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

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.

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

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

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

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

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