Daily Fantasy MLB DFS Picks For DraftKings – 7/27/16
P – Jon Gray (vs. Baltimore Orioles): $10,500. The Orioles have been horrendous over the last seven games. They are ranked last in OPS with a .599. Meanwhile, Jon Gray has been absolutely filthy over his last few starts. In his last three starts, Gray has struck out at least eight batters and he has only given up three runs in 20.1 innings pitched. Over his last 11 starts, he owns a 2.93 ERA.
P – Matt Moore (vs. Los Angeles Dodgers): $7,500. Over his last nine starts, Moore has thrown at least six innings. He is facing a Dodgers’ lineup who has struggled mightily against left-handed pitching. In 831 at bats against lefties, the Dodgers are batting .218, with a .295 OBP, and a .350 slugging percentage.

Daily Matchups for 7/26/2016
Pitcher
STUD
Noah Syndergaard- Thor has absolutely dominated the Cardinals in the 1 start he had against them. He held them to a .067 BA (1 for 15) with 5 strikeouts and 4 groundouts. He is the best pitcher on the slate in my eyes. We are projecting Thor around 45- 50 FP today. This is obviously a play from yesterday as this game got postponed until today.
Chris Tillman- I absolutely love Tillman here tonight against the Rockies. He’s held them to zero hits in 15 ABs with 9 strikeouts. Tillman comes into this matchup with 127 IP, 104 hits, 48 BBs, 108 Ks, a 3.18 ERA, and 14 Wins tied which is tied for the ML lead. He’s coming off a terrific outing against the Yankees where he pitched 7 innings allowing 4 hits while striking out 7. He ended up with 51 FPs. Tillman has lasted at least 7 innings in his last 4 games and should be able to do the same again tonight.
MID RANGE
Marcus Stroman- He hasn’t faced the Padres much, but he has held them to 1 hit in 9 ABs with 3 Ks. The Padres struggle against RHP and Stroman is coming off his best outing of the season against Arizona where he lasted 8 innings, giving up 8 hits, with no walks and 6 Ks, the W and 51 FP on FD. I could see a similar outing out of him again tonight.
Steven Wright- This is more of a GPP option as he can easily give up too many runs to help a cash game. Wright has only seen the Tigers’ bats 10 times and has given up 3 hits but he is coming off his best game of the year where he pitched 8 innings, allowing only 4 hits, 1 walk, and 9 Ks against Minnesota and he took the win and 60 FP. He’s now got 4 straight wins.
VALUE
Sonny Gray- This should be an under-owned GPP play tonight. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s less than 5% owned. Gray has struggled this season with 101 IP, allowing 114, 38 walks, 80 Ks, and a massive 5.49 ERA. He’s actually dominated the Rangers in his career to a tune of .197 BA (29 for 147) with a 19.3 K% and 31 Ks and 4 HRs. I think he could be the sneaky play of the day.
Ervin Santana- Here’s another sneaky play that has a great matchup tonight. Santana gets to face the Braves who he has had success with. He’s held the current Braves’ roster to a .219 BA (25 for 114), with an 18.9 K%, 23 strikeouts and 22 groundouts but he has given up 6 HRs. I like him to be a sneaky pick.

Andrew Benintendi Could Be Promoted By The Boston Red Sox Very Soon
Following the promotion of Alex Bregman and David Dahl, Andrew Benintendicould be the next star prospect called up to the big leagues. The Boston Red Sox organization could use an everyday outfielder in left field, and Benintendi could be the answer.
Benintendi was drafted seventh overall by the Red Sox in the 2015 MLB Draft. Since stepping on the field as a Red Sox prospect, Benintendi has done nothing but impress. He has proven his bat is above average, possesses above average speed, and he has very good defense in centerfield. Over the past two years, he has started every game in centerfield, but the Red Sox have switched him to left field over the last two games. Many people believe this position change is prepping one of their top prospects for a move to the big leagues.

Yankees Get A King’s Ransom From The Chicago Cubs For Aroldis Chapman
Many people believed the New York Yankees were going to be in “sell” mode this trade deadline, but today might have confirmed that notion. Reports say the Yankees have dealt four-time all-star, Aroldis Chapman, to the Chicago Cubs for what is believed to be four players. These players include the Cubs’ best prospect, Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Adam Warren, and one other. I’m sure the Yankees weren’t too keen on rebuilding, but it is too hard to pass up this offer the Chicago Cubs made.

Robin Ventura has been White Sox manager longer than many Presidents have been in office. Yet despite being in charge of a losing team coming apart at the seams, he is still employed.
Meanwhile I am not happy with the Cubs looking to deal for Aroldis Chapman because of his domestic violence past.

Daily Matchups for 7/22/2016
Pitcher
STUDS
Honestly can see that Bumgarner gets rocked tonight by the Yankees. I’m not going to have much exposure or at least enough exposure to warrant a write up on why I want to use him. He’s given up a .292 BA in 96 ABs and I don’t think you should use him.
Masahiro Tanaka– He’s only faced the current Giants’ roster for 6 ABs but Tanaka has been almost lights out for the Yankees lately. They have come out of the All-Star Break winning 7 of their last 11 while the Giants are the exact opposite as they are losing more than winning. I think a lot of people will be looking towards MadBum but we can look elsewhere and save money.
Brandon McCarthy– He could very well be the surprise of the year and the comeback story if we continues his dominance. So far this season McCarthy has pitched 16 innings, he has 2 wins, 22 Ks, a 1.69 ERA and he’s coming off a game against the Diamondbacks where he pitched 6 innings, 8 Ks and 0 ERs. Lifetime against the Cardinals he has held them to a .175 BA (7 for 40) with a 15.9% K-rate, 2.3% walk-rate, 7 strikeouts, 14 groundouts. The Cardinals aren’t the same hitting team and he could go very under-owned tonight.
MID RANGE
Tanner Roark– He’s facing the Padres who struggle against right handed pitching and Roark has been phenomenal as of late. Lifetime against the Pads he’s held them to a .170 BA (9 for 53) with a 21.4% K-Rate with only a 3.6% W-Rate. Roark has struck out 12, gotten 12 groundouts, 8 flyouts, and only given up 1 HR.
Adam Conley– Conley gets to go up against the Mets who struggle against left-handed pitchers. Conley has done well against the Mets in his career by holding them to a .132 BA (5 for 38) with a 31.7% K-Rate, 4.9% W-Rate. HE will go very under-owned as there are other options and absolutely love him tonight.
Michael Fulmer– He’s having a tremendous year as he’s 9-2 while allowing only 63 hits, 28 walks, 77 Ks with a 2.13 ERA. He’s facing a reeling White Sox team that Fulmer has never seen before. He’s honestly had 1 bad game (19 FP) vs. Seattle back on June 22nd and the rest have been better than that. He’s had back to back 33 FP games and then 63 FP against Tampa on July 1. I won’t be surprised if Fulmer gets 30+ FP again tonight.
VALUE
James Paxton– There’s a reasono he’s a value play and why he’s only a GPP option. He’s facing the Blue Jays which is a lineup that could scare anyone and that’s what we need from a pitcher as he should go under-owned. Paxton has held the Jays to a .105 BA (2 for 19) with 4 Ks and 4 walks. He’s cheap and could provide that that salary relief we need.
Dan Straily– He hasn’t faced many of these D-Backs but he has faced 7 of them and struck out 5. Arizona is a weak hitting team and take them out of Chase Field, Straily could be the play of the night.

This slate is not a very good one. The pitching is not good and it might be for the best to just take a break from DFS and come back strong on Friday. Alas, we will still try to break down some of the plays we like tonight.
Daily Matchups for 7/21/2016
Pitcher
STUDS
Stephen Strasburg– Stras comes into tonight 13-0 with a 2.51 ERA along with 114 IP, allowing 80 hits, 33 walks, 138 Ks and a terrific matchup against the Dodgers. Lifetime against them he’s held them to a .193 BA (11 for 57) with a 23.3% K rate, 3.3% W Rate with 14 Ks and no home runs. He comes in at a hefty price but there’s a reason, he’s been dominating.
MID RANGE
Adam Wainwright– There’s not a ton of things to like about this slate but hopefully Waino is one of them. He’s facing a Padres’ team that struggles more against right handed pitchers and Wainwright has held them to a .226 BA (21 for 93) with a 16.8% K Rate. He’s struck out 17 and given up only 2 HRs.
VALUE
Julio Urias– He’s getting called up tonight and hasn’t faced the Nats much but he has faced them to a .188 BA (3 for 16). He’s a cheap option and has struck out 6 of the 16 batters he’s faced.
Jerad Eickhoff– GPP only. He’s held the Marlins to a .194 BA (7 for 36) with a 17.9% K rate and a 5.1% W Rate. He’s struck out 7 batters and given up only 1 HR. He’s again, only a tournament option.

TRADE RUMORS: Cleveland Indians Looking To Acquire Jonathan Lucroy
It is no secret the Cleveland Indians are looking to acquire an elite bat near the trade deadline. There were rumors the Tribe were going after Cincinnati Reds’ outfielder, Jay Bruce, but it looks like their attention is focused elsewhere at the moment. The latest rumor is the Indians are making a strong push to trade for Milwaukee Brewers’ catcher, Jonathan Lucroy.

Daily Matchups for 7/20/2016
Pitcher
STUDS
Carlos Carrasco – Normally it’s hard for us here at dailyrotohelp.com to suggest pitchers against the Kansas City Royals but they are banged up and aren’t playing well this year. Carrasco has been able to hold the Royals to a .245 BA (38 for 155) with 44 strikeouts, 37 groundouts, a 25.7% K Rate to go along with a miniscule 7% Walk Rate. He’s only allowed 6 HRs in the 155 ABs and comes in with a great opportunity to go 6+ innings, 6+ Ks and the potential for the W which is an extra bonus on FD.
Kyle Hendricks – When you think stud pitching you don’t think Hendricks but he has been pitching well as of late and could get the run support needed to take down the Mets. Lifetime against them, he’s held them to a .195 BA (8 hits in 41 ABs) with a 17.8% K-rate, 2.2% Walk rate and 8 Ks with no HRs given up. It’s not a great pitching slate to look for the Studs we had on Monday night so be prepared.
MID RANGE
Marcus Stroman – Stroman gets to to face a terrible D-backs team. He’s only faced 4 batters and hasn’t given up a hit. There’s not much else to go on here so use him with caution if needed.
Michael Pineda– Which Pineda shows up to this game? The one who struck out 16 of these Orioles’ bats last season, or the one who can give up 16 hits in 1 game? Lifetime against Baltimore Pineda has given up a .281 BA (36 for 128) with 41 Ks (30.1% K-Rate) with a 3.7% Walk Rate while giving up 7 HRs. He gets to face Chris Davis so that could be 1 HR to go along with 3-4 Ks just from him. He’s more of a fringe cash play and more heavily used for GPPs tonight.
VALUE
Jeremy Hellickson – It almost pains me to put his name as he’s not been great in the past, but it seems like he turned things around this season. He’s facing a Marlins’ team that is very up and down this season. Hellickson has held the Marlins to a .213 BA (26 for 122) with a 14.1% K-rate and a 3.9% Walk Rate. Hellickson has induced 31 groundouts, 20 flyouts, 18 strikeouts and 14 lineouts to go along with only 2 HRs.
Felix Hernandez – The real question will be “Which King Felix do we get tonight?” He’s fresh off the DL and gets a nice matchup against the sliding White Sox. When Felix was good he has held them to a .241 BA (26 for 108) with an 18.6% K-Rate, 5.1% Walk Rate with 22 strikeouts, 27 groundouts, 19 singles, and only 2 HRs.
