P: Griffin Canning, Los Angeles Angels ($8,500)
Canning flew up the prospect ranks for the Angels and now gets a great matchup against the right handed heavy Tigers. Detroit has struck out at the 5th highest clip against right handed pitchers. Canning should have his first real opportunity to show his worth in the DFS community.
P: Caleb Smith, Miami Marlins ($9,500)
Smith is a risky play versus the Chicago Cubs, but his production is hard to ignore. In total opposing offenses are hitting just .168 against Smith this season. Smith also has averaged 11.9K’s per 9. The Chicago lineup has been flourishing of late but only Javier Baez has been consistent against left-handed pitching during 2019. Smith will get strikeouts so even if runs are given up he has a chance to score points.
C: Jorge Alfaro, Miami Marlins ($3,600)
Alfaro has the power to bring some punch for your lineup. Hitting in the number four spot in the order will against a left handed starter gives him the potential for a big fly tonight. At his low cost and spot in the lineup he has the potential to have a big game.
1B: Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds ($3,500)
Joey Votto is good. He just hasn’t shown it of late. He gets a great matchup with Mike Fiers, who over utilizes his fastball which plays right into the hands of Votto. Votto still carries a .381 WOBA vs. right-handed pitching going back to 2018.
2B: Jose Altuve, Houston Astros ($4,300)
Altuve continues to have low cost due to struggles in the early season. He has however had a strong ISO and WOBA to start the season. He has matched up well with Danny Duffy over his career to a tune of .474 BA in 21 career at bats.
3B: David Fletcher, Los Angeles Angels ($3,900)
The Angels could be a sneaky stack for tonight. David Fletcher has had a quietly productive season. He will face off with Daniel Norris, whom is giving up a .367 WOBA to righties.
SS: Chris Taylor, Los Angeles Dodgers ($3,600)
Chris Taylor is one of the hottest hitters on the planet right now, scoring double digits on Draftkings in four straight games. Taylor has also excelled versus left-handed hitters with a .556 slugging percentage.
OF: Kiki Hernandez, Los Angeles Dodgers ($4,100)
Kiki mashes lefties. That is all.
OF: Ian Desmond, Colorado Rockies ($3,900)
Desmond is a dart throw at best against Madison Bumgarner. With over 40 career at bats against him it’s safe to say that Desmond should have a good idea of what is coming. His .486 slugging percentage is worth a start at a low price.
OF: Andrew Benintendi, Boston Red Sox ($5,100)
Benintendi has had eight hits over his last four games. He gets a matchup with David Hess whom can blow up at any moment. If affordable a Red Sox Stack would not be out of the question.
