Tampa Bay Rays Offense (2015)
vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.326 (Rank: 7) — Strikeout Rate: 22.1% (Rank: 23)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.347 (Rank: 4) — Strikeout Rate: 20.4% (Rank: 11)
Pitches per PA: 3.82 (Rank: 16)

Analysis: I’ve been avoiding Buehrle all season. While he has had some solid real life starts, his low strikeout rate really limits his upside in daily fantasy. Over the last month of play, he has only struck out 8.7% of the batters that he has faced. He is an easy pitcher to avoid tonight against the Rays, who have the seventh-highest team wOBA against left-handed pitching this season.

Pitcher Rating: 45.2

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.367 (Rank: 2) — Strikeout Rate: 19.4% (Rank: 7)
Pitches per PA: 3.86 (Rank: 9)

Analysis: Ramirez has quietly pitched very well over the last month of play, posting a 2.85 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 24.4%. The issue tonight is his matchup. The Blue Jays are currently tied with the Royals for the number one seed in the American League, so they will have their usual starters back in the lineup for tonight’s game. Given the difficult matchup, I will be avoiding Ramirez in both cash games and tournaments.

Pitcher Rating: 59.9

Batter Grind Down

Toronto

Even though the Blue Jays should have their starters back in the lineup tonight, their hitters don’t stand out as elite fantasy options. They are overpriced for their matchup against Erasmo Ramirez, who has been in great form recently. Consider the Blue Jays secondary options tonight.

Tampa Bay

The Rays draw a decent matchup tonight against Mark Buehrle. Buehrle has allowed a .319+ wOBA to both left and right-handed hitters and he sports one of the lowest strikeout rates of any starter in baseball.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.296 (Rank: 23) — Strikeout Rate: 14.4% (Rank: 1)
Pitches per PA: 3.75 (Rank: 24)

Analysis: Garcia has been in good form recently, posting a 3.56 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 17.9%. The problem is that the Cardinals have nothing to play for, as they have already clinched the number one seed in the National League. They will likely treat the next few games like Spring Training. The starters will pitch a few innings and the hitters will see a few at-bats. However, from a fantasy perspective, this is a situation to avoid.

Pitcher Rating: 79.3


Julio Teheran : FD: $8,400 — DK: $7,600

Pitching Stats:

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.340 (Rank: 6) — Strikeout Rate: 20.7% (Rank: 14)
Pitches per PA: 3.83 (Rank: 14)

Analysis: Teheran has not been in the best of form over the last month, posting a 4.84 SIERA with a walk rate of 11.2%. His fantasy appeal tonight hinges on what the Cardinals’ lineup looks like. If St. Louis decides to give their everyday players a night off, Teheran could be an intriguing tournament option. However, if the Cardinals roll out their usual lineup, Teheran becomes an easy avoid in all league formats.

Pitcher Rating: 60.5

St. Louis

As mentioned above, the Cardinals have nothing to play for, as they gear up for another playoff run. Even if their everyday starters are in the lineup, there is no guarantee that they will see a full complement of at-bats.

Elite Plays:

Atlanta

I’ve been avoiding the Braves’ offense for the better part of a month now and so far, it has paid off. They are one of the worst offenses in baseball against left-handed pitching and they draw a difficult matchup tonight against Jaime Garcia.

Pitches per PA: 3.83 (Rank: 15)

Analysis: Weaver and the Angels need a win tonight if they are going to have any chance of catching the Astros for the final Wildcard spot in the American League. While we want to target players in games that matter, that doesn’t mean that we should go out of our way to target Weaver in a bad matchup. He has been in bad form and the Rangers have been one of the hottest offenses in baseball over the last few weeks.

Pitcher Rating: 44.2

2014 – 2015: IP: 123.0 — SIERA: 4.09 — ERA: 4.61 — K%: 15.2% — BB%: 8.1% — HR/9: 0.4

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.336 (Rank: 7) — Strikeout Rate: 17.1% (Rank: 2)
Pitches per PA: 3.79 (Rank: 21)

Analysis: The Rangers need one win or one Astros’ loss to win their division. Once that happens, they will have nothing to play for, as their seed would remain the same regardless of what happens after that. That means that we have at least one more game to target the Rangers in daily fantasy. Unfortunately for Perez, he is not the Rangers’ player that I was referring to. He has been in mediocre form and he draws a difficult matchup tonight against the Angels.

Pitcher Rating: 52.8

Batter Grind Down

LA Angels

The Angels are currently a game behind the Astros for the last Wildcard spot in the American League. Their best case scenario is for them to win tonight and for the Astros to lose tonight. That would wrap up the division for the Rangers and give the Angels two easier games to end the season. I’m all for targeting players in meaningful games and with the Angels in a must-win situation tonight, I will be heavily targeting the right-handed hitters in this lineup.

Texas

The Rangers still have plenty to play for, as they only need one more win to wrap up their division. They have a high team total tonight, as they square off against Jered Weaver, who has not pitched well since returning from injury. Left and right-handed hitters are both in play in this favorable matchup at home.

Analysis: Simon has been one of the most hittable pitchers in baseball. Over the last month of play, he has a 5.10 SIERA with a walk rate of 8.2%. There is no reason for him to be on your radar tonight against the White Sox. He should be avoided in both cash games and tournaments.

Analysis: Sale has given up a lot of runs recently, but his indicators still look good. Over the last month of play, he has a 2.93 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 27.5%. Even though the White Sox don’t have anything to play for, that actually works in Sale’s favor, as they aren’t going to save him for the playoffs. He could realistically throw 110-120 pitches if he is pitching well. Throw in a favorable matchup against a slumping Tigers’ offense and we have ourselves a terrific play. He is my favorite pitcher on the board tonight, as the Cubs will likely treat Jake Arrieta start as a tune up.

Pitcher Rating: 94.1

Batter Grind Down

Detroit

The Tigers draw one of the worst matchups on the board tonight, as they face Chris Sale in his own backyard. In addition to an elite strikeout rate, Sale has held both left and right-handed hitters under a .280 wOBA.

Chicago White Sox

The White Sox don’t have anything to play for at this point of the season, but anyone that is in the lineup can be expected to see a full complement of at-bats against Alfredo Simon tonight. Jose Abreu and Adam Eaton are both on my radar in this one.

The Royals are still battling with the Blue Jays for the top seed in the American League, so we can expect their usual starters to be in the lineup tonight.

Pitcher Rating: 75.7

Kansas City

The Royals are still fighting for home field advantage throughout the American League playoffs, so we can expect their everyday starters to be in the lineup tonight. They draw a favorable matchup tonight against Ervin Santana, who has allowed a .336 wOBA to left-handed hitters.
