Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel
Cam Schlittler, SP - NYY ($11.2K DK/$10.9K FD)
Cam Schlittler gets the matchup of the day tonight against the Rockies outside of the Mile High City. Schlittler is the clear SP1 tonight because of the matchup and form. He will be in most of my lineups tonight in GPPs and cash. He is projected for a 27.5% K% and 6.43 strikeouts in this matchup. The Rockies have a 3.4 implied run total tonight in this matchup.
Schlittler has been incredible this season and most likely will win the AL Cy Young Award. He is in tremendous form with a 2.77 xFIP, 32.0% K%, 0.88 WHIP, and a 0.56 HR/9 over the last 30 days. The Rockies have a 21.4% K%, .740 OPS, and a 93 wRC+ against RHP during that span. The Rockies have a 23.5% K%, .698 OPS, and a 93 wRC+ on the road this year. I love this spot for Schlittler.
Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel
Los Angeles Dodgers (Model-Projected IRT of 5.7 runs) vs. Nick Lodolo
The Dodgers will square off against southpaw Nick Lodolo and the Reds tonight at home in Dodger Stadium. It will be warm tonight, with temperatures in the 90s at first pitch, something we tend not to normally see in this area. The Dodgers have the highest implied run total in my model tonight and the highest stack grade of all the teams in my model.
Nick Lodolo has struggled this season, pitching to a 4.81 xFIP, 1.52 WHIP, and a 1.69 HR/9. He has a 1.50 WHIP, 2.70 HR/9, 51.7% FB%, and a 37.9% Hard Hit% over his last two starts. The Dodgers have a .743 OPS and a 105 wRC+ this season against the split. Lodolo has struggled with both sides of the plate, making a full stack my preferred option tonight.
Favorite Targets: Teoscar Hernandez, Max Muncy, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Tommy Edman, Miguel Rojas, Alex Call
Top MLB DFS Hitter for DraftKings, FanDuel
George Springer, OF - TOR ($4.9K DK/$3.2K FD)
The Blue Jays will continue their road trip in Sacramento tonight against the Athletics, and Springer is red hot. He has a .512 wOBA, .280 ISO, and a 1.201 OPS against RHP over his last 27 ABs. Jack Perkins has allowed a .376 wOBA, .167 ISO, and a .811 OPS against RHH during that span. Springer is built for this ballpark and will leave the yard tonight.
