Offenses to Target for DraftKings
Braves vs. Rick Porcello (BOS - RHP)
Throughout June, the Braves offense has led the MLB in hits while trailing only the Jays in runs. With Freddie Freeman, (ATL, 1B - $5,200) Andrelton Simmons, (ATL, SS - $3,700) Jace Peterson (ATL, 2B - $3,500) all batting above .300 the past week, the Braves look to continue their dominance. Rick Porcello is posting a 4.61 ERA with a .278 batting average toward left-handed batters. The Braves have a predominantly left-handed lineup with Nick Markakis (ATL, OF - $3,700) posting a team high .420 OBP against LHP.
Tigers vs. Jon Moscot (CIN - RHP)
When it comes to efficiency Detroit is one of the top squads. Batting .289 with a .430 SLG % in the last two weeks, it's good enough to be one of the best hitting teams in the MLB. With dominant right-on-righty hitters like Miguel Cabrera, Jose Iglesias, J.D. Martinez, Yoenis Cesepedes, and Ian Kinsler anchoring the offense, today would be a great day to stack up on the Tigers. All of these Tigers have been batting above .300 recently and have an OBP at least .295 against RHP in June. On top of that, they face a complete unknown pitcher in Jon Moscot who is bound to get torn up vs. a veteran slugging squad like the Tigers.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Target for DraftKings
Dallas Keuchel (HOU, LHP - $9,600)
Keuchel is a star on the mound and his matchup with the high powered Rockies should not be feared. The Rockies are among the leaders when it comes to scoring runs and racking up hits in June but have also been among the top in strikeouts as well. More importantly, the Rockies struggle terribly vs. left handers and away this season, and that does not look to get any easier with Keuchel, who is only giving up a 1.90 ERA to right handed batters. To go along with a .211 BAA vs. righties, the .130 BAA vs. lefties should be enough to secure Keuchel a spot in your lineup. Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, and D.J. LeMahieu are all batting sub .300 vs. LHP.
Wei-Yin Chen (BAL, LHP - $7,700)
Wei Yin Chen has a matchup against one of the worst offensive teams in the league. The Phillies hover near the bottom of list when it comes to both hits and earned runs. Against left handed batters, Chen has maintained a 1.80 ERA to go with a 3.57 ERA for right handers. The Phillies have a fair share of power on their team but their .242 average should not be enough to pass up on Chen.
DFS Infielders to Target for DraftKings
Manny Machado (BAL, 3B - $4,200)
Manny Machado is one of the top hitters in the recent month. He has managed 11 hits in the past six games while averaging .458 with a .519 OBP in the previous week. Against RHP Machado is only averaging .283 but he is seeing serious improvement as of recently.
Josh Donaldson (TOR, 3B - $5,300)
With one of the highest batting averages in the past seven days, Donaldson goes up against Noah Syndergaard who has a 3.93 ERA against right handed batters. Donaldson has been anchoring the Blue Jays with his .370 batting average over the past week and his .352 OBP against RHP.
Jose Reyes (TOR, SS - $4,500)
Another Blue Jay that has been holding his own during the Toronto win streak. His OBP against RHP is .362 which is among the highest on the team. While batting .327 against RHP, Reyes has been able to get consecutive hits and the Blue Jays should continue their win streak even against a tough Mets squad.
Mark Teixeira (NYY, 1B - $4,700)
Mark Teixeira has been on an absolute tear recently batting .471 over the past week while obtaining an impressive .616 OBP against RHP. Tom Koehler is giving up a 4.00 ERA to right handed batters and Teixeira should capitalize.
DFS Outfielders to Target for DraftKings
Cameron Maybin (ATL, OF - $3,800)
The Braves high powered offense is not fueled by Cameron Maybin, but it benefits from his ability to convert at-bats to hits. He is no stranger to multi-hit games and has had six since the beginning of June. His .323 BA and . 380 OBP over the past seven days have helped the Braves and he should have no issue continuing to support their offense as he demolishes right handed pitching.
Yasiel Puig (LAD, OF - $5,200)
One of those special players that you cannot help but play, Puig has ten hits in his last five games. His .500 batting average over the previous week only makes his matchup with Yovani Gallardo even tastier. It seems obvious to play Yasiel Puig as his stats back up his necessity to play.
Alex Gordon (KC, OF - $4,100)
Alex Gordon is one of the cheaper OF options and has plenty of value. A .357 BA with a .377 OBP against RHP shows that Gordon should be able to dominate his matchup up with Kyle Lohse. Lohse has a 4.01 ERA which should allow Gordon to provide enough points to outperform his projection.
