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.

for this series. This will be available at the lower premium price level and to all Patreon members. This article helps set the foundation for the revolutionary thing we do with that data to give you the MoneyMaker edge below.


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- Cristian Javier vs. the Angels

The Angels project as a team to hit 0.308 xwOBA today.


The Angels best bet fantasy stars today are:

  • No Picks today

  • There are several players who might do well, but they are below the action threshold

  • If YOU HAVE to pick an Angels player, I would take O'Hoppe over 0.5 total bases (-170(


The runs model would project the Angels to score 4.3 runs today if the starting pitcher was in the game for 9 innings.


Starting for the Angels- Griffin Canning vs. the Astros

The Astros project as a team to hit 0.332 xwOBA today.


Canning has reverse xwOBA splits in 2023. Although, in 2024 - with a smaller sample size- this is not true.


The Astros best bet fantasy stars today are:

  • Alvarez (0.437)- over 1.5 Total Bases (-115 on Bovada)- This qualifies as a LGM Pick of the Day

  • At 0.345 xwOBA, Tucker is NOT a pick today if we use the 2023 data and is a pick if we used 2024 data.

  • Diaz (0.378) is close to the threshold. I am going to recommend

  • Diaz over 0.5 HITS (-260)

The runs model would project the Astros to score 5.1 runs today if the starting pitcher was in the game for 9 innings.


Let's have fun today Astros fans.
