Jack Mayfield Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Value Play That Makes Everything Work

The Astros are a top stack on this slate, and with Correa banged up, Jack Mayfield should draw another start. He's been very decent in a small sample against lefties, and he's really cheap on all sites. Instead of punting catcher tonight, I'm looking at Mayfield as my cheapo play on this slate. Norris has a .352 wOBA with a .201 ISO and a 20.3% strikeout rate against left-handed hitters this season.

Astros have highest total on the afternoon slate in matchup with Cashner

Andrew Cashner has had a rough year with a 5.04 ERA , 4.91 xFIP, and 5.02 SIERA with a 8.2% K-BB and 1.54 HR/9. His Statcast numbers are even worse as he has a .372 xwOBA allowed, .521 xSLG allowed, 10.6% barrels/BBE and 91 MPH aEV. The Astros are missing three of their stars (Correa, Altuve, Springer) but still have plenty of good options today vs. Cashner. Alex Bregman (.391 xwOBA vs. RHP this year), Michael Brantley (.364), Josh Reddick (.336), Derek Fisher (.321), and Yuli Gurriel (.293) are all good options. Josh Reddick has been the ‘Stros hottest hitter with a .386 xwOBA allowed over the past 10 days, followed closely by Derek Fisher with a .374 mark. Fisher looks to be arguably the best value in the lineup, projected to leadoff at just $4.1k on Draftkings. Jack Mayfield (123 wRC+ in AAA this year) is also an intriguing play at just $2.7k on Draftkings. The Astros have a healthy 5.62 implied line vs. Cashner and the Orioles this afternoon.

Despite injuries, Houston still has some bats against struggling Lester (12 runs last two starts)

Jon Lester has allowed 12 runs (nine earned) over his last two starts and while his peripherals had been improving most recently, prior to these two starts, it wasn’t hard to see some regression coming. His strikeout rate (23.3%) remains above league average despite an 8.2 SwStr% and just 7.5% over the last month. He’s still sitting on a 2.68 ERA despite a 3.92 SIERA, 4.42 DRA and .364 xwOBA. Some of this basically comes down to unearned runs (six of his 20 allowed this year), while he’s actually been getting hit pretty hard too (89.2 mph aEV). His 11.0% Barrels/BBE is the third highest mark on the board. The Astros generally feast on LHP. That may not be so pronounced with Springer and Altuve out, but there are still some dangerous bats in this lineup. It starts with Alex Bregman (163 wRC+, .268 ISO), but among those in the projected lineup who have more than a few days of big league experience, none of the RHBs are below a 120 wRC+ or .178 ISO vs LHP over the last calendar year. The more interesting thing is that Lester has actually been much worse against LHBs over this time span (.386 wOBA vs .309) and this is actually confirmed by a 52 point separation by xwOBA too. For the Astros, Josh Reddick (145 wRC+, .235 ISO) has hit LHP well over the last 12 months. Those certainly aren’t his true talent numbers, but they’re worth something. Michael Brantley has not (79 wRC+, .069). Jack Mayfield and Garrett Stubbs are new arrivals that add minimum price tag value to Houston stacks.

It's What Else You Can Fit With Him

Assuming that Jack Mayfield is in the lineup tonight, he is one of the top value options on this slate. He's minimum salary across the industry. In 41 games in AAA this season, he has a .289 ISO with a .385 wOBA and a 123 wRC+. He has a very low strikeout rate but hasn't projected to be a top prospect. Lester has been a lot better this season, but his xFIP and SIERA suggest he's still getting a little lucky on that 2.68 ERA. Mayfield is so cheap that the matchup doesn't matter as much to me, and I'm just playing him for what I can play around him.

Savings In The Middle

There is a lot of high end offense to spend up on tonight, and luckily, we have some good salary saving options that can make it all work. The Astros Jack Mayfield is minimum salary on most sites, and should be in the lineup for Houston tonight, hopefully with a decent lineup spot. He's not a prospect at 28-years old, but he's a guy with solid contact skills and a fly ball lean that should translate well to the majors. He was batting .283 on just 15.7% K with 47% fly balls in his first 41 games at Triple-A this season. Jon Lester is basically an average pitcher at this point in his career, and if the minor league numbers even partially carry over, Mayfield is much better than a minimum salary bat.
