Billy McKinney Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

A Surprisingly Potent and Cheap Bat Tonight

The Cubs have the best bullpen in baseball over the last 30 days by either ERA (1.17) or FIP (2.92) and Alec Mills is not likely to go deep into this game, so we don’t want to go over-board with Mets’ bats even though they have a 4.61 implied run line that ranks them seventh on the board tonight. While LHBs have a wOBA and xwOBA within two points of .390 against Mills since last year, the projected Mets’ lineup includes just two LHBs who have a wRC+ above 100 and ISO above .200 against RHP since last year. One of them, no surprise, is Dominic Smith (124 wRC+, .215 ISO). The other, projects to bat fifth, which may get him two shots and Mills, and is one of the cheapest bats on the board. Billy McKinney has a 113 wRC+ and .255 ISO vs RHP and a 167 wRC+ over the last 30 days overall. McKinney costs less than $3K on either site, potentially making him one of the better values on the board. Additionally, switch hitters Jonathan Villar (94 wRC+, .121 ISO) and Francisco Lindor (93 wRC+, .152 ISO) project to bat atop the order tonight. Both have a wRC+ above 100 over the last 30 days and are probably better than their numbers against RHP since last season suggest.

Elite Value At This Salary

Toronto appears okay with using Billy McKinney at leadoff down the stretch (assuming Bichette remains sidelined with his concussion), and he’s priced near the minimum everywhere. So, he’s leading off, minimum salary, and facing the Orioles’ poor pitching staff. There’s a high likelihood of five at-bats, and even though I’m not convinced that McKinney is all that good, I’ll take my chances with that. Oh, and he also hit two home runs yesterday. Don’t over-think that one. He makes all the sense in the world as a core value tonight if he grabs that leadoff spot again.

Affordable Power Hunting

The Blue Jays have six batters in their projected lineup with an ISO above .200 against right-handed pitching, and they most of them are priced down across the industry. Baltimore is sending Chandler Shepard to the mound, backed up by a bullpen that has been one of the worst in the league all season long. Shepard is a minor league journeyman who hasn't been anything more than average at Triple-A. If Billy McKinney finds his way to the top of the lineup, he'll be a strong value in all formats on all sites, and even if lower in the lineup, his fly ball power makes him a viable tournament play.

Eric Sogard scratched Sunday; Billy McKinney replaces

Sogard has been scratched from the Toronto Blue Jays original confirmed lineup and will not start in the Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays due to a presently unspecified reason. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Billy McKinney, who will now play right field and slot into the seventh spot in the order, which shuffles quite a few players around in the Blue Jays batting order but, most notably, bumps Cavan Biggio all the way up to leadoff, respectively. Therefore, be sure to double-check the Starting Lineups page for the updated lineup as Toronto faces off against right-hander Yonny Chirinos at home this afternoon.

Value to be Had in Toronto Lineup

If you’re spending up on pitching tonight, the Blue Jays lineup has some cheap value bats that could help form your lineup. The Blue Jays are in Chicago to face Ivan Nova, who has had a rough year with a 6.29 ERA / 4.64 xFIP / 4.79 SIERA and a 9.5 K-BB%. With a 42.8% GB rate, Nova does a solid job keeping the ball out of the air, but his .343 xwOBA allowed suggests he does give up some loud contact. Nova has been more vulnerable vs. LHB with a .359 xwOBA allowed vs. lefties since 2018 as opposed to a .315 xwOBA allowed vs. righties. Justin Smoak ($3.9k on DK, .381 xwOBA vs. RHP since 2018), Rowdy Tellez ($3.7k, .354), Billy Mckinney ($3.4k, .325), Eric Sogard ($4.4k, .300) and Freddy Galvis ($4k, .279) are left-handed options in the Blue Jays lineup. Vlad Guerrero Jr. won’t have the platoon advantage vs. Nova but is just $4.1k and projects to bat 2nd; he has started to heat up with a .401 xwOBA over the past 10 days, Smoak has been the Jays’ hottest hitter with a .455 xwOBA over the past 10 days. The ‘Jays have a 4.4 implied total vs. Nova and the White Sox tonight.

Justin Smoak (neck) scratched Friday; Billy McKinney replaces

Smoak has been scratched from the Toronto Blue Jays original confirmed lineup and will not start in Friday’s matchup against the Cleveland Indians due to a sore neck that's now forced him to miss two consecutive games. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Billy McKinney, who will now handle the designated hitter duties and slot directly into Smoak’s vacated third spot in the order. However, the remainder of the Blue Jays lineup will stay intact offensively as they face off against right-hander Shane Bieber on the road this evening.

Going Back To The Well

They've been moving around this Blue Jays lineup a lot to start the season, but I'm hoping we see Billy McKinney hit leadoff tonight against Cashner. Cashner had a .365 wOBA with a .230 ISO and a 17.1% strikeout rate against left-handed hitters last season. He relies a lot on his fastball/sinker against left-handed hitters, and in a small sample size, McKinney has crushed fastballs and sinkers. Cashner looked bad in his first start against the Yankees, and I don't see any signs for him to improve this season. McKinney is off to a slow start, but had a .214 ISO with a .358 wOBA in 109 PAs against right-handed pitchers last season.

Good Value in the Outfield

The Blue Jays will start the game against Ryne Stanek and then square off against Yonny Chirinos. They are both talented righties, so the matchup isn't exactly what I would call exploitable. If we are playing anyone from Toronto, we are banking on their talent and their value. Billy McKinney stands out as a great value play on both FanDuel ($2,700) and DraftKings ($3,500). He owns a .364 xwOBA and a .194 ISO against right-handed pitching this season.

A Hit-or-Miss Offense with a Great Matchup

The Blue Jays are certainly not the most reliable offensive unit to target on a daily basis. However, they draw a fine matchup tonight against Yacabonis and the Orioles. Baltimore's starter had mediocre numbers in the minors this year and has shown next to nothing for a skill set in the major leagues. There's some nice mid-range value in this Toronto lineup, and Yacabonis has allowed a .422 wOBA to LHBs in his brief major league service time this year. Morales and McKinney are fine options, while I will also add in Lourdes Gurriel as a RHB at the top of the order. I like anyone from 1-5 in this order as part of a GPP stack tonight.

Power Hunting

Baltimore's Dylan Bundy has by far the highest home run rate of all qualified starters in the league this season at 2.19 HR/9. He allows a ton of fly balls to both sides of the plate with no ability to limit hard contact. The big difference in his skills is a high 31% K rate against righties that drops all the way to 17.7% against lefties. This puts Toronto lefty power high on the list tonight. My first look would be the first base duo of Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales, but we have a lot of good first base options, so I'm more likely to land on some savings in the outfield with Billy McKinney. McKinney had a .269 ISO at Triple-A this season and so far in his first 27 big league games has put up a solid .207 ISO and .352 wOBA with close to average plate skills, a 24.7% K rate and 8.2% walks. If he leads off tonight, there is power and run scoring upside for a very reasonable salary.
