MLB Daily Fantasy Stacks & Pitchers – 9/06/16

Nick Rodriguez

We have a full 15-game schedule on our hands today, so things should get exciting! There are plenty of stacking options to target on this slate, So let’s dive right into the picks and make some money!

Pitchers

Corey Kluber FD 10800 DK 12600
Opponent – HOU (Keuchel) Park – @CLE
FD – 38.63 DK – 25.39

Corey Kluber is having another Corey Kluber type season, which is why he is my guy for cash games. Yes, he’s a bit expensive, but he’s got a great offense behind him, which helps his chances of picking up a Win. He has an excellent floor with an extremely high ceiling. Don’t believe me?

Then let’s take a look at his numbers:

In 2016, Kluber has been astounding. He’s sporting an ERA, xFIP and SIERA all under 3.50, to go along with a 26.0 K%. Do you see why I say he’s got big upside? Not only does he have upside of his own, but this matchup against the Astros puts the icing on the cake – as they own a whopping 23.5 K% on the year (4th in MLB). Yes, this offense is streaky, but they will be going up against one of the top pitchers in the game today.

Jason Hammel FD 8700 DK 7500
Opponent – MIL (Peralta) Park – @MIL
FD – 33.24 DK – 21.54

If you don’t trust Kluber, are an Astros’ fan, or fear Altuve and company – then go ahead and go with Jason Hammel. Not only is Vegas on his side (-173 money line), but he also draws an incredible matchup going up against the Milwaukee Brewers.

2016 has not been a good year for the Brewers’ offense, especially against right-handed pitchers. They own the highest K% on the year along with an 86 wRC+ (26th in MLB). I know that Hammel can be a bit inconsistent, but this matchup is too good to pass on and has a nice price tag. He’s in play in all formats for me tonight.

STACK TARGETS

Washington Nationals vs. Williams Perez(ATL)

Williams Perez made his MLB debut in 2015, and since then his numbers are less than attractive. For his career, he owns a 4.73 xFIP along with a 1.45 WHIP and 9.1 BB%. He struggles with control and command in his pitches, which is why I’m all over this Nationals’ squad. They are a suitable pivot from Coors Field and have a lineup that has major upside. They are my top stack of the night, and yes – ahead of any team playing at Coors Field.

My top 4 guys to stack:
Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Daniel Murphy and Jason Werth.

Colorado Rockies vs Jeff Samardzija (SF)

I know I said the Nationals were my favorite tournament stack of the evening, but I can’t leave out the Rockies as they will be playing at home. Not only that, but they will be going up against a pitcher that owns a 4.74 xFIP in the 2nd half of the season. He also owns an 8.9 BB% and a 4.88 SIERA. Things haven’t been all that notable for the hard-throwing right-hander, and I don’t expect it to get any better tonight, especially against this offense at Coors!

My top 4 guys to stack: David Dahl, Nolan Arenado, DJ LeMahieu and Carlos Gonzalez.
