Top MLB DFS Hitters – OF

Cody Bellinger  – Bellinger has been struggling in the past week, but this is probably his coldest streak all year, and that’s really saying something. He has impressive numbers against RHP, with a .349 ISO, 43% FB rate, and 51% HC. It is also possible that he reaches 50 home runs with ease, especially since LA is a lock to make a deep run in the postseason.

Charlie Blackmon  – Another player who has had a cold last week, but has been solid all year, Charlie has a .266 ISO, 39% FB rate, and 40% HC against RHP. Williams is slightly worse against LHH, giving up less GB, and having a higher ISO. Both of these are bad news in the home run capital of Baseball.

Bryan Reynolds  – Reynolds is the second top tier prospect the Pittsburgh will very likely trade in the next year or two. He has a massive 48% HC rate against RHP, and while he does not hit many FB, Chi Chi is going to give up at least two home runs, and one will be against Reynolds.

J.D. Davis  – Davis will be the final player I really like in this NY stack. He does not hit many FB, but does have a 51% HC rate, and .196 ISO against LHP. That HC rate is very appealing, and if he can get the ball in the air, he is priced very cheap batting at the top of this lineup.

Sam Hilliard  – The young slugging prospect for Colorado will hopefully be back in action against Pittsburgh. FanDuel neglected to bump his price tag up, and it is far too cheap at 2.5k. In his first MLB game he delivered hitting a home run, and was having a very good AAA season, hitting 35 long balls, 101 RBI’s, and even 22 stolen bases. Assuming he will start, Hilliard is a lock for me in all formats.
