Tom Eshelman Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Red Sox have a ridiculous 7.58 implied total vs. Orioles’ Eshelman
Tom Eshelman has seemingly fared better than expected over his 10 2/3 MLB innings thus far, posting a 5.06 ERA / 4.50 xFIP / 4.92 SIERA with a 11.4% K-BB. His Statcast numbers are a bit uglier, charging him with a .367 xwOBA, 11.4% barrel rate and 90.6 MPH aEV. Eshelman has been a pretty mediocre pitcher at each MiLB stop in his career and projects as a roughly 5.50+ ERA guy by most projection systems. After Eshelman is chased from the game, Red Sox hitters will face an Orioles’ bullpen that has a 4th worst 4.57 SIERA on the year. Mookie Betts (.413 xwOBA vs. RHP this year), Rafael Devers (.389), JD Martinez (.386), Xander Bogaerts (.364), Brock Holt (.358), Jackie Bradley Jr. (.344), Andrew Benintendi (.320) and Michael Chavis (.311) are all great options tonight. Holt has been their hottest hitter since the All-Star break with a .470 xwOBA, followed by Betts at .403 and Devers at .390. Bradley Jr. is the only batter under $4k on Draftkings at $3.7k; he has a 115 wRC+ since June as he’s rebounded nicely following a very slow start to the year. Betts, Devers and Bogaerts will bat 1-2-3 and will all carry $5k + price tags on Draftkings, but could likely be well worth it given the matchup. J.D. Martinez is a nice value batting 4th at just $4.7k.
Rays have the highest total on the early slate vs. Eshelman
After trading Andrew Cashner, the Orioles called up Tom Eshleman to make his 2nd career start Sunday afternoon vs. the Rays. Eshelman had pretty mediocre numbers at every MiLB stop, and projects as anywhere from a 5.50-6.50 ERA pitcher by projection systems. The Rays have scored 30 runs in 3 games since the All-Star break and look to be in yet another good spot this afternoon vs. Eshelman and an Orioles bullpen that is already bad (4th worst 4.57 SIERA this year) and is worn down after being torched all weekend. Nate Lowe (.441 xwOBA vs. RHP this year), Austin Meadows (.384), Tommy Pham (.382), Travis d’Arnaud (.354 since joining TB) and Ji-Man Choi (.350) are all great options. Kevin Kiermaier (.298) is batting 3rd and while he isn’t a good hitter, he’s been a stolen base threat with 17 now on the year. Michael Brosseau hit 2 homers last night and now has a 211 wRC+ in 36 PA this year; he costs just $3.2k on Draftkings and will bat 5th. Nate Lowe will cost just $3.6k on Draftkings and will bat 4th, while Ji-man Choi is also a nice bargain, costing $3.6k and batting 6th. The Rays currently have a 6.30 implied total this afternoon and project as one of the best PTS/$ stacks on the board on the early slate.
Tom Eshelman is a low upside pitcher making his major league debut in Tampa Bay
Tom Eshelman will make his major league debut for the Orioles in Tampa Bay. He began the season in the Philadelphia organization and was not a prospect of interest. After making five starts for them at AAA (22.6 K%, 4.5 BB%), he moved over to the Orioles, where he currently ranks 22nd in the org. (Fangraphs) with a 40 Future Value grade. He’s struck out just 11 of 84 batters (six walks) in three AAA starts for Baltimore. Already 25 years-old, there doesn’t seem to be much hope for further development left and he’s never previously struck out more than 20% of batters or had a ground ball rate above 45% above A ball since 2016, as he’s toiled around the upper minors. While there’s always some advantage to the unknown, this wouldn’t seem like the type of pitcher we’d expect to generate a high daily fantasy point total or hold back the Tampa Bay offense. With the exception of DH Brendan McKay getting his first major league PAs, the Rays’ lineup does not feature a single batter below a .169 ISO vs RHP over the last calendar year with only Mike Zunino (75), Kevin Kiermaier (93) and Avisail Garcia (101) below a 117 wRC+. The Rays currently top the board at 5.79 implied runs.
