 Today's stacking section is gonna sound a lot like yesterday's because in yesterday's show We talked about the Dodgers the Astros the Twins and the Diamondbacks and the top stacks for today are gonna be pretty much The exact same teams in part because some starters can switch to round and stuff like that but also They're good offenses and I value that quite a bit more so now than I used to and I think that I've had Fun being able to stack good offenses so far this year I think that with the way the pitching salaries break for today We can actually do that without restricting ourselves in terms of upside a pitcher I think that my top guy for tonight is actually Quite a bit under salary and a lot will allow you to do quite a bit a damage at hitter for today So I want to dive in let you know who that guy is why I like him We should use that flexibility at hitter on this slate welcome on into the solo shop that's right here on the fan dual podcast network and Numberfire.com my name is Jim Sonnis I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com here to break down Tuesday's 12 a game in Maine slate with lockset for 705 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday we got a couple of weather notes both of them wind related in St. Louis for the Cardinals and the Blue Jays Winds are in from right at 11 miles per hour So a slight downgrade to batters there and same thing in Minneapolis the Twins the Tigers slight downgrade at bats there as well As a result of that wind blowing in from right that is the only weather for today though a couple spots where there could be some rain Popping up, so maybe you want to check in later on But I think we should be good overall for today before we dive into the pitching preview quicker minded to make sure you are Subscribed to the number of fire daily fantasy podcast feed wherever you get your podcast We of course are now for podcast Spotify Stitcher Google podcasts You name that you can find us there and while you're there the language you hear leave us a rating and review We have our PGA podcast for the colonial coming up later on today with myself and Brandon Gadoula going back over the PGA championship and getting you set for this week in PGA DFS Of course USC and NASCAR on this same feed as well hit subscribe to get all those podcasts right as they go a lot the NBA playoffs are Allegedly heating up not sure based on the on-court action But hey, they're heating up and you can make every game feel like game seven because he got a manufacturer in some way on Vanduul sportsbook an official partner of the NBA throughout the playoffs all customers can place a no sweat same game parlay each week You'll get up to $20 and free bets if you don't win Vanduul has so many ways to play and best of all when you do win you'll get paid faster than a fast break either way You'll get up to $20 and free bets if your same game parlay during the playoffs does not win Vanduul sportsbook an official partner of the NBA Must be 21 plus and select states refund issued as non-withdrawable free bets that expire seven days after receipt Max free bet $20 per week restrictions apply see terms at sportsbook.vanduul.com gambling problem call 1-800 gambler was a Vanduul.com slash RG in Arizona call 1-800 next step or tax next step to five three three four two in Connecticut 1-888-789-7777 Or visit ccpg.org slash chat in Indiana 1809 with it in Louisiana 1807 7777 zero stop in New York 1807 788 hope and why In Tennessee called the red line at 1809 9779 in Wyoming 1805 to 247 100 or in West Virginia 1-800 gambler net pitching preview for this Tuesday main slate We got zek gallant at the top he checks in at $10,900 on Fanduul followed by Corbin Verne's a 10-6 Chris Bassett is 10,000 from of all beds is $9,900 Walker Bueller 98 Dylan Ceases 96 Kevin Gosman 94 Max Fried is 91 We have Bruce Zimmerman Logan Webb Dane Dunning Sunny Graham Noah Cinder guard as the others at $8,000 were higher Now it is a very good slave for pitchers and you got a lot of guys I like it a lot of guys you could use I just don't think I can like any of them more than I like Dylan Cease checking it at Just $9,600 for tonight He would not a top arm of the day and that's all acknowledging that Cease is imperfect He has gotten the quality start bonus on Fanduul just twice across eight starts and that's six points It's equivalent to six or two two strikeouts even without that. We've seen Cease blow up He has topped 50 Fanduul points twice. He got 60 in one of those He's had 40 plus Fanduul points in five out of eight games and that includes the starts before He was fully stretched out. That is the power of a strikeout of Fanduul You can have Garrett Cole last night let him five run runs and still getting you 46 because strikeouts are so valuable Cease has a 37% strikeout rate for the full season, which actually increases to 42% If you look at the five starts, he's been throwing more fast balls One of those starts was against these very same Red Sox a team he will face tonight Which means that they did see him recently but it was back on May 7th, which is about two weeks ago and He did pretty well in that game eight strikeouts and five innings of one run ball He had a 14.9% swinging strike rate and that game was in Fenway. This one is in Chicago We've seen ski Cease get eight plus strikeouts and all but one starts so far this year And that's while facing some lower strikeout teams Red Sox being one of them But also the Royals twice and the Guardians once so he's flawed. He's inefficient with his pitching and I do want to see guys Get that quality start bump, but Cease can get there and his strikeouts help make up for it Even if he does not so for tournaments I'm gonna go with Dylan Cease number one Because that upside that he has is so tantalizing and so reachable with that strike area being what it is for Cease For cash games, I do think I prefer Zach Gallin. It's not the best matchup in the world He's facing the Royals. They're a pretty low strikeout team But I think we could just see Gallin shove here regardless And that's because Gallin has been elite so far this year We got a 3.13 skill interactive ERA 26% strikeout rate a 31% hard hit rate allowed, which is the best mark on the slate The Royals probably not going to do a whole lot of damage against him Their current active roster as a 91 WRC plus against righties with a 123 ISO and plus The roof is expected to be closed for tonight Now that didn't matter a ton last night where there was a ton of offense in this park still But it makes it less of a hitters park than it typically is and Gallin doesn't really need that necessarily because he is someone Who has had some decently large home road splits? Since the start of 2020 all full years of their zone it Gallin has a 30% striking rate at home Whereas it gives to 24% on the road in his four home starts this year He has had seven five seven and nine strikeouts and that's while allowing two total earned runs across those four starts So we get an upside boost for Gallin here His floor is already sky high And I think that's enough to put him above Gossman put him above birds Even though we do see Gallin in a lowest strikeout match up here I'll talk more about Gossman and Burns and things to watch But I think for me it's cease number one for tournaments Gallin number one for cash games and then Gossman and Burns Good considerations, but not quite as high as either of those guys in those two formats Among the value guys I think you have two really nice options both of them are in great matchups One of those is George Kirby. He's at home against the A's So if you want to bet on talent, which Kirby has plenty of it's a good spot to do so I'm on board at that But I'm gonna give slight preference to sunny gray at $8,200 gray is also at home. He's facing the Tigers here. Obviously a very good spot. They have a 67 WRC plus against righties with a 26% strikeout rate and they're pretty poor in other areas as well We've seen gray take advantage of good matchups recently He's faced Oakland twice since he came off the aisle. So a couple of revenge games there for sunny gray He's allowed 200 runs and 10 innings with 12 strikeouts and just two walks against the A's in that time He also had eight strikeouts against a very low strikeout Cleveland team Sandwich between those two stars. That's why I'm here. I think that he will pitch well in a dream matchup The reason that gray doesn't separate from Kirby for me is pitch count because since coming back gray has gone 66 82 and then 84 pitches the 84 did get him through the sixth inning But the twins tend to be pretty conservative with pitch counts more so with like Chris Archer than others But like they do tend to be on the low side in terms of starting pitcher pitch counts That's why to me both gray and Kirby are viable among the value options So the slight preference are gray here if they were to let him go 95 in this spot He could erupt and I'm high enough on gray to actually use him for tonight You know, sometimes we have a lot of good studs and I'll say I hate here's my value guy I'm probably not gonna use him though In this spot I will use sunny gray and I will rank him highest among the values But you can filter in George Kirby as well Let's move now to the stacking section as mentioned It's gonna be a little bit more if you listen to yesterday's podcast because pretty much the exact same teams across the board But I do think it's necessary. So let's start here with the Dodgers and go from there They're facing Josiah Gray. So it's a Josiah Gray revenge game for today But still letting up a ton of hard contact and that's why we're here in the stacking section We're up to five starts on gray with more sliders in his repertoire and fewer forcing fastballs And again, I think that long term this will be a very good move for gray It hasn't quite clicked yet though His strikeout rate pretty stagnant at 23% He's letting up a 51 fly ball rate with a 40 heart rate He let him three year runs last time out despite getting seven strikeouts and no walks pitching in a a very Pitcher friendly park against an okay offense, but not a Dodgers level offense in the Marlins Gray's let up three year runs in three straight starts and in form is past five He let up three home runs specifically in one game and two in another So I love the strikeouts and I think that long term that does give gray upside as a pitcher But I'm just inclined to keep stacking against him While the dinger potential for the opposing team is as high as it is right now So the Dodgers once again gonna be a top stack for today It seems like Edwin Rios is earning more and more playing time for the Dodgers And he may not play today. He started too straight against righty So could be offered today just in turn or getting back in there, but Just as a general point when Rios is in there. I would say he is fully fully on the table He's hitting the ball really hard this year. He actually has in a small sample granted But a 21 percent barrel rate He does strike out too much which means If I were the Dodgers, I probably wouldn't start him today against gray because gray can get strikeouts But just broadly when Edwin Rios is in there for the Dodgers. I am very okay including human stacks I think is a good batter So okay with that if you have to go there for today, don't know if he'll play But if he is I would give the green light there The other repeat stack for today is the twins I'm not sure who they're facing. Roni Garcia is listed as the starter for the Tigers But previous reporting had said that the starter would be Bo brisky So Garcia could be the opener or the site could just be wrong as it was yesterday Either way, I think the twins will be in play here tonight We talked about brisky yesterday very stackable profile both due to the bad balls and the play discipline Stack against brisky if he winds up being the guy Let's talk about Garcia for a second because he was electric in his most recent start He had six strikeouts and two and two-thirds innings of relief That's pushed the skill interactive era down to 2.18 for this year But I don't think That should override the larger sample in Garcia We have 38 and two-thirds innings of Garcia in his career in the big leagues In that time 8.2 swing and strike rate. It's an 8.9 percent this year He is allowed a 47 hard hit rates with a 44 fly ball rates. Those are all very stackable numbers We did see Garcia get more strikeouts in triple a last year across a four start sample But that the fly balls were still very much there In other words, even if he does get strikeouts I think he could wind up being in that Josiah gray zone where It comes a lot of dangerous bad of balls to the point where you can still stack against him even though he's striking some guys out so Regardless of who winds up being the bulk guy here I think the twins are a good option for stacking and they're both righties too So we don't need to change which guys we target no matter who winds up being out there for tonight I'm really impressed with Gary Sanchez so far this year against righties He's kind of striking right down to 23 percent That was 29 percent last year and 35 percent the year before that And he's done that while keeping the power high because he has a 250 iso with a 56 fly ball rate For whatever reason seems like the approach for Sanchez is just really working this year He's $3,100 not a value play by any means, but I still will be in on him here I just want to reiterate that I like what I've seen so far the peripheral is very good I'm expecting Sanchez to Continue to hit righties very well and I am okay with turning towards the twins whether it's brisky or garcy I think both those guys put the twins in a good spot If you need some value for today again, I don't think you need as much given that Cease is under salary But if you want to get gallon in there stack him with his offensive teammates and turn to the Dynavacs They're facing Jonathan Heasley not a big sample on Heasley yet in the majors But I do feel good stacking against him Heasley has made two starts in the majors and they haven't gone all that well He has two strikeouts compared to seven walks now. He's worked around this But that's probably not super sustainable the triple a numbers for Heasley has some issues in there, too He has a 29 strikeout right there, which is a very good number But his swing strike rate It's 11.7 percent and it's eray down in triple a is 4.44 That's a little high relative to his peripherals, which typically indicates he's letting up too much hard contact And we've seen that in the majors as well We've seen Heasley make five starts between last year and this year in the majors His hard hit rate allowed is 53 percent, which is a really big number So he's probably going to struggle with play discipline and he's probably going to struggle with hard contact He's facing an offense with a 197 iso Against righties this year. That is the third best number on this lake. They also have the highest fly ball rate, too So again, the roof is closed. That is a downgrade for offense for sure, but I do still think they're a great option, especially if he needs a value Which you might if you want to jam in mookie bets byron buckson, etc, etc It's okay to go down here to get some value out of arizona And when you're looking at stacks, I always one of you things through the lens like a building block with the marlins It's jaz chism. You always want them in your in your stack for the twins. I try to get byron buckson in there shocker. I know You want to find a building block to including basically every stack for me. That's dalton varsho on arizona He has a 48 fly ball right against righties this year. He can swipe some bags Makes tons of hard contact and it seems like his good start is pretty legit. So I would put varsho one Josh row houses and play if he's able to play he's still banked up. It seems like but I would use him if he plays David peralta getting more loft this year alex thomas lower in the order works Christian walker even against righties is hitting for power this year another home run last night Jake mccarthy minimum salary. He hit six last night He hit well in triple. I will talk about him in a second But just a fun team to stack with a lot of guys. I like to use on this team So arizona to me really fun stack with both value and upside which is a combo. I am not inclined to turn down Let's go now to things to watch. I did want to talk briefly About why i'm a tiny bit lower on burns and gaussman for gaussman He is on the road against a super super super low strikeout opponent The cardinals are at just 16 percent against righties this year We've also seen gaussman cut back on his slider a bit recently Which is a bit concerning. It's noteworthy to me. So I might just be off gaussman for tonight Burns is on the road as well. And like gallin has a bit of a dip on the road in terms of his home road splits But he's on the road where his gallin's at home. I am higher on burns than I am on gaussman You could easily defend putting burn second above gallin if you wanted to I just prefer gallin by a bit like raw ceiling 95th percentile, maybe even 90th percentile It's going to favor burns over gallin, but I do like gallin a lot So I want to put him in the number two slot for today Talked about the astros against zack play stack yesterday I think that they are in play again because they're actually facing zack play stack for today I wanted to be interested in Mackenzie who they faced I'm totally fine with facing play stack here does let up a lot of hard contact Not a high strikeout rate for him When that's a good recipe for stacking It's almost a carbon copy of yesterday's stacking menu. I'm okay with that because Mostly worked out pretty well yesterday. So the astros once again in play for today Finally, I'm okay with some Yankees one offs here They're facing Bruce Zimmerman who's been pretty good this year But they did just see him last week. They scored five runs against him in five innings So he's pitching well this year, but he lives pretty dangerously with his batted balls Not a big strikeout guy So it's a fine profile for stacking against such a powerful team. So I'm okay Going back to the Yankees once again in this spot. Let's finish up here with the digger calls for today I got to go freddy freeman at the top just I agree to struggle a lot with lefties Freeman is an absurd hitter who's had really good numbers advanced numbers so far this year played well last night So going back to freddy freeman once again for today For the fun one, let's talk about jake mccarthy. I mentioned him as being a a minimum salary guy for arizona In triple a before his promotion a 293 iso he can swipe some bags too So he might not get the home run for you and that's kind of the whole point of the digger call section But hey Even if he doesn't might swipe a bag for you So uh jake mccarthy the fun home run call for today mccarthy and freeman the two home run calls for this tuesday sleep That is all that we have here for today on the solo shop But we are back again later on today to break down this this week's pga charles schwaub challenge We're going to break that down with myself and brandon gedula You know our top options in each salary tier over on fangirl You can find that on the fangirl youtube page at 10 a.m But then up on the number fire daily fantasy podcast feed immediately after that If you've got any questions for me i am on twitter at jim sonnis j i m s a n n e s You can also follow the fangirl podcast network at fangirl podcast big Thank you to everyone for tuning in for today Good luck to you with your mlb dfs lineups.
