DraftKings MLB Daily Fantasy Picks 8/13/19

Top Pitchers

 

Jack Flaherty ($9,000) vs RoyalsDespite Jack Flaherty being absolutely on fire coming into this game, he is still priced at only $9,000 vs the Royals tonight. Flaherty owns a 0.86 ERA with a .156 BAA in his last 31.1 innings and has struck out 43 batters in that stretch. The numbers are amazing the Royals offense has been hitting lately but I wouldn’t consider them elite by any means. Knowing that Flaherty just went 14 scoreless innings with 19 Ks against the Cubs and Dodgers I have no issues paying $9,000 here for him to go up against the Royals.

 

Joe Ross ($5,500) vs RedsThis one is a bit scary given Joe Ross’s struggles at certain points this season. However, he has gotten in a bit of a groove here going 2 starts now without giving up a run and got through 6 for the first time all season in his last start. It was expected that it will take Ross a little while to get back in a groove after missing a lot of time with injuries so I think we may finally be seeing what Joe Ross is capable of. If you are bold enough to go Ross here you can’t be mad at the $5,500 price point.

Top Hitters

 

Anthony Rendon ($5,100) vs RedsAnthony Rendon has been one of the best hitters in the league this season and tonight he will be going up against a pitcher that he has had a lot of success against in the past. In 23 career PAs vs Alex Wood, Rendon is hitting .571 with a home run. This success paired with Rendon’s overall play this year make him a must play for me at $5,100 tonight.

 

Corey Dickerson ($4,800) vs CubsWith the injury to Jay Bruce in Philly, Corey Dickerson has found some more regular playing time and he has taken advantage. Coming into this contest he has 9 RBIs in his last 7 starts with 3 HRs. He is hitting well over .300 this year and I think a lot of people forgot how talented he was due to his injury that forced him to miss most of this season. Dickerson gets on base and has shown power some sneaky power as of late. His .429 average vs Cubs SP Jose Quintana helps as well in this decision.

 

 

Josh Donaldson ($4,100) vs MetsDonaldson’s price has taken a dive due to his recent struggles but he is still a big time power threat every time he comes to the plate. I think tonight is the night we get him when he breaks out of his slump. He will be up against Mets SP Zack Wheeler who he has seen very well over the course of his career, .600 with a BB in 11 career PAs. It isn’t a big sample size but in the middle of the potent Braves lineup I think Donaldson has the chance to do some damage tonight.

 

Jake Lamb ($4,000) vs RockiesSo Jake Lamb hasn’t been starting on most days so I would check if he is in the lineup tonight but if he plays up in Coors Field tonight I think he has the chance to do some damage. He will be up against Jon Gray who he is hitting .389 with 1 homer and 3 doubles against in 18 career ABs. Don’t get me wrong Lamb has been pretty terrible this season, but if you are looking for a high upside guy who will probably have low ownership Lamb is that guy. But be sure to check Arizona’s lineup before finalizing your lineup.
