FanDuel MLB DFS Picks – October 4th

Last nights FanDuel MLB DFS Picks reeled in some gains as we picked the correct beginning pitcher that gave us.
Buehler notching the NLDS series triumph over the Washington Nationals in Game 1 and then hurled six innings of shutout baseball to go along with eight strikeouts. Of course, Buehler notched a high quality start because he mowed in this one throughout the Nats offense.
Our four-man Braves pile wasnt overly busy, but we were saved by a Freddie Freeman home run by a flop that is notable. John Donaldson scored a run listed an RBI and was struck by a pitch while Nick Markakis doubled and scored a run. Matt Joyce was unable to give exactly the exact value we desired to us and was held to a zero.
Our three-man Dodgers stack was solid, yet unspectacular. Justin Turner led the way with a stolen base, a run scored and a single while Chris Taylor walked twice and singled. Corey Seager did not give much to us .
Finally, Kolten Wong, our one time second baseman, was great as he doubled singled, walked and knocked in two runs. Wong was also robbed of one in his first at-bat on a diving catch by center fielder Ronald Acuna Jr.. .
It was a great bounce evening following a flop on Wednesday night, and I will look to make it back-to-back profitable nights on this slate that is primary!
P — Stephen Strasburg (WAS) — $10,100 vs. LAD
Rather than last night when I went with a cash line, tonights lineup is going to be geared more towards GPPs since I will be utilizing Stephen Strasburg as he chooses the powerful Los Angeles Dodgers in tonights Game 2 of the NLDS from Dodgers Stadium. While Strasburg threw 34 pitches of aid from Tuesdays Wild Card win, director Dave Martinez chalked up it as equal to what hed do in between starts, therefore Strasburg should be able to deal with a complete workload in this one and I am not worried about some innings or pitch limitations, especially with the leagues 29th-ranked bullpen behind him along with the two Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin unavailable to piggyback from him. Strasburg has already been dominant this year as hes pitched to a 3.32 ERA, 3.25 FIP and a 3.17 zFIP to go along with a stout 10.80 K/9 speed. Hes carried that victory to the street and hes posted a 3.39 ERA, 3.23 FIP and a 3.45 xFIP out Nationals Park to go along with a fine 10.18 K/9. What I like here is that current Dodgers bats are hitting just .189 from Strasburg using a combined .706 OPS, therefore hes not scared to go up from the temptations of the Dodgers. Together with the Dodgers among the best offenses in baseball along with the Nats underdogs, I really like Strasburg like a GPP play.
C/1B — Paul Goldschmidt (STL) — $3,800 vs. ATL
The Cardinals took Game 1 from the Braves in Atlanta and I believe they have an excellent chance of taking Game 2 as well as they take on right-hander Mike Foltynewicz who endured a rocky regular season that included a trip to the minors. Foltynewicz completed the regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 4.97 FIP and a 4.73 xFIP to go along with a however 1.77 HR/9. He was exceptional in September with a 1.50 ERA across 30 innings of work, therefore hes feeling it entering this one, however, I also think the Cardinals offense is riding loads of assurance into this one tonight. Goldschmidt should certainly be driving lots of confidence into this contest as he launched a homer in the nights upset win from Dallas Keuchel as his torrid second half continues. Goldschmidt fought from the first half with his new team, nevertheless he submitted that a big-time .271 ISO, .886 OPS, .365 wOBA along with 128 wRC+ since the All-Star break — manufacturing that were used to watching from the hulking first baseman. That marks four home runs over his past six matches and back-to-back matches with a home run. His bat was greatest against lefties, but I am willing to pay up against a righty as he is red-hot entering this one with power to spare.
2B — Kolten Wong (STL) — $2,600 vs. ATL
Though he can hit lefties well, Wong had been transferred down the lineup to the seven hole, but he might very well go back up into the two-hole tonight against the right-handed starter Foltynewicz — a pitcher he has enjoyed lots of success against in his profession. Wong published a .797 OPS, .339 wOBA along with 111 WRC+ from right-wing pitching. Additional his very best work — by far — was done on the road where he posted a .212 ISO, .922 OPS, .384 wOBA along with 137 wRC+ in contrast to only an 80 wRC+ at home. He hit righties for a .209 ISO, .925 OPS, .385 wOBA and 141 wRC+ around the street. We do get any pop with Wong since he homered 11 times in the regular season, but plenty of stolen base upside since he swiped 24 bases on the year, 20 of which came against a pitcher. Last night marked three consecutive games with a hit for Wong using a match in just two of these three competitions. Wong continues to be running lots on the bases of late since hes swiped four bases over his last eight games, but hes also tried six steals in that time. Finally, he has owned Foltynewicz in their history against one another as hes gone 5 for 11 (.455) with three doubles, a homer and a stolen base against him. I am absolutely loving the worth and cross-category upside down tonight if he can hit from that two-hole.
3B — Matt Carpenter (STL) — $2,900 vs. ATL
All told, it was a disappointing time for Carpenter, especially in contrast to past seasons, since he homered only 15 times in 129 matches and posted a .166 ISO that dropped well under the .266 indicate he published while homering 36 times just last season. Carpenter did not receive the beginning last night but he must tonight against the righty. His very best work came from righties, using an increased .177 ISO, but I am enjoying Carpenter for yet another motive: recency. As mentioned, his season was mostly a battle, but Carpenter moves these marching coming off the best month of his season as he published a .233 ISO, .866 OPS, .364 wOBA along with 127 wRC+ at the month of September. Carpenter homered two on the last three regular season matches, and weve seen this guy go on several serious stretches of residence run production previously. I hope the final few games of the regular season started such a stretch. Carpenter has also enjoyed some success out of a power standpoint against Foltynewicz as he has gone 3 for 12 (.250) with a homer and a double from the right-hander. I believe we can get some nice worth .
SS — Paul DeJong (STL) — $3,100 vs. ATL
We are completing a four-man Cardinals pile in a hurry as DeJong is a genuine fine choice at shortstop as someone who has also hit Foltynewicz for electricity in the past. It was a great regular season from DeJong from an energy perspective as he hit a career-high 30 home runs and submitted a .211 ISO on the summer as well. On top of this 30 home runs, we also have some stolen foundation upside here as DeJong swiped nine bases on the season. Weve seen an ability from the righty-swinging DeJong to strike right-handed pitching well in the past and he did so again this season with some notable reverse-splits. DeJong submitted a .228 ISO, .783 OPS, .329 wOBA and a 104 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season. Furthermore, he published a massive .292 ISO, .875 OPS, .359 wOBA along with a 125 wRC+ to the road against righties. In laymans terms, DeJong struck 27 of his 30 home runs against a right-wing pitcher this season and six of the nine steals also came from a righty. Finally, DeJong has gone 3 for 10 (.300) having a double and a homer in his profession against Foltynewicz. Hes likely to strike in this pile, thus a big night from DeJong can mean a big night for this particular four-man Cardinals heap.
OF — Nelson Cruz (MIN) — $4,300 vs. NYY
The Twins and Yankees kick their ALDS series tonight from Yankee Stadium and New York as the two best home run-hitting clubs in the regular season. The Twins edged the Yankees at the home run department, thanks in part to the classic Nelson Cruz because he clubbed a whopping 41 home runs in just 120 games due to injury. Yes, thats fantastic for an huge .328 ISO on this season. Cruz and the Twins will take on left-handed James Paxton within this one, a pitcher who endured an abysmal first time with the Yankees, but ended with a 3.82 ERA, 3.86 FIP and 4.03 xFIP and a 1.37 HR/9 rate. Nevertheless, Im simply going to roster a trio of players who hit lefties very well this year, and that surely starts with Cruz who posted a number of, if not the very best figures I have seen against a left handed pitcher. Ready for this? Cruz posted an unworldly .461 ISO, 1.207 OPS, .464 wOBA and a 195 wRC+ from left-handed pitching this year. The numbers were actually better at home in the pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, however lets not fret over his .319 ISO, 1.096 OPS, .436 wOBA and 176 wRC+. He is white-hot having the eight-game hitting streak entering this one with four home runs, three doubles and 11 RBI at the time. I propose paying up for the thunderous Cruz inside this matchup.
OF — Marwin Gonzalez (MIN) — $2,900 vs. NYY
Next man up in our three-man Twins heap is Gonzalez who didnt hit for a lot of home run power this season, but he sure loved himself from left-handed pitching. Gonzalez hit just 15 homers and published a .151 ISO in an injury-shortened 114-game season, but everything was better against left handed pitching. Gonzalez struck .300 using a .167 ISO, .789 OPS, .332 wOBA plus a 106 wRC+ from lefties this season in contrast to some .144 ISO, .715 OPS, .306 wOBA along with 88 WRC+ vs righties. His bat was just a little bit better on the road against lefties using a .796 OPS, .338 wOBA along with 110 wRC+ in scenarios such as the one he finds himself at tonight. Id continue to keep a watch out for the Yankees confirmed lineup for this as Gonzalez missed the last week of the regular season with an undercover injury, but hes supposedly prepared with the Game 1 tonight. Before the injury, Gonzalez place a poor September behind him by going 2 for 5 with a run and three RBI. He actually hit in seven of the last nine matches prior to getting hurt, so his bat was clearly starting to turn . I really dont see him netting tonight to a huge amount of ownership, so that he can give a boost with some production in this to us.
OF — Matt Joyce (ATL) — $2,300 vs. STL
After picking Strasburg as my pitcher and then filling into both my Cardinals and Twins piles, I had $2,500 left to an outfielder, and Im going to return to Matt Joyce despite a difficult matchup against Jack Flaherty who had been one of, if not the best pitcher in baseball at the seasons second half. In reality, I think that will frighten many off of the Braves in general, although I do observe Joyce getting some ownership. However, his work against right-wing pitching this season was once again solid as he posted a .298 average, .871 OPS, .377 wOBA and 131 wRC+ against righties about the season followed by a .176 ISO, .942 OPS, .403 wOBA plus a 149 wRC+ against righties in SunTrust Park where this one takes place tonight. Joyce had something that could have people from him, a night in the nights NLDS opener. Personally, with his enormous 16.4% walk rate in your home from righties this year, I believe Joyce gets the patience which could even net him some walks if his extra-base power doesnt appear. No matter he will not need to do a ton to strike appreciate tonight, but well want him to place last night behind him and find a way to get on base at least once in this day.
UTIL — Jonathan Schoop (MIN) — $2,800 vs. NYY
Completing this lineup and our three-man Twins pile is Schoop was demolished left wing pitching in the season while his ability against lefties surged on the road. For the period as a complete, Schoop clobbered lefties to the tune of a .286 ISO, .917 OPS, .376 wOBA and also a 136 wRC+. Compared to his 87 wRC+ against righties and we know where the majority of his creation came out of this year. But, all how jumped to .310 about the street against lefties to go along with a .907 OPS, .375 wOBA and 135 wRC. Following a August, Schoop fought in September, however he notched a two-hit game in 2 of his last four regular season competitions with a double and a homer at the time. He notched a hit in four of the five regular season contests entering this one. I really dont enjoy the fact that Schoop has gone 0 for 7 in his career against Paxton, but his manner is the type that could do lots of damage with one swing and turn those fortunes around — particularly given his job against lefties here in 2019. The cost is right within this matchup from a lefty, so Ill take that this Twins to be anchored tonight by Schoop.
