DraftKings MLB: Tuesday Picks
PITCHER Jake Arrieta, CHC vs. MIA ($9,000): One of Arrieta's biggest weaknesses during his decline has been the long ball, but that should be mitigated with the wind projected to be howling in at Wrigley Field on Tuesday. Arrieta has also allowed just five earned runs while striking out 22 batters through 18 innings over his past three starts, and Miami's 22nd-ranked .314 wOBA against righties… → Read More
DraftKings MLB: Tuesday Picks
PITCHER Dallas Keuchel, HOU at MIA ($11,800): Following a dominant performance at Yankee Stadium, Keuchel has now allowed one run or fewer in six of eight starts and sports a 1.69 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 with a 22.8 strikeout percentage. Miami's .354 wOBA against southpaws ranks third in the league, so this is a tough test. However, it should keep Keuchel's ownership down while providing a… → Read More
DraftKings MLB: Tuesday Picks
PITCHER Drew Pomeranz, BOS at MIL ($8,100): The Brewers own an impressive offense against lefties (.359 wOBA) but also sport a target-worthy 26.2 strikeout percentage. With Pomeranz's 11.3 K/9 and 29.3 strikeout percentage, he's got the potential to pile up fantasy points in a hurry. Additionally, Milwaukee has scored the ninth fewest runs in the league over the past two weeks, so there's a… → Read More
DraftKings NHL: Tuesday-Wednesday Picks
DraftKings has a two-day, three-game contest beginning Tuesday. It includes Tuesday's Game 6 between the Rangers and Senators, plus the two Game 7 matchups on Wednesday, Pittsburgh-Washington and Edmonton-Ahaheim. At this stage of the playoffs and in these particular series, line juggling has been commonplace, especially with players sustaining injuries or returning to the lineup from them.… → Read More
FanDuel NHL: Wednesday Playoff Value Plays
There are two games in the NHL on Wednesday. The Ducks visit Edmonton hoping to evening their series at 2-2, and the Capitals are in Pittsburgh looking to do the same. Here are a number of FanDuel selections to consider from Wednesday's shallow player pool. GOALIE Cam Talbot, EDM vs. ANA ($8,300): The last time Talbot had a poor outing, he won the next four games with a .940 save percentage and… → Read More
DraftKings MLB: Tuesday Picks
PITCHER James Paxton, SEA vs. LAA ($9,200): This salary doesn't match Paxton's early-season dominance, as the lefty sports a 1.39 ERA, 1.14 FIP and 31.5 strikeout percentage. Against lefties, the Angels boast a middle-of-the-road .307 wOBA and don't strikeout a lot (16.7 strikeout percentage), but that could keep Paxton's ownership in check. Plus, he's quickly becoming a matchup-proof hurler.… → Read More
