Today, we have a 11-game MLB slate on DraftKings, starting at 7:05 p.m. ET. Check out my favorite players at each position, value plays, and stacks! Our partners at DFSHero.com provide us with access to their lineup optimizer and AI simulator, which we use to provide you with the best DFS plays every day!

SP:

Chris Sale, Braves (DK: $10,500 | FD: $11,200)

Logan Gilbert, Mariners (DK: $10,000 | FD: $10,800)

Zach Wheeler, Phillies (DK: $9,500 | FD: $10,600)

Notes: Sale has averaged 24.9 fantasy points per game and the Optimizer projects him to be the highest scoring pitcher on the slate. Gilbert is projected second and has a great matchup vs. a bad Angels team. Wheeler faces the Twins who have Carlos Correa, Royce Lewis, and Jose Miranda all out of the lineup.

Stacks:

Boston Red Sox vs. Colorado Rockies

New York Yankees vs. New York Mets

Colorado Rockies vs. Boston Red Sox

Notes: The Optimizer projects the Red Sox to score almost 6 runs and they should against SP Ty Blach. Meanwhile, the Yankees are projected to score over 5 runs and the Optimizer rates the Yankee stack as having the best value.

C:

Connor Wong, Boston Red Sox (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,500)

Notes: Wong made the list last night and came through with a home run. I look for a multi-hit game from him tonight as the Optimizer projects him to be the highest scoring catcher.

1B:

Bryce Harper, Phillies (DK: $5,700 | FD: $4,000)

Matt Olson, Braves (DK: $5,100 | FD: $3,300)

Notes: The DFS Hero Optimizer projects Harper to finish third in first basemen scoring but I think he may crush the Twins pitching tonight. Olson can do a lot of damage and the optimizer projects that he will be < 4% owned.

2B:

Jose Altuve, Astros (DK: $5,300 | FD: $3,600)

Brandon Lowe, Rays (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,100)

Notes: The Optimizer projects Lowe and Altuve to finish second and third behind Ketel Marte in second base points but they will have half the ownership.

3B:

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays (DK: $4,800 | FD: $3,600)

Alex Bregman, Astors (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,200)

Notes: Guerrero and Bregman are both projected to be top 5 in third base scoring and are a pivot off of Rafael Devers who will be 15% owned.

SS:

Ceddanne Rafaela, Red Sox (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,300)

Ezequiel Tovar, Rockies (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,700)

Notes: I feel confident that one, if not both of these shortstops will score double digits tonight.

OF:

Aaron Judge, Yankees (DK: $6,500 | FD: $4,800)

Tyler O’Neill, Red Sox (DK: $5,700 | FD: $4,200)

Yordan Alvarez, Astros (DK: $5,500 | FD: $4,100)

Corbin Carroll, Diamondbacks (DK: $4,800 | FD: $3,200)

Robert Refsnyder, Red Sox (DK: $4,300 | FD: $3,100)

Notes: All of them are projected to be top 10 in outfielder scoring. All have excellent matchups and 20 point potential.

Value Players:

2B Brooks Baldwin, White Sox (DK: $2,000 | FD: $2,200)

3B Abraham Toro, Athletics (DK: $3,400 | FD: $2,700)

C Gabriel Moreno, Diamondbacks (DK: $3,600 | FD: No Play)

OF Gerrett Mitchell, Brewers (DK: $3,000 | FD: $2,500)

OF Lawrence Butler, Athletics (DK: $3,700 | FD: $3,200)

SS Dansby Swanson, Cubs (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,600)

SP Jon Gray, Rangers (DK: $7,000 | FD: $7,500)

SP Jose Soriano, Angels (DK: $7,600 | FD: $8,100)

Notes: These players have high projected value and most of the hitters have been in winning lineups recently. Pitchers Gray and Soriano have solid matchups and allow you to get an extra big bat or two.
