Henry Owens Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Henry Owens last pitched on September 5th at AAA. The Yankees are likely to see the Boston bullpen very early, which gives analysis of this matchup less value, but LHBs (.398 wOBA) have actually hit Owens better than RHBs (.340 wOBA) through 80 major league innings. Gary Sanchez (129 wRC+, .385 ISO career vs LHP) has finally hit his first slump (42 wRC+ last seven days), but is still likely the top Catcher on the board and top play here. Starlin Castro (99 wR+, .166 ISO vs LHP this season) costs just $2.1K on FanDuel.

Henry Owens has struggled against both LHBs and RHBs in his career. His xFIP of 6.81 versus LHBs points towards Detroit Tigers LHBs being sneaky good options today. However, the Tigers lack any LHBs of note, and Victor Martinez will be batting right-handed today against Henry. Owen’s xFIP is still worth targeting with any one of the Tiger’s RHBs, beginning with J.D. Martinez and his wRC+ of 157 versus lefties.

Henry Owens has walked and struck out seven through two starts with an 88 mph fastball and now owns a 4.62 FIP/4.60 ERA through 72.1 major league innings. Batters from either side have hit him well. Brett Lawrie may be the top Chicago bat vs LHP with a 134 wRC+ and .190 ISO since last season. He also has a 311 wRC+ over the last week and doesn't project to be highly owned in the 6th spot with an average price tag. The other hot bat in the lineup is Jose Abreu (282 wRC+ last seven days), but he's been a reverse platoon player with just a 77 wRC+, .119 ISO vs LHP since last season. Todd Frazier carries a 127 wRC+ and .321 ISO vs LHP since 2015 and carries a similar cost to the previous two on DraftKings at around $4K. This is a spot where neither the offense or opposing pitcher shine brightly.
