Daily Fantasy Baseball: Mr. Fantasy’s Daily Diamonds for July 5 - Handicappers Hideaway
Daily Fantasy Baseball
By Dave Del Grande
@DaveDelGrande
TIP OF THE DAY
Try something new.
Let’s be honest: It’s early on the day after a holiday. America’s big birthday party, no less.
You really don’t feel like diving head-first into a high-stakes, big-jackpot contest.
Then don’t.
Ever tried a head-to-head game? Sunday would be the perfect day for it.
Lookie here: FantasyAces is offering up a bunch of them for a wide variety of prices.
What do you know about the competition? Sometimes you don’t know anything at all.
That’s generally not a good thing.
On this particular day, however, it comes down to this: Who’s feeling
the effects of Saturday’s celebration more: You or the other guy?
For a couple of bucks, I believe it’s worth your while to find out.
MUST PLAY
Mike Bolsinger, P, Dodgers (FantasyAces $5,600).
If you haven’t pitched Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke against the Mets the last two days, it had to be because of the hefty price.
That’s not an issue Sunday, and you absolutely have to take advantage.
But this isn’t all about the price, which, by the way, is nice.
Bolsinger has compiled a 0.91 WHIP at home this season, the best
among all of Sunday’s starters. Yep, that’s even better than what you’ll
get from the Pirates’ Gerrit Cole (FantasyAces $7,750), and you’ll save upward of $2,000 at the same time.
Told you the price was nice.
And let’s not forget about Sunday’s opponent, the Mets. They stopped
hitting well before Kershaw and Greinke limited them to one run on nine
hits over 14 innings on Friday and Saturday.
Bolsinger, now fully recovered from a bout with food poisoning last week, has to be one of your pitchers Sunday.
MUST AVOID
All Athletics.
Maybe Josh Reddick was on to something.
You did hear the left-handed-hitting outfielder’s criticism of Billy Beane the other day, right?
In a nutshell, Reddick was disappointed because he’d been told by
manager Bob Melvin that he’d be starting against a left-handed pitcher,
only later to find his name conspicuously absent from the lineup card.
He blamed an intervention from the platoon-happy Beane.
No doubt, Beane not-so-subtly will want a lot of righties in the lineup against Mariners left-hander Mike Montgomery on Sunday, and that would be a mistake.
The young standout has dominated right-handed hitters in his six starts, allowing a Clayton Kershaw-esque .447 OPS.
Note to Billy: Reddick should be playing Sunday. Then again, it probably won’t matter.
Montgomery has been tough on lefties (.617 OPS), too.
Come to think of it, Montgomery (FantasyAces $5,550) against a team
that’s hit .239 against left-handers all season would be a nice pitching
complement to the aforementioned Mike Bolsinger.
HISTORY LESSON
Angels first baseman Albert Pujols (.916) and outfielders Matt Joyce (1.012) and Mike Trout (1.258) all have high OPS numbers in their careers against the Rangers’ starter Sunday, right-hander Colby Lewis.
But those marks are dwarfed by teammate Kole Calhoun’s ownage of Lewis.
Calhoun is 8-for-16 with two doubles, a triple and a home run in his
career against Lewis. That’s a 1.438 OPS to go with a .500 batting
average.
I can’t recommend stacking Angels on Sunday as Lewis has an impressive 0.99 WHIP at home this season.
But you’d be wise to find room in your lineup at least for Calhoun (FantasyAces $4,600).
TODAY’S STACK PACK
Astros right-handed hitters vs. Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez.
Stack Packs work best when you tie together players of complementary skills.
That’s exactly what you’ll get if you put Astros high-average middle infielders Jose Altuve (FantasyAces $5,500) and Carlos Correa (FantasyAces $5,000) alongside slugging first baseman Chris Carter (FantasyAces $4,900).
Altuve and Correa should be on base all day long against Rodriguez,
whose home WHIP (1.43) and June ERA (4.81) are a bit on the high side.
Altuve brings a 12-game hitting streak into the game. He’s been especially hot of late, having gone 7-for-13 in July.
Correa isn’t far behind. He’s ripped 14 hits in his last 10 games and four in 10 at-bats this month.
When they’re on base Sunday, Carter is bound to drive them in. That’s
because he’s due for a home run — he’s hit one in alternating starts
his last six games, with Saturday having been one of his homerless days.
They bat second, third and fifth for a team that leads everyone in home runs and total bases against left-handed pitching.
The Astros figure to add to those impressive figures Sunday.
ULTIMATE SLEEPER
Tommy Pham, OF, Cardinals (FantasyAces $3,000).
I instructed you Saturday to jump on a prospect as soon as he demonstrates he’s figured out major league pitching.
Pham appears to have done Saturday.
After an 0-for-3 debut the night before, Pham doubled, stole a base
and scored twice out of the leadoff spot against the Padres on Saturday.
I expect bigger and better things Sunday, when he faces Ian Kennedy, a
rare pitcher with OPS numbers over .800 against both lefties (.828) and
righties (.900).
Pham is priced at rock bottom, meaning even meager production will make him a worthwhile investment.
I expect a whole lot more than that.
INJURY ALERT
The Astros’ aforementioned numbers against left-handed pitching figure to take a hit with outfield George Springer out of the lineup with a wrist injury.
Fortunately, Jake Marisnick (FantasyAces $4,300) is ready to return from a disabled list stint caused by a hamstring issue.
Marisnick adds a right-handed bat to the Houston attack just when it needs it.
He’s a Stack Pack candidate Sunday if you’re scared away by Chris Carter’s .197 batting average.
Here’s one advantage Marisnick, who hit .379 in April when given a
similar opportunity, gives you over Carter: He comes significantly
cheaper.

Daily Fantasy Baseball: Mr. Fantasy’s Daily Diamonds for July 4 - Handicappers Hideaway
Daily Fantasy Baseball: Mr. Fantasy’s Daily Diamonds for July 4
By Dave Del Grande
@DaveDelGrande
TIP OF THE DAY
Make young hitters prove themselves.
It’s always nice when you put a “Who’s he?” in your lineup and he
comes through. It gives you a feeling of having discovered the guy.
But more times than not, “Who’s he?” turns into “Why him?” after a
lackluster debut, leaving you answering questions rather than crowing
about your scouting ability.
Cubs standout Kris Bryant was one of these guys. If
you had him in your lineup in his debut back in April, all you had to
show for four at-bats were three strikeouts.
The next day, after you inevitably benched him, he showed his first signs of life with two hits and three walks.
Those who responded to the success in turn experienced success of
their own. Bryant went on to record seven hits, including four doubles,
in his next four games, making him a significant daily fantasy
contributor at a very cheap price.
That’s what tends to happen with these young studs. A lot of them
eventually figure it out, and that’s when they can help your daily
fantasy lineup.
So, it’s not about discovering them, but rather responding to their early success.
Two highly-regarded prospects debuted this week and, so far, have followed similar paths.
If you rushed Twins third baseman/designated hitter Miguel Sano (FantasyAces $3,500) into your lineup in his debut Thursday, you suffered the consequences. His two strikeouts overshadowed his one hit.
But Sano was better in his encore performance Friday. Like Bryant, he
had two hits and drove in his first run in Game 2, and now becomes a
legitimate daily fantasy prospect. Especially at a bargain price.
Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham, meanwhile, has played only one game. It was Friday, and guess what? He went 0-for-3.
Should he be in your lineup Saturday? Absolutely not, even at the rock-bottom price of $3,000.
But keep an eye on him, and once you see his “I can do this” moment, then jump on him.
Trust me on this: The price will still be low.
MUST PLAY
Ryan Braun, OF, Brewers (FantasyAces $5,750).
The Brewers are bombing big-time these days, and any number of them can be recommended.
But I’m settling for only the best.
Braun has 16 hits during his current eight-game hitting streak, with five doubles and two home runs among the hits.
The great thing about sharing the spotlight with your teammates is
that Braun has benefitted from the inordinate number of teammates on
base. He’s driven in nine runs during his eight-game run.
Saturday, Braun will face the weakest pitcher he’s seen during the hot streak. Reds right-hander Josh Smith apparently should have stuck to basketball.
Smith has made two disastrous starts, during which he’s allowed seven hits and 10 walks in eight innings.
He’s faced 21 right-handed hitters in those two outings. Nine have
reached base, two via a double and a home run, helping produce a
whopping .929 OPS.
One’s hot and one’s not. That’s a recipe for daily fantasy success.
MUST AVOID
Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder (FantasyAces $5,600).
You might think it’s not wise to poke the same bear twice, but I like
pressing my luck and I’ve got even better numbers on my side this time
around.
The last time I recommended avoiding the hot-hitting Fielder (last
Saturday), he responded with two inconsequential singles that didn’t
come close to justifying his big price tag.
Fielder has recorded eight hits since then, keeping his batting average (.347) and price tag high.
But those last seven hits, like his two last Saturday, have all been singles, and he’s totaled just one RBI over that stretch.
That unproductive run is unlikely to end Saturday, as he’ll be up against a left-handed pitcher, the Angels’ Hector Santiago,
who is as tough on lefty hitters as any starter in baseball. Rarely do
you see a .414 OPS against one side of the plate, but that’s exactly
what Santiago does to lefties.
I’ll be surprised if Fielder even puts up the two meaningless singles this time around.
HISTORY LESSON
Blue Jays third baseman Danny Valencia (FantasyAces $4,500) can hit left-handers. Yes, his .949 OPS against them demonstrates that.
But here’s the real proof …
Valencia has faced Tigers star lefty David Price 17 times in his career. Shockingly, he’s gotten 12 hits.
That’s a .706 batting average against one of the best pitchers in the game.
Throw in his three doubles among those 12 hits and it adds up to a 1.644 OPS.
Against David Price, for crying out loud.
You’ve got to invest the $4,500 Saturday, don’t you?
TODAY’S STACK PACK
Royals vs. Twins right-hander Mike Pelfrey.
Current members of the Royals have faced Pelfrey a total of 122 times in their careers. That’s a pretty large sample size.
That’s what makes their cumulative .352 batting average and .881 OPS pretty amazing.
Outfielders Lorenzo Cain (FantasyAces $5,050) and Alex Gordon (FantasyAces $4,850), first baseman Eric Hosmer (FantasyAces $4,850) and third baseman Mike Moustakas (FantasyAces $4,900) all have 1.000 or higher OPS numbers in their career against the righty.
But the guy who has torched Pelfrey the most has been second baseman Omar Infante (FantasyAces $4,000). He’s gone 16-for-39 (.410) in his career against the Twin.
To add insult to injury, Pelfrey hasn’t had much of a season
regardless of who he’s been up against. His 1.75 road WHIP is the worst
among Saturday’s starters, and his 5.35 June ERA demonstrates he’s not
exactly turning things around.
And now comes his biggest nightmare.
Give me Infante, Moustakas and Hosmer on Saturday.
ULTIMATE SLEEPER
Eugenio Suarez, SS, Reds (FantasyAces $3,250).
That’s something wrong with this picture …
Suarez is hitting .361 this season, yet his FantasyAces price is about as low as they get.
Actually, it’s easy to see why. It’s just hard to explain.
Suarez has 21 hits and four walks in 19 games this season. Toss out
his two home runs and he’s scored a grand total of two runs in those
other 23 visits to the basepaths.
He’s even helped himself out with three steals.
It says here: The law of averages is going to catch up with this guy.
It very well could start Saturday in what figures to be a high-scoring
game against the hot-hitting Brewers (see above).
I don’t know, there’s just something about a .361-hitting shortstop with a $3,250 price tag that screams: Own me.
INJURY ALERT
You can’t fool the FantasyAces price-setter.
I thought I was going to steal Diamondbacks lefty Patrick Corbin in his season debut Saturday.
Heck, the guy hasn’t pitched since 2013 following elbow surgery.
But there he is, third on the pitchers’ salary chart at $6,500. Darn.
I bow to the price-setter, but do add this: At home against a struggling Rockies team, Corbin really should be $7,500.
I’m going to play him anyway.
