MLB DFS – Building Our Bats:

With the ability to pay down at pitcher with guys like Duffy and Ray, we will have the ability to essentially stack whichever offense we want – go ahead and stack up Coors Field if you want or you can pivot to a Yankees team with a near 7 IRT at home against Aaron Sanchez and the Blue Jays.

Sanchez has given up 6 or more runs in 4 of his last 5 outings which included a game in Yankee Stadium where he gave up 7 ER on 9 hits and with 80 degree temperatures and 10 MPH winds blowing out to RF, this has all the makings of a rough outing once again for the Jays right-hander in the Bronx.

This Yankee line-up is just loaded with power, as 6 of the 9 projected hitters have .220+ ISO marks against RHP this season while 4 hitters have 40% or higher hard contact rates. Over the last month the Yankees lead baseball in team wOBA at .361, with the second highest ISO mark at .220 with 49 HR’s which ranks 3rd in the league.

With FantasyDraft’s ability to stack up to 6 hitters from one team, go ahead and click in Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Didi Gregorious, Edwin Encarnacion, Aaron Hicks and Gleyber Torres. For a team with a 7 implied run total, the fact that every single batter in the Yankees line-up is under $10K, means you can stack up the heart of the Bronx Bombers easily if you opt to pay down for arms like Duffy and Ray.
