Dietrich Enns Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Dietrich Enns was picked up by the Twins in the Jaime Garcia trade from the Yankees last week. The 26 year-old lefty is nowhere to be found on prospect lists and not even available on either site, but it's still worth examining the matchup from the Milwaukee standpoint. The Brewers actually have a lower HR rate vs LHP (15.3 HR/FB vs 18.4 HR/FB) than RHP despite the perception that it's a lineup full of RH power. That may have been true in the past and still is to some extent, but Travis Shaw and Eric Thames have made it a more balanced lineup this season. Orlando Arcia bumps up to second in the lineup tonight and it's certainly not his performance against LHP this year that's the cause for this move (84 wRC+, .082 ISO). However, he does have a 228 wRC+ and 40 Hard% over the last week and a reasonable cost on either site. Ryan Braun, Domingo Santana, Jesus Aguilar, and Keon Broxton all have a an ISO above .200 vs LHP this year, Broxton the only one of that group with a wRC+ below 120. While Braun (165 wRC+, 40 Hard%) is the only one of the four with a wRC+ above 89 over the last week, each of the other three (Santana, Aguilar, Broxton) all have a hard hit rate of at least 50%. Aguilar may be of particular value on FanDuel for just $2.1K. Of course, in order to have value, the Brewers need to make contact. They strike out a lot against pitchers from either side and Enns has had a strikeout rate above 19.5% at every stop as a professional where he's had more than six innings since 2012. Important to note that on the other side of this matchup, Zach Davies has gone seven innings in four straight with a 19.3 Hard%, but Max Kepler, Brian Dozier, Eddie Rosario and Miguel Sano all have an ISO above .200 against RHP this year and all except Sano have a wRC+ above 160 over the last week. All except Dozier have a hard hit rate above 40% over the last week.
