Ramiro Pena Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Masahiro Tanaka is a marginal mound choice tonight against an offense with a great 7.1 K-BB% vs RHP. He has pitched well though and has his strikeout rate up to 24.6% over the last month. He also has a career 17.4 HR/FB at home in Yankee Stadium, evenly split to left and right handed batters. Aside from the short RF porch, people often forget that Yankee Stadium is a favorable environment for RH power as well. Looking at a few SF bats with power (Posey, Belt, and Crawford) might not be a terrible idea. All have an ISO between .150 and .200 vs RHP this year, but a tough home park is likely suppressing those numbers. Players should be careful because we're not expecting Tanaka to pitch poorly tonight, but it's more than likely there will be a HR or two. Unlike last time Bumgarner pitched in an AL park, the Giants will not forego the DH tonight. Batting further down in the order, but at great low punt price tags are small sample size heroes Jarrett Parker (180 wRC+, .269 ISO vs RHP since 2015) and Ramiro Pena (169 wRC+, .204 ISO vs RHP this season).

Jeff Locke has allowed a wOBA just above .330 to batters from both sides of the plate since last season, though RHBs have hit the ball much harder (30.9 Hard%) than LHBs (17.7 Hard%). Despite that, the Giants are going with a mostly left-handed lineup in a park that kills RH power. Angel Pagan (108 wRC+ vs LHP this season) bats leadoff and may be a better value for $2.6K on FanDuel tonight, as both Denard Span and Matt Duffy are OUT. Buster Posey (142 wRC+, .186 ISO vs LHP since 2015) is the top bat in this lineup, but may be unaffordable if paying up for pitching. Ramiro Pena is your punt play, eligible at 2B, 3B, and or SS depending on your site of choice for just $2.2K batting 6th.
