Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cody Freeland(COL)

We start out with a trip to Coors Field tonight as the Diamondbacks sit with the highest implied total of any team. After a season where they led the league against southpaws, they have struggled overall this year ranking in the bottom third but do have a few hitters who are worth stacking that can provide gigantic upside. Kyle Freeland has been nothing more than an average pitcher this season and oddly enough has been better at home. I am not completely buying it early in his career, especially considering he is striking out just six batters per nine and walking over three. They will be chalky and are very expensive but on a night with many value options at the pitcher position, I think they make a lot of sense.

Top Bats to Stack: Paul Goldschmidt, J.D. Martinez, Chris Iannetta, A.J. Pollock

Baltimore Orioles vs. Joe Biagini(TOR)

The Orioles have been the hottest team in the league in the second half leading everyone with a .358 wOBA, 123 wRC+, 82 home runs, and sit second to only the Cubs with 268 runs scored.  That alone makes them a great play tonight but they will also be a nice ownership pivot away from the Coors game. They get a nice matchup vs. struggling Joe Biagini who is back in the rotation tonight. he has struggled as a starter giving up 28 earned runs over his last six starts including five long balls. He will have his work cut out for him tonight as the O's have scored 71 runs over their last 10 games.

Top Bats To Stack: Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop, Chris Davis, Mark Trumbo

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Reynaldo Lopez(CWS)

Finally, I turn to the Rays tonight as a value stack on both sites. It comes down to the matchup vs. Reynaldo Lopez who has struggled in his first two starts. He has shown some upside with 12 strikeouts in those starts but has also walked seven which has lead to him giving up eight earned runs(3 HR). his biggest struggle so far has been against left-handed batters as he has given up an ugly .443 wOBA against and all three of those long balls. Load up on the Rays lefties and don't forget about Longo and his reverse splits in 2017.

Top Bats to Stack: Kevin Kiermaier, Lucas Duda, Evan Longoria, Logan Morrison

  • Never clicked on this link before and, after seeing the first pitcher listed as "Cody Freeland" instead of "Kyle Freeland", I never will again. Can't rely on a site if they can't even get the player's names correct.

    • you cant rely on a free site.?....quit crying like a bitch you douchebag.....its simple, dont come back then cupcake.

      • Well if they`re intending for people to sign up to their site and subscribe to the information they provide, then proofreading or knowing a name isn`t ridiculous to expect whether it`s free or not.

        Bet you feel pretty cool berating people online for posting a complaint though. Swearing makes me feel tough too.

        Thanks for the advice cool guy. But maybe instead of crying that someone has an issue with something, try taking your own advice and quit being a douchebag

        • Oh look, its the DFSR police?...hahahhah......Did i make you mad bro?.....bahahha....too funny.,,,,I fell asleep reading that garbage,,,,,hahaha.....im glad i wasted you're time cupcake....bahahhaha....now go "FUCK OFF"

          • I'm guessing Joe is either a teenager or a mid-20s guy that lives at home with his parents - or maybe just his mother, since the guy clearly doesn't have a positive male role model around. Whatever the case is, it's clear that he's the type of person that is a drain on society.

            Matt gets it. Joe does not. If you're trying to be a legitimate site, then - free or not - those types of errors should not occur. That's the point. It's called constructive criticism. Like Matt said - they can't expect people to sign up if they don't provide correct information.

            Enjoy.

  • We know who Freeland is?!!!!! Keep up the good work.I am not a robot or DFSR employee. If there is a typo I don't care,I'm rushing need to get lineups done.

  • My bad. Got the name wrong. Thanks for reading. keep it clean guys. It's just fantasy.
