FanDuel MLB DFS Picks – October 4th

Last nights FanDuel MLB DFS Picks reeled in a few gains as we picked the right starting pitcher that gave us the base we had.
Buehler notching the NLDS series triumph and then hurled six innings of shutout baseball to go along with eight strikeouts. Needless to say, Buehler also notched a quality start as he mowed through the Nats offense.
Our four-man Braves pile was productive, however we were saved by a Freddie Freeman residence run by a prominent flop. John Donaldson scored a run listed an RBI and was struck by a pitch while Nick Markakis doubled and scored a run. However, Matt Joyce was not able to provide us and was held into a zero.
Our three-man Dodgers pile was strong, yet unspectacular. Justin Turner led the way with a run scored, a single and a stolen base while Chris Taylor walked twice and singled. Corey Seager didnt provide us much .
Finally, our one-off second baseman, Kolten Wong, was good as he doubled, singled, walked and knocked in two runs. Wong was robbed of one in his early at-bat in a diving catch by center fielder Ronald Acuna Jr.. .
It was a wonderful dip evening following a flop about Wednesday night, and Ill look to make it nights on this four-game slate that is principal!
P — Stephen Strasburg (WAS) — $10,100 vs. LAD
As opposed to last night once I went with a cash lineup, tonights lineup is going to be aimed more towards GPPs as I will be utilizing Stephen Strasburg because he takes on the strong Los Angeles Dodgers in tonights Game 2 of the NLDS from Dodgers Stadium. While Strasburg threw 34 pitches of relief Tuesdays Wild Card win, manager Dave Martinez chalked up it as equal to what hed do in between starts, so Strasburg should have the ability to manage a complete workload in this one and I am not worried in some innings or pitch limitations, especially with the teams 29th-ranked bullpen behind him and both Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin unavailable to piggyback from him. Strasburg has already been dominant this season as he has pitched to a 3.32 ERA, 3.25 FIP and a 3.17 zFIP to go alongside a stout 10.80 K/9 rate. He has carried that victory to the road and he has posted a 3.39 ERA, 3.23 FIP and a 3.45 xFIP outside Nationals Park to move along with a fine 10.18 K/9. What I like here is that current Dodgers bats are hitting only .189 off of Strasburg with a joint .706 OPS, therefore hes not scared to go up from the temptations of the Dodgers. Together with the Nats underdogs and the Dodgers one of the greatest offenses in baseball, I like Strasburg this four-game slate like a GPP drama.
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 superb shot of taking Game 2 as well as they shoot on right-hander Mike Foltynewicz who endured a rocky regular season that included a visit to the minors. Foltynewicz completed the regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 4.97 FIP along with a 4.73 xFIP to go together with a nevertheless 1.77 HR/9. Now, he was excellent at 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 has been riding lots of assurance into this one tonight. Goldschmidt should definitely be riding loads of confidence into this competition as he started a homer in the nights upset win off of Dallas Keuchel as his torrid second half continues. Goldschmidt struggled in the first half of his new group, however he posted a big-time .271 ISO, .886 OPS, .365 wOBA along with 128 wRC+ since the All-Star fracture — manufacturing that were utilised to seeing from the first baseman. That marks four home runs over his last six matches and back-to-back matches with a home run. His bat was best against lefties, but I am willing as he is red-hot entering this one with power to spare to cover against a righty.
2B — Kolten Wong (STL) — $2,600 vs. ATL
Though he can hit lefties well, Wong has been moved down the lineup last night to the seven hole, however he might very well go up to the two-hole tonight against the right-wing rookie Foltynewicz — even a pitcher he has enjoyed lots of success against in his profession. Wong posted a .797 OPS, .339 wOBA and 111 WRC. Furthermore, his very best job — by far — has been done on the street where he published a .212 ISO, .922 OPS, .384 wOBA along with 137 wRC+ compared to just an 80 wRC+ in home. He hit righties for a .209 ISO, .925 OPS, .385 wOBA along with 141 wRC+ on the street. We do get some soda with Wong as he homered 11 times in the regular season, but plenty of stolen foundation upside as he swiped 24 bases on the season, 20 of which came from a pitcher. Last night marked three games with a hit for Wong. Wong continues to be operating lots on the bases of late as he has swiped four bases over his past eight games, but he has also tried six steals in that moment. Eventually, hes possessed Foltynewicz in their background against one another as hes gone for 11 (.455) with three doubles, a homer and a stolen base against him. Im absolutely loving the worth and cross-category upside tonight if he could indeed hit out of that two-hole.
3B — Matt Carpenter (STL) — $2,900 vs. ATL
All told, it was a disappointing season for Carpenter, especially compared to past seasons, as he homered only 15 days in 129 matches and published a .166 ISO that fell well below the .266 indicate he published while homering 36 times only last year. Carpenter didnt get the beginning last night against the lefty, but he should tonight against the righty. His very best work came from righties, with an elevated .177 ISO, but I am liking Carpenter for another motive: recency. As mentioned, his season was largely a battle, however, Carpenter enters these playoffs coming off the very best month of his season as he submitted a .233 ISO, .866 OPS, .364 wOBA along with 127 wRC+ in the month of September. Carpenter homered two over the last three regular season games, and we have seen this man go on several serious stretches of residence run production in the past. I am hoping the final few games of the regular season started such a stretch. Carpenter has also enjoyed some success from a power standpoint against Foltynewicz as he has gone for 12 (.250) with a homer and a double against the right-hander. I believe we can find some worth .
SS — Paul DeJong (STL) — $3,100 vs. ATL
We are finishing a four-man Cardinals stack in a hurry since DeJong is a genuine fine option at shortstop as somebody who has also hit Foltynewicz for energy in the past. It was a great regular year from DeJong from an energy perspective as he hit a career-high 30 home runs and submitted a .211 ISO about the year as well. In addition to this 30 home runs, we also get some stolen base upside down as DeJong swiped nine bases on the season. Weve seen a skill from the righty-swinging DeJong to hit right-handed pitching very well in the past and that he did so again this year with a few noteworthy reverse-splits. DeJong submitted a .228 ISO, .783 OPS, .329 wOBA along with a 104 wRC+ from right-handed pitching this year. Furthermore, he also posted a enormous .292 ISO, .875 OPS, .359 wOBA along with a 125 wRC+ on the street against righties. In laymans terms, DeJong hit 27 of his 30 home runs contrary to a right-handed pitcher this season and six of his nine temptations also came from a righty. Finally, DeJong has gone for 10 (.300) using a double and a homer in his profession against Foltynewicz. Hes likely to strike in this pile, therefore a large night from DeJong could signify a huge night for this four-man Cardinals stack.
OF — Nelson Cruz (MIN) — $4,300 vs. NYY
Even the Twins and Yankees kick off their ALDS series tonight from Yankee Stadium and New York since both greatest dwelling run-hitting clubs in the normal season. The Twins edged the Yankees from the home run department, thanks in part to this ageless Nelson Cruz as he clubbed a whopping 41 home runs in only 120 games due to injury. Yes, thats fantastic for an enormous .328 ISO on the season. Cruz and the Twins will take on left-wing James Paxton within this , a pitcher who suffered an up-and-down first season with the Yankees, but ended with a 3.82 ERA, 3.86 FIP and 4.03 xFIP plus a 1.37 HR/9 speed. Having said that, Im going to roster a trio of players that hit lefties well this year, and that certainly starts with Cruz who published a number of, if not the very best numbers Ive seen against a left-handed pitcher. Ready for this? Cruz posted an unworldly .461 ISO, 1.207 OPS, .464 wOBA and a 195 wRC+ against left-handed pitching this year. The figures were really better at home in exactly the pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, but let us not fret over his .319 ISO, 1.096 OPS, .436 wOBA and 176 wRC+. He is white-hot with the eight-game hitting streak entering this one using four home runs, three doubles and 11 RBI at the time. I suggest paying up for the thunderous Cruz in 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 lot of home run power this season, but he certainly enjoyed himself contrary to left-handed pitching. Gonzalez hit just 15 homers and published a .151 ISO in an injury-shortened 114-game season, even though everything was better against left-handed pitching. Gonzalez hit .300 with a .167 ISO, .789 OPS, .332 wOBA plus a 106 wRC+ from lefties this year compared to some .144 ISO, .715 OPS, .306 wOBA along with 88 WRC+ vs righties. His bat was a little bit better in the road against lefties using a .796 OPS, .338 wOBA along with 110 wRC+ in scenarios like the one he sees himself in tonight. I would keep a watch out for the Yankees confirmed lineup for this one as Gonzalez overlooked the final week of the regular season with an oblique injury, but he is supposedly prepared for the Game 1 tonight. Prior to the injury, Gonzalez place a bad September behind him by going 2 for 5 with a run and three RBI. He hit in seven of his last nine matches prior to getting hurt, therefore his bat clearly started to turn into. I dont see him netting tonight to a huge amount of ownership, so that he can offer an increase with a few generation 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 stacks, Id $2,500 left to an outfielder, and Im going to go back into Matt Joyce despite having a challenging matchup against Jack Flaherty who had been among, if not the best pitcher in baseball at the seasons second half. In fact, I feel though I do find some ownership being got by Joyce with a few pricey pitchers on the background that will scare many from the Braves in general. Still, his job against right-wing pitching this year was once again strong as he posted a .298 typical, .871 OPS, .377 wOBA along with 131 wRC+ against righties over the season followed by a .176 ISO, .942 OPS, .403 wOBA plus a 149 wRC+ against righties at SunTrust Park where this one happens tonight. Joyce had a tough night in the nights NLDS opener, something that may also have people off of him in this one tonight. Personally, together with his enormous 16.4% walk speed in your home from righties this year, I believe Joyce has the patience which could even net him a few walks even if his extra-base power does not show up. Regardless, he will not have to do a ton to strike value tonightbut we will need him to put last night and find a means to get on base at least once in this evening.
UTIL — Jonathan Schoop (MIN) — $2,800 vs. NYY
Completing this lineup along with our three-man Twins stack is Schoop was demolished left-handed pitching at the season while his power against lefties surged on the street. For the period as a complete, Schoop clobbered lefties to the tune of a .286 ISO, .917 OPS, .376 wOBA along with also a 136 wRC+. Compared that to his 87 wRC+ against righties and we understand where most of his production came from this year. But, all the way jumped to .310 around the road against lefties to go together with a .907 OPS, .375 wOBA and 135 wRC+ against them. In September, Schoop struggled after a white-hot August, however he also notched a game in 2 of his last four regular season competitions with a double and a homer in that moment. He notched a hit entering this particular one. I really dont like that Schoop has gone for 7 in his career against Paxton, but his manner is the type that can do lots of damage with a single swing and turn those fortunes about — particularly given his job against lefties here in 2019. The cost is right within this matchup against a lefty, so I will take that the Twins to be anchored tonight by Schoop.
