Weather Concerns
Very quiet weather today as we don’t expect any delays or PPD.
Top Pitchers To Target
Max Scherzer– His matchup is not the best tonight but its Max and you always have to consider him whenever he is on the slate. Fanduel did a great job pricing him up on their site as he is over 10K but on Drattkings he is 9K and that is where I would look to target him the most. What separates him from the other pitchers on todays slate is his strikeout upside as we have him projected for over 7Ks tonight. He is my SP1 on Draftkings and a great pivot off Lucas Giolito on Fanduel.
Lucas Giolito- Speaking of Lucas is pricing is the opposite of Max as he is cheaper on Fanduel but priced up on Draftkings. I plan to target him more on Fanduel at his discounted price. We also have him porjected for over 7ks tonight and due to his matchup he leads our model in Sharks Rating. The Royals have the 2nd lowest implied team total in our model so this is also a great run prevention spot for him tonight.
Eduardo Rodriguez- Very good matchup or him tonight as the Tigers are one of the worst teams in league against left handed pitching. He is priced in the same area as Max tonight on Draftkings and in same range as Lucas on Fanduel. So my plan is to focus on him as a GPP pivot on Fanduel and on Draftkings he is a great SP2 option to pair with Max.
Other Pitchers To Consider
Kolby Allard (Great source of Value on Draftkings as a SP2)
Steven Matz (Great source of value on Fanduel)
Some people may look to Kevin Gausman tonight but he ranks as a terrible play in our model on both sites.
Top Stacks To Target
New York Yankees- Whenever Matt Harvey is on the mound you have to look at stacking the opposing team against him. He gives up so much hard contact to both left and right handed batters. I don’t see how he will be able to get through this game tonight without giving up multiple home runs. The Yankees are much easier to stack on Fanduel as their pricing his much better. On Draftkings its hard to stack the Yankees and also pair Max with Eduardo Rodriguez. So this is where a cheap SP2 value like Kolby Allard is in play!!
Colorado Rockies- From a run scoring perspective we are under on the Rockies tonight as we project them to score almost a full run less than Vegas but from a fantasy perspective their pricing fits very well on both sites. They get the 2nd highest stack rating in our model and this is a great spot for them to generate alot of hits and hard contact. Alex Mills has the lowest strikeout projection on the slate so we expect alot of balls to be in play!!
Other Stacks To Consider
St. Louis Cardinals
Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Dodgers
