MLB Daily Fantasy Stacks & Pitchers – 09-12-16

As NFL football fills our television screens and warms our heart with glee, we move even closer to post-season MLB. We have a full menu on tap for you today, providing your fill of 15 games with a few offenses in prime position to put up some runs. Let’s dance, shall we?

PITCHERS

Carlos Carrasco FD 10700 DK 12200
Opponent – CHW (Gonzalez) Park – @CWS
FD – 34.39 DK – 22.62

While Carlos Carrasco is usually a more of a tournament play, he should be able to provide sufficient results in both cash and tournaments tonight. He is up against the Chicago White Sox, who have a stunningly low .308 wOBA. Carrasco has given strong performances versus both left-handers and righties. Exhibiting a .278 wOBA versus right-handers, he has an impressive 17.4% line drive rate with a 9.42 K/9. It is certain that the White Sox have a few power bats in the lineup, however as is the cast with power-hitters they strikeout a ton and have bouts of cold streaks. Even though the game will be played in a hitters park, Carrasco has been known to give fantastic performances in any ballpark.

STACKS

San Francisco Giants vs. Paul Clemens (San Diego Padres)
Park – AT&T Park

The matchup tonight should bode well for the Giants as pitching for the Padres is Paul Clemens. Clemens has offered less than attractive numbers throughout his spotty MLB career. Given the fact that he is also getting over a sickness, this should make him a likely candidate for a less than average performance. Even before the bug took its toll, he hasn’t been able to find a groove, since the beginning of August he has posted a 6.08 ERA with a 4.39 BB/9. The Giants are starting to get serious about their chance at a post-season winning their last three games and now only three games behind their division rival, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Expect more of the same from your fan-favourites Pence, Posey and Panic.
