TOP MLB Plays Today 8/21/17

Another week, another grind! Let's get you green tonight.

Pre-warning Pitching is likely going to be another Monday mess. Let's try and limit the damage, get you some upside plays...

Power Pitching Targets:

  1. Alex Wood, LAD ($12,100 DK, $9700 FD) -WEATHER There's a lot of love for Cole on the other side of this game as well. My issue is weather in Pittsburgh. Don't want to see Wood's flow get stifled. In May Alex dominated the Pirates. Hopefully he can rekindle that magic tonight. Los Angeles is favored. [-138] and Wood's (3-0) in the past month with some messy wins, but he's still hung on. End note: Wood or Cole are very viable options given tonight's pitching choices. Watch the Weather, that being said, we'll personally favor Wood in this matchup.

  2. Cole Hamels, TEX ($11,600 DK, $8600 FD) As close as you can get to a "safe" play when it comes to pitching today. Going against the Angels with clear weather going to make him very chalky this evening. Angels def. struggle with lefties, LAA's lineup has a .289 wOBA vs lefties. LAA's lineup has a .131 ISO vs lefties. Particularly good history, LAA hitting .200 vs Cole Hamels in 87 at bats. Top 80% avg distance past 30 days: 189.1 feet. Even with the chalk factor, given tonight's other pitching choices - will put a strong reco on Hamels. Steal on FanDuel.

Value Pitchers:

Cole being Cole

Freerolls Tonight...

Was in Palm Springs this weekend, guy came up to me (saw my LineStar hat) and asked about it. I told him that I worked there, and he thanked me because he had just recently won $50 in a freeroll from us reminding you to play in them. Hello Jerry! Hope you win another one!
