We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Adam Wainwright and Francisco Liriano in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Sonny Gray FD 7700 DK 6100 Opponent - TB (Moore) Park - @OAKFD - 32.88 DK - 20.71 I'm going to be very honest with you: Pitching is awful today. Every game on the slate has an O/U of at least eight, and there are no "safe" or "cash game" plays outside of, Adam Wainwright. I'm not going to lie, I got excited when I saw Stephen Strasburg was taking the mound today, but then realized he was pitching in the early only slate. That broke my heart. Guess what I'm trying to say is that the pitching options aren't pretty today (so manage your bankroll accordingly), but I also found two pitchers (other than Wainwright) that you can throw into your lineups and have a chance tonight. And the first guy on the list is, Sonny Gray. Yes, Sonny Gray has an ERA over five, but he sports a 4.29 xFIP, which shows us that he has not been as bad as his ERA suggests. Yes, a 4.39 xFIP is something he shouldn't be proud of and bragging about to all your friends, but it sure gives fantasy owners some hope. The other thing that stood out to me is his ground ball percentage. He owns a 54.4 GB%, which will help him out quite a bit going up against this powerful Rays' lineup. The majority of these guys hit for power, which is where that GB% will come into play....

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 7/21/16

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks FanDuel & DraftKings 7/21/16 Welcome to our new 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. Now’s your chance to get DFSR Pro with MLB Optimal Lineups, Projections and Player Cards. Or try a free trial of our base package with projections for every player. While the seasons overlap, you'll get access to our tools for the NBA and NHL as well! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with MLB?

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 Boston Red Sox vs. Tyler Duffey (BOS) The Red Sox are coming into this contest scoring 15 runs in their last two games, and I just can't see Tyler Duffey slowing them down. The Red Sox will be playing at home in Fenway, a hitter-friendly park, against a pitcher who owns an ERA over five. It doesn't get much better than this folks. Not sure what else I have to say to get you on board, but if you're not yet; maybe this will do it: The Red Sox rank 1st in wOBA (.354), 1st in wRC+ (117), 5th in ISO (.188) and 1st in OPS (.831) against right-handed pitching. David Ortiz isn't hitting like a guy headed toward retirement with an OPS over 1.000 and top of the order guys like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts have seen a small price dip in the short term. It doesn't get prettier than this; this is where you can almost fade Coors in tournaments with the Sox coming at advantageous price points.   Chicago White Sox vs. Mike Pelfrey (DET) Oh no.... It's been...

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 Toronto Blue Jays vs. Zack Godley (MIN) The Blue Jays will be playing at "Baby Coors" (Chase Field) and will be going up against right-hander, Zack Godley. You gotta love it! Godley has a lot of control issues (10.3 BB%) to go along with a 1.50 WHIP. He puts a lot of runners on base and going up against the Blue Jays is yelling out trouble. The Jays' are one of the top teams when it comes to facing right-handed hitters. They own a .334 wOBA (6th in MLB) 106 wRC+ (6th in MLB) and .192 ISO (4th in MLB). Yes they are expensive, but they have one of the best offenses in the league and will be going up against a guy with an ERA over five. Los Angeles Angels vs. Kyle Loshe(TEX) Let's be honest: Kyle Lohse isn't the same pitcher he once was, so I'm going to be picking on him today. Since, 2014, Loshe owns a 4.63 ERA, 4.51 FIP and 34.2% hard contact rate. He's 37 years old; and his velocity is down, so look for...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jose Quintana and Carlos Martinez in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Jake Arrieta FD 10600 DK 12100 Opponent - NYM (Syndergaard) Park - @CHCFD - 36.98 DK - 24.35 Yes I know he has been terrible in his last three starts, but look for him to bounce back tonight. He's had a nice long break to clear his mind mentally for this contest. Look at what Jon Lester did. He was struggling before the break and started the second half with a [bang]. I expect Arrieta to do the same thing tonight. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt where his last three starts were on the road. Tonight there are no excuses. He will be pitching at Wrigley where he owns a 1.65 ERA, 1.81 FIP and 23.0 K-BB%. He is a completely different animal at home and look for him to take advantage of a Mets' squad that's in the bottom half of the rankings against right-handed pitchers. The matchup is there for him -- now it's time for him to prove to us why he is "one of the top pitchers in the game." Danny Salazar FD 10300 DK 11300 Opponent - KC (Young) Park - @KCFD - 33.18 DK - 22.1 If you're looking for some upside, Danny Salazar is your guy. He owns a 27.6 K% to go along with a 82.6 LOB%. He is a tournament only play for me as he can have some control issues (10.8 BB%), but you can't deny his upside. He...

Daily Fantasy Baseball News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – 7/18/16

Posted by on Jul 18, 2016 in Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks, featured, News | 2 comments

Daily Fantasy Baseball News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 7/18/16 Welcome to the daily MLB updates and news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock today. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the batting lineup changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Personnel Matt Cain will get the nod on Wednesday against the Red Sox . Yan Gomez suffered a shoulder injury and is likely heading to the DL. Joc Pederson (shoulder) looks like he will be able to join the club tomorrow. Mark Teixeira (left foot) is considered day-to-day after X-Rays came back negative. Rich Hill left Sunday's contest with blisters on his pitching hand and is considered day-to-day. Top Tournament Stack Orioles The Orioles will be going up against, Ivan Nova, at Yankee Stadium, so look for them to have themselves a night. They devour right-handed pitchers, as they own a .348 wOBA (2nd in MLB) to go along with a .201 ISO (1st in MLB). Sure we have a game at Coors today, but this is an excellent pivot and could be similar to a game at Coors (runs wise). Ivan Nova has a FIP over 4 and an ERA over 5, so look for this Orioles' squad to have themselves a night.   The "Every Lineup" Guy Nolan Arenado FD 4600 DK 3800 Opponent - TB (Smyly) Park - @COLFD - 15.41 DK - 11.84 We got a game at Coors and the popular play of the day from this contest will be Nolan Arenado. He will be going up against southpaw, Drew Smyly and I see him having a rough outing. Smyly is a fly ball pitcher (47.0%), which won't help him out in this ballpark. Righties own a .330 wOBA against him since 2014, so look for righties to hit him hard in this contest, especially Arenado. Matt Holliday FD 3000 DK 3200 Opponent - SD (Friedrich) Park - @STLFD - 12.08 DK - 9.2 Matt Holliday against a lefty? Sign me up! Not only does he hit lefties well (.371 wOBA and .192 ISO since 2014), but there is something else that sticks out to me. And that is his price! On a day where you...
