The huge 12-game Friday slate includes an extremely deep pitching board but still shows a few high-quality spots for power potential with several of the games best lineups drawing good marks against strong pitching and the few clunker starters on the board offering up obviously large numbers to the opposition. The slate demands a broad spread of shares both on the mound and at the plate, premium options like Spencer Strider, Brandon Woodruff, Kodai Senga, Dylan Cease, Yu Darvis, and more will all pull shares in their directions with similar high-end projections for high prices, while the key bats throughout the quality lineups of qest coast teams like the Angels, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, and Padres dominate the top of the overall board for power with other teams joining the fun by fantasy point projections on our full stacks board.
Main Slate Power Index – 8/25/23
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.
