Josh Phegley Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

A’s are an intriguing stack tonight in O.co vs. PLR Beeks

The A’s will see an opener tonight versus the Rays (Andrew Kittredge) and then project to face Jalen Beeks. Don’t let Beeks’ 1.86 ERA over the past 30 days fool you; he has a 4.89 SIERA, 4.93 xFIP, 6.3% K-BB over that same time frame. A’s bats are priced down a bit on Draftkings possibly due to being in pitcher friendly O.co, but they’ve been a great stack option on the year vs. LHP with a 2nd best 129 wRC+ vs. LHP this year. Matt Olson (.390 xwOBA vs. LHP this year), Khris Davis (.376), Jurickson Profar (.357), Ramon Laureano (.357), Chad Pinder (.355), Matt Chapman (.354), Stephen Piscotty (.353) and Josh Phegley (.341) are all options in the A’s lineup tonight. Marcus Semien (.303) will lead off for the A’s and is also in play. All Oakland bats are priced at just $4.4k or less on Draftkings tonight. Matt Olson has been the A’s hottest hitter over the past 14 days with a .447 xwOBA, followed by Semien with a .354 mark. A’s hitters will also have the benefit of a very hitter-friendly ump calling balls and strikes with Mark Vegner behind the dish. The A’s have a 4.5 implied line tonight and could be a solid an under-the-radar stack option for this slate.

A’s bats in great spot at home vs. struggling Marco Gonzales

Marco Gonzales had a solid start to the year, but has largely struggled since. He owns a 6.01 xFIP, 5.56 SIERA and 8.20 ERA over the past 30 days with a 6.6% K-BB and 44% hard contact rate. He also has a .383 xwOBA allowed and 90.2 aEV over that time frame. Gonzales has actually been worse vs. LHB this year (.348 xwOBA allowed vs. LHB, .321 allowed vs. RHB) but can be targeted from both sides of the plate tonight. Khris Davis (.389 xwOBA vs. LHP this year), Matt Olson (.383), Chad Pinder (.371), Ramon Laureano (.360), Josh Phegley (.352), Matt Chapman (.347), and Jurickson Profar (.340) are all great options in the A’s lineup tonight. Marcus Semien (.290) is also in play batting leadoff. Matt Olson has been the A’s hottest hitter with a .396 xwOBA over the past 14 days. Chapman, Pinder, Davis, Profar and Phegley can all be had for $4.2k or less on Draftkings. The A’s have a solid 5.50 implied total tonight vs. Marco Gonzales and the Mariners.

Glad The Starter Is Out

With Lucroy out of the lineup for Oakland, I really hope people overlook Josh Phegley. Martin Perez has been awful against right-handed hitters this season, as he has a .468 wOBA with a .254 ISO and a 91.5 average exit velocity. Plus, with all the runs in this series, these bullpens have been used a lot. After struggling with lefties last season, Phegley is starting to look like the guy we loved to play against left-handed pitching. He's crushing lefties this season and sets up as strong catcher play tonight in this massive total game.

Punt Catcher With Pop

I'm hoping Josh Phegley cracks the lineup for Oakland tonight, as he's a nice value catcher with some home run upside. Phegley has been great against lefties this season, and since the start of 2017 he has a .173 ISO with a .362 CXwOBA. He also has a very low 12.9% soft contact rate. At his price, these are great numbers for this matchup against Clayton Richard, who has a .315 wOBA with a 42.5% hard hit rate against right-handed hitters this season. I love paying down at catcher, and this will possibly open up another big bat in the rest of my lineup.

Josh Phegley scratched, replaced by Bruce Maxwell

Josh Phegley has been scratched from the Oakland lineup. He will be replaced by Bruce Maxwell in a straight up swap.

Khris Davis (129 wRC+, .280 ISO vs RHP since 2015) faces a RHP with a reverse platoon split (RHBs .348 wOBA)

Ricky Nolasco has walked just three batters this year, affording him a 14.9 K-BB% even with a below average K%, but his GB rate has dropped nearly 10 points (0.67 GB/FB) off his career rate with a 34.2 Hard%. That’s a lot of hard contact in the air and in fact, his 10 Barrels allowed this season are tied for second most in the majors. He also has a fairly significant reverse platoon split (RHBs .348 wOBA, 33.9 Hard% - LHBs .310 wOBA, 31.9 Hard% since 2015), which might explain the absence of Stephen Vogt tonight in favor of Josh Phegley. Khris Davis (129 wRC+, .280 ISO vs RHP since 2015) is the top rated bat in this lineup with a bit of a reverse platoon himself. He's also one of the top projected values on DraftKings tonight ($2.7K), along with Matt Joyce (125 wRC+, .221 ISO vs RHP since last season), who costs near the minimum on either site. Sale owners might also consider Yonder Alonso, who has been red hot over the last week (200 wRC+, 46.2 Hard%) and costs around $2.5K on either site.

Oakland has several lefty mashers against a fly ball, low strikeout pitcher

Derek Holland has struck out more than three in just two of his last nine starts and has allowed a HR in four straight (three in his last start alone). A 0.85 GB/FB might not be as dangerous in a park like Oakland, but they have some lefty mashers in this lineup, who will get a lot of chances to do damage with so much contact projected to be in the air tonight. Danny Valencia and Khris Davis each have an ISO above .350 vs LHP this season and a hard hit rate above 40% over the last week. Both are top overall bats tonight at a reasonable cost around $4K or less. For those harder to fill positions and those who don't mind dropping lower in the order, consider Semien (157 wRC+, .294 ISO vs LHP this season) and Phegley (117 wRC+, .169 ISO vs LHP since last season with a 223 wRC+ and 63.6 Hard% over the last week). Jake Smolinski (143 wRC+, .252 ISO vs LHP since 2015) could serve as a punt Outfielder for less than $3K. He has a 248 wRC+ over the last week.

A's lineup has three middle of the order bats with an ISO above 200 vs LHP since last season

Cesar Ramos has allowed a .339 wOBA and 34.6 Hard% to RHBs since last season, but doesn't need to do much in a negative run environment against a below average offense to cover $4K on DraftKings should you need to punt a secondary pitcher spot behind Scherzer on DraftKings. He has pitched reasonably well in three spot starts (16.1 IP – 5 ER – 3 HR – 5 BB – 13 K – 69 BF). The A's do have a few formidable bats against LHP though. Danny Valencia (157 wRC+, .228 ISO vs LHP since 2015) is one of the most expensive bats on DK ($5.2K), but potentially one of tonight's overall top bats. Khris Davis (102 wRC+, .250 ISO vs LHP since 2015) is an average overall hitter with a ton of power. Marcus Semien (148 wRC+, .214 ISO vs LHP since 2015) gains a ton of value in the 2nd spot at a weak SS position. Josh Phegley (115 wRC+, .169 ISO vs LHP since 2015) hasn't gotten much playing time this year, but is always a consideration as an above average hitting Catcher at reasonable cost.

A's predictably stack RHBs against Santiago, Phegley bats 2nd

Hector Santiago isn't a good pitcher with ERA estimators well above four for his career and an actual ERA above five after the All Star break last year. He does, however, miss bats at around a league average rate (the problem is a 10.3 BB% and 30.5 Hard% career when he's not missing bats). All of that said, he is in a decent spot against a weak offense at a reasonable cost across the industry tonight. The A's like to play the platoon game perhaps more than any other team and stack up with an almost entirely RH lineup, which thus far has led to a middling 90 wRC+ and 25.3 K% against lefties (remember they faced a lot of good ones against the White Sox to open the season). This might be a rare night where Santiago is worth a look. On the other side, Josh Phegley (127 wRC+ vs LHP since last season) is an interesting name in the 2nd hole and perhaps even more interesting with Posey out tonight. Danny Valencia has a 125 wRC+ vs lefties since last year.
