DraftKings MLB Daily Fantasy Picks 8/30/19

Top Pitchers

Dakota Hudson ($9,200) vs RedsHudson has been excellent for the Cardinals lately not allowing an ER in each of his last 3 starts. Those 2 starts weren’t against weak offenses either, the Rockies & Brewers. Hudson has been solid all year and in tonight’s slate that features a lot of overrated pitchers in my opinion. The Reds have a middle tier offense and as long as Hudson can limit the damage done by Suarez and Aquino he should have a good night.

Dylan Bundy ($8,100) vs RoyalsBundy has been surprisingly decent lately for the Orioles. Coming into tonight’s game Bundy has allowed 2 ER or less in 4 of his last 5 starts and in his last outing vs the Royals he was superb with 7 Ks and only 1 ER allowed across 7 innings. There isn’t a lot of pop in the Royals lineup besides Soler so I think Bundy should be able to limit the damage if he continues to pitch effectively like he has been. Bundy is probably the lowest tier pitcher I would go for in tonight’s slate.

Top Hitters

J.T. Realmuto ($4,500) vs MetsRealmuto is one of the best hitting catchers in the game and he is showing why lately going 8 for his last 15 with 4 R 1 HR and an RBI. He hasn’t produced runs in a big way but in a Phillies lineup with a lot of good pieces there is always chances. A big reason I like Realmuto tonight is because of his history vs Zack Wheeler, .500 with 2 doubles across 17 career PAs. It’s hard to overlook those numbers so I am willing to pay $4,500 for a catcher tonight.

Shin-Soo Choo ($4,500) vs MarinersChoo is an on base machine for the Rangers and that is what makes him valuable. Coming into tonight’s game Choo has reached base in 11 of his last 13 games and has a hit in 3 of his last 5. He has also seen Mariners SP Marco Gonzalez very well hitting .471 with a double and a walk across 19 ABs in his career. Texas is a friendly place to hit in the summer and usually are high scoring games so that is what we are hoping for tonight.

 

Jeff McNeil ($4,400) vs PhilliesMcNeil spent some time on the IL but he has become one of the best hitters for average in all of baseball. He is hitting over .330 on the year and has already racked up 2 multi-hit games since his return. He will have a tough matchup vs Aaron Nola tonight but in the past he has shown he can get some hits vs the star pitcher by hitting .313 in 17 career PAs. If you are interested in a high floor bat to stabilize your team McNeil is your guy tonight vs the Phillies.

Hunter Renfroe ($3,700) vs GiantsSo Renfroe is the ultimate boom or bust guy with his big power numbers and his very poor average, especially in the 2ndhalf of the season. But knowing all of this I still like him vs Madison Bumgarner because of their history. He is hitting .333 vs the lefty with 2 doubles and 3 homers vs the 18 ABs. If there is ever a time to pick Renfroe it is against a left handed pitcher and especially Bumgarner.
