, Jose...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets Rick Porcello FD 9800 DK 12600 Opponent - TB (Andriese) Park - @TB FD - 35.65 DK - 23.99 What a season Rick Porcello has had. Besides being the first 20-game winner of the 2016 season, he's also sporting a 3.08 ERA along with a 0.98 WHIP and 3.88 xFIP. He's been real good and let's be honest -- none of us saw him having this type of season (I'm just as guilty). His peripherals are one reason why I'll be plugging him into my lineups, but the other reason is because of his matchup. Today, Porcello and the red-hot Red Sox will be going up against a Rays' team that he's very familiar with. He's faced them five times this season and in those five meetings -- he's delivered a quality start every time. Not only did he deliver quality starts, but he also scored at least 21 (Draftkings) points in each of those contests (that's very impressive). He has the Rays' numbers and they also own 24.2 K% on the year, which is why I'm on the Porcello-train today. Marcus Stroman FD 7600 DK 8500 Opponent - NYY (Sabathia) Park - @TOR FD - 33.11 DK - 21.76 Vegas is all over the Blue Jays today, as they own a -200 money line and I'm also on the Blue Jays-train. They will have Marcus Stroman on the mound, who can be very streaky, but I'm a fan of his today. I believe he's a solid SP2 option today that will allow you to pay up...
