Baseball is not a sport that lends itself to daily action. What I am doing here is nearly impossible. I am giving you the angle most can't see nor apply. THAT is part of what makes this site so unique.


Disclaimer 2- These articles are going to be blunt and reflect what the numbers say and NOT what I want nor what I hope happens. DO NOT get this confused. I am TRYING to help you in the fantasy baseball and daily fantasy space. I am not going to waste your time on what I want. I am going to tell you what the numbers say is most LIKELY.

The MoneyMaker Daily Lineup Analysis Data

This data will be set with the 2023 xwOBA data. We will consider updating to the 2024 current season data in June when there is enough of a database for it.

We focus the data on starters vs. the other team's lineups. League average wOBA 0.319.



Starting for the Astros- Framber Valdez vs. the Angels

As mentioned in the series preview, there are several Angels that may not have a significant sample size vs. LHP (Normally, I set this at 200 pitches). These players are shown in yellow.

Even given this; Framber appears to have a good matchup vs. the Angels, but not good enough to take action on Valdez.


The Angels best bet fantasy stars today are:

  • No Picks today


The runs model would project the Angels to score 3.8 runs today if the starting pitcher was in the game for 9 innings.


Starting for the Angels- Reid Detmers vs. the Astros

The Astros project as a team to hit 0.343 xwOBA today.


Even against the LHSP, the Astros best bet fantasy stars today are:

  • Alvarez and Tucker but there is not a total bases line for either.

  • Alvarez (0.405)- over 1.5 Total Hits, Runs And RBI's (-155 on Bovada)- This qualifies as a LGM Pick of the Day

  • Tucker (0.399)- over 1.5 Total Hits, Runs And RBI's (-145 on Bovada)

  • IF you take action and can get a total bases line, take that instead.


The runs model would project the Astros to score 5.4 runs today if the starting pitcher was in the game for 9 innings.


Let's have fun today Astros fans.
