MLB Daily Fantasy Lineups to Stack / Avoid Wednesday July 11

July 11, 2018 By Chris Spencer Leave a Comment

Stack #1
Rockies
·
Stack #2
Red Sox
·
Stack #3
Orioles

Stacking is a well-known DFS strategy. In an effort to identify stack worthy lineups I’ve been tinkering with the idea of looking at the opposing pitcher’s DFS points allowed. Similar to in fantasy football looking at the opposing defense’s fantasy points allowed to running backs to determine which one to start.

My approach is to look at a team’s DFS points per plate appearance and compare to the opposing pitcher’s DFS points per plate appearance. A “bad” pitcher could lead to an increase in production from the hitters and conversely, a “good” pitcher could lead to a decrease in production. It is important to note that due to the volatility of stolen bases, I do not include them when calculating ppa.

How to Read the Charts
The Colorado Rockies are facing a RHP at home and in that situation they are currently putting up 2.32 FanDuel and 1.77 DraftKings points per plate appearance or ppa. The opposing pitcher is RHP Shelby Miller ARI who after facing 67 batters is currently allowing 168% more ppa in FanDuel and 164% more ppa in DraftKings than the current MLB average (2.103 on FanDuel and 1.604 on DraftKings). The modified ppa is simply 2.32 x 168% in FanDuel and 1.77 x 164% in DraftKings.

Fantasy Baseball 2013 Consensus Top Prospects

March 19, 2013 By Rick Leave a Comment

One of my favorite tasks prepping for the upcoming fantasy baseball season is compiling my consensus top prospects list, a ranking of the next best players in baseball. This is the fourth year publishing the list. Feel free to go back and check the top prospects from 2010, 2011 and 2012, and you’ll quickly see what a major impact these players have on the fantasy baseball landscape today. The top of this list are the guys you want to build your deep keeper and dynasty league fantasy baseball teams around for years to come.

This year I used 14 publicly available “top 100” prospect lists to form the basis of my list, although there were changes to the lists included in the consensus from last year. Players had to be named on at least seven of the lists to make the final cut. Players were given 100 points for a 1st place listing, 99 points for second, 98 for third and on and on down to 1 point for a selection as number 100.

Each list that formed the consensus is identified in the key below. Each player’s score for that list is indicated and their average is listed last. Scores are based on the number of lists they appear. I realize this simple system has the potential to skew the results of those picked on fewer lists, but overall it provides a good snapshot of the guys you should target for your rosters.
