The pitching side of last night’s FanDuel MLB DFS Picks did not pan out our ancestors demonstrated up to playwith.
Right-hander Jacob deGrom had 1 problem at the nighttime, and his name was Victor Caratini. Caratini hit a solo homer but his three-run shot off of deGrom in the seventh was devastating. DeGrom completed the inning, however, allowed four earned runs with seven strikeouts to boot over seven innings of work. As stated in yesterday’s piece, it was the very first time he allowed more than three earned runs in a start.
We didn’t get much out of our Mets bats because they once again failed to encourage their ace, but their only run at the night came out of a solo home run from J.D. Davis at the first inning. Was a walk from each one of Amed Rosario and Pete Alonso.
Our Marlins pile did a work. Both Starlin Castro and Harold Ramirez homered in this particular one and equally singled. Their 2 for 5 with a run and an RBI were identical stat lines gave us a whole lot of value. We were given one walk by garrett Cooper .
Finally, we received a little more worth from our Rangers mini-stack as Willie Calhoun homered from Felix Hernandez in the first inning while Nick Solak gave us excellent value with just two rebounds, a run scored and a stolen base to boot. I will definitely take that production.
It was certainly a night that is much-improved and we will look to maintain it going on tonight’s large 14-game slate.
P — Dinelson Lamet (SD) — $8,200 vs. SF
As far as GPP intentions proceed, I wished to take on a pitcher that’s both cost-efficient with important strikeout upside, and I think I have that at the Padres’ Dinelson Lamet who should go low owned tonight awarded the huge slate and the simple fact the Padres are +120 underdogs tonight against Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants. Run support might be a problem against Bumgarner, nevertheless the Padres are actually 11th concerning wOBA versus pitchers this year, so perhaps an upset is in the cards tonight. Entering his start tonight, Lamet has posted a 4.30 ERA over the season, however his 3.80 FIP and 3.84 xFIP show he’s been very good this season after missing all of 2018 thanks to Tommy John surgery. Of course, Lamet brings with him a ton of strikeout upside because he sports a tantalizing 11.74 K/9 across his nine starts this season along with a 3.91 BB/9 which signifies a small improvement in control from his 2017 season. Lamet has moved at least five innings in seven of his nine starts this season and threw seven scoreless with 12 strikeouts against the Mariners in early August. That is the type of ceiling because he chooses on a Giants team that’s one of the worst in baseball right-handed pitching we get with Lamet.
C/1B — Matt Adams (WAS) — $2,800 vs. MIA
The Nationals once more represent a wonderful choice in terms of offense tonight as they accept right-hander Elieser Hernandez along with the Miami Marlins. Hernandez owns a 4.97 ERA on the season, but in addition a 6.02 FIP and 5.21 xFIP and a tremendous 2.42 HR/9 enabled on the season. Furthermore, Hernandez has been put on the path to the song of a 6.38 ERA, 7.92 FIP, 5.87 xFIP and a massive 3.38 HR/9 clip. Ultimately, Hernandez was only brutalized by left-handed hitters on the road this year as he owns a 11.70 FIP, 7.13 xFIP along with a eye-popping 5.59 HR/9 from lefties from home, so that I think we’ve got some significant possibility with a few Nationals left handed bats in addition to a staple in any Nationals heap. After all, Adams is hitting on right-handed pitching for plenty of electricity again this year as he possesses a big-time .271 ISO contrary to them to go along with a .813 OPS and .335 wOBA. Furthemore, Adams has destroyed right-handed pitching in home for some massive .318 ISO to go along with an .856 OPS, .352 wOBA along with 114 wRC+. There’s lots of reason to think Adams can deliver tonight to a bunch of worth at this cost against a pitcher that has been touched up by lefties on the road this year.
2B — Nick Solak (TEX) — $3,000 vs. SEA
Do not fix it if it is not broken. That is certainly the case with Solak afterwards he delivered a set of hits, a run and a stolen base at the match of last night as his start to his big league career persists. Solak is currently hitting .375 using a 1.018 OPS across the initial 10 matches of the MLB career. Unsustainable? Sure. But, there is reason to think Solak’s hot start can continue tonight as he takes on left-hander Marco Gonzalez this evening. The Rangers are estimated to score a healthier 5.4 runs against Gonzales plus a poor Mariners bullpen, also Solak passes this one sporting a .417 typical versus lefties by virtue of a 5 to 12 against them using a set of doubles at the early going. His first MLB stolen base was off of a lefty yesterday evening. Solak struck lefties to get an .805 OPS in Triple-A this season, but a huge .933 OPS in Double-A at 2018. He also posted a .305 ISO at Triple-A for the Rangers this year after a transaction from the Rays and he has hit 27 home runs joint between both teams’ Triple-A franchisees this year with five steals as well. Having a 166 wRC+ at the early going I do not mind riding Solak at a premium position in this lineup tonight.
3B — Anthony Rendon (WAS) — $4,400 vs. MIA
I mentioned Elieser Hernandez’s barbarous numbers versus lefties on the road this year, also while Rendon hits from the perfect side, it’s a very dangerous practice to leave him out of any Nationals stack and I am not going to do that tonight. In the end, Rendon is putting up MVP-type numbers at the plate this year against the two right-handed and left pitchers. Against righties, Rendon has struck .326 using a .281 ISO, 1.005 OPS, .412 wOBA plus a huge 153 wRC+. The energy numbers are dwelling are large as he owns an higher .312 ISO at Nationals Park this season against right-handed pitching to go along with a .993 OPS, .405 wOBA along with 149 wRC+. The month of August was kind to Rendon since he sports a .268 ISO, 1.063 OPS, .431 wOBA plus a big-time 165 wRC+, the latter of which represents the second-highest mark of his season. Rendon’s game titles have been littered with multi-hit attempts, including in his last game on Wednesday in which he went 2 for 4 with a double and a set of runs . The icing on the cake using Rendon is that he has gone 4 for 7 with two home runs from his history against Hernandez. There is simply no way that you ought to be fading Rendon in any Nationals pile tonight.
SS — Elvis Andrus (TEX) — $3,200 vs. SEA
Completing my Rangers mini-stack is Andrus who should be able to group up with Solak for some production against a weak Mariners pitching staff tonight. Andrus hasn’t been able to replicate the spike in electricity that watched him hit 20 home runs in 2017, however the 10 he has hit so far this season marks the second-most in almost any time for the veteran shortstop while his 27 steals are the most he’s registered since swiping 27 from the 2014 campaign. The fantastic thing is that Andrus was unafraid to run against lefties as he’s stolen nine of those 27 bags from southpaws, and he has only been caught once by a lefty, good for a 90% stolen base success rate from southpaws. While his 80 wRC+ about the season leaves a great deal to be desired, I am encouraged by the fat which his home versus lefties divides is undoubtedly his best split of them all. Andrus has struck .371 using a .194 ISO, .958 OPS, .397 wOBA and also a big-time 143 wRC+. The next closest wRC+ into this figure is that the 100 mark he owns on the street versus righties. To put it differently, Andrus has been at his very best this year when facing lefties in the home, something he’ll do tonight against Gonzales, a pitcher who he has gone for 16 (.312) with two doubles against in his career.
OF — Adam Eaton (WAS) — $3,600 vs. MIA
Keep an eye on the confirmed lineup to the Nationals tonight as Eaton is currently recorded as day-to-day afterwards leaving Wednesday’s game after being hit in the knee with a pitch. But, Eaton actually conducted the bases before he was taken out of the match, along with the Nationals had an off day , so there is a good chance Eaton would probably be back in the lineup , which would be great news with this pile considering Hernandez’s work versus lefties around the road this year. Eaton gives us some real nice power/speed potential as he is hit 12 home runs on the season and swiped 13 bases too. He possesses a .148 ISO, .812 OPS, .350 wOBA along with 113 wRC+ from right-handed pitchers this season, but these numbers improve to some .175 ISO, .867 OPS, .372 wOBA and 127 wRC+ at home versus right-handed pitching which represents his very best split of all of them. Furthermore, the month of August had been his very best month of the season. Eaton has published a big-time .293 ISO, 1.061 OPS, .439 wOBA and also an eye-popping 171 wRC+ to the month for this point. His game logs for the month have been riddled with all runs and multi-hit efforts. That is exactly what I will search for tonight out of the veteran, but I would also be open to watching him make great one the above power/speed upside down too.
OF — Juan Soto (WAS) — $4,000 vs. MIA
Completing the four-man Nationals stac is Soto who may very well end up as the most productive bat in this stack. There is a whole lot of speed and power to be had with Soto as he’s introduced 29 home runs this year and stolen 12 bases also. The remarkable 20-year-old is making it look easy, which we understand is not easy to do at this age at this degree. He is hitting both left and right-handed pitchers for plenty of power, but he is at his best versus righties and owns a .294 ISO, .993 OPS, .412 wOBA and 153 wRC+ to the season versus right-handed throwing. His stat line of a .280 ISO, .985 OPS, .407 wOBA along with 150 wRC+ in home versus righties is mainly in accordance with his general numbers . Naturally, his stolen base potential is superior versus righties and he’s swiped two of his 12 bases versus right-handed pitching this year. Like Eaton, Soto has been having himself one heck of a month as he’s posted an unworldly .374 ISO, 1.078 OPS, .437 wOBA and 169 wRC+ to the month to this stage. Soto went 2 for 4 with a triple, two runs scored and two RBI in his final match on Wednesday versus the Orioles. Like with Rendon, Soto is a part of any Nationals stack tonight.
OF — Hunter Renfroe (SD) — $2,600 vs. SF
I’ll be finishing my lineup in San Francisco, as he chooses on Madison Bumgarner, beginning with Renfroe tonight with a couple players. Bumgarner has been good in the second half and good at home this year, while he’s owned Bumgarner within their history but Renfroe’s numbers against lefties can not be dismissed. Renfroe has teed off this year to the tune of a .388 ISO, .970 OPS, .382 wOBA and 138 wRC+ on the season. For what it is worth, his strikeout rate also plummets from 33.7percent versus righties to just 20.4percent versus lefties. The intense pitcher-friendly boundaries of Oracle Park in San Francisco don’t look good for Renfroe, however the fact is that Renfroe possesses a .410 ISO and also 1.033 OPS versus lefties at Petco Park in San Diego, arguably the most second-most pitcher-friendly place in baseball. He alsop possesses a .373 ISO, .929 OPS, .364 wOBA along with 126 wRC+ from lefties around the road this season. His figures against Bumgarner will be the icing on the cake. Renfroe has smacked around his division rival to the song of a .333 typical (6 to 18) with three home runs and two rebounds . That is fantastic for a .611 ISO, 1.260 OPS and .495 wOBA against him. Renfroe should see low possession on a big slate along with many will be scared by his face matchup against Bumgarner off, therefore a home run from the large slugger would only do wonders for this lineup .
UTIL — Renato Nunez (BAL) — $3,200 vs. KC
Another one-off that may proceed tonight that is overlooked is Nunez whose Baltimore Orioles carry on the Kansas City Royals tonight along with left-hander Eric Skoglund. Nunez might be having the most quiet superior season of any participant in the big leagues onto a bad Orioles group as he has introduced 28 home runs this year and published a .231 ISO in the process. He’s been able to hit for power contrary to both pitching, but his work is against lefties. Nunez has submitted a .259 ISO, .868 OPS, .357 wOBA plus also a 123 wRC+ to the season against left-handed pitching. He has posted a .264 ISO, .859 OPS, .350 wOBA along with 118 wRC+ from lefties on the road this year. It is a bit of a bummer to view Nunez lasting the worst statistical month of the season in August, but he’s appreciated multi-hit efforts in 2 of his last few games with a double, two runs, three RBI and his sole stolen base of the year at the time also, so he is picking up the production again. What’s more, Skoglund was rocked to get a 6.14 ERA, 5.97 FIP, 6.46 xFIP along with a 1.71 HR/9 rate at Triple-A this season in 11 starts, so there a lot to like about Nunez against the left-hander tonight.
