Monday night saw the unfortunate riots in Baltimore which caused the postponement of the Orioles-White Sox game at Camden Yards. That's an important reminder to check your DraftKings lineup until the last minute, as it is crucial to your DFS success.
Monday's postponement also has a strong impact on who to pick and stack for your DraftKings lineups on Tuesday. Let's take a look.
Stacking Offenses to Target for DraftKings DFS
Orioles vs Hector Noesi
Let's try this again. He was Monday's scheduled starter and pitches in the hitter-friendly confines of Camden Yards. A fly ball rate of nearly 68 percent bodes well for power threats Adam Jones ($4,500) and Chris Davis ($4,500). Noesi's .231 BABIP means that some balls are going to go down for hits as well.
Diamondbacks vs Kyle Kendrick
Colorado starter Kyle Kendrick has an absurdly high 25% FB/HR ratio right now and you can take advantage of that with Paul Goldschmidt ($5,600) and Mark Trumbo ($4,300).
Cardinals vs Severino Gonzalez
Making your major league debut against St. Louis's offense is not ideal. Stacking your lineup with top-of-the-order hitters Matt Carpenter ($4,800), Jason Heyward ($4,500) and Matt Holliday ($4,600) could be.
DFS Pitchers To Consider for DraftKings
Michael Wacha ($8,300) vs Phillies
Wacha hasn't struck out many guys in 2015, but his control is impeccable and he's stranded 98.8% of his baserunners this season. Did I mention the Phils are last in the league in runs and 29th in average?
Tyson Ross ($9,200) vs Astros
No team has struck out more times this season than Houston. Ross has an elite 11.12 K/9 and Petco Park's dimensions will help, too.
DFS Catchers To Consider for DraftKings
Yadier Molina - vs Phillies ($4,000)
Molina is hitting .364 at Busch Stadium so far this season and should fare well against Gonzalez in his Big Leagues debut.
DFS Infielders To Consider for DraftKings
Mark Trumbo - 1B - vs Rockies ($4,300)
Few hit mistake pitches out like Trumbo. Trumbo hits in a great park and faces a fly-ball pitcher which make this a pretty appealing matchup.
James Loney - 1B - vs Yankees ($4,100)
Loney is off to a good start back from injury and Adam Warren is fairly unproven. Loney should have a couple hits in this o
Dee Gordon - 2B/SS - vs Mets ($4,300)
Rafael Montero is being recalled from the minor leagues and Gordon should get a few at bats against him. He should be able to get on base, steal a base and score a run at least.
Manny Machado - 3B - vs White Sox ($4,100)
Machado has hit .287/.343/.503 over his last 10 games and could and should join the expected hit parade against Noesi, especially if he bats second in the order.
Jose Iglesias - 3B/SS - vs Twins ($3,400)
Iglesias is on a five-game hitting streak, even hitting a homer in Monday’s game, and is hitting nearly .400 on the season. He should keep his hot hitting going against Pelfrey.
DFS Outfielders To Consider for DraftKings
Steven Souza - OF - vs Yankees ($4,900)
Souza has power. He’s hit three homers with a .485 slugging percentage over his last 10 games and could definitely go deep against Adam Warren and New York.
Jay Bruce - OF - vs Brewers ($4,200)
Bruce’s hits have come few and far between recently, but he’s hit two big home runs in that cold span. He’s facing a fly-ball pitcher in Kyle Lohse on Tuesday, so he's a solid play.
Jimmy Paredes - 3B/OF - vs White Sox
In his first eight games, he’s only hitting .408/.429/.850 with three homers and nine RBIs. As long as Baltimore is playing him and he’s facing Noesi, ride the wave and reap the benefits.
