 here in 2019 Patrick Reed won 16 under and then in 2013 Adam Scott was 11 under and then before that nine under was the winning score so not the most not the lowest lowest scores that we typically see you know going 20 under anything like that but that's what we're dealing with for this week if you want to look at the if this will load a whole by whole breakdown have lots of computer issues for I've been pretty smooth overall since I started doing these and I anticipated a ton of issues but today's the day that things are starting to bust so that's alright I got a lot I got a lot of information in my spreadsheet that I can still go over but one thing I always like to do is pull up this course fit tool and just kind of look at the the most important stats for a particular course data golf does a really good job breaking this down they do have a slight emphasis on driving distance but it's not necessarily substantially more important than what you have at your average PGA tour course just a little bit driving accuracy gets a little bit de-emphasized so basically what this is showing that is that driving distance is always more important more indicative of success than driving accuracy but the driving distance isn't necessarily that much more important than it typically is so I'm not going to not going to look at golfers who only launch it and that kind of makes sense with Patrick Reed having one here back in 2019 so again I'm seeing some questions in so I will get to those if you have any just hit up the comment section YouTube Facebook Twitter Twitch and I will get to those question one and done pull if you like for a top 10 finish between English burger Matsuyama and Reed I'm going to go just blindly with Patrick Reed there and then I will pull up my finder here I'll pull up all those guys and we can compare them side by side not Bermuda we got bentgrass this week so you pull that up so it's a good list of names and that actually speaks to the depth of the field for this week and one of the reasons why I think if you're building Fando lineups you can kind of really pepper that 10,000 range so let's go English Daniel burger Hideki and Patrick Reed so of these my win simulation model does prefer Daniel burger straight up so I wouldn't really fault you there I just like Patrick Reed because of an emphasis on short game for the week I think it's one of those courses where yes distance does matter but if scores are going to be a little bit tighter toward 10 under par then you know running away into like the 20 under easily and Patrick Reed's though a pretty good birdie maker at least better than you would probably expect above field average over the past 50 rounds according to Fantasy National but you know he's not gonna get that distance boost but really none of these guys are it's just a short game is so so good that I like Patrick Reed for this week I think Daniel burger I mean I guess if it's a one and done and it runs through the PGA towards season I wouldn't fault you for going just with Daniel burger because he's you're running out of chances but if it's like through the calendar year I think this is a really good week for Patrick Reed to have a pretty safe top-ten finish I still have JT Bryson Brooks left so figuring out who to save for the final two events I mean if you've got those three for this week like for the final three weeks I would probably just go with those three for this week I would lean JT because the short game is a lot better for JT than Bryson and Brooks and by short game I mean specifically the wedge play I would not fault you for just playing those three so again to answer your first question I'd say read then burger and then for your second question I would rank them this week JT Brooks and then Bryson so I think that this week is really intriguing from a DFS perspective because we've got John Rom this week at a really small like a really short number on Fandall Sports Book at 10 to 1 but that's not quite reflected in his Fandall salary right that's 12,000 Jordan Spieth is 100 cheaper in salary than John Rom is and as you can see here my wind simulation model is really high on John Rom not surprisingly I'm a wind simulation model for anyone who hasn't tuned in before it's based on your past year of data it is adjusted for the field strengths you plan across the PG tour European tour and cornfairy tour but it's not really relevant for this week and also recency so it puts in more weight on more recent rounds so things about a year ago not quite as important John Rom you know it matches the actual win odds that you can bet I think John Rom still kind of a fine value despite this tough field that's how good he's been over the past years gaining an average of 2.6 adjusted strokes per round against what you would kind of consider the baseline golfer next up in this field is Xander at a 2.06 so again Rom like half a stroke better than the next best guy so that's gonna reflect in the win odds but again it's different between betting John Rom which I still think is like I don't really bet favorites especially in tough fields like this but he's kind of a good value but when it comes to a fandal salary of 12,000 I think that John Rom is kind of a lock for cash games and you don't have to particularly worry about it he's just that good at everything a 99th percentile in stroking it off the tee which is not a key stat for me necessarily but he's also 80th percentile in approach play 84th around the green 71st in putting over the past year that also accounts for field strength and recency putting those more recent rounds up the list and even if you remove that elite off the tee play roms in the 90th percentile in fairway through green strokes gained which I think is kind of intriguing this week because distance is not a must and anytime that's the case kind of levels out the playing field web Simpsons done well here in the past for example so guys like Ian polter finished well here so for me roms the number one on fandal without a whole lot of issue the question sort of becomes who's number two and honestly for me it's going to be Jordan spieth at 11 9 I know we're not getting a ton of savings I know spieth's going to be popular but not nearly as popular as John Rom all the research I've done into this has shown that the betting favorite and the highest salary golfer pretty much locks to be the most popular plays so I think ROM is especially being John Rom in the form that John Rom's in right now is going to be super chalky but spieth he's someone who really benefits if we're down playing off the tee play to a degree because he jumps up to the 97th percentile and that fairway through green strokes gained over the past year you know in his off the tee plays moving up but this still looks at a full year and even though it's more more weighted toward recent recent rounds we're looking at someone who's a little bit still kind of bogged down not the best driver out of the studs but for me spieth with that elite short game elite iron play really appealing for this week but I mean you look at a field like this and it's I wouldn't talk anyone out of any of the golfers let's see here I'll zoom in so you can see these names a little bit better but ROM spieth I'm not super high on Rory even though the irons are back yeah like maybe Abe answer but this should set up well for answer honestly I think he was actually runner-up here in 2019 if I'm not mistaken like I would probably say Sam Burns at 9400 and so you could flip Neiman over him you have to give like 9400 before I would actively like talk you out of somebody specific for this week and that's kind of just what we're dealing with and so that kind of takes me back to something that I've researched in the past it of tougher field strengths when you look at an optimal Fando lineup in a tougher field you basically see that the winner comes from a higher salary tier because you're not getting winners in like the 7000 range ever the 8000 range the low 9000 sometimes but the winner is more likely to be someone in this like 10s 10 8 range and up roughly and then you're also not seeing as much salary vacated in an optimal lineup in a full field event you'll get things you kind of see things skewed whenever like two or three value plays just really you know go nuts you don't typically see that in a full or a small field tough field so this week I think a balanced approach makes a lot of sense from a daily fantasy standpoint that's why a lot of these names highlighted in green like yes I love John Rom Jordan Spieth I always love Xander I think he's a great place number one on my combo model which combines the stats I'm looking at and waiting in and also the adjusted strokes game numbers over the past year where again Xander second behind only John Rom but you see a lot of these names in this tier Patrick Cantley I think is undervalued I think he's a good win bet to at 33 to 1 Victor Hoblin one of my favorite plays this week at 10,500 I think that he's under salaried but at a certain point these guys have to be under salaried like I could say Paul Casey Webb Simpson under salaried because they should be higher but you can't really make everyone 11,000 that doesn't really work that way so anytime we get a major Esk field we just take these we can take we can take these savings right and say I'm gonna build around Hovland Webb Casey Patrick Reed Tyrell Hatton Joaquin Neiman like it you will feel good about all six of your golfers and that you know makes us feel a little bit fuzzy but it also comes down to probabilities where if you are rostering some golfers down here and I do have some tagged I think it's actually kind of a surprisingly good value week with Cameron Golly Kevin Strillman Keegan Bradley is really really strong T degree right now Charlie Hoffman's made all three cuts here since 2009 like you can make that case but whenever you're rostering golfers down here you see the win equity just drop pretty substantially for most of these golfers and so you're saying well I'm gonna I'm gonna play Charlie Hoffman that's gonna free me up to pick the winner you better pick the winner with that salary that you saved and I know you need to pick the winner anyway but what you're really doing is saying you're kind of getting yourself five chances to hit that winner as opposed to all six and if you go back and look at the individual winners of FedEx Cup events it's the studs like just go back and look I tweeted about this it's the Super Stars virtually every time and so you need to kind of find out where that demarcation line is for you and for me it's kind of around Jason Cope Rack I like some of these values Cam Trin golly Kevin Strillman Keegan Bradley Charlie Hoffman even Taylor Gooch down at 7800 but I'm gonna limit my my rosters to one of those golfers because I don't feel confident why I I'm not I know the probabilities right and you don't want to say I'm gonna roster three of these value guys so that I can get rom speed and can't lay and those are gonna be the top three because they kind of have to be the top three in order for that value to score enough points especially if there aren't a lot of birdies this week because that's gonna put a higher percentage of fandal points on the from the finishing positions as opposed to birdies like that's what we're gonna see if the scores play closer like 1200 as opposed to 20 under so that's kind of what I'm seeing this week from a roster construction standpoint where I'm gonna be building around specifically Victor Hovland Patrick can't lay web Simpson Paul Casey I think it's just a really strong tier in this range Patrick Reed as well for this week that's just kind of how things go in these types of fields so I'm gonna bump over to my win simulations for the week again any any final questions get those in on any of the chats YouTube Facebook Twitter Twitch but for now I'm gonna look at some of my favorite bets and this is what I was talking about with John Rom being a positive expected value which is kind of surprising with that almost 10 percent win probability for this week it's really flat behind him and so I think part of the reason that you see value on him is you're gonna you know when you see substantial value like point eight points on any golfer in the top like 10 you're gonna see golfers who are overvalued based on the model and we see that with Rory McElroy down here I like Rory better than the model does but the model is accounting for a lot of the poor play from the early part of 2021 which is still part of his data set again the irons are really strong right now but that's not enough for me and for the model I should say in this instance to like him as an outright bet Brooks Capcom always super hard to model because he just has those weeks where he's not fully engaged and so we see bad value on him same for DJ and Colin Morikawa not because they're like super unlikely to win relative to other golfers but they just happen to be the ones who are closest to ROM at 17 to 1 you can get someone like Hovland who right now really really strong t-degree numbers we've seen winners here at Liberty National Rank between 20th and 32nd so on average 26th the in strokes game putting for the week that they won Victor Hovland obviously his strengths are primarily ball striking but also t-degree not necessarily putting all those putting hasn't been the 70th percentile over the past year relative to this field with that you know field strength adjustments that's pretty strong it's been trending up but t-degree and I think you know that's what puts Victor Hovland toward the top of the win simulation model puts in value on him Xander also a value and someone else the guy kind of skipped over and getting back to you now Jordan Spieth the model doesn't really like him that much but I do so I'm gonna disagree with the model a little bit here bump up Jordan Spieth he's one of my favorite when when bets for the week I'm kind of narrowing things down to Spieth and Hovland to start my betting card Jordan Spieth just like you know we've seen winners here not necessarily be nuking it off the tee some of the best golfers who have done well at this course not necessarily like launching it off the tee so that that fits well for what Jordan Spieth can do at his peak you can putt really well obviously and so for me Jordan Spieth is the first place I'm looking from a betting card and then it kind of helps because I get Victor Hovland down there at 31 to 1 in that range to kind of balance things out and go from there as for some longer shots maybe some top 10s top 20s walking Neiman I like him this week really affordable salary on Fandall slight value here at 65 to 1 to win outright but very much in play for a top 10 for this week Kam Trangali kind of a top 20 bet Charlie Hoffman someone I mentioned like yeah maybe if you anchor your Fandall lineups with him like one golfer in that tier is going to be it's going to open you up to get back up to someone like John Rom if you want to get if you want to go that route too many of those guys not necessarily appealing to me but a top 20 for Charlie Hoffman who's got 93rd percent tile adjusted iron player over the past year has actually made all three cuts it's one of four golfers who have made all three cuts at this course in his career along with Phil Mickelson in this field Phil Mickelson web Simpson and Adam Scott so I think Charlie Hoffman standout value play also in play for a top 20 for this week so I think it's a really intriguing week for DFS but also from a betting standpoint for the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs you can do things like look at FedEx Cup standings and try to play that angle but I don't really get into that because you never know how particular golfers are going to react to the pressure that's one one of the narratives that I tried to kind of bake in in the past and it hasn't necessarily led to success and like you can point to it after the fact and say yes he made made a cut because of the FedEx Cup standings sometimes doesn't always work out someone like Justin Rose three-putted to just a miss and so I don't really like to go that route but honestly I think there are a lot of good values here another two golfers here who rate out as positive expected values in my model Tony Finau and Tiro Hatton they were super hot now they're not quite so hot but they have really nice both Fandall salaries in the mid 9,000 range and then also good win odds it's plus 6,000 each I think those guys are both live for outright wins honestly but also top tens especially Finau because Finau has not converted wins at a very high rate at all unfortunately but Tony Finau really strong long-term adjusted form and I think that this is one of the spots where you know you look at Tony Finau and say he's he's trending down it's not really really the case in his data but the long-term form still looks quite good for Finau so that makes him a slight betting value for this week but whenever Hoffman I'll see see just the best values I think John Rom's probably soaking up a lot of that positive expected value Tiro Hatton, Hovland, Finau, Harman talked about all these guys Jason Kochrak I love he's he's done pretty well here in the past just a salary of 9,100 pull him up on the finder real quick because he's one of my favorite one my favorite value plays really good off-the-tea numbers which is not a key like them the most key stat this week but it is something that I'm waiting in for sure and then the approach play still still strong for this field and the putting numbers for Kochrak surprisingly strong he's actually had some long-term adjustments to his putting so for me this week I think Kochrak just to stand out I think he's very much in play for an outright at 75 so one also if you're not quite on you know on board with that top 10 top 20 for Kochrak but also someone who offers a lot of salary relief for this week and I can't really talk too much about Jason Kochrak without bringing up the fact that he is a heat check favorite the heat check podcast that Jim Sonison I do every Tuesday for every PGA event you guys know you're probably all just waiting for me to stop talking about golf so that you can ask Jim about baseball this late for this evening so Jim's gonna come on in just a second and you can get all of those Phillies questions for tonight comment from Mr. Jackie Moon I don't know much about golf but I'm fascinated with your win simulator it's awesome thank you put in take that Jim Jim always is talking bad about my win simulations always makes me feel kind of bad about me what so I yeah it was it's nice to get some reassurance here Jackie don't slide of him come on your Jackie you are my friend via these chats I don't know why you would possibly compliment Brandon also is it like storming where you are right now like you're you look very dark and it's kind of like is is there like a monsoon going through Pennsylvania or what what's up here no I I ask producer Cal about this before the show but I like how the name is now producer Cal first name producer last name Cal yeah Cal but I mean like when I do the heat check with you I use one computer that I have all my data on yeah and it comes through like really bright yeah and it's like the same conditions aside from a little bit later in the day when I do these but like my other computer with this camera on it is like a lot darker and I'm always trying to like dodge and find like where I catch the light right so I think it's my computer I don't think it's a monsoon it's just a monsoon I think a monsoon is just a seasonal reversal it's not necessarily like a heavy rain or cloudy I don't know what that means anyway I'm gonna let you go so you can go shovel more camera and trim golly into your DFS lineups take the smart route take the co-crack take the pocket Kings pocket aces pocket Queens and have yourself a good week we'll talk to you later yeah you too I'm looking forward to all of your baseball knowledge and for the the new spreadsheet that I made for you that I'm not using we can pull that up now actually and I will show you the eye-bleeding conditional formatting that is still there just for you you're welcome mad you're welcome thank you for the new sheet but I'm not gonna use it so I appreciate it either way that's Brandon Cadulla check him out on Twitter at Cadulla 13 and check out for more Brandon check out the heat check fantasy podcast wherever you get your podcast by searching for the number fire daily fantasy podcast feed with that let's transition now into major league baseball for today get you set for a 14 game slate for tonight and it is a good because I think that there are viable pitchers in each salary tier for today we got some high salary guys mid-salary and a value play I do like quite a bit let's start things off here Jackie over on twitch he enjoys a data slash stack keeping something like that is cool to me talking about brain and simulations trying to get into stats more for a job somewhere in the future okay so Jackie will get you integrated with MLB stats because you know they don't work out for your job they can at least hopefully win you some money via bets and via some DFS and of course as Jackie would would hopefully remind us very soon it is Dinger Tuesday so of course a good day to check that out over a faddle sports book wow Jackie good timing I think you said that right as I was saying it so good timing on that so it is indeed Dinger Tuesday for today I'm sure all questions about dingers later on my official home run picks for today on the solo shop this morning a believer core seeker in Shaz McCormick so we'll see once those lines come out if they're in there for today they were not less than a refreshed here and okay Chas McCormick batting sixth which means Chas McCormick guaranteed to go deep for today also led Miss Diaz batting fourth so that means you know you're Don Alvarez he had a tummy ache last night so left that game early so maybe it's an extended tummy ache for your Don Alvarez hopefully nothing more because I'd be pretty gross but either way we have Chas McCormick batting sixth led Miss Diaz batting fourth let's actually go over here and build out an Astros stack I know we've got some questions with from Mateo on YouTube let's start things off here talking about the Astros Mateo was asking on Twitter today about the Astros so we'll get out in front of this right now and talk about that stack let's do this stack with Corbin burns because burns is the highest salary picture I want to use and I think you can stack the Astros with burns for today so let's put a let Miss Diaz in there they're not loaded in yet but he is batting fourth let's put Chas in the outfield as well batting down in sixth I want Carlos Correa in there let's do that and then I think let's let's let's look into Taylor Jones batting seventh that's high enough to be viable for me I mean you can be viable anywhere but seventh is definitely not a negative by any means so let's go over here check out Taylor Jones he is a righty and triple A this year 217 ISO that's okay it's not great it's fine 42% fly ball rate that's okay in the majors 5.1 percent barrel rate 32% fly ball rate 41% hard hit rate so the numbers are not bad let's see we can see small sample versus lefties 182 ISO I mean it's 24 plate appearances it kind of who cares but I don't know I think you could you could talk yourself in them if you really needed the savings you probably don't I would say for today but let's just you know see where he's at is he minimum salary $2,100 but he feels third base it's kind of fun okay so if we do that 3225 left that's not too bad but if we want to skip over him if we go Jose Altuve put him in the utility slot he's 37 that's not too bad we can get by with that and then let's go Yuli to put us a 29 something that's not too bad either so stacking the Astros with Corbin burns very doable for today let's start the questions off with Mateo over on YouTube do you like the righties in 10th Bay that lineup is out okay so let's check out the rays matchup first facing John means means is a guy I loved earlier on this year but since coming out the IL things have not been going well 5.16 skill interactive era 15% strikeout rate a lot of fly balls the one good thing means has done is limited to hard contact 33% hard hit rate against let's pull up the numbers that's not the right person okay let's go over here highlight and the adventures of Jim in Google sheets continue let's see what the results look like for John means specifically because he has the low hard hit rate against can often see gas between peripherals and results there but did let up three home runs against Detroit last week two against Tampa Bay in his first start back so and I think that might have been before the Nelson cruise trade either way I think that we can definitely use guys against means let's check out this raise lineup and see what it looks like cruise yes or a serena yes Yanby's been hitting more fly balls recently Margot yes Zanino yes loop low no absolutely not okay so let's go over here and check out Yanby specifically because he's been showing more power recently than he has in the past I I would like cross off yonnie Diaz in the past because didn't have hit enough fly balls didn't hit for enough power still a 115 ISO for the full season let's pull up Yanby's numbers let's say since the all-star break and compare what is bad at bald data looks like now versus what it looked like before then go to the game log and let's go to stack cast and let's go from now and check out since the break in that time launch angle 14.7% it was 6.8% overall barrel rate is 17% Yauza 6.9% overall a lot more hard context it seems like Yanby Diaz has made some sort of tweak to his swing that is allowing him to get more loft and get more power in his stick in that time 286 ISO so yeah I'm into yonnie Diaz actually Mateo honestly like I wasn't initially think I would stack the rays here because they're a team I am much more inclined to stack versus a righty than a lefty because I love brain allow love Austin Meadows love Jim on show but we go cruise let's go cruise let's go yonnie let's pull let's buy into the potential swing changes there let's get Margot in there Arosa Raina might be a bit too high I think he's 39 $39 that's fine I think but let's go Zanino because I love the power so I think that you know Arosa Raina is fine if you're going like not burns you have the salary but like if I'm trying to save salary to get to burns I think this is pretty enticing so I think I'm higher on a raise full stack than I was before Mateo so yeah I think that they're they're enticing for me I'm willing to go there I think these probably the four guys I turned to it burns if I'm going Manoa or going with Logan Webb for today then I think that I would try to get Arosa Raina in there likely over Margot so if it's if it's Webb or Manoa put in Arosa Raina over Margot that'd be the four player stack for the race so Vaughn is asking best game for offense okay let's go over here check out some temperatures I mean like if we're just talking about overall conditions it'd be the Rockies you know Coors Field for today because the temperatures high the winds blowing out it's a great park I will say though that like I like I like Marquez very good pitcher so that lowers me on the Padres Rockies facing a combination likely of Matt Strom and one of their right handed relievers with longer relievers so I think that the Rockies are fine but they're not like a priority for me so it's the best environment for hitting but it's not you know my favorite option to stack for today I'm looking at one side of that game I mean the Angels and Tigers game is pretty enticing on both sides the problem is that like there aren't a lot of injured individual batters I want to use just because the Tigers pretty high salaried the Angels don't have a lot of guys I like using so that might be the best game for offense but not the best game for DFS let's talk to Diffuse on YouTube how well are the Mariners grading out for you they're fine Taylor Hearn has been doing a better job of suppressing hard contacts since he moved into the rotation pull that stick I don't know probably not he doesn't let up a ton of balls and planks he does walk too many guys I think they're fine I just don't like using the Mariners against lefties that much like you can talk me into some one-offs here more so than you can talk me to a full stack like uh some of the righties in the Mariners sure but like I just think they're fine I think that Hearn is not someone we need to stack against and the Mariners not team I need to stack specifically versus lefties so they're fine to me Jackie MLB is where I'm starting a I'm making a spreadsheet center around home runs okay it's a good place to start good for your Dinger Tuesday needs Jackie as well and homers translate well the DFS too John what is he best of value stack can I say the Astros is that cheating John it might be cheating we had Chasmacormac at a good spot we got 11 is Diaz at a good spot Yuli Gouriel is at a good spot I think the Astros actually count as being good value stack I think the Rays are a decent value stack too if you count Margot in there because look at this you know we got Yandi Diaz Margot none of those guys super high salaried they work I think the twins work out pretty well Rooker's $2,900 3000 don't want to rise but Garver's 27 so I think that these guys yeah the twins are kind of you know that's fine it's a fine lineup but I think like Rooker Donaldson Garver all those guys get you some value there so you actually got a couple options between the Rays Astros twins who can get you a lot of value and then I want to use that value to get up to the Dodgers for a stack as well Eric is asking running a 4-3-1 stack today so four players on one team three players and another and then a one-off in there is a one of the you prefer over Max Kepler a one-off sorry one of you prefer Max Kepler at $3,200 so let's go over here check out assuming it's an outfielder and we'll just restrict ourselves to outfielders if it's a utility guy Corey Seeger's $3,200 I prefer him over everybody today pretty much everybody I think Kepler does work out pretty well so I'm not going to say no to Kepler if you want some alternatives um what are Bailey Ober's bad at ball numbers looking like 41% hard hit rate 38% fly ball rate we can uh we can get some dingers off that so Frommill Rays I think you could uh put in that discussion AJ Pollock you could put in that discussion as well honestly I might just stick with Kepler I think that he's pretty fine and I I'd be definitely okay with him so probably stick in Kepler otherwise I would turn to Frommill Rays or um turn to AJ Pollock as being one-offs in the outfield at $3,200 uh Jackie you know what the with the Connor Joe home run prop yesterday uh first played appearance of the game so no sweat there which was good I know my colleague Tom Vecchio is on CJ Crone last played appearance of the game so a little uh number fire sandwich there with the dingers for the Rockies they were very kind to us for sure Jerry says good day Jim good day Jerry how do you feel about these teams the Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Toronto and the Angels uh the Cubs are in a good matchup I just hate them uh they don't have a lot of guys I want to use right now like Schwindel's fine um there are some individual guys like Wisdom's okay it's a bad lineup so I think that you can get a couple guys in there Jerry but they're a tough team to stack just because they're really really wretched so not as high there the Reds are facing Kyle Hendricks Hendricks has been slipping a bit recently got rocked his last time out that was the game with the Brewer scored I think like 17 runs a lot of them came after Hendricks left but really low strikeout rate the bad at ball data is still pretty good so the Reds are fine but also not a priority for me either Toronto facing Eric Feddy Feddy's been getting better recently but that's a very small sample past three starts with uh more cutters instead of sinkers very small sample so still living a lot of balls and play still living in hard contact so uh Blue Jay is number one of those teams Angels I like the individual batters uh Shohio Tani and kind of Jared Walsh Walsh hasn't done a lot since he came back so I can't get too enthused about him check out Brandon Marsh's numbers versus righties because Casey Myers has struggled a lot against lefties this year Marsh is a lefty in that Angels lineup um let's go here I kept scrolling too far okay Brandon Marsh sort of here I played appearances versus righties 73 played appearances 29% flat ball rate a lot of strikeouts so yeah I think that the Angels are more so just Ohtani and Walsh for me so I'd rank those those teams Blue Jay's one probably Red's two just because they're very good Angels three and then Cubs four I will say that the Ohtani and Walsh good one-off plays on the Angels four today uh Trappa 95 over on YouTube top stacks for today love the Astros love the Dodgers very good at the Rays and Twins higher on the Rays now than I was this morning where I thought that they were kind of just okay talk myself in the on to Diaz like the the righty heavy nature their lineup so uh Ray's moving up for me and a team that I'm very good with and also Rocky's in there too Kenneth is asking do you like Manoa at low roster rates tonight Salvatore does like Manoa and I agree Salvatore I think that Manoa is in a really good spot all just a good pitcher the numbers I have from Manoa over his past five starts with fewer forcing fastballs going to more sinkers in general sinkers suck bad pitch don't use sinkers but Manoa has a good one 26% whiff rate on his sinker according to baseball savants 32% strike outright in this five start sample facing a pitcher tonight which is does mean he's subject to leave early due to a pinch hitter but also means he gets face a pitcher so that's that's a good trade off there good bad at ball data the nationals terrible since they traded away everyone except for one so does so yeah I like Manoa a lot I would like him Kenneth even if he were not low rostered he might not be tonight I would say I think that there's a good enough sentiment around him and people know the national stink so I wouldn't assume he'll be low rostered for tonight but I like him regardless so Kenneth and Salvatore I am very on board with Alec Manoa he is my number two guy behind Corbin Burns tonight and honestly like for single entry if it weren't for all the value I would talk myself into Manoa but like with McCormick Diaz the twins guys the raised guys I can make it work pretty easily with Burns so Manoa's two but he's in the conversation for number one Kyle where does a Philly stack rank versus Widener or tonight I had been operating on there's something to be Caleb Smith as a bulk guy so maybe that they announced let me just do a quick Twitter search here to see if they have announced that and Taylor Widener will start for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday okay so thank you Kyle let's pull up Taylor Widener here and check out his numbers they announced that after I was on waiting to come on with Brandon so okay he's coming out the IL and Widener 5.5 or 4.54 skill interactive ERA 24% strikeout rates really bad bad at ball data though so let's uh I have Caleb Smith on here so uh the Philly's better against lefties and righties so that's a downgrade in those terms let's pull up the Philly's numbers versus righties and see if there are guys we can get super excited about here versus Widener what did I just click okay there we go let's also pull up their projected lineup for today to see what the salaries look like because again I was thinking they'd be facing a lefty and not a righty okay Harper obviously always good nothing else to say there let's see other guys who have these viable numbers Reese Hoskins that's a lot of power versus righties uh Reese obviously not available for today um DD Brad Miller okay scroll down here DD 209 ISO 46% fly ball rate okay we can work with that so D Gregorius could be a play who could turn to Odebo Herrera not a guy I try to root for ever 168 ISO high enough to be a consideration from a DFS perspective real mutated consider as well it's just not a lot of dudes you truly want to use Brad Miller I'm okay with so I think that they're fine against Widener Widener is not like an auto stack type guy because he does get enough strikeouts he walks some guys which does suppress balls and play a bit so I think they're fine is what I'd say Kyle I would not put them above the raise would not put them above the Astros twins Dodgers um so I think they're at at best fifth and they might wind up being exactly fifth but I think that I can't put them too much higher than that just because you know I'd rather have them versus a lefty than a righty Savon is asking can you rank the Philly Philly players for me uh Bryce Harper one probably gonna go Real Muto number two Odebo Herrera three DD Gregorius four I guess like and then there's McCutcheon or Segura five I don't really like to use either all that much against against righties but like it's uh that's why I'm not super jazzy about stacking them it's uh it's hard to get to a big number if you have if you have a silencer for Harper get him because I think he's a great one off but uh less enthused about the the secondary guys in the Phillies Savon best team slash stacks for a single entry okay so for a single entry I think given the given the value I'm okay going with birds so looking for stacks we can use while using Corbin Burns our pitcher we're looking at the likely chalky stacks for today looks like Cora should be still pretty popular despite the fact it's Marquez is a good pitcher Dodger's popular Astros popular so I think the rays actually do grayed out pretty well uh means has some name value tied to him but hasn't been pitching well since he came out the IL so I think the rays are actually a pretty good single entry stack I would still be hiding the Astros because the value is there so I would say Astros and rays a couple good teams from a one-off perspective for today Eric says awesome I have Seager uh that's in the lineup we're talking about four at the four three one I think Seager Corey Seager is one of the best plays on the slate uh he might be the best play among haters I think he's the best play so Corey Seager my favorite play for today Julia's on Facebook is asking for the top three pitchers for tonight give me Corbin Burns one give me Alcmanoa two give me Logan Webb number three we have not discussed Logan Webb yet let's do that right now facing the Mets not a great offense versus righties right now 25% strikeout rate great park for pitching as well low ISO for the Mets web has been throwing more sinkers and more curve balls let me I guess it's a curve ball or a slider depending on how you classify it since he came back really good fly ball rate 26% strikeout rate not super high but had a lot of strikeouts in his past two starts so if you want to spend down Logan Webb really good option $7600 if you go web you can go Altube Correa you can go Cruz or Sorana everyone you want to use is in play with Logan Webb so I would say web number three for me just because the salary savings are for him are really really enticing Savannah is asking how is Milwaukee for tonight are they facing Jack Flaherty where are we oh they're facing Adam Wainwright no Adam Wainwright it's really good so uh no Milwaukee for me tonight Jerry all right Jerry's home run calls are in he's got uh Vladimir Guerrero Jr Ryan Mount Castle Mount Castle is uh facing Rasmussen okay interesting and then um it believes Rasmussen another wrong uh and then Brandon Lau Lau facing lefty is he in the lineup for tonight he might have been left out I know they had a pretty righty heavy lineup uh batting sixth I don't tend to use Lau versus lefties but let's uh let's make sure I'm not being too dismissive of Mr. Lau here because he is a good hitter against righties tremendous hitter against righties so let's uh pull up the numbers on old Brandon Lau versus lefties Lau against lefties 194 is not bad 46% fly ball right does strike out a lot but hey you know you're looking for dingers Jerry I like it I like the creativity I think that that works I would rank other ways above him but I like uh you're thinking there Jerry Jackie which three players would you stack from the Dodgers okay let's go over to the Dodgers here pull up their projected lineup versus a righty and will crow and crow is a picture against whom you can use either righties or lefties so we don't need to care too much about uh the handness of the bat let's check out Will Smith to see did he play last night or did he sit okay good see sat last night means he should play he's generally catching like three of every four days so if he sat last night he should be good to go for today I tend to use him a ton because he's great and people don't like using catchers on fangirl even though they should when they are as good as Will Smith uh Seager will be one there Jackie you'll be number one so I can tell you that one right now there's really good batted ball data for him over the past week or so think he's going to go on a heater here pretty soon so Seager is one for me probably max monthly two I'm gonna go Will Smith three and then we're looking at like AJ Pollock I think the salary on him at $3,000 William Tyson so we go with Pollock I don't know why I put him in utility that's very stupid so let's go back over here I'm gonna go with uh let's go with Seager at uh shortstop let's go with Pollock in the outfield let's get Muncie at second base over first base and Will Smith at catcher slash first base if we do that let's go with Minoa at pitcher because that's probably more realistic in terms of the pitching options if you're stacking the Dodgers if I go Minoa 2950 left it's very easy to do with the with the Astros and the twin salaries and the raised salaries where they're at so I think that's a pretty good four-player stack we get the potential two four five six on that team so I think this is a good stack for the Dodgers for today Salvatore likes Seattle as an affordable stack for today yeah again I just don't like them against lefties that much so it's a good matchup against her it's not like a great matchup but it's a good matchup I would say I just don't tend to use them a lot against lefties this is Howard but it will be Taylor Herne for today for the Rangers so they're fine I just don't tend to use them against lefties as much defuse Bluejay is still great out well as a stack without George Springer or better for one-off they're still good for stacks very much so do you want to check take a look at Eric Feddy his platoon splits though because the Jays are a very righty heavy team and I think that makes it a bit more important to check out the specific platoon splits the opposing pitcher because if they're super restrictive against righties it does make things tougher we don't care about woe by this point in the year but 23% strike area for Feddy versus righties 32% hard hit rates 46% ground ball right actually lower than it is against lefties so I think the Jays are still a good stack check out the line appearance see um okay yeah it's still a fine lineup no real objections there doubt rated a bit because there's no Springer with no DH there but I still think they're in play the reason I'm not as high in them is that you know it does hurt to lose Springer does hurt to lose a DH Feddy is okay I generate ground balls so it's enough to make me make them lower but they're still very much a consideration for me Salvatore best gpp pitcher slash stack I think Manila was pretty good from a a tournament perspective if me I just want the highest scoring guy so I'd still go birds I know he's not going to be low roster but also like I just want the highest scoring guy I think that he is definitely somebody can get there stacking again I do think that the raise rate out well for stacking the ass was great oh well for stacking and uh there was the other one we were talking about he was a twins I other way I think the astra was in the raise great I pretty well for stacking from a tournament perspective for tonight Jerry are you on the Bundy wagon tonight no no no no no no no absolutely not uh I would rather stack against still in Bundy than use him as a pitcher he's still had a lot of rough issues since he rejoined the rotation this is a three star sample but it's very similar to what he was doing towards the end of his first in the rotation really rough numbers second worst skill attractive era in the slit slates tigers been better recently the reason not as high and stacking them is because the salaries are pretty high but I don't want to use Bundy as a uh pitcher for today Jackie says save Seattle for tomorrow against faulty yes uh I was going through the notes for tomorrow already they are my number three stack for tomorrow based on the way things currently shake out like the rays and like the braves a lot but then I do think that the marriage is number three against Mike Fulton average so if you want to sneak peek at tomorrow's sheets there you go screenshot that baby and bring it up for tomorrow savon asking how is atlanta for today okay so atlanta is facing sandy alcantra alcantra hasn't been doing as good of a job recently suppressing hard contact but in general is a good good pitcher at that so I'll be lower on atlanta also not a great park for stacking for today mike do you like any uh joey vato one off joey vato the world's biggest power hitter right now so uh yeah I think that he works because again Hendricks super low strike area we can definitely get to the reds if we were going to get to any red it'd be obviously vato at this point with the way he's been hitting just not as high from a stacking perspective for me because Hendricks does a good job of suppressing our contacts so for me for one offs I want to maximize the potential to get like a double bong and I think the odds that are lower against Hendricks does help the bullpen is just terrible terrible terrible right now so that could definitely get that later on but I think if I'm looking for one offs places I'm looking are yeah I think the twins are pretty enticing from that perspective the rays with Nelson Cruz are pretty enticing I think and then like Otani definitely a good one off situation so I think that's uh those the place to be looking more so for today Jackie is Miguel Cabrera getting home run number 500 for tonight I was looking at niggie's numbers last week didn't realize that he was on 499 and I was like oh wow he's been hitting a lot of home runs recently did not know he's on 499 uh shows you uh much sense I've been paying to Miguel Cabrera recently but hey 499 uh facing Bundy Bundy lets up a lot of hard contact and a lot of fly balls not saying no Jackie not saying no uh final question come from Salvatore do you think that Marcus Strowman is getting overlooked uh Strowman is facing the Giants a really tough matchup not a big strikeout guys it'll go overlooked but I think he should just because that matchup is really really tough the Giants so lefty heavy so good so I think he is getting overlooked but I think that's okay given how tough the matchup is for today that is all that we have here for today on
