Today’s Power Index is split between two wildly different slates. DraftKings is opting for a 1:10 start with 11 games that run through the afternoon games that commence at 4:10. FanDuel decided to skip the early games and the three 4:05 games, opting for a seven-game main slate that begins at 4:10 and includes the 10:07 Mariners vs Angels game in a bizarre decision. Only the three games that start at 4:10 are on both slates, they are the Athletics vs Brewers, Rangers vs Rays, and Nationals vs Braves games, three of those teams land at or near the top of power the board on both slates. The slate features a long list of pitchers, but there are a number of easily targeted starters and this is shaping up like a day to win with bats on both sites.

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.
