Offenses to Target for FanDuel Stacking

Angels RHB versus Felix Doubront

Doubront has been garbage for much of the season and he's only gotten worse in September. The Angels are hitting the ball pretty well right now and their right-handed bats have a juicy opportunity tonight. For the season, Doubront is allowing a .377 wOBA and .517 slugging percentage to right-handed batters.

Honorable Mention: Blue Jays RHB versus Chris Tillman

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Zack Greinke is the best pitcher on the board tonight, but he's quite expensive and the lingering calf injury scares me, as I think he'll be on a short leash.

Lance McCullers (SP, HOU) - $8,700

Dollar for dollar, I think McCullers is the best value on the board today. He's very reasonably priced, has pitched well in his last few outings (even though his W-L record wouldn't indicate that) and he gets a major park upgrade tonight pitching in spacious Safeco Field. He takes on a fairly weak Mariners lineup that strikes out in nearly 26% of their at-bats against right-handed pitching and has a team wOBA that is sub-.300. For the season, McCullers is averaging 9.18 K/9 and just 0.635 HR/9.

Corey Kluber (SP, CLE) - $9,700

Klubot has been a little shaky in the second half of the season, but I still think he has a chance to outperform his price-tag tonight. The home runs per nine stats have headed in the wrong direction, but he's still excellent at limiting base runners (1.071 WHIP) and he averages the most strikeouts per nine innings of any pitcher on the board tonight at 10.12. The Twins team he faces is striking out in 21% of their at-bats against RHP with a .288 wOBA.

Honorable Mention: Hector Santiago (SP, LAA) - $7,600

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Salvador Perez (C, KC) - $2,300

Since I'm less than floored by the catching options today, I'm going with a viable punt in Sal. He faces a pitcher that doesn't miss a ton of bats and therefore could see ample RBI opportunities. While his .327 wOBA against RHP isn't super impressive, he does handle righties better than LHP and he does so with some pop - .458 slugging percentage.

Eric Hosmer (1B, KC) - $3,000

Continuing the Royals theme, Hoz is a nice play tonight as well. He has an incredible weight on-base average against RHP this season (.394) and can hit for power as well (.522 slugging percentage.) Wrigley is also a significant park upgrade for hitters, as well.

Jason Kipnis (2B, CLE) - $2,900

It feels like stealing when you can roster Kipnis at this price against a sub-par right-handed pitcher in Phil Hughes. Kipnis' numbers against RHP are very strong, and he's a nice cash game play with a .404 wOBA and .500 slugging percentage.

Justin Turner (3B, LAD) - $3,300

Turner has great lineup value, faces a pitcher that doesn't miss too many bats and has a very, very strong wOBA - .410 to be exact - against right-handed pitching this season. His slugging percentage at .553 is particularly strong in that category as well.

Marwin Gonzalez (SS, HOU) - $2,400

The shortstop options remind me a lot of the catching options - lots of meh. As such, I'll "punt" with Gonzalez, who faces a middle of the road pitcher and has pretty good numbers against southpaws with a .343 wOBA and .439 slugging percentage.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Ben Revere (OF, TOR) - $2,800

Revere just might be my favorite cash game play (along with Kipnis) of the evening when you look at the big picture. He's at the top of a lineup that should smash Chris Tillman, is a stolen base threat and his .330 wOBA against RHP is fairly good, too.

Michael Brantley (OF, CLE) - $3,700

With all the money I'm saving at catcher and shortstop, I've got no problem paying up for Brantley tonight. With a lot of major bats sitting and resting for the playoffs, he might be the best combination of batting average and power available.

Shin-Soo Choo (OF, TEX) - $4,000

Choo has to deal with Verlander tonight, but he's got strong figures in all the categories I'm targeting - .381 wOBA, .202 ISO and a .484 slugging percentage.

 

Good luck with your FanDuel and DFS lineups RotoBallers!
