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.



You also may want to check out the (Premium Astros Series Guide Data- Yankees- 5/7- 5/9 (larrythegm.com) 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- Spencer Arrighetti vs. the Yankees


Arrighetti gets the start for the Astros today. The table is built based on a hybrid data set of AAA and MLB data from 2023-2024.


The Yankees project as a team to hit 0.315 xwOBA today

.

The Yankees best bet fantasy stars today are:

  • Judge (0.528)- over 1.5 Total Bases (+100 on Bovada)- LarryTheGM Pick of the Day

  • Torres (0.405)- over 0.5 Total Bases (-180 on Bovada)


The runs model would project the Mariners to score 5.7 runs today if the starting pitcher was in the game for 9 innings.


Starting for the Yankees- Carlos Rodon vs. the Astros

Rodon gets the start for the Yankees today. His 0.273 BABIP would indicate he has been slightly lucky. His 4.78 FIP vs. 3.68 ERA is a indicates an even larger luck component. For us xWOBA folks, his 2024 xwOBA is 0.335 vs. a 2023 average xwOBA of 0.351.

The Astros project as a team to hit 0.364 xwOBA today- very good.


Note: For Singleton, I have updated this database to reflect a hybrid of 2023-2024 MLB and AAA (w/ 80% factor). I think it is FAR more reflective of how the Astros are using Singleton.


For Kessinger, Loperfido, and Cabbage; I have updated this data based on AAA data from 2023-2024 with my 80% factor. Therefore, a AAA xwOBA of 0.400 is reduced to project it to an MLB xwOBA of 0.320.


The Astros best bet fantasy stars today are:

  • Tucker (0.433)- over 1.5 Total Bases (+130 on Bovada)

  • Alvarez (0.428)- over 1.5 Total Bases (+115 on Bovada)

  • Altuve (0.383)- over 1.5 Total Bases (+110 on Bovada)

The runs model would project the Astros to score 6.1 runs today if the starting pitcher was in the game for 9 innings.


Let's have fun today Astros fans.
