Here are projected scores for tonight’s DFS pitchers – June 19, 2019 using FanDuel and DraftKings scoring.
- King of the Hill – Hill (LAD).
- My value pick tonight is Williams (PIT) at home vs. the Tigers.
- The Tigers vs RHP on the road have allowed right-handed starting pitchers to average
- The Tigers vs RHP on the road have a 0.285 wOBA (3rd worst in MLB), 0.161 ISO (9th worst) and a 27.9 K% (MLB worst).
- Stackables (in order of my preference):
- Early Slate – A’s and Astros.
- Main Slate – Twins, Angels & Rangers.
- Small sample size alert! Rogers (BAL), Ponce de Leon (STL), Heaney (LAA), Palumbo (TEX) and Plutko (CLE) have each faced less than 100 batters this season.

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 and 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.
