Yangervis Solarte Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
An Intriguing Budget-Friendly Stack
It's no secret that we will need to find some value tonight, as there are high-end pitchers that we want to pay for. While I don't love picking on Reynaldo Lopez, I also don't have a problem picking on Reynaldo Lopez when the price is right. His 10% walk rate is too high, his SIERA and xFIP are both well over 5.00, and we also know how bad the White Sox bullpen can be at times. Toronto's bats come at affordable prices, too, as guys like Solarte and Gurriel are more than affordable and hit in the middle of the order. Gurriel has been hitting second of late and will likely continue to hit there as the team gets a look at their younger players. Justin Smoak has the best profile of the bunch and can absolutely be included in a GPP stack if you have the salary to fit him in there.
Attacking Bad Pitchers
We don't have a ton of value options on this slate tonight, so I'm mostly just attacking the bad pitchers. Solarte has increased his ISO from the right side of the plate, and the Blue Jays continue to hit him second against left-handed pitching. Adalberto Mejia has been pitching decently in AAA this season, but he really struggled when he was called up last season. In 370 PAs against righties, he had a .351 wOBA with a .176 ISO and an 18.6% strikeout rate. I like some of the Blue Jays righties, but Solarte is a nice value option at this price.
More Savings In Another Prime Game
There are values everywhere, and high team totals everywhere tonight. On DK/FDRFT, I am going out of my way to find some value bats to make the high end pitching fit, and this Minnesota/Toronto game has a lot to like. The stand out value is Yangervis Solarte with his dual position eligibility on DK and the lowest strikeout rate of any batter in the Blue Jays lineup against lefties at just 10.9%. He's even hit for some surprising power this year with a .242 ISO against lefties, but we're really rostering him for the balls in play in the middle of a lineup that could be batting around a few extra times tonight against a beatable pitcher making just his second start of the season.
Toronto Power Looking to Tee Off on Home Run Prone Pitcher
Toronto has the highest implied run total on the slate today, facing Andrew Cashner and his 1.43 HR/9, which ranks 15th worst among qualified pitchers this season. Cashner has been particularly hittable on the road, where he is allowing a .544 slugging percentage (vs .447 at home) and to lefties (.510 slugging percentage allowed, versus .467 allowed to righties). Justin Smoak and Curtis Granderson are the primary targets from the left side of the plate today, while Yangervis Solarte also provides some savings as a left hitter. Randall Grichuk is a righty, but has hit right-handed pitching with power this season, with 10 HRs in 140 ABs on the year.
Affordable mini-stack against pitcher with platoon issues
Julio Teheran has struck out double digit batters in two of his four starts since returning from the DL, but has also allowed 12 runs in two of his starts. He's allowed more than three runs seven times in a season where he has an 11.6 BB% and has always struggled against LHBs (.342 wOBA since last season). The Blue Jays lose their DH, but offer an affordable mini-stack at the top of the order with Curtis Granderson (125 wRC+, .236 ISO vs RHP last calendar year), Yangervis Solarte (99 wRC+, .181 ISO) and Justin Smoak (121 wRC+, .242 ISO). At just 4.05 implied runs, this lineup should go overlooked by most players and will not be an obstacle to rostering either Verlander or Bauer should you chose to do so.
Your Sneaky 4th of July Stack
Most of the offensive attention tonight will likely be on the game at Coors Field, the Reds, and the Astros. Those are four relatively popular offenses that all carry implied team totals north of five runs this evening. The forgotten team with a high total will almost certainly be the Blue Jays, who have a total over five themselves and a good matchup against Corey Oswalt, who had an ERA over 5.30 at Triple-A this season and hasn't done anything at the major league level yet. I love the leverage play for low GPP ownership here, and the top four hitters from this Toronto lineup are all in play. You can also consider Russell Martin as a punt option at catcher. Justin Smoak is my favorite option for power upside, while Curtis Granderson is the safest option with his solid .375 wOBA vs. RHP this year.
Front of the Toronto order (5.1 implied runs) could do some damage against David Hess (44.2% 95+ mph EV)
David Hess has allowed just one earned run over 12.2 innings over his last two starts, but with four walks and just five strikeouts. He has struck out just 12 of 95 batters faced so far, though he does have a reasonable 9.4 SwStr%. His 44.2% 95+ mph EV is second highest on the board. While he has over a 100 point difference in his wOBA split between LH and RH batters, xwOBA closes the gap to 27 points. In a positive run environment, the Blue Jays have a 5.1 implied run line that's second best on the board. There are some outs in the second half of this order, but the first four seem a decent bet to do some damage tonight. Curtis Granderson (120 wRC+, .248 ISO vs RHP last calendar year), Yangervis Solarte (112 wRC+, .216 ISO), Teoscar Hernandez (128 wRC+, .292 ISO) and Justin Smoak (127 wRC+, .259 ISO) are all moderately priced.
A Cheap Bat that Will Put the Ball in Play
The numbers for Solarte are just too good for him to be priced this cheap. Since 2017, Solarte owns a .192 ISO and a .332 wOBA. He should be batting near the top of the lineup and when TOR being the road team, he should see 5 AB's. He gets a matchup against Fulmer who is a decent ground ball pitcher, but doesn't strike out a whole lot of guys. Solarte own a very good K rate himself (13.7%), so he's likely to be putting the ball in a play a lot. This is more of a cash game play or a spot to round out a stack, but I wouldn't argue with him as a GPP play.
League Average
David Price has truly been mystifying over his last two years with the Red Sox as he has done his best Jekyll and Hyde impression - he'll string together a few strong performances only to get completely blown up. Price has allowed 5+ earned runs in 4 of 21 starts over the last two years and four runs in two other starts. His advanced run prevention metrics have him as a league average pitcher (4.05 SIERA in 2017; 4.11 SIERA in 2018) and I have no problem attacking a league average lefty with right handed power bats at Fenway.
Five Blue Jays top a 115 wRC+ and .200 ISO vs RHP over the last calendar year; LHBs career .378 wOBA vs Eflin
Zach Eflin has increased his velocity this season and has a 25 K% through three starts, but with a 9.8 SwStr%, while he had just a 17.7 K% in 20 AAA innings to start this season. It's not something to buy into yet. Meanwhile, LHBs have a career .378 wOBA against him, which makes some of these Blue Jays' bats a bit dangerous in a power friendly park. Curtis Granderson (137 wRC+, .259 ISO vs RHP last calendar year), Justin Smoak (126 wRC+, .262 ISO) and Yangervis Solarte (118 wRC+, .217 ISO) all cost less than $4K. Josh Donaldson and Teoscar Hernandez top a 130 wRC+ and .200 ISO against same-handed pitching over the last calendar year as well.
