The MLB DFS season is coming to a close, but I’d like to finish it with a few wins. It’s our final Tuesday slate of the year. There will be at least a couple four-game playoff slates, which are the greatest. So we’ll be hitting those hard, but we’re finishing up this week with the normal DFS previews.
Weather
MLB can’t really afford PPDs at this point in the season, so it takes an extreme circumstance for that to happen. The TOR/BAL game has some rain, but that’s not on the main slate anyways, so we’re in the clear here.
Game Info
Top spot: D’Backs vs. Kyle Freeland
Arizona goes into Coors, and they need the wins. It’s a 7.3-run implication, obviously the top spot on the board. Freeland hasn’t been a total can this year, but has given up 27 bombs on just an 18% K%.
Next best: Braves vs. Brandon Williamson
It’s not in Cincy, but Williamson is a lefty that can be hit hard. He has a 16% K% in limited MLB time with a 29% FB% and a .378 xwOBA against. They’re the only other team above a five-run implication, and they’re almost at six.
The rest:
Angels vs. Brady Basso
The Angels can’t hit, and Basso has held his own in the Majors so far (3.93 JA SIERA, .304 xwOBA). But there should be some very cheap Angels against this lefty.
Athletics vs. Yusei Kikuchi
The Athletics are back at home, and that’s a good spot against Kikuchi who can give up some homers. Kikuchi has a 12% K-BB% in limited time this year with a .339 xwOBA and seven homers given up (six to righties). You can fire up the cheap Athletics righties.
Rangers vs. Sean Manaea
Low ownership projection here, and Manaea has been giving up a bunch of hits and runs lately. He’s someone who can go out there and get really trucked, so we like Texas tonight.
Mariners vs. Cristian Javier
Pretty decent implication here and low ownership, but I don’t want to pick on Javier and all of the whiffs and strikeouts he’s been getting.
No other team is positive in implication minus average. So I’d stick to those offenses for stacking purposes tonight. But here are other spots the projections kinda like:
Twins vs. Anthony Molina
Mets vs. MacKenzie Gore
Dodgers vs. Michael King
