Slated to pitch today, Marlins ace, Jose Fernandez, left us much too early after a boating accident. A haunting "TBD" on MLB.com appeared early this morning where "Fernandez" once was. The Marlins will have to play their first game since losing their team leader; undoubtedly, there will be a lot of emotion involved. Even on his days off, the always smiling, always jovial, Fernandez, will remain within the hearts, of not just the players, but everyone that loves this game we call baseball.

Let’s proceed the best we can as we play out these last few remaining days of MLB Daily Fantasy.

PITCHER

Kyle HendricksKyle Hendricks FD 10100 DK 12000
Opponent – PIT (Kuhl) Park – @PIT
FD – 36.00 DK – 20.1

On a bit of the higher salary spectrum, Kyle Hendricks has a lofty price tag. However, he’s proven that he is certainly worth it. Hendricks comes into today, posting 21 straight starts with three or fewer earned runs, the longest streak in MLB. If that sounds impressive, that’s because it is. He leads the majors with a 2.06 ERA, has a .95 WHIP, and a 29% strikeout rate.

Adam ConleyAdam Conley FD 7100 DK 5500
Opponent – NYM (Colon) Park – @MIA
FD – 28.4 DK – 14.10

If you’re looking for value, look no further than Adam Conley. After the aforementioned tragedy, there is little chance of the Marlins losing this game. They will come out on the field with endless vigor and intense passion and get the win in honor of Fernandez. Another important factor, Conley’s numbers versus the Mets have been impressive so far this season, with an allowed wOBA of .242, SLG of .283, and OBP of .258. While he does have control issues at times, he makes up for it in his K/9 rate which is a healthy 8.41.

STACKS

Cleveland Indians vs. Buck Farmer (Tigers)
Park – Comerica Park

The Indians are the top stack target today as they are one game away from clinching the American League Central. Going against young right-hander Buck Farmer, it’s possible that the Indians open up their artillery shells and explode. Farmer, going 5-6 with a 4.32 ERA, has less than mediocre results in AAA ball. Expect a lot of runs from the Indians, as they hit Farmer all over and out of the field. Favorite player targets include: Francisco Lindor, Tyler Naquin, Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Severino (Yankees)
Park – Rogers Centre

The Blue Jays are on a hot streak winning seven games out of heir last ten. During the last seven games, they have an impressive .359 wOBA and .451 SLG. Putting up runs all over the field, this should continue as they chase a Wild Card spot versus fill-in right-hander, Luis Severino.
Severino moves out of the bullpen into a spot-start in place of the injured Masahiro Tanaka. Severino’s numbers versus the BlueJays are what I find most attractive in this spot. With Justin Smoak, Josh Donaldson, Kevin Pillar and Jose Bautista all homering off of him in relief appearances this season, things can go bad very quickly for The Yankees.
