 What's going on and welcome to the to the MLB DFS Q&A show? My name is Tom Vecchio I'm here for the next half hour to answer your questions about tonight's six game MLB slates locks at 705 As I went over things this morning on the solo shot. We're in a pretty good spot for tonight's late We have no weather issues. We need to be worried about we are free of that just to give up that a quick recap This show as always can be found at 4 p.m. On the fable YouTube twitch and Facebook page Make sure to give it a like follow or subscribe on the given platform. That is greatly appreciated As I said six games locks at 705 we have a few confirmed lineups. We're still waiting on some I still think that we're in a good spot. We should see some offenses be very very chalky tonight We do have some very powerful offenses up at the top They're all in good spots the Astros the Reds the Yankees the White Sox and the Blue Jays are leading the way But of course we'll be looking to some other teams as well Starting off Crooked tooth is asking. What's the winning lineup for tonight? You know, it's a great question if I had that answer Every single day I would probably be on a beach somewhere And not here. I'd be like in Bora Bora somewhere DJ on Facebook is asking sunny gray versus Pittsburgh. Yes, of course sunny gray is shaping up to be One of if not the top pitchers on tonight's slate now There's an argument to be made for I would say three pitchers to be the chalkiest on tonight's slate and that would be sunny gray Framber Valdez or going to Nester Cortez all the way down at the bottom I spoke about Cortez and gray at length this morning on the solo shot didn't really touch on Framber Valdez But I do think, you know, he's a solid option as well For me I'm gonna be leaning towards sunny gray as my number one overall picture because we want this strikeout rate that he brings very consistent at 29% if we look to the pitchers on today's slate These is all the pitchers on today's all today's game is not just today's slate But we look to Framber Valdez and he's down at twenty one point five percent That is significantly lower than sunny gray up at twenty nine So yes sunny gray versus Pittsburgh is my number one pitcher on tonight's slate I still think that there's room to get some of the Toronto hitters in your lineup You want to pay up for Houston with Yankees whoever might be there's there's plenty of room on this slate going to the other end Would be going to Nester Cortez to really really get some value and then you can literally roster whoever you want Savon is asking a favorite secondary stack for today. That would be the Cleveland Indians now They're only coming in with a four point one three implied run total But they're going up against Ross stripling tonight a pitcher that I mentioned this morning on solo shot 2.26 homeruns per nine. He's allowing to righties 1.60 homeruns per nine to lefties. That is terrible We also see him coming in with an over 43% fly ball radar higher versus both lefties and righties So we look to the Indians for plenty of power. I wrote up frame will raise today as one of my favorite under the radar homerun options and the Indians make a great secondary stack tonight due to the salaries that they have now Jram and Fran mill rayors are the really the only two expensive hitters on their lineup I know if you're going with them as a stack, maybe you're paying up for the Yankees or Houston or whoever might be You can't afford both of them. You might have to pick and choose between Fran mill and Ramirez. It's kind of a coin flip. I would take Fran will I want the multi-home run upside And he has a little bit more than Jose Ramirez But then we drop down and all of these Salaries are so so easy to get into your lineups and then looking to some of the power that they bring of course some of these players You know loopholes are not on the team anymore or just nailish her Rosario's on the team anymore But Bobby Bradley to 47 ISO in this split Bobby Bradley's $2,500 now Bradley Zimmer doesn't bring a whole lot of power But he's at the top of the Indians lineup usually once we get that confirmed obviously brings plenty of value So I'm looking to the Indians as a really really solid option tonight only a 4.13 implied one total I do not think rush tripling is that good of a pitcher Alvin on YouTube is asking do you prefer toku or gray if we're doing a single entry? And if we're doing a 4 3 1 top 2 stacks for that type of lineup uh Well for the single entry if you're trying to avoid You know If you're taking everything consideration you would go with to a song because he's probably gonna be less popular compared to sunny gray And he is boasting a was it a 28 percent street at 28.5 percent strikeout rate this year So he can compete with sunny gray when it comes to his potential strikeout rate So if you are worried about how popular sunny gray is going to be you would simply shift to Tucson because he won't be as popular and you take a few hundred dollars of savings and then for a 4 3 1 lineup Uh, I really think toronto is in a phenomenal spot Going up against cleveland and tristan mckenzie who sure has a 28.5 percent strikeout rate this season He's also allowing 1.99 home runs per nine and he has a 51 fly ball Rate so the home run upside for toronto tonight is absolutely phenomenal really doesn't matter who in their lineup We can be seeing so toronto would be my number one I would probably then turn to the reds as the three stack And then if you can get in reyes or judge or stanton Whoever might be as that one off. That's where you want some of that home run upside Tim vest is back asking for another money line that he was here yesterday. I think all three of those yesterday the red socks the fillies And whoever else it was all came away as winners fillies red socks Can't remember the third but you know the problem tonight's late is that there's and and the braves last night That's what was uh, those three teams they all came away as winners There's a lot a lot of heavy favorites tonight and that's a bit of an issue if you're looking for You know some betting Value so the braves would be my pick again They're also another team i'm kind of targeting as an under the radar option because I don't think wavelength blocks are the picture I still think the braves are in the same spot they've been over the past two days facing lefty They have righties that have power so braves at minus 120 would be a solid option And then if you you know, you want to fade some of that shock the indians at you know Plus 158 would be good if they get that power going against ross stripling You know again like laying, you know two and a half dollars or you know just about two dollars to one for the Yankees or the white socks the ashore's whoever might be I personally think that's a lot If you want to parlay some of the favorites together Again, I don't know you're like you're betting tendencies or what like what you're comfortable with But I would say the braves maybe the indians and then Maybe you go with your braves indians and yankees if you want to put them in parlay So you get you know some some amount of safety uh, so far is asking a method question Uh, what's the best type of stack to do today? uh Today like I look I don't think today is any Like that different compared to most other days where i'm still gonna be focusing in on You know a main four three one stack Smaller slates is generally where I shift away from a four four stack Uh in terms of a large majority of my lineup, so if i'm making 25 lineups, uh, you know, I might do You know half of them as you know or 13 out of them as Four four and then the other 12 of them as four three one on normal slates tonight since it's a smaller slate That's where I incorporate a four two two slate a little bit more Where I'll take like the main stack that I like whether it be toronto and then add in two hitters from sincey two hitters from houston Etc etc so I I do mix things up just a little bit On smaller slate so a four three one stack or a four two two stack is generally where I Lean towards a bit more on smaller slates uh jerry's saying uh Houston and sincey I think that means for the win in terms of tim's best moneyline bets. They are heavy favorites Uh crooked teeth is a tooth is asking what do you mean by chalk? I mean by chalk He's gonna be like super popular where sunny gray is just I like without a doubt Sunny gray is the best pitcher on tonight's slate where he has the highest combination of You know and and we have to factor all this in he has the uh a favorable salary where it's not overly expensive He has a very soft match begins Pittsburgh He has a high strikeout rate and of course we want those strikeouts That's what brings brings us upside in terms of fantasy point scoring So we combine all those things all those things and Ultimately sunny gray is just the best most consistent option on tonight's pitching slate Now this is not to say the other pitchers aren't going to perform But all things considered we want to be looking to sunny gray and then when it comes to chalky hitters It's just oh there's a really bad pitcher going Everyone wants to be targeting this bad pitcher So everyone's going to be rostering, you know, toronto everyone's going to be rostering new york or houston Whoever might be so chalky just means very popular Uh DJ is asking what I think of toosan I wrote him up today on number fire as a potential under the radar option I just think he's going to go a bit overlooked compared to sunny gray where a lot of people will say I can find an extra eight hundred dollars and just pay up for gray Uh, who's that home? He's a favorite. He has a little bit of a softer match up going against Pittsburgh So I think people are going to be spending up to the top for sunny gray Or they're going to be dropping down and taking nester cortez at fifty five hundred dollars Who is going for a second straight start, you know, five innings and five strikeouts against Tampa Bay With one run and his most recent start and twenty seven Fandal points might not seem like a lot when in terms of oh, this is my pitcher only getting me twenty seven fandal points But he's fifty five hundred dollars Right, he doesn't need to go out there and put up 50 points or whatever it is, you know When you're paying up 10,000 for you know, coal or scherzer or the rom or whoever might be like He's fifty five hundred dollars if he puts up 30 points again, we're roughly around there like that's awesome And then you can pay up for literally any hitting stack that you want with that savings. Uh, it's absolutely phenomenal Uh Michael on on on youtube saying Pittsburgh line of sight looks quite weak more reasonable like gray absolutely Looking to go to gray in all formats Alvin white is asking process question Also, do you look into recent forms of a pitcher and offenses you want to stack or just focus on their overall numbers So it's both you want to look at their overall overall form You want to look at uh, you know last two weeks of their of a hit of a hitting stack or a pitcher Obviously pitchers, you know, I can't just look at two two start and say okay He pitched 10 innings in those these two starts. What are we looking at? I'll look back over, you know the entire month of July and tire since june or say since the start of july since the start of june and then his season overall saying Okay, is his strikeout rate dipping in the past two months Or actually okay his strikeout rates the same He just gave up a few home runs here and there and that's why his starts look bad Or you know a couple hitters that they had a couple bad games But you know, they bounced it out with home run upside that we're always chasing So it's it's a bit of both you can't just say oh I'm only looking at his start since the beginning of june and he's been bad since the beginning of june When it's really he's just getting burned by a couple of home runs, but his strikeout rate is still strong So it's it's like halfway between both you don't want to like Put blinders on And block out information. You want to say how does his overall Season long stats reflect what he's been currently doing. Are we on the same path? Is he regressing? Uh, is he getting better blah blah blah Jared on facebook is saying uh, do you play nick castellanos in his first game back? Absolutely if castellanos is able to go which he is he was activated off the il today I mentioned that on the solo shot this morning that he was expected to be I want castellanos like he's a phenomenal hitter. He's $3,500. I think that's relatively affordable for a player Of his caliber. I want a top four stack from the reds. I'm going to be going straight to this Exact four man stack here of vado winker india and castellanos I'm also going to be dipping down a little bit because I need a little bit of value in some lineup builds We're paying up for sunny gray Plus some hitters is getting expensive So I'll certainly look to drop down a little bit and and take some shares of kyle farmer and tyler naikwin just to go with like a three four six seven kind of lineup build just to differentiate and also get that needed salaried relief Jared on facebook is asking favorite stacks of the day atlanta new york sincey. What's your take? I'm on board with all of those. I think new york and sincey are going to be very chalky But then atlanta a team that probably shouldn't be too popular they're kind of falling in this mid tier which Uh could have them going overlooked, but they're going up against wade leblanc Who's a picture that's been in the majors for a number of years? He's giving up too too many home runs like this is a combination of Too many home runs a picture that does not strike hitters out Too many walks and we're and we're seeing some you know good fly balls from him No, that just has me leaning more towards the braves and like I said, they've been in the same spot the past couple days They're going against john lester two nights ago Jay hap Last night now for since now now for st. Louis These lefty pictures that don't strike out hitters that give up too many fly balls You know, why are we not going to so many of the braves hitters done? I i'm fully on board with the braves night Which is give a quick refresh to this to see if their lineup has been confirmed the braves. Ah, just confirm Oh and gary is out for the Yankees tonight, so that'll change things up So higashiyoka is now starting for them. All right, so for the braves Albie Soler freeman riley swanson duval All of those hitters are in play the top six for the braves are all absolutely in play now. So layers numbers are uh inflated is saying that he has a 600 iso Versus left-handed pitching is obviously not the case this season because it only counts for his time specifically On the braves obviously it's going to be much lower than 600 But so where? Historically a great hitter versus lefties plenty of power swanson is someone I have a ton of interest in tonight Really like his hitting profile versus uh wade labanque and then going to adam duval going to freder freeman Going to azi albies or all players i'll be looking to so since he absolutely Going to the Yankees absolutely and then the braves if they're going to be under value tonight along with the indians teams That are not going to be heavily targeted. That's exactly where I want to be going Do I like the royals tonight? I think I understand why people are going there going up against dallas kaiko as I've said As I said this morning, you know dallas kaiko isn't a big strikeout pitcher I'm going to have a few shares of him tonight Just because I the match up versus Kansas City is good overall But we do see dallas kaiko struggling a little bit when it comes to The home runs this season let's take a little bit of a more look at some of his numbers So not a big strikeout pitcher, you know walks are okay. They're not terrible. Here's the issue He is a big big time ground ball pitcher 54 percent like there's a difference between a pitcher Like wade labanque who's a low strikeout pitcher and a high fly ball pitcher dallas kaiko is a low strikeout pitcher and a predominantly ground ball pitcher So he really does not give up a whole lot of fly balls or hard contact now This isn't to say, you know going against the grain and taking maybe a one-off from The royals as an option as a you know for some home run upside going to Sal Perez who's been hot as a lake going to carlo santana Who has some home run upside? I think that's certainly fine I'm not looking to fully stack the royals But I do think that taking a one-off or or two from them wouldn't be the worst call Especially if you go with like a four to two lineup build be a little bit different in torments grab Santana and Perez that could be good for canons in city Mike Mike on facebook is asking who's the best pitcher tonight the easy answer sonny gray He's the best pitcher on tonight's slate Um, that's just the reality of the situation That's the reality of a six game slate where we can say that he is the best pitcher on tonight's slate Framber valdez. I think is slightly more expensive than he should be Especially given the fact that he has a strikeout rate That's eight percent lower than sonny gray sonny gray is up at 29 percent Framber valdez down to 21 and a half percent. So sonny gray is the easy answer on who's the best pitcher on tonight's slate Nathan's saying that carnals are also playing horrible. That's true. That's why I have a bit of interest in Tucson tonight Uh, you know boasting a strong strikeout rate this season I'll give her this at 28.2. He has he has a very small 17 inning sample size Mostly ground balls mostly medium contact from him again small sample size But this cardinals lineup is not one that i'm afraid of they're in the bottom 15 or bottom 20 of the league when it comes to iso when it comes to w rc Plus when it comes to fly balls generated versus righties this season Uh, and the white socks alvin is saying on my board with the the white socks thing Yes, i'm gonna be on board the white socks going up against the annual lynch More than the royals You know the white socks are going to be in this tier of chalky teams So whether you roll with the white socks the blue jays or the reds or whoever might be They're all in a very very good spot and I didn't touch on the white socks specifically this morning Uh, just because I want to differentiate roll with some different teams here And I think I spoke about the white socks a couple days ago So just to mix things up. I really do like the white socks tonight. I'm gonna have plenty of exposure to them I think you should be going to them Very confidently who are you prioritizing on cleveland after reyes and ramirez and michael on youtube is asking That would be bobby bradley. Let's flip to cleveland Uh, bobby bradley $2,500 obviously very affordable 247 iso this season versus righties is obviously great to see Uh bradley doesn't generate a whole lot of fly balls, but he does have a very strong 41.2% home run the fly ball ratio. So when he is getting the ball in the air, it's going for home runs a very strong percentage of the time So broadly, uh, bobby bradley at $2,500 with the 247 iso would be the next player That would be the ideal three-man stack from the indians would be ramirez reyes and bradley And then if you want to add in just like zimmer at 2200 just to round out a stack and you grab a bit of value That wouldn't be the worst case For cleveland stack, uh, nathan on facebook is asking rizzo show tonight. Sure. Uh, i'm on board the Yankees tonight weather I'll let's just double check their lineup because so gary is out So lemeku rizzo judge stanton gallo treas o dory higashiyoka and davis. So davis is the newly acquired jonathan davis, uh Right here minimum salary. They just the Yankees just picked them up off of waivers Uh the other day so You know minimum salary, uh, if you were to You know do a wrap around stack again just to be different in tournaments because most people for they're gonna be stacking Yankees It's gonna be one two three four or two three four five something like that We know that but just to be a little bit different It doesn't hurt to take nine one two three or nine one two four something like that Just to mix it up a little bit and you're getting a player that's at minimum salary And and ultimately he's on a team with a 5.46 implied one total So that's like those are the situations where I do go to a wrap around stack. It's where I know I'm trusting the offense overall And just also because we're dealing with a smaller slate where you know, I want to prioritize paying it for sunny gray And that isn't the easiest when i'm trying to pay up for multiple hitters in the high $3,000 range Or if we go to toronto multiple hitters in the $4,000 range like we just need Salary relief at some point jerry on facebook is saying homer city in st Louis and lanta bats two through six all hitting homers Listen, if that happens, I think we will all be very happy because As I said, Atlanta should not be overly popular tonight. They should be less popular compared to some of these top teams going to Uh, the braves are confirmed, right? We have the braves. Uh, yeah Outside of albies who I understand you say it doesn't have a ton of power But so they are freeman riley swanson and duvall Yes, any of those hitters all of those hitters. I want all of those hitters to hit at home on tonight. That would be great Uh, do you like diaz or mccormick and value plays for uh from houston tonight? Uh, let me just double check this to see if houston is confirmed They are not so i'm on board with houston tonight. It really comes down to what Uh, their lineup looks like I would side with almedes diaz over chasm and cormick for houston Really looking to stay mostly in this, you know mid to upper tier Obviously your don and kyle tucker bring an immense amount of power from the left hand from the left side For houston, I think you can be firmly looking to them going up against griffin jacks for minnesota Only 26 inning sample size in his first year in the majors If we look to his splits, he's also not a big time a strikeout pitcher 20 and 18 percent To over two and a half home runs per nine to right. He's over one or at one and a half as I say versus lefties I think we can be looking to plenty of the houston bats tonight. I would side with almedes diaz as the value play from houston Uh braves won't need a lot of runs to win tonight. Nathan is saying yes because um I think you're that you're implying or someone said before that like uh the cardinals are struggling right now Which is true. Uh savon i'm looking for another secondary stack for today. I know seattle was cheap before some players Yes, seattle's fine. Uh, I think cleveland and You know cleveland and atlanta are probably my top two like you know quote-unquote, uh secondary stacks Uh, depending on who makes the lineup depending on how cheap that you actually need You know if you have a libero salary duval and swanson and soleir are not that expensive But if you want to go to seattle, I understand it like there's no doubt that they're in a good spot It's not a great spot. You know nester cortez is showing Some good stuff, but you know hanager has some great righty lefty splits I wouldn't hate looking to tie france abram toro has been very hot as of late He's only $2,500. So I wouldn't hate looking there if you uh if you need the salary relief But cleveland atlanta are my favorite secondary stacks on tonight's sleep I guess you could put seattle third If you took a two-man stack from the royals of pares and carlo santana I wouldn't hate that as like a a little mini stack for the royals against dalas kykel That's not horrible when you're you know, they certainly have plenty of homerun upside It's just for the white socks like if they get the lead, you know that bullpen for the white socks is very strong so Certainly not something I like enjoy picking on especially if they're not going to get it done early Who would you roster on the reds who anyone on the reds? Uh one what did I say one through? Or the reds they got confirmed one through Four is my favorite stack If I I mean if we could pay for anyone india winker castellanos and vado for the reds is absolutely awesome But again, it might have to take a few shares of kyle farmer or tyler naikwin just to differentiate differentiate things So going like three four six seven from the reds isn't uh Um Isn't the worst like three four six seven from the reds you get some power on the top You get a little bit of value with farmer and naikwin You can certainly do that. What does wrc plus mean? So wrc plus stands for weighted runs created Which is right here. It's a better way of Looking at you know, well the plus w weighted runs created plus it's a better way to Like show the value of a hitter like we don't use batting average You know, you don't want to use like on base any of those things. So you want to look at Like woeba and wrc plus. It's like when we account for Not only what they do but their park factor if we account for the park factor obviously because some Parks are significantly better for pitchers some are significantly better for hitters So if we account for park factor and wait what they're doing appropriately, we get a better number. So 100 So like a 100 wrc plus would be the league average. So anything below 100 would be below league average So like the cardinals are what's like a 94 wrc plus whatever versus right-handed pitching Which means that they are below the league average versus righties Uh, should I roll with uh zavala ref schneider or carpenter and or carp? Oh, it's a 2v2 Zavala and ref schneider or carpenter and tom murphy Uh, yeah carpenter isn't the same hitter. He was a number of seasons ago like mac carpenter in 2015 2016 was like awesome versus Both lefties and righties I would go with zavala and ref schneider if uh, if you have to make that choice Eric on youtube saying my favorite stack is Cincinnati, but I have sunny gray also Is that too much exposure to one team? No, you know, if you If you look to correlate things If you look to correlate things you know It makes a little bit more sense in other sports, you know, specifically When it comes to nhl. I I've explained this more when I when I do our nhl podcast uh, but when it comes to baseball there's there's less correlation, but Ultimately if sunny gray in terms of real baseball is going to pick up the win Right, and you want those win points those win fantasy points out of sunny gray How is that going to happen? Well, it's likely going to be happening happening happened by a him pitching well Which means he's going to be limiting runs going deep into the game and probably picking up strikeouts But it also means that Cincinnati is going to have the league Like the only way he gets the win is if when he leaves the game They have the lead which means you want their hitters to produce runs So they are correlated since he goes off for a bunch of runs Sunny gray picks up the win and what how does he pick up the win? Which means he's probably you know, he's going five six seven innings limiting the runs he's giving up and The uh, hopefully picking up strikeouts along the way So you are kind of putting your eggs in one-ish basket But when if you're right, you're gonna be very right. All right, and that's how you get to the top of tournaments Uh, Nathan is saying that Matt Carpenter is done for baseball. Yeah, it's probably uh Probably true Cal our wonderful producer is saying talk me into Jonathan Davis besides Being the singer on corny allows me to get to vladi junior and sunny gray, which is true and You know, ultimately there's a difference between taking value Like on a bag team or like on a a team that we're not expecting much from or You know, Jonathan Davis on the Yankees as the nine hitter. He's on a home favorite that's expected You know with the with the third highest implied run total So looking to him like is not it's not the ideal call But you're still getting exposure to a good team and you add him into a wrap-around stack or whatever might be You have to take him as a one-off because he's minimum salary Like ultimately that's fine if the rest of your lineup is looking perfect Do you have any faith in seattle that they do hit the ball? Well, they do hit the ball well at times Tyfrans seager and hanager. Yes, uh, listen, there's no doubt that this is a um positive park shift for seattle going from I don't know if it's still called safe go up in seattle, but they're at yankee stadium regardless, which is a great hitters park Uh, i'm big on mitch hanager on most nights. He has a solid solid splits regardless of these uh facing righties or lefties Kyle seager has let me just bring up uh seager real quickly because he has actually Despite it being a lefty lefty mac or for kyle seager. He actually has some significant fly ball numbers Uh significant fly ball numbers versus lefties this season I think it's that like 45 or 50 versus lefties Uh fly ball for seager. It's at 48 versus lefties So like a 48 fly ball, uh rate and a 37 hard contact rate versus lefties at yankee stadium is certainly something that will play so Uh going to seager or hanager and france. I think it's a fine three-man stack dj is saying wouldn't toronto be your number one stack Yes, I think that toronto has immense upside tonight going up against tristan mckenzie A 51 fly ball rate is absolutely horrible Coming in with a 16 walk rate right now Listen, he's got some gas on the mound as I said on the solar shot this morning a 28 strikeout rate is you know nothing to Uh, you know laugh at and 33 is absolutely unbelievable as well And he showed this over his first two years in the majors But a 16 walk rate The potential downside for mckenzie is legitimately Two innings six or seven earned runs like letting runners on base against toronto As I said last night is not going to end well like Seven or eight times out of ten now sure can he pitch himself out of trouble as I kind of mentioned Yes, if he gets that strikeout rate to shine and he gets these hitters to chase He could go five innings and have seven eight strikeouts and only give up two earned runs But the potential downside for him is massive with that fly ball rate and the walks allowed So yes, toronto would be my number one stack Uh, do you have the white socks or red? Ranked higher. Uh, I would go with the reds. I'm going to lean with the reds tonight. I like them slightly over the white socks Uh, for me it would be toronto To rate my top stack tonight would be toronto Cincinnati new york Chicago white socks as my main four and then the secondary stacks would be cleveland Atlanta seattle for those How do you like stripling tonight? I don't I will have zero shares of Stripling stripling is a picture that I'm when I when I go to make my lineups It's unclicking his name removing him from my player pool Too many home runs not a favor of that too many fly balls Listen, if I get burned by raw stripling tonight, then I guess I'll just take that loss there And and move on but he is not a pitcher that I am Comfortable with rostra and given some of the potential power on cleveland better choice for value Dickerson or davis cori dickerson on toronto If that lineup is confirmed We're looking at a bit of a toss up here that has been confirmed toronto. Is he still minimum salary? He's still minimum salary If he's batting sixth Right, this hasn't projected to bat sixth if cori dickerson is batting sixth You would want to take him over davis who's batting ninth who's confirmed batting ninth So wait till we get the it's only 4 30. So just wait till we get the Uh confirmed lineup for the blue jays But if dickerson's at sixth you would want to take him because again as I mentioned yesterday A player higher in the lineup, especially in a home team where if they're winning they don't bat in the ninth So they're always going to have lower expected plate appearances dickerson will always have More expected plate appearances at sixth in terms in uh over davis at ninth So I would lean towards dickerson in that spot And then dj final question. Do you play donce? Uh, I assume you mean josh donelson? Despite the hamstring on minnesota Probably not. I understand why people go to minnesota as a stat tonight Uh, I just don't think especially especially at the third base position overall I think that there were better options that we can be going to where I would want to take shares of dj La mayhew Who's a little bit cheaper to get exposure to the yankees or I just would rather pay up for austin riley or jonathan india To get exposure to offenses that i'm a little more confident tonight over minnesota gallo or stanton tonight if you had to pick one to build new york sting uh new york stack around, uh What's it gallo is like he went ahead four strikeouts last night, uh, if there's any time for him to get his yankee Uh, his his like first head of yankee stating or whatever is going I guess would be tonight, but Are they the same salary do we know that gallo stanton I mean stanton is cruising right now. It's tough. It's it's you have to take stanton You have to take stanton in the righty lefty matchup over gallo and a lefty lefty despite his fly ball rate All right, so that does it for today's q and a I think we're gonna be in for plenty of scoring tonight Plenty of home runs. Hopefully plenty from the reds the blue jays the Yankees all these sorts of teams I will be back tomorrow morning at 9 a.m For the solo shot right here on the feindl youtube page You can't be tomorrow here at the same time four o'clock on the feindl youtube twitch and facebook page answering your questions tomorrow We have 14 games late So there should be plenty of options as always you can find this on the A feindl youtube page you can find me on twitter at dfs underscore tom until next time good luck in your contest
