We have a huge 15-game MLB main masterpiece on tap tonight having lots of chances throughout.
Let us get right into tonight’s FanDuel MLB DFS Choices and determine if we could go into the weekend with a little money in our pockets!
P — Charlie Morton (TB) — $11,300 vs. DET
Two of the AL’s best Cy Young candidates are around this slate as Justin Verlander accepts about the Oakland A’s in Oakland while fellow right-hander Charlie Morton takes on the Tigers tonight in Tampa Bay. Of both, Morton gets the best matchup by much and given that the price tag is $900 cheaper, it wasn’t a tricky decision to roll up with the large Tampa hurler in this 1 tonight. Morton enters this man sporting a 2.90 ERA, a figure that’s extremely much supported by his 2.79 FIP and 3.25 xFIP as well. He’s also punching a whopping 11.11 batters per nine innings this season and that amount may well get a boost tonight against a Tigers team which ranks 28th with a 26.1% K-rate against right-wing pitching on the year while his .285 wOBA from these ranks 29th. Morton has confronted the Tigers once this year — in Detroit — in which he hurled seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts. The simple fact that this one is occurring at Tampa bodes well to the upside as well where Morton owns a 2.75 ERA, but in addition a 2.42 FIP, 2.83 xFIP and a massive 12.45 K/9 clip to go together with a 5.94 K/BB ratio. Needless to saythe ceiling is very large, as is the ground, within this matchup tonight.
C/1B — Rowdy Tellez (TOR) — $2,200 vs. SEA
The Blue Jays and Mariners open up a series from the hitter-friendly Rogers Centre in Toronto tonight and I enjoy me a few Blue Jays bats in this one. The Mariners will send opener Matt Wisler into the mound, a right-hander, however Wisler is just anticipated to throw a single innings or 2 innings max. In this one tonight. He’ll then be followed closely by left-hander Wade Leblanc who possesses a ghastly 7.64 ERA on the road this year in addition to a 5.68 FIP and huge 2.73 HR/9 rate. Following Leblanca Mariners bullpen that positions 23rd with a 4.88 ERA over the season will then take over. Obviously, there is opportunity for the Blue Jays to do some damage here. In the season’s second halfof the Blue Jays rank sixth in baseball with a .218 ISO, therefore they have pretty much hit for as much electricity as every club in the league over the last month. Enter Tellez who moves from the left side, but has some inverse splits as he’s posted superior numbers versus left-handed pitching. He owns a .221 ISO along with .782 OPS against lefties throughout the summer, however the amounts burst in the home versus lefties at which he owns a .333 ISO, .906 OPS, .369 wOBA plus a 131 wRC+ from them. That is good news for if he strikes Leblanc, which he certainly will a few occasions, providing him a ton of worth upside into this 1 tonight.
2B — Marco Hernandez (BOS) — $2,100 vs. BAL
After filling in my main piles in this lineup, I had only $2,200 to utilize on another baseman, and while there are actually a few practical options at the cost and under, my pick of the mess is Hernandez who lines up against right-hander Aaron Brooks of the Orioles tonight in Boston. Brooks has struggled this season as he possesses a 6.35 ERA, 6.13 FIP plus also a 5.28 xFIP over the season to go along with a large 2.36 HR/9 mark too. The ERA belongs to 7.31 around the road and the HR/9 creeps up to 2.53 HR/9, therefore we surely have a targetable pitcher, also Boston’s 7.7 run projection within this one demonstrates that. Hernandez does not bring a wealth of home run power to the desk, but he’s handled himself very well against righties using a .333 typical, .188 ISO, .881 OPS, even .370 wOBA and also a 127 wRC+ against righties in a small 48 at-bat sample size on the year. Hernandez struck .319 with the .852 OPS against righties at Triple-A this season Too. Some extra-base power are a bonus in this situation, however I sense Hernandez can get on base a couple of times and score a couple of runs given the large run projection against the worst general pitching staff in baseball this year.
3B — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (TOR) — $3,400 vs. SEA
Next person up in our Blue Jays stack is Guerrero that will in fact be leading off this pile from this projected three-hole tonight. Guerrero has been red-hot at the plate over the last three walks later placing on this epic clinic in the Home Run Derby in Cleveland during the All-Star break. Since returning from the break, Guerrero has produced a .222 ISO, .913 OPS, .382 wOBA plus also a 140 wRC+. Moreover, in the month of August to this stage, Guerrero has submitted a .275 ISO, .990 OPS, .407 wOBA along with also a 157 wRC+. Needless to say, he’s moving a hot bat as well as his match logs are laced with multi-hit matches on a regular basis. Guerrero will surely get to face Wisler from the first inning of the one tonight, which is a fantastic thing as his .208 ISO, .878 OPS, .369 wOBA and 131 wRC+ over the season versus righties greatly simplifies his figures against southpaws. He’ll certainly face Leblanc at once as well, but he’ll see both righties and lefties within this 1 tonight and given just how sexy his bat was in general lately I’m just not overly concerned with his overall battles versus lefties this year. The 20-year-old’s future is sky-high, but I also believe that is true for the here and now at this matchup tonight.
SS — Amed Rosario (NYM) — $2,500 vs. KC
The Mets continue their second half roster to Kansas City this weekend as they take on left-hander Mike Montgomery from the show opener tonight. Montgomery has been good during his MLB career, but he’s struggled to find this season as he possesses a 5.19 ERA. 5.09 FIP and a 1.79 HR/9 clip as well. He is coming off a massive outing in which he hurled seven shutout innings with a whopping 12 strikeouts from a brutal Tigers offense, but he owns a 4.63 ERA as a rookie in five starts this year, all of which have come with the Royals after being acquired from the Chicago Cubs. As a result of Montgomery’s work and an unreliable Royals bullpen, the Mets are estimated to score a very healthful 5.5 runs within this one tonight, so I will unleash a three-man Mets stack as a result, starting in with Rosario. There’s a genuine nice blend of speed and power here with 12 homers and 14 steals on the season, however the amounts against southpaws are enormous. Against lefties this season, Rosario has published a .250 ISO, .905 OPS, .379 wOBA along with 136 wRC+. Additionally, he is punished left-handers about the road to the song of a .297 ISO, 1.062 OPS, .436 wOBA and a 176 wRC+. Rosario has also assembled a .187 ISO, .948 OPS, .395 wOBA and 150 wRC+ since coming from the All-Star break on July 12th. The stolen base upside isn’t so large with two of the 14 steals coming against lefties, but everything points towards a ton of worth upside here at this price, especially considering that his placement at the lineup out of the projected leadoff spot yelling.
OF — Randal Grichuk (TOR) — $3,300 vs. SEA
Next man up in our four-man Blue Jays pile is Grichuk who we shouldn’t be too worried about the breaks with as he strikes both left and right-handers nicely and has throughout his career. The bat has become more effective against left handed pitching, which is probably a fantastic thing considering he is projected for his sixth on the lineup and will consequently likely face the lefty Leblanc two or more times in this one. He possesses a .194 ISO, .781 OPS, .330 wOBA along with 105 wRC+ from lefties this season. But he will also likely face a minumum of one righty tonight, and that’s okay too since the power is increased versus righties using a .213 ISO from them, but also a decent .726 OPS, .303 wOBA along with 86 wRC+. The thing that I like about Grichuk the most is he’s on fire at the plate like his own teammate Guerrero. Grichuk owns a gigantic .412 ISO, 1.115 OPS, .448 wOBA and 185 wRC+ in the month of August for this point. He’s homered in 2 of his past 3 matches and has combined in a dual, five runs scored and five RBI at the time also. Ultimately, it’s wonderful to find that he’s a great deal more production at home where he owns a .256 ISO, .803 OPS, .331 wOBA plus a 106 wRC+ around the season. Lots to enjoy this matchup as well.
OF — Teoscar Hernandez (TOR) — $3,000 vs. SEA
Completing our four-man strong Blue Jays pile is Hernandez who must get at least a couple of repetitions with Leblanc tonight and that is extremely good news thinking about the harm he has done versus southpaws on this season. Hernandez enters this 1 tonight sporting a .231 ISO, .781 OPS, .324 wOBA plus also a 101 wRC+ from them on the season. As soon as it’s great to see him hitting on lefties nicely as he’ll see Leblanc tonight, it’s also wonderful to find he’s been swinging the bat better against righties, unlike earlier in the year. He has hit righties to the point at which he now owns a .228 ISO contrary to them while he has also destroyed righties in the home to the song of a enormous .297 ISO to go along with an .809 OPS, .331 wOBA along with 106 wRC+. His low batting average takes away in your OBP which subsequently drags the wOBA along with wRC+ characters, but to be fair I’m entirely here for the raw power and his ISO numbers provide us lots of reason to think he sports electricity to spare, especially against a pitching team that allowed lots of home runs on the season. Together with 19 long balls on the season and even four steals to boot up, I’m liking the odds of a few extra-base power from the 26-year-old in this one tonight.
OF — J.D. Davis (NYM) — $3,100 vs. KC
We will be finishing this lineup with a pair of Mets to finish a three-man Mets pile, beginning here with Davis who’s in the midst of a breakout year with the Mets thanks to getting near full-time repetitions in comparison to his prior time spent using a wealthy Astros lineup. While his bat has enhanced all time, Davis is swinging a mortal bat against left wing projecting which bodes well with this matchup tonight against Montgomery and the Royals. His splits are actually rather even on this summer, however his .214 ISO, .901 OPS, .376 wOBA and 137 wRC+ have a small edge on his .201 ISO, .878 OPS, .368 wOBA and 132 wRC+ from righties. The one thing I don’t enjoy with Davis is that he’s fought on the road this season where he has hit just five of his 14 home runs, but he will possess a massive .340 ISO, 1.110 OPS, .442 wOBA along with a 181 wRC+ to the month of August for this stage and had four hits, a steal, and two RBI in his final street series and homered and pitched in his preceding road series. I am willing to place the home/road divides apart for a hitter that is perhaps the most improved in baseball this year and one that is matchup proof thanks to his big-time numbers versus both lefties and righties this year.
UTIL — Pete Alonso (NYM) — $4,000 vs. KC
Improving our three-man Mets pile is Alonso who’s now making a mockery of the NL Rookie of the Year race this past year. The hulking first baseman and also 2019 Home Run Derby champ enters this one only one home run shy of the 40 home run indicate which would be an all-time record for a newcomer, knocking the 39 that Cody Bellinger found in 2017. The energy numbers are merely massive all-around and there’s simply no openings . Against left-handed nurturing, he possesses a gigantic .393 wOBA, .992 OPS, .397 wOBA along with 152 wRC+. That is the great news, of course, as he confronts a left-handed starting pitcher. While the most is much more effective at home, Alonso still pwms that a .300 ISO, .831 OPS, .343 wOBA along with 116 wRC+ on the season against left-handers on the road, so the home/road divides are nothing to worry about here. His creation dipped, by his own lofty standards, at the month of July but Alonso is once again rising in August with a .340 ISO, 1.074 OPS, .436 wOBA along with 177 wRC+?? for the point from the month. After homering in four straight matches from August 5th through 9th, Alonso went deeply at yesterday’s outburst at Atlanta where he recorded five hits and six RBI. The 24-year-old has indeed set the baseball world on fire this year and he makes for a wonderful play to cap that 1-3 Mets pile from a struggling newcomer and shaky bullpen tonight.
