“Bombs Away For Mom”
Written By: Nate Kelly “DFSshrek”
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.
Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox
JD Martinez OF – DK$4800/FD$4000/Yahoo$17
I love JD Martinez in this spot. His Price on Yahoo & Fanduel is low in my opinion. His .231 ISO is down some from last season, but he still has an wRC+ 132 vs LHP. JD trends well vs the pitch types he will see from Marco Gonzales which makes me think he will be on Double Bomb alert here!
Also Consider: J. Bruce
Philadelphia Phillies vs Kansas City Royals
Bryce Harper OF – DK$4700/FD$4600/Yahoo$15
I know Bryce Harper has been off to a slow start with philly. Today he gets Jacob Junis who only throws 3 pitches to LHBs. Junis is giving up ISO .209 to LHBs and Harper’s wOBA .490, ISO .403 suggest he is in a prime power spot vs a bad pitcher. He is still priced up on other sites, but on Yahoo he is a steal at $15.
Also Consider: C. Hernandez
Los Angeles Angels vs Baltimore Orioles
Brian Goodwin OF – DK$4700/FD$3800/Yahoo$15
I could have cheated here and wrote up Mike Trout, but Brian Goodwin actually ranked higher in HR prediction with 18.7% . He is hitting with a career best 51% hard contact. Goodwin has a crazy high wOBA, ISO, and exit velocity verse a pitch he will see 62% of the time. Goodwin also came in with the highest ranked 5 Star with a HR prediction 21.2%. Him and trout should start your stack and do not forget David Fletcher here either in that stack. I love the Angels today!
Also Consider: M. Trout
Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros
Alec Bregman 3B – DK $5100/FD$3400/Yahoo$23
Alec Bregman is off to amazing start of his 2019 season. His price has him as one of the top 3B on all sites. Career Best in wRC+ 148, wOBA .364 and ISO .265 vs the sinker pitch that he will see 63% of time today facing off verse a bad pitcher in a great prime hitting environment.
Also Consider: G. Springer
Chicago White Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays
Yoan Moncada 3B – DK $4700/FD$5000/Yahoo$17
Yoan Moncada verse Sanchez from Toronto is a matchup I will be looking at and other power LHBs from the White Sox as well. Sanchez is walking more batters and with some added stolen base potential. Moncada has .249 ISO and wOBA .404 vs RHP this season has me interested in this 5 star player.
Also Consider: Y. Alonzo
Detroit Tigers vs Minnesota Twins
Nelson Cruz OF – DK $4600/FD$3000/Yahoo$17
5 star Nelson Cruz checked in the 2ndhighest HR prediction today with 20.5%. He is facing A pitcher that throws two pitches to LHBs and Cruz is probably one of the best matchups today I found. Huge Power here with an ISO .658 and 69% hard contact verse a pitch he will see 50% of the time. Not to mention Norris is giving up .303 ISO to LHBs this season! The twins are my next favorite stack of the day here in this matchup.
Also Consider: B. Buxton
New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays
Tommy Pham OF – DK$4300/FD$3100/Yahoo$21
This is a spot where I find on slates that the data says use LHBs verse a certain pitcher. Tommy Pham falls in this category where his underlying data is popping. Lots of hard contact 46%, nice ISO .216 and CXwOBA .463. An HR prediction of 16.8% leads me to think he gets to M. Tanaka and will be a part of Tampa Stack today.
Also Consider: W. Adames
Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals
Gregory Polanco OF – DK$4200 /FD$3300/Yahoo$19
The only 5 stars for the Pirates today is Gregory Polanco. He is really becoming an elite hitter for the Pirates this season. wRC+, OBP, HR, and BB% are all new best and he is mashing with wRC+ 139 against RHPs. There is some risk with him facing a ground ball pitcher in D. Hudson, but Polanco trends very well verse his pitch types. Low owned bomb play here.
Also Consider M. Ozuna
