Friday’s huge 12-game main slate gets underway at 7:05 ET on both DraftKings and FanDuel and features a bit of everything. We have a relatively deep and interesting list of pitching options on the mound, several soft spots for potential offensive blowups, and a Coors Field game on deck for this evening. A few of the top teams in the power index are facing talented starters, so there will be a nice wide range of outcomes in play even in the most appealing spots on the way into the slate. Getting to a broad spread of options and lineup combinations is a good approach, with 24 teams in action there is certainly plenty to choose from on a slate of this size but we cannot cover all possibilities, this is where it becomes critical to play the balance between upside and leverage against the field in large MLB DFS tournaments.
Main Slate Power Index – 5/26/23 – DraftKings & FanDuel Main Slates
The power index represents a team’s opportunity for home run upside in the matchup against the scheduled starting pitcher. This is not a direct guideline for stacking, but it can be utilized to determine the most likely sources of power-based contact, hitters who are not homering are frequently hitting doubles and driving in runs, and providing valuable MLB DFS scoring. The “Full” column averages our home run opportunity score for each player in the lineup from 1-9, while the “Top 6” column averages only hitters 1-6, where teams typically place their most significant bats.
