Top MLB DFS Hitters – 2B

Gleyber Torres – While I do like some other options at second base today, Torres has been hitting LHP very well as of late. Kikuchi has a .238 ISO against RHH, with 36% HC and FB rates. Torres has 40% HC, a 37% FB rate, and over .200 ISO against LHP. The Yankees always have one of the highest implied totals and although Torres is pricey, he makes for a great play.

Ryan McMahon – Rick Porcello will be pitching in Coors Field, and that is a recipe for disaster. He has been pretty bad this year, giving up 47% FB, 33% HC, and a .209 ISO against LHH. McMahon doesn’t hit many FB, but he does have a 44% HC rate against righties. Ryan has done very well at Coors, and is projected to hit fifth in the order, making him a solid piece in a Colorado stack.

Ozzie Albies – Ozzie is way too cheap on FanDuel at 3k. He has been having great success against LHP, with a .279 ISO, 33% FB rate, and 47% HC. He is also moved up the order any time a lefty is on the mound. Pannone is very bad against RHH, and Ozzie should be able to take full advantage.
