DraftKings MLB Daily Fantasy Picks 9/17/19

Top Pitchers

 

Dallas Keuchel ($9,400) vs PhilliesAfter struggling a bit in the middle of the season Dallas Keuchel has started to get hot again at the right time for the Braves. In his last 6 starts he has only allowed a total of 4 ERs and has had 7+ strikeouts in 4 of those games. Tonight he will be up against the Phillies who he played well against his last time out striking out 8 batters across 6 1 hit innings. Keuchel is much cheaper than a lot of the elite arms in tonight’s slate so I have no issue rostering him here.

 

Gio Gonzalez ($7,400) vs PadresGonzalez won’t be starting but he should get a bulk of the innings behind the opener in tonight’s matchup vs the Padres. Like I’ve said in previous posts I love pitchers against the padres because they strikeout a lot and they have a low average as a team. Gonzalez has been pitching solid for the Brewers thus far allowing 2 ER or less in 4 of his last 5 starts. His price is very reasonable tonight and against this type of offense I think he is worth a look if you want to shell out for a big name bat.

Top Hitters

 

Freddie Freeman ($5,100) vs PhilliesFreeman hasn’t had a RBI in a couple of days but tonight is the night I think that will change. He will be up against Phillies SP Vince Velasquez who Freeman has been superb against over the course of his career. In 27 career PAs he is hitting .346 with 2 doubles against the right hander. Freeman is an elite hitter with a .300 average on the season so even though he isn’t playing at an elite level right now I have no issues paying $5,100 for him.

 

Howie Kendrick ($4,300) vs CardinalsFather time has been very kind to Howie Kendrick because despite his age he is still hitting .336 on the season and has looked like one of the best hitters on the Nationals. In his last start Howie went ¾ with a home run and 3 RBIs and has gotten on base with ease against tonight’s Cardinals SP Miles Mikolas. He is 6/8 with 6 singles vs the right handed pitcher. You can’t find this type of consistency many places, especially at this price, so I am rostering Kendrick with confidence tonight.

 

 

Jorge Polanco ($4,200) vs White SoxPolanco has been very productive in the middle of the Twins lineup. Coming into tonight’s game he has at least 1 hit in 6 of his last 7 games with 8 RBIs and 2 home runs. This streak has pushed his average to over the .300 mark and he has become one of the most underrated DFS players in my opinion. While Polanco is hitting it this well I have a hard time not putting him in my lineup.

 

Nick Markakis ($4,100) vs PhilliesMarkakis just returned from the IL and has showed no signs of rust racking up 7 hits 2 R and 3 RBIs in his first 3 games. He has been solid this season with a  .293 average and in the middle of a potent Braves lineup there should be lots of opportunities for Markakis to produce whether that be with runs scored of knocking them in. He comes in at a very fair price tonight so if you are looking for a guy who might be under the radar a bit still because he just came back Markakis is your guy.
