The MLB DFS main slate features 11 games on DraftKings and 13 games on FanDuel with a 1:35 ET start time and little time to discuss. The board is strongly leaning in the direction of bats, there are numerous high-end starters available but the abundance of lousy pitchers taking the mound is pushing scoring up and home runs are following in the power index for key teams like the Rangers, Cubs, Mariners, Astros, and even the scuffling Yankees.
Main Slate Power Index – 8/27/23
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.
