DraftKings MLB Daily Fantasy Picks 8/26/19

Top Pitchers

 

Jason Vargas ($7,900) vs PiratesVargas hasn’t been as sharp on the Phillies as he was on the Mets but he still a respectable pitcher. He will be up against a Pirates offense that has not been very good recently and look like they are in the midst of a tanking season. The pitching in this slate is really mediocre once you get below Sonny Gray so going down the list for some guys doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Against this offense Vargas should be able to get some things done.

 

Pablo Lopez ($7,400) vs RedsPablo Lopez will be returning from the IL to make his start tonight vs the Reds at home in Miami. Prior to hitting the IL Lopez had not scored less than 17 FPTS in 4 straight starts and even scored 29.1 FPTS in one of those games. He doesn’t allow very many baserunners and he strikes out enough batters to make him a valuable piece. Like I said, this is his first start since returning so he will probably have a limited pitch count but at this price I believe he is still worth it against the Reds away from Cincinnati.

Top Hitters

 

Mike Moustakas ($5,000) vs CardinalsMoustakas has been hitting it well for the Brewers. He comes into tonight’s game with a hit in 8 of his last 10 starts with 4 HRs and 13 RBIs. Moustakas has been quite the power hitter this season with 31 HRs on the year and with guys like Yelich in the lineup he has ample opportunities to produce runs. He is a bit pricey tonight but against Cards SP Adam Wainwright he is hitting .400 with a HR across 12 PAs I feel confident in this pick.

 

Paul Goldschmidt ($4,500) vs BrewersThe Cardinals will be going up against Gio Gonzalez so we are going with some key St. Louis bats in this one. He had 1 hit with a run scored in their meeting last week and he is still hitting .500 off of him across 21 career PAs. Goldy is also coming into this one red hot with 2 hits in 3 of his last 4 games. Getting a player of his caliber hitting this well vs a familiar pitcher at this price is a no brainer for me.

 

 

Jean Segura ($4,300) vs PiratesIt’s been an up and down year for Jean Segura this season but he is getting hot at the right time for the Phillies. He comes into this game on a 8 game hit streak where he has scored 7 R and accrued 4 RBIs. He won’t produce a lot in terms of RBIs but he is hitting enough and getting on base enough to where he has value. If you are looking for a high floor middle infielder Segura is the top choice in my opinion.

 

Dexter Fowler ($4,200) vs BrewersIt wasn’t all against Gio Gonzalez but in Fowler’s last game where Gonzalez started he went 1/3 with 4 RBIs and a .600 OBP. Like Goldschmidt, Fowler has been superb vs the Brewers SP hitting .423 with 3 doubles, 1 triple, and a home run in 26 career ABs. You can’t deny those numbers and the fact that Fowler has a hit in 5 of his last 7 games with 4 R 1 HR and 11 RBIs. While he is hitting it this well I think we need to take advantage and ride the wave before it slows back down.
