FanDuel MLB DFS Picks – August 21st

Although there were some players which didnt begin their games last nights FanDuel MLB DFS Picks got some nice production from the players that played.
Our lineup has started off on the ideal note. Gray hurled six innings of all one-run chunk to go along with 10 punchouts while making the win. While the strikeouts are still in droves for the veteran, his magical rebound season proceeds.
Our Cubs stack that is four-man and Ian Happ didnt just receive a ton of manufacturing and the nod, respectively, which means you would have experienced an usefulness or outfield position to play . Having said that, Anthony Rizzo had as he uttered a set of solo home runs in such a one. Kyle Schwarber walked twice while Javier Baez scored a run and singled and doubled. Rizzo and Schwarber contributed, though it wasnt the result weve had with a heap but I wanted more in this pile.
Our Phillies mini-stack turned into a one-off as Sean Rodriguez reluctantly did not begin despite some numbers versus lefties against the left-hander Brian Johnson this year. At knocking two or three base hits cesar Hernandez did fine, but that I enjoy once Rodriguez was not at the lineup, wouldnt have used him.
The scratches continued as Harrison Bader has been brought up in the minors as outfielder Lane Thomas didnt start, so there.
Ultimately, our past one time Joc Pederson failed his role, even though he did not reach out of the leadoff spot. It was really quite lucky as Pederson clubbed a three-run home run off of a position player in the Jays Richard Urena since the Dodgers blew out the Blue Jays 16-3.
We got manufacturing from our starters in this lineup, and now let us keep that going on tonightprincipal slate!
P — Walker Buehler (LAD) — $11,000 vs. TOR
To me, you need to pay up to get a pitcher on this background. Youve Justin Verlander, Walker Buehler and Patrick Corbin all pitching in amazing situations on this particular 11-game background, and to me personally, it has probably got to be among these three you roll up with unless you want to go down a little further and grab someone like Yu Darvish in the home against the Giants. For me personally, Ill take Buehler as he is a little compared to Verlander and may very realistically boast a number of the upside. Buehlers matchup is not too shabby either because he chooses on a Blue Jays club which matches the eighth-highest strikeout speed versus right-handed pitching this season, and while theyve struck for more energy in the second half of the season, Buehlers 1.02 HR/9 around the year is significantly lower compared to 1.64 mark Verlander owns on the year. Buehler has pitched to a 3.31 ERA over the season, however also a 2.99 FIP and 3.36 xFIP to go along with a large 10.57 K/9 clip along with a tiny 1.66 BB/9 speed. Furthermore, he even sports a 2.33 ERA in your home to go and a 2.39 FIP, 2.80 xFIP and a gigantic 13.43 K/BB ratio as he punches out 11.54 batters per nine innings at home and falls just 0.86 percent nine. He has a 15 strikeout sport plus also a 16 strikeout game at home as well grab the youthful right-hander in this 1 tonight.
C/1B — Logan Morrison (PHI) — $2,100 vs. BOS
Needless to say, Buehler is breaking us a pretty penny tonight in an $11K price tag, so we are likely to have to obtain some value snakes someplace within this lineup, especially since I am also paying for a high-upside pile as well. Morrison has gotten into five matches with the club to this stage, but just with eight plate appearances and latched on with the Phillies after playing Triple-A ball for most of the year. Nevertheless, Morrison has done serious harm at the Triple-A amount this year as he hit 15 home runs and published a gigantic .368 ISO in the Yankees system before in the year before catching on with the Phillies and submitted a .237 ISO together with three homers in only 18 games for the Phillies Triple-A affiliate. Needless to say, Morrison has revealed big-time energy versus right-handed pitching in the big leagues before this year as he owns a profession .209 ISO vs righties and a 111 wRC+ from them as well. When he was cut loose from the Twins last year he was hitting right-handers for a highly effective .204 ISO. Morrison has also has achievement of tonights Red Sox starter Rick Porcello as hes gone 12 to get 40 (.300) with three doubles and two homers from him, good for a .225 ISO and .874 OPS vs the veteran right-hander. Add it up and I think there is lots of worth upside down at this price.
2B — Whit Merrifield (KC) — $3,400 vs. BAL
My main stack tonight will function as a four-man Royals pile as they carry on right-hander Aaron Brooks along with the Baltimore Orioles in the hitter-friendly boundaries of Camden Yards tonight. Brooks is one of the very targetable stars in DFS right now as he completes this one wearing a 6.49 ERA, 5.94 FIP, 5.31 xFIP along with a 2.20 HR/9 clip across 13 begins and 22 looks on the year. He has also allowed 14 earned runs over his previous two starts crossing only 8.1 innings, therefore we have something to work with here, particularly if we factor in the barbarous Orioles bullpen that has the leagues worst ERA at a grisly 6.36 mark. Input Merrifield who has to be about the peskiest leadoff men in the sport as he simply gets the job done against both left and right-handed pitching. His power is usually up against lefties, but Merrifield still owns a .312 average, .821 OPS, .347 wOBA and 115 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching on this season, with all those characters, save to the OPS, superior versus right-handed pitchers. He also owns a .179 ISO, .876 OPS, .367 wOBA along with 129 wRC+ on the street versus righties this year. We get power and speed with Merrifield has he has hit 14 homers and discharged 16 bases on the time, so let us grab the enormous cross-category potential together with the Royals second baseman tonight.
3B — Hunter Dozier (KC) — $4,100 vs. BAL
Among the league best breakout gamers of 2019, Dozier attracts an abundance of power into this matchup from a pitcher whos surrendering over his fair share of home runs. After not posting a consistent history of energy within his minor league career, Dozier hit 11 homers following his promotion to the big leagues last season in only over half a years worth of action, showing some power potential in the procedure. This season, hes hit 22 home runs and submitted a .266 ISO to cement his standing as a power bat in the big leagues, even if hes a late bloomer in age 27. The energy is up versus lefties, but let us not scoff at Doziers big-time .255 ISO, .906 OPS, .374 wOBA along with 133 wRC+ over the season vs right-handed pitching. The power plays up on your way beyond his pitcher-friendly home park in Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City as Dozier owns a huge .292 ISO to go together with the .884 OPS, .362 wOBA along with 125 wRC+ to the season from right-handers away from house. Doziers consistency has been on display in addition to he posted a .250 ISO, .899 OPS, .371 wOBA along with 131 wRC+ at first half of the season, but hes raised his performance to a .295 ISO, .951 OPS, .389 wOBA and 144 wRC+ since the All-Star fracture, for example a .388 ISO, 1.049 OPS, .418 wOBA and 163 wRC+ in the month of August. Its not necessary to fade the big third baseman tonight.
SS — Jean Segura (PHI) — $3,300 vs. BOS
The shortstop place is a bit difficult to fulfill tonight, especially when we have to continue to keep down costs with some expensive pitchers on the slate. But with Morrison at such a low price I was able to fit in a Phillies mini-stack against Porcello along with also his 5.49 ERA on the season. For starters, I usually wish to roster Segura against left wing pitching as that is where most of his power comes out, however, he stays a fairly successful crust against righties too and as had success against Porcello in his profession, so I do not mind him as a part of a mini-stack in this 1 tonight. For the season vs righties, Segura owns a .284 typical while he brings a few strong stolen base upside to the table also with seven steals on the season, all which have come from appropriate pitching. Segura is also swinging a hot bat in the plate right now as hes riding a four-game hit series entering this one and has gone 6 for 16 (.375) with four doubles, four runs scored and four RBI in that span. His four championships have come across the past few games along with his four RBI have come within his last two matches, including a double and two RBI in last nights series-opening win. Considering that the thin crop of shortstops, especially when we factor in cost and matchup, Ill use Segura at quite low possession as a portion of a mini-stack tonight.
OF — Jorge Soler (KC) — $3,800 vs. BAL
Next man up in our four-man Royals heap is Soler that, for example Dozier, has appreciated a large breakout with the bat in 2019. Soler fought to both stay healthy and find a regular spot in the Cubs or Royals outfielder prior to this year, but hes taken off in fulltime job this time . Entering this 1 tonight, Soler has smacked 35 home runs on the season, nearly tripling his preceding career-high of 12 set in part-time obligation with the Cubs in 2016. The very best news with Soler for this particular matchup tonight is that the fact that he owns reverse splits on the season. Against right-handed pitchers such as Brooks, Soler has blasted 26 of his 35 home runs and possesses a enormous .313 ISO, .932 OPS, .382 wOBA along with 139 wRC+ vs same-handed pitching on this season. The numbers trend on the path to a .335 ISO, .939 OPS, .385 wOBA along with 141 wRC+ vs righties away from home. Furthermore, Soler is enjoying a huge month of August for this point as he possesses the unlocked .471 ISO, 1.338 OPS, .526 wOBA along with 236 wRC+ to the month for this stage. Against a pitching staff thats letting the most home runs in baseball that season, Soler has a few of the records largest housing run upside to be certain.
OF — Adam Duvall (ATL) — $2,900 vs. MIA
I think we have something here using Duvall and the Braves as they take on left-hander Caleb Smith along with the Miami Marlins tonight. Smith is having a great season and seems to be a real fine young arm to the Marlins future, nevertheless Smith has been susceptible to the ball this year, especially on the road where he possesses a huge 2.30 HR/9 rate despite adhering a 3.95 ERA on the street. He owns a 5.20 FIP and 4.91 xFIP versus right-handed bats on the road also, so Ill be rostering a couple of cost-efficient Braves outfielders within this 1 tonight, beginning here with Duvall who has defected left handed pitching in the big leagues and the minors this year. In Triple-A prior to his big league marketing, Duvall posted a gigantic 1.154 OPS versus left-handed pitching with 10 home runs in just 89 at-bats contrary to them. From the big leagues, all of Duvall is now done is post a .358 moderate to cooperate with a large .474 ISO, 1.251 OPS, .486 wOBA and 201 wRC+ versus lefties across a 19 at-bat sample size with three homers in that time. The power vs lefties is nothing new as Duvall owns a profession .228 ISO versus these and a 102 wRC+ to boot, so I am all over this guy against a pitcher permitting plenty of home runs off from his pitcher-friendly house venue tonight.
OF — Charlie Culberson (ATL) — $2,000 vs. MIA
Its participant like Culberson who give us the chance to roll up some high-upside bats like weve got with our Royals heap. Having said that, hes not just a throw at minimal price for salary reasons, but instead a player who may give this lineup a large shot in the arm with some manufacturing given his breaks on the season. Much like Duvall, Culberson is mashing left handed pitching this season as he owns a .370 typical, .239 ISO, .992 OPS, .410 wOBA along with also a 152 wRC+ from southpaw pitching. In other words, with park variables included, Culberson was 52% above league average vs left-handers this season. In house versus lefties, he owns a .313 ISO, .978 OPS, .397 wOBA and 144 wRC+. The one downside with Culberson is despite viewing some playing time throughout the past couple of weeks he has been struggling, but at the cost I believe we have something to work with here. I am here for the energy upside down against a pitcher thats been yielding the ball on the road this year, although hes 1 for 3 with an RBI in a very small career sample against Smith.
UTIL — Ryan OHearn (KC) — $2,400 vs. BAL
Improving our four-man Royals stack is OHearn who isnt possess a fantastic season but could surely deliver some value at the price given some production that is previous. This season against right-handed pitching, OHearn owns a .139 ISO and .582 OPSnumbers to be sure. The numbers perk up into a decent .152 ISO and .648 OPS on the street versus righties, along with tonight will be indeed hit at a hitter-friendly surroundings by the Royals. Nevertheless, there is time to allow and we do not need to look too far back to get evidence of his ability to strike right-handed pitching for electricity. Last season across a 112 at-bat sample size versus righties, OHearn published a massive .393 ISO, 1.108 OPS, .458 wOBA plus also a 194 wRC+. He also hit righties for a .412 ISO, 1.132 OPS, .467 wOBA and 200 wRC+ to the road versus righties last season. Furthermore the 26-year-old OHearn has also posted a substantial 1.049 OPS against right-handed pitching at the Triple-A level this season. Truth be told, I had a utility place open with $2,400 to invest in this lineup tonight, and we might too go with OHearn to complete a four-man stack given the large numbers hes shown versus righties lately despite some bad amounts up to now across 74 major league games this year.
