*If you don’t already play 3 lineups and 3 max entry contests daily, try using the teams provided in the stacks above to maximize upside and correlation in your MLB lineups.
- Pretty interesting slate we have here, a pretty balanced pitching pool in which there is only one pitcher above 10k on FanDuel and that is Yu Darvish. Darvish gets a nice matchup vs the St. Louis Cardinals who are an average team vs RHP, but have shown their struggles at times. Their OFs are no threat on offense, and Darvish had a nice start vs them last month. Darvish has been one of the league’s best, as other than his first start, he hasn’t allowed more than one run in any start. On top of that, He has a 6-1 record, winning 6 straight, sporting a 1.43 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. He’s just putting up video game numbers right now. Clear cut pay up option here.
- A cheaper GPP option I like that flashes upside is Dane Dunning. He is simply too cheap and although he hasn’t been fully stretched out to 6 innings, he flashes great K upside for his price. He currently owns a 14:2 K:BB Ratio, in 9.1 innings.
- In terms of bats, I like this Arizona Diamondbacks/San Francisco Giants game stack. Taylor Clarke struggles vs lefties, I love the Giants lefties in Alex Dickerson, Mike Yastrzmenski, and Brandon Belt. For the Diamondbacks, I like the righties here, Tim Locastro, Christian Walker, and Ketel Marte.
- My top stacks of the day include Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Seattle Mariners, and New York Mets.
- That’s my mini-breakdown for the day! I hope you guys enjoy, let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
