FanDuel MLB DFS Picks – October 4th
As we picked the correct starting pitcher that gave us the base we 27, last nights FanDuel MLB DFS Picks reeled in a few profits.
Buehler hurled six innings of shutout baseball to go along with eight strikeouts and notching the NLDS series victory. Needless to say, Buehler notched a quality start as he mowed through the Nats offense in this one.
Our four-man Braves pile was not overly busy, however we were saved by a late Freddie Freeman residence run from a flop that is celebrated. John Donaldson scored a run listed an RBI and was also hit by a pitch while Nick Markakis doubled and scored a run. Matt Joyce was unable to provide us exactly the value we wanted and was held into a zero.
Our three-man Dodgers stack was solid, yet unspectacular. Justin Turner led the way with one, a run scored and a stolen base while Chris Taylor walked twice and singled. Corey Seager did not provide us much with a single at the evening.
Ultimately, Kolten Wong, our second baseman, was quite good because he knocked in two runs, doubled, walked and singled. Wong was robbed of a single in his early at-bat onto a diving catch by center fielder Ronald Acuna Jr.. .
It was a great bounce evening following a flop about Wednesday night, and I will look to make it back-to-back lucrative nights on this four-game slate that is major!
P — Stephen Strasburg (WAS) — $10,100 vs. LAD
Rather than last night when I went with a money lineup, tonights lineup is going to be aimed 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 relief in Tuesdays Wild Card win, manager Dave Martinez chalked it up as equivalent to what he would do in between begins, so Strasburg ought to have the ability to handle a full workload within this one and I am not concerned in some innings or pitch limits, especially with the teams 29th-ranked bullpen behind him along with both Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin unavailable to piggyback off of him. Strasburg has been dominant this year as he is pitched to a 3.32 ERA, 3.25 FIP along with a 3.17 zFIP to go alongside a stout 10.80 K/9 rate. He has carried that success over to the street and hes posted a 3.39 ERA, 3.23 FIP along with a 3.45 xFIP outside Nationals Park to proceed together with a nice 10.18 K/9. What I like here is that current Dodgers bats are hitting only .189 off of Strasburg using a combined .706 OPS, therefore hes not afraid to go up from the temptations of the Dodgers. Together with the Dodgers one of the best offenses in baseball along with the Nats underdogs, I really like Strasburg like a GPP play on this four-game slate.
C/1B — Paul Goldschmidt (STL) — $3,800 vs. ATL
The Cardinals took Game 1 in the Braves in Atlanta and I believe theyve got an exceptional shot of taking Game 2 and they take on right-hander Mike Foltynewicz who suffered a rocky regular season that included a visit to the minors. Foltynewicz finished the regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 4.97 FIP and a 4.73 xFIP to go along with a but 1.77 HR/9. He was exceptional in September with a 1.50 ERA across 30 innings of work, so hes feeling it entering this one, but I think the Cardinals offense has been riding tons of confidence into this 1 tonight. Goldschmidt should definitely be driving tons of confidence into this contest as he launched a homer in the nights upset win from Dallas Keuchel because his torrid second half persists. Goldschmidt struggled from the first half of his new team, nevertheless he posted a big-time .271 ISO, .886 OPS, .365 wOBA along with 128 wRC+ because the All-Star break — manufacturing that we are utilised to seeing from the first baseman. That marks back matches with a home run and four home runs over his final six games. His bat was best against lefties, but Im willing to pay up against a righty as he is red-hot entering this one to spare.
2B — Kolten Wong (STL) — $2,600 vs. ATL
Though he could hit lefties well, Wong was moved down the lineup to the seven hole, however he would very well go back up to the two-hole tonight against the right-handed starter Foltynewicz — a pitcher he has enjoyed lots of success against in his profession. Wong posted a .797 OPS, .339 wOBA along with 111 WRC. Furthermore, his very best work — by far — has been done on the street where he posted a .212 ISO, .922 OPS, .384 wOBA along with 137 wRC+ compared to only an 80 wRC+ in your home. He hit righties for a .209 ISO, .925 OPS, .385 wOBA along with 141 wRC+ around the road. We do get some soda with Wong as he homered 11 times in the regular season, but also plenty of stolen base upside as he swiped 24 bases around the season, 20 of which came from a right-handed pitcher. Last night marked three straight games with a bang for Wong using a game in just two of these three competitions. Wong continues to be operating a lot on the foundations of late since hes swiped four bases over his last eight games, but he has also attempted six steals at the time. Finally, he has owned Foltynewicz in their background against one another as he has gone for 11 (.455) with three doubles, a homer and a stolen base . I am absolutely loving cross-category and the value upside down tonight if he can indeed hit out of the two-hole.
3B — Matt Carpenter (STL) — $2,900 vs. ATL
All told, it was a disappointing season for Carpenter, particularly in comparison to past seasons, since he homered just 15 days in 129 matches and posted a .166 ISO that fell well under the .266 indicate he published while homering 36 times just last season. Carpenter didnt get the beginning last night against the lefty, but he should tonight against the righty. His best work came against righties, having an increased .177 ISO, but I am liking Carpenter for yet another motive: recency. As mentioned, his period was largely a battle, however, Carpenter moves these marching coming off the very best month of his season as he published a .233 ISO, .866 OPS, .364 wOBA and 127 wRC+ at the month of September. Carpenter homered twice on the last three regular season matches, and weve seen this guy go on some critical stretches of residence run production in the past. I hope the last couple of games of the regular season began such a stretch. Carpenter has also enjoyed some success from a power standpoint against Foltynewicz as he has gone 3 for 12 (.250) with a homer and a double from the right-hander. I think we could find some value from Carpenter at the price tonight.
SS — Paul DeJong (STL) — $3,100 vs. ATL
We are completing a four-man Cardinals stack in a hurry as DeJong is a genuine fine choice at shortstop as somebody who has also hit Foltynewicz for energy previously. It was a wonderful regular year from DeJong from an energy perspective as he struck on a career-high 30 home runs and posted a .211 ISO on the summer also. In addition to the 30 home runs, we also get some stolen foundation upside down as DeJong swiped nine bases on the year. We have seen an ability in the righty-swinging DeJong to hit right-handed pitching very well before and he did so again this year with a few noteworthy reverse-splits. DeJong submitted a .228 ISO, .783 OPS, .329 wOBA along with also a 104 wRC+ against right-wing pitching this year. Additionally, he posted a massive .292 ISO, .875 OPS, .359 wOBA along with a 125 wRC+ to the street against righties. In laymans terms, DeJong struck 27 of the 30 home runs contrary to a right-handed pitcher this year and six of his nine temptations also came from a righty. Eventually, DeJong has gone for 10 (.300) having a double and a homer in his career against Foltynewicz. He is going to hit in this pile, thus a huge night from DeJong can signify a huge night for this particular four-man Cardinals heap.
OF — Nelson Cruz (MIN) — $4,300 vs. NYY
The Twins and Yankees kick off their ALDS series tonight from Yankee Stadium and New York as both greatest 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 as he clubbed a whopping 41 home runs in just 120 games because of injury. Yes, that is good for an great .328 ISO on this season. Cruz and the Twins will take on left-wing James Paxton in this particular , a pitcher that suffered an abysmal first year with the Yankees, but ended with a 3.82 ERA, 3.86 FIP and also 4.03 xFIP plus a 1.37 HR/9 speed. That said, I am going to roster a trio of players who hit lefties well this season, and that certainly begins with Cruz who posted a number of, if not the best figures I have seen against a left-handed pitcher. Ready for this? Cruz submitted an unworldly .461 ISO, 1.207 OPS, .464 wOBA along with also a 195 wRC+ from left handed pitching this year. The figures were really better at home in the pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, however lets not worry within his .319 ISO, 1.096 OPS, .436 wOBA along with 176 wRC+. Hes white-hot having an eight-game hitting streak entering this one using four home runs, three doubles and 11 RBI at the moment. I propose paying up for the thunderous Cruz inside this matchup.
OF — Marwin Gonzalez (MIN) — $2,900 vs. NYY
Next guy up in our three-man Twins heap is Gonzalez who did not hit for a ton of home run power this season, but he certainly loved himself against left-handed pitching. Gonzalez hit just 15 homers and published a .151 ISO in an injury-shortened 114-game year, although everything was against left-handed pitching. Gonzalez hit .300 using a .167 ISO, .789 OPS, .332 wOBA along with a 106 wRC+ from lefties this season compared to some .144 ISO, .715 OPS, .306 wOBA and 88 WRC+ versus righties. His bat was a tiny bit better over the road against lefties with a .796 OPS, .338 wOBA and 110 wRC+ in situations like the one he sees himself in tonight. Id keep an eye on the Yankees confirmed lineup for this particular as Gonzalez missed the last week of the regular season with an oblique injury, however, he is reportedly all set with the Game 1 tonight. Before the injury, Gonzalez put a bad September behind him going 2 for 5 with a run and three RBI. He hit in seven of his last nine matches before getting hurt, therefore his bat was beginning to turn around. I really dont find him netting a huge amount of ownership tonight, so he can offer a boost with a few generation in this particular one to us.
OF — Matt Joyce (ATL) — $2,300 vs. STL
After selecting Strasburg as my pitcher and satisfying in both my Cardinals and Twins stacks, Id $2,500 left to an outfielder, and Im likely to return to Matt Joyce despite having a tough matchup from Jack Flaherty who was among, if not the very best pitcher in baseball at the seasons second half. In fact, I think even though I really do observe Joyce getting some ownership that will frighten many off of the Braves generally. Still, his job against right-wing pitching this year was once again solid as he published a .298 average, .871 OPS, .377 wOBA along with 131 wRC+ against righties about the season followed by a .176 ISO, .942 OPS, .403 wOBA plus a 149 wRC+ against righties at SunTrust Park in which this one happens tonight. Joyce had something that may have people from him in this 1 tonight, a night in the NLDS opener of last night. Personally, with his huge 16.4% walk speed in the home against righties this year, I believe Joyce has the patience that could even net him some walks if his extra-base power does not show up. Regardless, he will not have to do a lot to strike appreciate tonightbut we will 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 along with our Twins pile is Schoop while his power against lefties jumped onto the street, was absolutely demolished pitching in the regular season. For the season as a whole, Schoop clobbered lefties to the tune of a .286 ISO, .917 OPS, .376 wOBA along with a 136 wRC+. Compared to his 87 wRC+ against righties and we understand where the majority of his production came from this year. But, down all the way jumped to .310 on the street against lefties to go together with a .907 OPS, .375 wOBA and 135 wRC. In September, Schoop fought after a white-hot August, but he notched a game in 2 of his last four regular season contests with a double and a homer at the moment. He notched a bang entering this particular one. I really dont like the fact that Schoop has gone for seven in his career against Paxton, but his manner is the kind that could do lots of damage with a single swing and turn those fortunes about — particularly given his work against lefties here in 2019. The purchase price is right in this matchup against a lefty, so Ill take Schoop to anchor tonight to this three-man Twins.
