May 25, 2019 By Draft Buddy Leave a Comment

New York Yankees Aroldis Chapman has 5 appearances in the last 15 days for 5 IP, striking out 10 and allowing zero earned runs.

Presented below are the top 15 scoring starting pitchers from the 15 days prior to the start of Week 10, to identify fantasy baseball’s “who’s hot”. Similarly, the second table shows the bottom 15 starting pitchers for fantasy baseball’s “who’s cold”. To qualify for either list pitchers must have a minimum of 3 starts.

Further down are the top 8 and bottom 8 relief pitchers for the same time period. To capture the relief pitchers yet primarily focus on closers, we searched our database for pitchers with no starts and a minimum of one save or one blown save.

The scoring is Fantrax fantasy points. To view other fantasy scoring options, check our fantasy baseball player stats feature and adjust scoring using the switch link found upper-right from the table.

DFS Starting Pitchers Matchups – May 24, 2019

May 24, 2019 By Chris Spencer Leave a Comment

Here are projected scores for tonight’s DFS pitchers – May 24, 2019 using FanDuel and DraftKings scoring.

I’m really liking Robbie Ray on FanDuel tonight in San Francisco. He’s cheap and the Giants provide a nice potential for K’s.
Over on DraftKings it isn’t as simple. I think you’ll have to pay up for a decent start tonight.
Stackables (in order of my preference): A’s, Twins, Rockies, Yankees & Cardinals.
(Small sample size alert!) Mengden, McGowin, Hoffman, Green and Soto all have 65 or less batters faced this season. Don’t know what you’ll get with them tonight. MCGowin has the best matchup vs. the Marlins.
Few notes: Pittsburgh hasn’t announced their starting pitcher and it appears that whomever it is will be in an opener capacity..

** Indicates that the pitcher listed will follow an “Opener”

My Method

Matchup Rating is meant to show how the pitcher’s matchup relates to league average. A rating of 100 means that this matchup is neither good nor bad to the pitcher. A matchup over 100 favors the pitcher and conversely, a matchup up less than 100 favors the hitters. It takes into account:

The pitcher’s wOBA, ISO and K%
The opposing lineup’s wOBA, ISO and K% versus RHP/LHP
Home/away splits
Ballpark Factor
Fantasy points allowed to starting pitchers by opposing lineup (link)

If you are looking for bats to stack take a look at the pitchers at the bottom of this list where the Matchup Rating is below 90. While not always the case, typically when a pitcher scores a low total (perhaps even negative) that means they are probably getting lit up by the opposing lineup.
