Top MLB DFS Picks

Pitcher Breakdown

Logan Gilbert ($10,500)

It's hard to top Logan Gilbert's 2.00 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in one of baseball's best parks for pitchers on any slate. Gilbert's road start at Wrigley was a little bumpy, but he still struck out six over 5.0 innings and is pacing for a career-high mark in strikeout rate (38.0%). The pitiful Texas Rangers offense still has a bottom-half team OPS (.702) and K rate (22.3%) over the last 30 days against righties before this date with a superb one.

Sonny Gray ($10,000)

The Cleveland Guardians' story for multiple years has been a weak offense that wasn't a great target in DFS since they didn't punch out. Against righties in the past month, the fealty (.676 OPS) has been joined by whiffs (23.0% K rate). As a result, I'll put Sonny Gray as the premium pivot off Gilbert in tournaments. Gray's 3.24 SIERA, 25.9% K rate, and 4.9% BB rate are pretty special themselves in a plus matchup.

Will Warren ($8,800)

Though this matchup with the A's isn't perfect, Will Warren is just a really good DFS pitcher for $8,800. Warren's massive 29.4% K rate is probably outperforming a 10.5% swinging-strike rate, but the sinkerballer also limits homer risk and blowup potential at just 0.72 HR/9. The Athletics are a boom-or-bust offense outside of Jacob Wilson, so there are a ton of punchouts available for Warren in this home start.

Brandon Walter ($8,600)

I targeted the Chicago Cubs with a lefty on Monday, and I'll do so again here. Chicago's 73 wRC+ and 23.8% strikeout rate against southpaws shows they're just not as good when shifting lefty bats like Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong to their least favorable split. Brandon Walter's early returns are also pretty sporty, per a 2.67 SIERA and 25.3% strikeout rate over his first 23.2 innings.

Stacks to Target

San Francisco Giants

Players to Target: Rafael Devers ($3,800), Heliot Ramos ($3,300), Mike Yastrzemski ($3,000), and Willy Adames ($2,900)

The overall results for Aaron Civale have been even worse since his trade to the Chicago White Sox. He's given up 1.50 HR/9 to produce a 5.63 SIERA with a minuscule 10.3% strikeout rate. The San Francisco Giants have benefitted from Rafael Devers' arrival across the board to post a top-12 OPS against RHP (.737) over the past 30 days. I want to prioritize right-handed bats when possible with strong winds out to left field on the South Side tonight.

New York Yankees

Players to Target: Aaron Judge ($4,700), Jazz Chisholm ($3,400), Ben Rice ($3,100), and Giancarlo Stanton ($3,000)

There will be better New York Yankees matchups to come this weekend, but the Bombers' 5.27-run implied team total sticks out like a sore thumb when they can smash anyone at home. New York draws Mitch Spence (3.79 SIERA) before MLB's 10th-worst bullpen by SIERA over the past 30 days (3.70). As usual, I prefer stacking them in tournaments without Aaron Judge for the purpose of differentiation, but the MVP candidate is a stellar (and likely popular) one-off option.

Los Angeles Angels

Players to Target: Mike Trout ($3,000), Jo Adell ($3,000), Nolan Schanuel ($3,000), and Logan O'Hoppe ($3,000)

I don't think I've ever seen every relevant bat for an offense at exactly $3,000, including Taylor Ward ($3,000) on a bit of a cold spell. If the Los Angeles Angels were a stronger offense, you could argue they're in the best matchup of the day. At MLB's fifth-friendliest venue for bombs, L.A. draws Jake Irvin (4.54 SIERA) and a reeling Washington Nationals bullpen. They're a contrarian stack that fits well with Gilbert.

Milwaukee Brewers

Players to Target: Christian Yelich ($3,500), Jackson Chourio ($3,400), Brice Turang ($3,000), and William Contreras ($2,900)

I'm perhaps a bit lower on the Milwaukee Brewers than consensus because Kyle Freeland's 3.54 xFIP away from Coors Field is quite good, and the sinkerballer limits homers (0.98 HR/9). Still, these four featured bats from the Brew Crew have a wRC+ north of 170 against lefties in the past month, so they are red-hot in Freeland's split. Add in an always-vulnerable Colorado Rockies bullpen, and Milwaukee is still very much on the table tonight.
