05/21/2021 Draftkings MLB News and Notes

05/21

Slate Overview:

  • 15 Games!!!!

  • Weather Concerns

  • Wind: CWS@NYY 5-10 to LF, BOS@PHI 7-8 to RF, HOU@TEX 10-13 blowing IN (check roof status), DET@KC 10-15 to LF, ARI@COL 15-20 to Center, OAK@LAA 10-15 to Right Center, LAD@SF 13-15 to Right, SEA@SF 10-12 blowing IN.

  • Things that stand out to me:

  • You can find the last 2-week team hitting data (here).

  • Mike Minor will be very chalky but has some underlying numbers that suggest that maybes he's been running a little hot lately.

  • The Rockies activated Brendan Rodgers from the IL today, he still has the IL tag on DK but will be batting 6th and is priced all the way down to $2.6K.

  • C-Mart has some negative regression heading his way.

Bets

  • MIA ML (-108)

  • TEX ML (+108)

  • CWS F5 -0.5 (+115)

DFS

Home Run Call(S):

  • Tyler Naquin

  • One of Alex Kirilloff or Rob Refsnyder....honorable mention Josh Donalson

Stacks:

Chalk/Cash:

  • COL/ARI - Fun.....Coors.....Fun

  • MIL

  • WAS

GPP:

  • TEX - I know what you're thinking oh great here comes Mitch with the Rangers stack again what a homer......well I'll admit I'm a homer but I really do think this time (bias aside) that they are being overlooked tonight. If you uh.....glaze over the 2 shutouts they just had........they have been hitting the ball well and have found their groove with Willy in the lineup & tonight they go against Tyler Ivey, the Astros have been touting pretty highly but in his minor league starts this year he has allowed 7 hits, 5 walks, and 5 earned runs in 6.1 innings.

  • STL - Did Kyle Hendricks dominate the Tigers last time out and have 8 K's and 30 Dk points....yeah but I'm pretty sure Jimmy working at the Churro stand could put up a similar performance against the Tigers this year. Probably would just do my 3 stack from this game with (Yadi, Arenado, Goldy)
