SP:

Yusei Kikuchi, Astros (DK: $9,900 | FD: $10,800)

Brayan Bello, Red Sox (DK: $8,200 | FD: $8,300)

Notes: Kikuchi is projected to be the top-scoring pitcher, with Bello a close second.

Stacks:

Houston Astros

Chicago Cubs

Los Angeles Angels

Notes: The Astros and Cubs are projected to be the top-scoring teams. The Angels have the most stack value, and if they hit Kikuchi, they will win the cash.

Catchers:

Yainer Diaz, Astros (DK: $4,500 | FD: $3,000)

William Contreras, Brewers (DK: $4,800 | FD: $3,400)

Notes: Diaz is projected to lead all catchers in scoring, giving him more value than Contreras.

First Base:

Brandon Lowe, Rays (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,200)

Pete Alonso, Mets (DK: $4,900 | FD: $3,300)

Notes: Alonso is projected second in scoring and Lowe fourth giving them solid value at their price points.

Second Base:

Jose Altuve, Astros (DK: $4,900 | FD: $3,300)

Brice Turang, Brewers (DK: $4,300 | FD: $3,000)

Notes: Altuve is projected to lead all second basemen in scoring. Turang is a solid pivot, as he has some pop and speed.

Third Base:

Nolan Arenado, Cardinals (DK: $3,700 | FD: $3,000)

Alex Bregman, Astros (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,100)

Notes: Bregman is projected second in third base scoring but has more value than Rafael Devers. Arenado has 5 hits in his last 10 at-bats. He may finish the season strong.

Shortstop:

Jeremy Pena, Astros (DK: $4,100 | FD: $2,900)

Dansby Swanson, Cubs (DK: $4,300 | FD: $3,100)
