Healy’s MLB Daily Fantasy Intro:
Excited to bring my MLB GPP cheatsheet back to the team at 4DEEP, where we will look to build upon all of our past success. Today, I’ll be covering the main slate beginning at 12:20pm. If you’re not familiar with this piece, it will be broken down into the following three sections. A cheat sheet with three tiers of players (each pricing tier is based on DraftKings positions/pricing and includes my preferred cash plays from each position), my favorite stacks to target and which players in said stacks I prefer, and lastly, my “Today’s Edge” section, which covers my edge play/fade of the slate, top HR picks, and the players I expect to be the top performers.
Cheatsheet:
I’m here to give you the players to consider for your 9/20/23 MLB GPPs. This isn’t a list of every player I will have, but rather the top guys I am including in my stacks/core, whether it be as a matchup-based play, ownership-based play, or even a leverage play, they will all be included in this core list.
$ Tier | SP | C | 1B | 2B | 3B | SS | OF |
Top Tier | George Kirby | Cal Raleigh | Bryce Harper | Spencer Steer | Gunnar Henderson | Corey Seager | Soto/Garcia |
Mid Tier | Lo Webb | Jonah Heim | Nate Lowe | Bryson Stott | Josh Jung | Manny Machado | Santander/Verdugo |
Value Tier | Josiah Gray | Luis Campusano | Ryan O’Hearn | Matt Batten | Bobby Dalbec | Gabriel Arias | Hicks/Grossman |
Pitching Pool:
- George Kirby – SEA @ OAK – DK: $9.7k
- Seth Lugo – SD vs. COL – DK: $8.6k
- Logan Webb – SF @ ARI – DK: $8.4k
- Josiah Gray – WAS vs. CWS – DK: $6.5k
Stacks:
- Padres: Taking on Chase Anderson today, the Padres are destined for a huge offensive day! Soto, Campusano, and Machado are the top targets, followed by Batten. 1-9 all in play vs. Anderson.
- O’s: Another spot that most will shy away from attacking Javier, but his splits are so extreme and the O’s should roll out eight LHH who have smashed him to the tune of .218 ISO and .369 wOBA while only striking out a modest 17% of the time. Who to target: Gunnar, O’Hearn, and Slamtander are my preferred plays. Adley would be the one O that I wouldn’t JAM into my first 2-3 stacks.
- Rangers: Similar to last night, the Rangers will roll out just enough lefties to make them stackable vs Bello. Seager and Lowe are the top two targets to include in all stacks. Grossman and Heim are the value pieces to mix around the power of Garcia and/or Jung.
Today’s Edge:
- Home Run Predictions:
- Nate Lowe
- Manny Machado
- Highest Scoring Hitter: Juan Soto
- Highest Scoring Pitcher: Josiah Gray
- Top Value Play: Luis Campusano
- Player to Fade: Ron Acuna
- Slate Edge: Gunnar Henderson
