This article is designed to be a quick-access look at some pivotal stats and matchups for the specified daily slate, with FanDuel and DraftKings prices included. All batters are projected starters and should be confirmed in the lineup before finalizing your rosters. In some instances players do not have sufficient at-bats or innings pitched, therefore a column will be left blank.

Here is a legend of the sortable columns provided:

wOBA – Batter’s two-year wOBA vs. handedness of Pitcher
ISO – Batter’s two-year ISO vs handedness of Pitcher
P wOBA – Pitcher’s two-year wOBA vs handedness of this Batter
P xFIP- Pitcher’s two-year xFIP vs handedness of this Batter
P HR/9 – Pitcher’s two-year Home Run per 9 inning rate
Park HR Rate – 1-60 rank of home runs allowed to that handedness of the batter over last five years (1 being best, 60 being worst for hitters)

Notes & Thoughts

There are 28 teams playing in tonight’s slate of MLB games. I can identify about 5-6 really top notch aces on the mound. However, after that there is a severe drop off in pitching. There are some serious gas cans on the mound tonight too.

Success on this slate is going to depend on how you approach it. I think cash games are the way to go, because the tournaments will be filled with each stack 100 times over. In cash, you can load up with two aces and find cheap hitting vs. some of these terrible pitchers.
