Mike Minor has pitched like an average lefty this season. His 19.4% strikeout rate is nothing special, while his 4.30 SIERA isn’t disastrous, either. That said, Minor is a fly ball pitcher allowing a hard contact rate over 41% on the year, as well. He’s conceded 15 home runs and has a wide platoon split. He’s held lefties down, but righties have a .339 wOBA and they’ve accounted for 13 of those dingers. Nobody would mistake the Orioles for an elite offense, but they do have some potent right-handed bats.
Quick Breakdown: Minor isn’t the worst option on the board, but he comes with plenty of risk.

Jimmy Yacabonis has a 20.4% strikeout rate along with a SIERA of 4.94 through 4 games, including 2 starts. He topped out at 71 pitches through 5 innings in his last start, so he may not be fully stretched out. Yacabonis is a right-hander with a 13% walk rate so far this season allowing a hard-hit rate of about 36%. While he’s cheap, he likely won’t go deep enough in this game to warrant serious DFS consideration.
Quick Breakdown: Fade Yacabonis in all formats.
Batter Grind Down
Texas
The Jimmy Yacabonis major league sample size is quite small, but so far he has looked like a low-strikeout, high-walks right-hander. The Rangers were a huge letdown last night, but we can’t let one game sway us that much. Yacabonis looks plenty hittable, and Texas does have some formidable bats. I’ll once again be looking at the lefties with the platoon edge like Joey Gallo, Nomar Mazara, Shin-Soo Choo and Rougned Odor. All 4 homers Yacabonis has allowed in his brief career have come to righties, so Elvis Andrus and Robinson Chirinos look like decent options, as well. Yet again, this is an excellent spot for the Rangers’ offense. Here’s hoping they can actually deliver this time.

Baltimore
Minor has allowed a fly ball rate of nearly 47% along with 42.4% hard hits against righties on the year. As a result, Orioles power righties profile well against him. Manny Machado is the top dog, followed by Adam Jones, Mark Trumbo and Jonathan Schoop. Trey Mancini and Danny Valencia are secondary options to consider, too. I’d stack a few Orioles in tournaments while leaving them as one-offs in cash games.

Marcus Stroman was a disaster early in the season, but he’s looked more like himself since coming off the DL. On the year, the right-hander has a 4.05 SIERA along with a strikeout rate nearing 18%. In 4 starts since his return, the right-hander has a 3.56 SIERA and a ground ball rate over 68%. Those numbers are more Stromanesque. While his bounce-back has been encouraging, Stroman is still going into Fenway to take on the Red Sox today. More often than not, that’s a non-starter when it comes to DFS.
Quick Breakdown: Stroman has looked better of late, but this isn’t the spot to be playing him.

Brian Johnson has pitched in 24 games this season, including 3 starts. He doesn’t seem fully stretched out yet, as the 77 pitches he threw in his last start were a season-high. The lefty doesn’t have much K potential (19% strikeout rate) and he’s a fly ball pitcher pitching in a homer-friendly ballpark. Johnson likely won’t pitch deep into this one, and the strikeout upside is minimal.
Quick Breakdown: No need to roster Brian Johnson today.
Batter Grind Down
Toronto
The Jays will take their hacks against Brian Johnson, a hittable lefty that allows plenty of fly balls. While he’s been effective in terms of stifling lefties in his career, he has allowed a .358 career wOBA to RHBs. Toronto isn’t an amazing offense, but they do have some decent right-handed bats worth targeting. Lourdes Gurriel has been hitting high in the lineup, so he’s a solid option at second base. Teoscar Hernandez, Randal Grichuk, Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales are viable as individuals or as a part of a Jays stack.

Boston
Marcus Stroman and his ground ball ways can make him tough to stack against, but the Red Sox are still the Red Sox. Stroman also has reverse splits, which plays right into the hands of several of Boston’s most quality hitters. I won’t be prioritizing them in this matchup like I normally would in a different one, but Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez and Xander Bogaerts are all viable if you can squeeze them in. Eduardo Nunez or Blake Swihart are decent cheapies if you need to save some salary, too. This is always a stack worth looking at in GPPs, especially when they won’t be the obvious chalk.

Masahiro Tanaka saw mediocre results in his first start off the DL, as he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits in 4.1 innings of work in Baltimore. He threw 80 pitches to get those 10 outs, and it sounds as though the Yanks are going to be cautious with bringing him along slowly. Tanaka has allowed 17 homers already this season, and targeting the Indians at Progressive Field is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Trevor Bauer has upped his game this year in a big way. The UCLA product has a stellar 31.8% strikeout rate on the year along with a tidy 3.05 SIERA. Bauer already has 8 double-digit strikeout games on the season. The 34.4% hard-hit rate is a tad high, but he’s only conceded 5 homers on the year. The Yankees have tons of power, but they’ve also whiffed at a 23.3% clip against righties as a team this season. Bauer also has one of the longest leashes in baseball.
Quick Breakdown: Bauer is a strong option today despite the tough matchup.
Batter Grind Down
NY Yankees
I respect what Trevor Bauer has been able to accomplish this season, but it’s hard not to be at least a bit tempted by the notion of getting some of the Yankee power bats at a fraction of their usual ownership. Bauer has slight reverse splits, so hunting for a homer with an Aaron Judge or a Giancarlo Stanton here makes some sense. Otherwise, though, I’m not all that interested in stacking the Yankees here, especially in cash games. Didi Gregorius, Aaron Hicks and Greg Bird look like decent low-owned GPP darts.

Cleveland
Masahiro Tanaka is a talented arm, but he’s also a reverse splits righty going into Cleveland to take on the high-powered Indians. Despite the splits, I would still feel comfortable playing lefties like Jose Ramirez, Michael Brantley and Francisco Lindor in this spot. Edwin Encarnacion is the top target from the right side of the plate here. Of the two offenses in this game, I’d prefer to stack up the Tribe.

This was originally going to be Zach Eflin, but Enyel de los Santos will get the call instead. The rookie made his debut last week against the Mets, and he wound up allowing 3 runs while punching out 6 in 6.1 innings of work. De los Santos whiffed 22.7% of hitters at the Triple-A level this season while allowing 10 home runs across 16 outings. Given his incredibly cheap price tag and his matchup with the Marlins at Marlins Park today, it’s safe to say de los Santos is going to be your chalky low-dollar SP today. Considering he’s min-price on DraftKings and not all that much more expensive on FanDuel, that’s probably chalk I’m going to eat. He has shown solid K potential at the lower levels and he’s one of the top prospects in a solid Philly organization.
Quick Breakdown: De los Santos is a strong SP2 option today in Miami.

Jose Urena isn’t a gas can, but his numbers don’t exactly jump off the page either. His 19.9% K-rate is unremarkable, though the 3.84 SIERA is solid. Urena has allowed 42.1% hard hits this season, though, which helps explain the high .302 BABIP against him. He’s kept the ball on the ground at a clip nearing 53%, and he draws a Philly team with the highest strikeout percentage in the league against right-handed pitching this season. He’s a guy that doesn’t have a ton of upside, but at his super cheap price point I think he’s a viable option in all formats. Pairing him with a high-priced ace still leaves you with enough salary space for some quality bats.
Quick Breakdown: Urena is another viable punt SP2 play.
Batter Grind Down
Philadelphia
While I have at least some interest in Urena, he’s still no ace. He has shown a particular vulnerability against lefties, so the Philly LHBs make some sense here. Marlins Park is suboptimal for hitting, but Odubel Herrera, Carlos Santana, Cesar Hernandez and Nick Williams could give Urena some problems. There’s always Rhys Hoskins and his power potential from the other side if you want to run it back with a righty. Overall, though, this isn’t one of the better hitting spots on the slate.

Miami
The Marlins come with their usual low implied team total and they’ll be taking their hacks against a decent prospect in Enyel de los Santos. Justin Bour typically grades out as a decent low-dollar option at first base, but it’s hard to click his name with so many other quality hitters at the position. Otherwise, my interest in Miami is minimal, once again.

The Nationals have been cautious about allowing Jeremy Hellickson to face opposing lineups a third time through, which probably helps explain his decent numbers this season. The 18.8% strikeout rate is forgettable, but the 3.95 SIERA is a big improvement on his 5.37 mark from 2017. He’s throwing his fastball less this season, and his ground ball rate has come up considerably. The Mets lineup opposing him today is a bad one, but Hellboy’s minimal strikeout upside combined with his short leash makes him a tough pitcher to fully trust here.

Corey Oswalt has pitched in 4 games, 3 of them starts. He has shown a mediocre strikeout rate around 19% while allowing 36.5% hard hits. Citi Field is a fine place to pitch, but Oswalt will have to do battle with a tough Nationals lineup featuring several excellent lefty sticks. Oswalt has allowed a .318 wOBA to lefties early on this year, and his K-rate dips about 6% against LHBs. Oswalt is cheap, but there’s a reason for that.
Quick Breakdown: Oswalt is an easy fade against Washington.
Batter Grind Down
Washington
As was the case yesterday with Zack Wheeler, the way to target Oswalt with Nats bats is with the lefties. Anthony Rendon is good enough to play in any matchup from the right side, but the lion’s share of my WAS interest lies with the lefties. That means Bryce Harper, Matt Adams, Juan Soto and Adam Eaton, most importantly. Daniel Murphy is a guy I’ll be fading until he shows signs of life, especially since he is still somewhat pricey. The Nationals are a strong stacking option on this slate.

NY Mets
The Mets draw Jeremy Hellickson, who has been more vulnerable against left-handed hitters over the course of his career. This season, Hellickson has conceded a .323 wOBA with 5 homers to lefties compared to a .269 mark with 2 homers to right-handers. Most of the Mets’ better hitters happen to be lefties, so they stack up pretty well in this matchup. The Nationals do have a solid bullpen to back Hellickson up, but New York should be able to put a few runs on the board here. The Washington offense is certainly the preferred target here, but I don’t hate playing a few Mets on the other side.
