Welcome back readers of FantasyCPR, in this piece we will cover the top stacks to help you crush your tournaments lineups for today’s DraftKings GPP slate.

Let’s dive into the DraftKings GPP slate:

Ranking the Top DraftKings GPP Stacks:

1.) Minnesota Twins v. Alex Cobb (5.4 Projected Run Total) 

The clear chalk stack of the slate. The Twins even on a 15-game slate this stack is going to be popular as they absolutely blasted Alex Cobb on April 20th for 9 earned runs and 3 Home Runs in just 2.2 innings pitched. Cobb’s pitch types are not overall difficult and he simply is not a strong pitcher so I can get behind picking on him on this slate.

Cobb’s Pitch Type:

Right – Handed Batters: 

Fastballs – 62.45%

Curve – 23.33%

Splitter – 13.75%

Left – Handed Batters: 

Fastballs – 40.90%

Splitter – 39.60%

Curve – 19.50%

Minnesota Hitters to Play: (wOBA/ ISO / Hard Hit%)

Eddie Rosario ($5,300) 

Fastball – 0.351 / 0.219 / 36.88%

Splitter – 0.314 / 0.182 / 20%

Curve  – 0.275 / 0.195 / 37.61%

C.J. Cron ($4,000) 

Fastball – 0.368 / 0.243 / 37.86%

Curve – 0.318 / 0.231 / 31.76%

Splitter – 0.232 / 0.222 / 50%

DraftKings GPP MLB DFS Picks – Friday, April 26

2.) Washington Nationals v. Matt Strahm (4.0 Projected Run Total)

Strahm has been decent to start the season, but he has been blown up this year and it can happen again against an Nationals team that crushes his pitch types and left – handed pitchers. This is not a good matchup for Strahm if the Nationals roll out a healthy lineup.

Strahm’s Pitch Types:

Right – Handed Hitters: 

Fastball – 53.51%

Changeup – 18.48%

Slider- 16.67%

Left – Handed Hitters: 

Fastball – 55.61%

Slider – 31.59%

Slider – 0.329 / 0.184 / 34.38%

Ryan Zimmerman ($3,800) 

Fastball – 0.407 / 0.259 / 43.33%

Changeup – 0.279 / 0.102 / 33.33%

Low Owned Stack:

Los Angeles Dodgers v. Chris Archer (4.0 Projected Run Total) 

Do not expect the Dodgers to get much look today, however, I think this is a matchup that Archer is going to struggle with. The Dodgers are heading back home after a long 7-game, 8-day road trip. Archer does have the ability to strikeout the Dodgers but I think it’s more than likely that Archer might get blown up tonight .
