Offensive Stacks

New York Yankees vs Ricky Nolasco

The Yankees in a bit of a offensive dip right now, but they are due for some positive correction, and no better pitcher to be up against then Ricky Nolasco. This season, Nolasco has a .357 wOBA vs left-handed hitters, and a .386 wOBA vs right-handed hitters. Not the type of numbers you want to see when going into Yankees Stadium and facing the potential powerful offense. The top six batters in the Yankees lineup make the most sense for stacking tonight.

Cleveland Indians vs Kevin Gausman 

The Indians are starting to turn their season around, and the bats are coming to life for them. This game being at a hitters park, and facing a struggling pitcher, the stars are seemingly aligning for DFS players. Gausman has given up eight or more hits in seven straight starts, and has given up 16 ER over his last three starts. Really rough numbers for him, and is a great option to stack against. All Cleveland hitters in play tonight.

 

FanDuel & DraftKings DFS Pitchers

Max Scherzer - P, @ MIA (DK - $14,100, FD - $12,300)

Scherzer is the sure fire best pitching option on the slate today. He is coming into this game with having 10 or more strikeouts in fives straight games, and he has only given up 5 ER over those five games. Elite numbers recently, and is a lock and load play for cash games. He is at Miami which is a great pitchers park, and is facing a team who has a 20% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitching. He is super expensive on DraftKings, so you will need to find some value to fit him in your lineups. Should be noted that he is playing on the early slate.

Mike Fiers - P, @ OAK (DK - $8,100, FD - $7,800)

Fiers is a solid GPP option for today given his match up. He is at Oakland, which is a good pitchers park, and up against a team who has a 25% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitching, which comes in at third worst in the Majors. Fiers has shown flashes of greatness this season, but also a bit of struggles. He has eight or more strikeouts in two of his last four games, and only allowed 5 ER over those four games. But on the flip side, he has also hasn't been able to make it to the sixth inning in six starts this year, so good upside, but certainly comes with a bit of risk.

 

FanDuel & DraftKings DFS Infielders

Chris Iannetta - C, @ COL (DK - $4,300, FD - $3,600)

Iannetta had the day off on Monday, so he should be good to go for today's game. Always nice to get some Coors Field exposure into your lineups, and a catcher that has a .232 ISO vs right-handed pitching this season, playing at a massive hitters park is always nice. He is best used in a stack, with the always potent Diamonbacks offense.

Trey Mancini - 1B, vs CLE (DK - $3,600, FD - $3,100)

Mancini has some good home run upside, and has great splits against right-handed pitching this season. He has a .421 wOBA and a .311 ISO vs RHP. He is on the cheaper side, especially on FanDuel, and makes a great cash game play. He is at home in a hitters park, and gives you a bit of savings.

Scooter Gennett - 2B, @ TAM (DK - $4,000, FD - $2,700)

As you can see, Gennett is much cheaper on FanDuel today. He is under $3K, and is batting in the two hole for the past few games. He is seeing more playing time due to the injury to Cozart, so why not jump on a player with a .379 wOBA vs right-handed pitching that is this cheap. He is viable in all formats.

Jake Lamb - 3B, @ COL (DK - $5,600, FD - $4,700)

Lamb is an expensive option at the hot corner today, but boy oh boy does he have a juicy match up. He is at Coors Field, which we all know is the best hitters park in the Majors, and this season vs right-handed pitching, he has a .431 wOBA and a .311 ISO. Massive numbers, in an already great spot, make him a sure fire option for tonight.

Didi Gregorius - SS, vs LAA (DK - $4,400, FD - $3,300)

It's no secret that the Yankees have been struggling over the past week, but they are in a spot to turn it around. They are at home which is a great hitters park, up against a pitcher who has a .357 wOBA vs left-handed hitters. Didi is a bit cheaper on FanDuel, and this season vs RHP, he has a .354 wOBA and a .333 OBP. Gives you cheaper exposure to the Yankees offense.

 

FanDuel & DraftKings DFS Outfielders

Mallex Smith - OF, vs CIN (DK - $3,800, FD - $2,700)

Smith is still priced down on FanDuel, which makes him a great play over there. Smith didn't play on Monday night, so he should be set to return to the starting lineup today. He has great upside because of his stolen base threat, and has a .357 wOBA and a .393 OBP vs RHP. So if he gets on, there is a good chance he will try to steal, and rack up some points for you.

Tommy Pham - OF, @ PHI (DK - $4,200, FD - $2,800)

Pham is getting on a bit of a hot streak right now. He has two home runs in his last four games, and is at a nice hitters park. This season vs right-handed pitching, he has a .342 wOBA and a .173 ISO. Not overwhelming power, but he is seeing the ball well right now, and comes with a bit of salary relief on FanDuel.

Ben Gamel - OF, vs DET (DK - $3,900, FD - $3,100)

Gamel has six multi hit games over his last nine games. He is seeing the ball well from both types of pitchers, and he has a .384 wOBA vs right-handed pitching this season. He comes in under $4K on both sites, and brings you some great consistency, as he is batting .344 this season.
