Rose’ 8/9 MLB DFS Plays

UPDATE!!! I think I’m actually leaning towards Stripling and Anderson now. I think we may see some ownership from the LA side and Anderson just destroyed them in the road. 

 

Also think Verlander gets hit tonight, Seager BVP DONG! 

 

Baltimore 2-4 in play as well 

 

PITCHING 

This is going to be an extremely chalky slate so I’m going to explain who and why I’m playing them. First is Paxton, he gets an injury plagued Houston team that he just saw 2 starts ago. In that game he went 7 innings, striking out 8 and getting the win. This team is not dangerous at the moment, and Pax should be able work his way through this lineup. He’s going to be extremely chalky like I said, but so is Verlander. If I’m going to eat chalk, might as well take the path of least resistance here. Second is Yonny Chirinos. He should get a bulk of the innings tonight. He owns a 22% k rate at home and at almost min price on FanDuel, he allows us to load up some big bats. I doubt he’s going to be that highly owned and we need to keep an eye on news of him definitely coming in after Wood. There was talks of possibly Faria coming out of the pen but he’s dealing with a neck issue. 

 

STACKS 

Dodgers – Coors against a lefty. Granted Anderson is pretty good at coors, but Muncy, Turner, Machado and Kemp all carry an extremely high xWOBA against Anderson. 

Tampa – Hess has a 6.61 road ERA on the road and a .304 average with 4 homers on the road as well. Bauers Cron Mallex Kiermaier. 

Red Sox – good spot for them to blow up Borucki. This team is on fire and a lefty in Boston is dangerous. Pearce (Revenge) JD Mookie Devers Nunez 

Toronto – Why don’t we just game stack it. Porcello sucks, Smoak stands out the most in the matchup and seems like he’s catching fire now. 

San Fran – Nova is probably the mid tier chalk play, so I’m attacking him. Crawford matches up well against Nova and a homer is in the works there.
