An early 12:20 ET start time for the seven-game main slates has things in high gear this morning for a slate that features a deep pitching board and a limited pool of potential power that is topped yet again by the Atlanta Braves in a matchup against talented Zac Gallen. There are only a few pitchers who are truly targetable on this slate which should lead to some fairly noteworthy pockets of ownership or lack thereof, creating interesting opportunities for tournament lineup construction with teams in bad matchups.
Main Slate Power Index – 7/20/23
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.
