Matt den Dekker Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Matt den Dekker homered the last game he received the chance to lead off and hopes to recreate that success against Carlos Martinez. Martinez has had success in his career, but more so against right-handed batters. He allowed a wOBA of 0,329 to left-handed batters last year, with an OBP of 0.339. Dekker serves as a viable value option at the front of a often potent Nationals lineup.

Bryce Harper is getting the day off on Sunday, so Tyler Duffey can breathe a big sigh of relief. It will be Matt den Dekker and Michael Taylor in the 1 and 2 spots, with Daniel Murphy sliding into the number 3 hole.

With Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton out of the lineup and pitching in Miami's huge ball park, Max Scherzer has a great match up today against the Marlins and makes for a great pivot if you're looking to fade Clayton Kershaw in GPP's. His team is the second largest favorite of the day and you can avoid any Marlins bats. Tom Koehler pitches for the Marlins - he had a wOBA of over .313 against both sides of the plate last season and is a bit more vulnerable (.332 wOBA) to LH bats which bodes well for Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy. Harper will be hard to fit in your lineups at his exorbitant price tag so he's likely a fade but Murphy is certainly in play. If you're looking for some cheap value options, Matt den Dekker is leading off and is minimum priced on FanDuel. Clint Robinson is similarly priced and batting sixth.
