Ben’s MLB Daily Fantasy Plays – 9/15/23

Ben's MLB Daily DraftKings Plays

BEN’S MLB DAILY FANTASY INTRO

What’s up, 4DEEP?! It’s already Friday, which means it’s time to build that bankroll up for Sunday.  I had a great FD team last night that was directly correlated with my quick hits, so let’s stay hot! TX and myself will be live in Discord to go more in depth on the plays below. LET’S F—!!!!

PITCHERS

  1. Aaron Nola FD $10,200 – Dominated this team a few starts ago and I expect him to do something similar to that tonight.   
  2. Tarik Skubal FD $9,800 – I like Skubal quite a bit more than Nola and actually think he’s safer.  He dominates LHH, which should neutralize Ohtani, and then we are left only having to worry about Drury and Grichuk, which I’m more than okay with.  Skubal has looked AMAZING since returning from injury and has the chance to be the highest-scoring pitcher on the slate. 
  3. Bailey Ober FD $8,700 – This guy just always seems to have the nut matchup and underperform, lol. But, I’m not overthinking it and will continue to target bad teams.  I used Maeda last night and it payed off in a big way. 
  4. Hunter Greene FD $8,600 – Man, am I excited for this play. Greene has been lights out his last two starts, only giving up four hits while striking out 15 in 11 innings pitched.  I like targeting the Mets with righties and LOVE this spot for Greene today. 
  5. Jack Flaherty FD $8,100 – This is as cheap as I feel comfortable going tonight, and comfortable is a strong word here, lol.  Jack has been up and down all season and put together his ceiling games when it was least expected.  Well, he’s going to go overlooked tonight and this Rays team has a huge K% against RHP. If Flaherty can be the guy we all know he can be, I’m expecting him to put up a monster score at extremely low ownership tonight.

STACKS

  1. Astros – Grienke misses zero bats and has a 1-15 record, lol.  Need I say more? Love the lefties in this lineup along with Altuve and Bregman.
  2. Phillies – Thompson is coming off back to back pretty good starts, but that was against the Reds and Pirates.  This Phillies lineup crushes lefties and is in a great spot tonight. 1-9 is truly all in play with my favorites being Turner, Harper, Casty, and JT.
  3. Giants – San Fran just scored six against Anderson in a pitcher friendly park, so just imagine what they are going to do in Coors.1-9 all in play here again, but my favorite play is easily JD Davis followed by Estrada, Yaz, and Conforto.  I really hate stacking 1-4, so I’ll more than likely fade one of these guys and take a stab at either Haniger or Matos.
  4. Cubs – I really hope the Cubbies come in as low-owned as I’m hoping for. Pfaadt can be good, yes, but when he’s bad, he’s extremely bad and leaves his 90 MPH fastball right over the heart of the plate. Bellinger is a lock to take him deep tonight while Swanson, Crow-Armstrong, and Morel all look great too.
  5. Honorable Mentions: Rangers, Padres
