The five-game DraftKings and FanDuel main slates get underway at 1:05 ET with a four-game sprint at the outset that will be entirely finished by the time the final game of the slate starts at 3:45 ET in San Francisco. The slate includes a few premium pitching options or good arms in good spots and several hard-hitting teams land at or near the top of the power index. The Twins take the top spot in a cakewalk matchup against Justin Garza, while the world-beating Braves are facing Aaron Nola who was rained out last night and looks about the same as yesterday, a very good but struggling ace of a pitcher against a ridiculous home run hitting lineup. The Red Sox are flashing power against Joe Ryan to some degree, but we are more interested in the lousy Nationals against a bad lefty, as crazy as that feels to write.
Main Slate Power Index – 6/22/23
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.
