Offenses to Target for FanDuel Stacking

White Sox against Rick Porcello (R)

The White Sox have been struggling lately and Rick Porcello may be just the trick to turn things around. Multiple White Sox have pummeled Porcello in the past, including Adam Eaton, Melky Cabrera, Avisail Garcia, and Jose Abreu. The last time they faced Porcello they attacked him for six runs (five earned) over two innings. This is Porcello's first start from being activated off the DL (tricep). He's always been hit or miss, so I expect a big run inning to be the key source of the FanDuel production.

Pirates against Chris Narveson (L)

The hot Pirates get a tasty opportunity here, facing Chris Narveson in his first start of the year after replacing the injured Kendry Flores. It's his first start since 2012 with Milwaukee, although he did pitch in Japan last year. The Pirates have a .730 OPS vs LHP, which is tops in the NL. Multiple Pirates are in play here, including Andrew McCutchen, Jung-Ho Kang, Aramis Ramirez, and Michael Morse.

 

DFS Starting Pitcher to Consider for FanDuel

Chris Archer (SP, TB) - $11,800

Fresh off a masterpiece one-hitter at Houston Chris Archer returns home to face Minnesota, a team he has dominated in his career (24.1 innings, 2 ER). Although he has a 3-6 record at home, I like Archer's chances tonight to move closer to .500 versus a rookie in his fourth start (Tyler Duffey). Archer is my favorite of the aces tonight.

Shelby Miller (SP, ATL) - $8,300

Tonight is the night the madness stops. Shelby Miller (5-10) has a 17-start winless streak to go along with a 2.50 ERA. At Turner Field he has a 2.01 ERA (12 GS). The Rockies have been scuffling on the road, and with the deflated price I'm using Miller in tourney formats.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Miguel Montero (C, CHC) - $2,800

Don't want to spend too much on the C spot so Montero is a solid fit here. He's been the #1 catcher the past week and is back in the lineup full-time with Jorge Soler out. Jake Peavy has struggled as well, allowing nine earned runs in his last two outing.

Adrian Gonzalez (1B, LAD) - $3,100

I didn't want to spend a fortune at 1B and A-Gonz fits the bill. His struggles lately (.195 over 41 AB) are the cause of his low price, but the Dodgers just finished up a tough series in Houston vs Mike Fiers, Scott Kazmir, and Lance McCullers. Gonzalez has a higher AVG on the road in 2015 and is hitting .306 vs LHP. Take the discount.

Michael Morse (1B, PIT) - $2,200

My personal favorite play if you're short on cash, Morse plays into the Pirates stack and has crushed Narveson in his career (.667, 3 HR).

Enrique Hernandez (2B, LAD) - $2,200

I stand by my theory that people don't realize this is Kike. Playing everyday over Joc Pederson these days, he's been mashing vs LHP with a .381/.444/.730 line. He's hitting .327 in the month of August and comes at a bottom barrel price.

Nick Castellanos (3B, DET) - $3,300

Castellanos has been crushing the ball lately (3 HR in past week) and dominates LHP. His .351/.410/.553 vs lefties is superb and he's been a much better hitter at Comerica in 2015.

Freddy Galvis (SS, PHI) - $2,500

Galvis is working on a six-game hitting streak and is 3-for-6 lifetime versus Bartolo Colon, who has a 6.18 ERA in the past month. Never hurts to save at SS either.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Stephen Piscotty (OF, STL) - $3,300

The #18 hitter in Yahoo leagues over the past two weeks, Piscotty has crushed lefties in his limited AB (28) with a 1.092 OPS and gets Patrick Corbin tonight.

Odubel Herrera (OF, PHI) - $3,100

As mentioned earlier, I am fading Colon today and Herrera fits that bill. He's batting .375 over his past 24 AB and is a great source for speed.

Yasiel Puig (OF, LAD) - $2,700

Yes Puig is a frustrating player but now is the time to buy. Puig is hitting .364 in the past week and has a .877 OPS vs LHP. He also has a HR to his name versus David Holmberg. This price will rise by next week, book it.

Jonny Gomes (OF, ATL) - $2,400

This pick is solely if you're low on funds and you'll need to check the lineups, but Gomes has a .837 OPS vs LHP with Yohan Flonde (L) on the mound.
