Steve Pearce Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Cheap + Platoon

Steve Pearce's spot in the lineup is going to be contingent on if J.D. Martinez is back in the lineup or not for the Red Sox. Pearce hit fifth yesterday with no JDM and would be a cash game lock if he hits top five again with the platoon advantage against Wade Miley. Pearce still rates as a strong value option if he does find himself hitting lower in the order. He does come with his fair share of pinch-hit risk and that risk is tougher to take on the lower he hits in the order.

High Upside GPP Stack

It's been a while since we have seen Clayton Richard at the major league level, but he has long been a left-handed starter with massive differentials in his splits. For his major league career, Richard has allowed a .279 wOBA to lefties and a .354 wOBA to righties. There's also a gigantic split in his hard contact rate, as he has held LHBs to a 23% hard contact rate compared to 36% for righties. Mookie Betts has elite splits against all types of pitchers, and while he has struggled against lefties so far this year, we can't ignore his .380+ wOBA against them for his career, including .488 a year ago. It's only a matter of time before we see him post a huge game against a lefty, and today could be the day. He should be the starting spot of any GPP stacks, while you can add Steve Pearce for value and the other middle of the order bats for upside.

J.D. Martinez (back) scratched Saturday; Steve Pearce replaces

Martinez has been scratched from the Boston Red Sox original confirmed lineup and will not start in Saturday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays due to back spasms. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Steve Pearce, who will now handle the designated hitter duties and slot into the seventh spot in the order, which bumps Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and Michael Chavis each up one batting position to fifth, sixth, and seventh, respectively. However, the remainder of the Red Sox lineup will stay intact offensively as they face off against right-hander Charlie Morton at home this afternoon.

If Lefty Mashers Exist, Here’s One

Steve Pearce gets to tee off against lefty John Means today while batting third in a Boston lineup that has the potential to go off. Last season, Pearce hit five of his 11 homers against lefties with a .959 OPS. Pearce is affordable and gives you access to this high-powered Red Sox offense.

LHPs .355 wOBA against LHBs is the worst on the board against batters from either side

As expected, outfield is the position most flush with exciting DFS options on Friday. Although incredibly expensive, discussion must start with Mookie Betts (212 wRC+, .368 ISO vs LHP) and J.D. Martinez (155 wRC+, .244 ISO) against J.A. Happ (RHBs .313 wOBA). Another interesting high priced spot is Christian Yelich (162 wRC+, .250 ISO vs LHP) against Tyler Anderson, who's .355 wOBA against LHBs this year is the highest split against either side for any pitcher today. Charlie Blackmon (122 wRC+, .235 ISO vs RHP) is in another strong spot against Jhoulys Chacin (LHBs .338 wOBA). Steve Pearce (158 wRC+, .255 ISO vs LHP) is an OF eligible value play on DK. Ryan Braun (125 wRC+, .277 ISO vs LHP) costs $3.3K on FanDuel, where Carlos Gonzalez (104 wRC+, .201 ISO) costs $2.3K.

Red hot bat eligible at either corner infield position on DraftKings

Corner positions are where DFS players usually get the most offense from their infielders, especially first base and today's slate may have a couple of potential value options at Fenway. Luke Voit (212 wRC+, .440 ISO) and Steve Pearce (158 wRC+, .255 ISO) have both punished LHP this year and both hover around the $4K price on DraftKings (just a bit below on FanDuel). Max Muncy (169 wRC+, .334 ISO) has been a surprise masher of RHP this season and has remained a house of fire this week. Jesus Aguilar, Freddie Freeman, Tyler White and Cody Bellinger all additionally have at least a 130 wRC+ and exceed .220 ISO against the handedness of the pitcher each faces tonight. Muncy is also third base eligible on DraftKings, but players would have to sacrifice rostering Justin Turner (142 wRC+, .187 ISO vs RHP). Alex Bregman (153 wRC+, .243 ISO vs RHP) and Jose Ramirez (158 wRC+, .315 ISO) are the top bats at that position, but both are facing great starting pitchers in one of the most negative run environments in baseball. Justin Verlander held LHBs to a .251 wOBA this season. Statcast has him for an even more absurd .221 xwOBA against lefties.

B-squad may still put up some runs in this park

After hanging 19 on the O's this afternoon, the Red Sox are going with the B-Squad in the nightcap. They are currently implied for 5.47 runs and while that total may drop, it's still a significantly positive run environment and they are facing a pitcher who has allowed a .406 wOBA to LHBs so far and a .346 wOBA to RHBs. They may still score some runs and now Jackie Bradley Jr. (100 wRC+, .184 ISO vs RHP this year), Brock Holt (104 wRC+, .150 ISO) and Steve Pearce (122 wRC+, .207 ISO) are affordable top of the lineup bats.

Rookie pitcher has struggled in this tough spot before

The Red Sox sit high atop the board at 5.97 implied runs against Ryan Borucki and the Blue Jays. No other team comes within half a run. In two previous starts for Borucki against the Sox, 11 runs have been score in eight innings with seven walks. Boston will send seven RHBs against him and batters from that side have a 334 wOBA with a 40.1 GB% against Borucki this season. Mookie Betts (211 wRC+, .375 ISO vs LHP this season) is probably the top bat on the board. He has a 249 wRC+ over the last week and is enormously expensive. Xander Bogearts (113 wRC+, .137 ISO) has been even hotter (358 wRC+ last seven days). J.D. Martinez (159 wRC+, .218 ISO) is in the first slump of his career (54 wRC+ last seven days). Steve Pearce (173 wRC+, .244 ISO) is the resident value play against southpaws.

Each of the first four batters above a 200 wRC+ last seven days

The Red Sox are the lowest of three teams (25% of the board) above five implied runs tonight (5.25). They are not at home and they are facing a quality pitcher. Ryan Borucki has completed six innings in six of seven starts (seven innings in three), in which he's allowed two runs or less. He has just a 16.5 K%, but has managed contact fairly well (87.1 mph aEV, 5.7% Barrels/BBE. He's also a left-handed pitcher who will have to face Mookie Betts (201 wRC+, .362 ISO vs LHP last calendar year), Steve Pearce (149 wRC+, .244 ISO) and J.D. Martinez (163 wRC+, .281 ISO). Not only that, but each of the first four batters in the Boston lineup are above a 200 wRC+ over the last week with a combined seven HRs. While the bottom half of the lineup leaves a lot to be desired, the first half should do some damage here.

Good Matchup Against an Unproven Southpaw

The Red Sox draw an exploitable matchup against Ryan Borucki and are playing in a hitter-friendly ballpark. Borucki may have a low ERA this season, but his SIERA suggests some regression moving forward. Not only that, but his numbers in the minors this year were mediocre at best. There are four batters in particular that are on my radar here and they make an excellent four-man stack. Mookie Betts, Steve Pearce, J.D. Martinez, and Xander Bogaerts all bat from the right side and all boast a .375+ xwOBA against left-handed pitching this season.
