Prop God’s NFL Playbook: Week 12
Prop God
Baseball is back! I’m not sure there’s anybody more excited about this than myself, but let’s just all enjoy this together. The only problem with Thursday’s Opening Day is that it’s a two-game slate, and I absolutely hate two-game slates! Give me a couple of more games, as I generally like more options than this! Anyway, my focus for this article will be around my plan for three lineups, which is all I’m rolling with tomorrow .
In case you missed it, I wrote a tournament primer and a deeper dive into MLB DFS. You can click both hyperlinks to understand what I do every day and night. I’ll start with starting pitchers before going through stacks and other favorite plays.
If you haven’t done so already, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Josh Collachi’s starting pitching breakdown, On The Bump. If you’re ever in a bind, you’re not going to find a more in-depth look at your options for the day. Seriously, that thing is a monster and you’re going to want to make sure you’re checking it out constantly.
Starting Pitchers
Stacks
-
Dodgers lefties
-
Dodgers 1-5 hitters
-
Dodgers 2-6 hitters
-
Dodgers 5-9 hitters
-
Nationals power bats (mainly three-man stack)
-
Yankees Power Bats (mainly three-man stack)
-
Giants value (not a stack)
We need to wait for lineups tomorrow to confirm the stacks, but as you can see, I’m targeting Johnny Cueto and the Giants. This is Cueto’s first start in over a year and the bullpen will be in the game early on. San Francisco had one of the worst bullpens last season and the team didn’t do much to get any better.
As for the meeting between the Nats and Yanks, two of the best pitchers square off, but they tend to have some games where they allow home runs. That’s what I’m banking on here. Some targets for power bats from the Nationals are Eric Thames or Howie Kendrick, Carter Kieboom (value), Juan Soto and Asdrúbal Cabrera. From the Yankees side, it’s Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, Gary Sánchez, Luke Voit, Gleyber Torres and Aaron Hicks.
Good Luck!
