MLB Daily Fantasy Stacks and Pitchers – 9/20/16

Tuesday is here, and it’s time for a full schedule of nighttime baseball without all of those NFL distractions. The menu is full with 15 main-slate games all in play. Don’t forget to check out our free tool, MLB PlayerLab, which can help you find the most optimal bats to stack in your lineup tonight. Let’s take a look at the top options for both pitchers and stacks.

Pitchers

Jose Fernandez FD 11300 DK 12500
Opponent – WASH (Roark) Park – @MIA
FD – 43.2 DK – 23.9

By now everyone knows that Fernandez dominates his opponents at home. Boasting an insanely impressive .243 wOBA, and a .266 allowed OBP he baffles his adversary in the humid climate. Fernandez comes into today dominating all pitchers in a couple of overall stats for the 2016 season, a 2.58 xFIP, and 12.43 K/9. Even though he is pitching against some intimidating opponents in The Nationals, it’s worth nothing that their offense has been a bit stagnant as of late. Currently, they rank 18th in the league with a 95 wRC+ versus righties, and while they have shown improvement in their lineup with Trea Turner, they have regressed over the last month. All in all, don’t let the big bats scare you, expect more of the same trickery from Jose at home.

Stacks

Texas Rangers vs Daniel Wright (Angels)
Park -Globe Life in Arlington

If you’re looking for an alternative to Coors Field, look no further than Globe Life Park. The hot temperatures of the Texas climate often cause the baseball to fly out of the park. The Rangers, along with the seasonably warm temperatures, have been on fire as of late. In the last 30 days, they rank #3 overall with a .457 slug, and #4 with a .340 wOBA. Tonight their facing one of the weakest pitchers on tap, Daniel Wright. Wright was claimed off waivers from the Reds in early September after they dropped him for less than stellar AAA results, having a 4.21 FIP. However, the Angels saw the potential and promptly picked him up and threw him in the majors, but things have not been going well for him as you might expect. With only 23 MLB innings, the sample size may be small, but the 5.48 FIP, 4.3 Ks/9, and 1.57 HRs/9 have more than confirmed Cincinnati’s doubts. With the Rangers plugging holes in their lineup, with the additions of Carlos Beltran and Lucroy, it’s safe to say that they are a post-season threat.
