Here are projected scores for tonight’s DFS pitchers – May 30, 2019 using FanDuel and DraftKings scoring.
- Good news! The Marlins aren’t on the main slate tonight so I can’t get suckered into picking the opposing pitcher and getting burned again!
- There is no super-cheap option at SP tonight so I’m going with Minor vs. Kansas City.
- Stackables (in order of my preference): Rangers, Dodgers and Red Sox.

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.
