The Bomb Sheet is used to help highlight MLB Players in Prime hitting spots. These players can be played on all sites depending on price and roster construction. There is always more upside added to these Players by incorporating them into stacks, but make sure to start your stacks with the players highlighted below.
Red Sox Vs Orioles
Sandy Leon – DK $ 3400/FD$2000/YAHOO$9
One of my favorite red sox players Sandy Leon! He always goes under owned and usually at minimum price on all sites. This Lefty on Lefty matchup bodes well for him with the pitch types he is going to see. You would never believe me but Sandy Leon wOBA .634, ISO .750 and wRC+ 138 vs LHP that throw around 91 MPH. These metrics are better than any other red sox player. “Sandy Leon” just ask Luke at Karma!!!!!!
Also Consider: C. Davis
Twins Vs Blue Jays
Taco Hernandez – DK $ 3600/FD$2500/Yahoo$10
Well its TACO Monday!!!!! Hopefully he makes the starting roster and if he does, he will be one of my favorite one-off bombs. His HR prediction of 17.3% is backed up by the types of pitches, ISO .286, HC 48% wOBA .402 vs fastballs and sinkers. His very friendly price on yahoo and Fanduel make him very appealing. He does have a risk with a high whiff, so there is some risk.
Also Consider: M. Kepler
Diamondbacks vs Tampa Rays
A. Garcia DK – $3900/FD$3100/Yahoo$14
Favorite Ray to roster today is Avisail Garcia. He gets a Bad pitcher giving up huge power to RHBs. Plug in Garcia with his wOBA .402, HC 52%, .323 ISO and other RHB form the rays as this could get out of hand. Pham and Adames also checked in but Garcia HR prediction 19.5% is what I am all excited about in the matchup.
Also Consider: C. Walker
Nationals Vs Brewers
T. Shaw – DK $3000/FD$2400/Yahoo$7
Travis Shaw is not off to a great start in 2019, but the sleeping giant has to awake at some point and he gets a great chance here. Facing flyball RHP last season he averaged wOBA .389, ISO 306, And HC 48%. Look for him to make Mad Max mad early.
Also Consider: V. Robles
Marlins vs Chicago Cubs
Anthony Rizzo – DK $5200/FD$4300/Yahoo$21
Rizzo will be one of the higher prices 1stbase Batters today on all sites. He is worth paying for today. He checks in with 5 Stars today and A HR% of 17.6%. Rizzo started off a little slow but has been well worth his price the last 10 games. He has jumped towards the top of the MLB with his barrel speed. Making better contact with huge power vs a SP that throws sinkers routinely to LHBs.
Also Consider: P. O’Brien
Phillies Vs Cardinals
Matt Carpenter – DK $3800/FD$3200/Yahoo$14
Welcome to 2019 Matt Carpenter! Velasquez fared better in his last outing, drawing Matt Carpenter with these metrics he has the potential to hit two bombs here. Recently his bat has begun to get hot and making 54%hard contact. His wOBA is getting hot as well with .406 and a low whiff. Velasquez likes to throw his 94mph fastball to LHBs and then a sinker. Not a good idea today as Carpenter will should feast tonight.
Also Consider: B. Harper
Royals Vs Astros
Jose Altuve – DK$4400/FD$3900/Yahoo$19
Altuve gets a FB throwing pitcher in this matchup and Junis can be a dumpster fire on any given night. His price has him as one of the most expensive 2ndbasemen on all sites. Jose wOBA .423, ISO .320 and hitting hard contact with 47%. It also helps the Junis gives up a lot of Hard Contact when he is on the mound. Look out for bombs in Houston.
Also Consider: H. Dozier
Braves Vs LA Dodgers
Alex Verdugo – DK$4300 /FD$2700/Yahoo$13
Is Monday Verdugo a thing? If not let’s start it here with a 19% HR prediction rate. Small sample size but he should be in any LAD stack. Hitting hard contact 69%, wOBA .461, ISO .463 and a high exit velocity of 97% vs Gausman FB which he throws 60% of the time vs LHBs. He also makes great contact vs his splitter. I can see having a full LHB stack in the late slate play or even a low cost one off / high production play. Let’s gooooo!
Also Consider D. Swanson
