Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel
Ryan Weathers, SP - NYY ($8.5K DK/$8.8K FD)
Ryan Weathers is my top option on the bump tonight. He will square off against the Cardinals at Yankee Stadium tonight, where there will be a slight wind blowing in. The Cardinals have the lowest implied run total tonight at 3.4 runs.
Weathers has been excellent this season, pitching to a 3.27 xFIP, 26.1% K%, and a 1.24 WHIP. Over the last month, he has a 2.87 xFIP, 24.3% K%, and a 1.35 WHIP. The Cardinals have struggled with southpaws. They have a 22.2% K%, .624 OPS, and a 75 wRC+ over the last 30 days, including a .479 OPS and a 37 wRC+ over the last 14. Fire up Wetahers as SP1 in all formats tonight.
Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel
Miami Marlins (Model-Projected IRT of 5.0 runs) vs. Grant Holmes
The Marlins will head to Truist Park for their set with the Atlanta Braves. They will face Grant Holmes tonight, who has had his ups and downs this season. The LHH in this lineup are on fire, and that is the main reason I love them in this spot against the splits of Holmes.
Holmes has pitched to a 4.84 xFIP, 1.38 WHIP, 1.46 HR/9, 42.0% FB%, and a 40.2% Hard Hit% over the last month. The Marlins will get a ballpark upgrade tonight playing on the road and are red hot against RHP. They have a .771 OPS and a 110 wRC+ against the split over the last 30 days. I love the Marlins tonight as an unowned GPP stack.
Favorite Targets: Griffin Conine, Kyle Stowers, Joe Mack, Owen Caissie
Top MLB DFS Hitter for DraftKings, FanDuel
Hunter Goodman, C/OF (FD Only) - COL ($6.2K DK/$4.1K FD)
Freddy Peralta will be making his debut for the Rays tonight. He has struggled this season, especially with RHH. He has allowed a .431 wOBA, .286 ISO, and a 1.063 OPS over the last two starts to the split. Goodman has a .413 wOBA, .354 ISO, and a .979 OPS over his last 51 ABs against RHP. He's been better on the road, but this is a premier spot for him.
