SP:

Bryce Miller, Mariners (DK: $8,400 | FD: $8,600)

Hunter Greene, Reds (DK: $8,200 | FD: $9,900)

Notes: The DFS Hero Optimizer projects Greene and Miller as the top two scoring pitchers and pitchers with the most value.

Stacks:

Boston Red Sox vs. Colorado Rockies

Houston Astros vs. Oakland Athletics

Kansas City Royals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Notes: The Red Sox have the highest projected run total and could dominate the slate vs. SP Austin Gomber. The Astros also have a solid matchup vs. SP Hogan Harris. The Optimizer projects the Royals to be second in scoring behind the Red Sox.

C:

JT Realmuto, Phillies (DK: $4,500 | FD: $2,600)

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

Notes: The top catchers are generally overpriced. These two are about right, and the optimizer projects Wong second in catcher scoring and Realmuto fourth.

1B:

Bryce Harper, Phillies (DK: $5,800 | FD: $4,000)

Vinny Pasquantino, Royals (DK: $4,800 | FD: $3,100)

Notes: I think SP Bailey Ober is going to struggle to get Harper out. Plus, the Twins bullpen is a bit spent having to soak up innings vs. Milwaukee over the weekend. Pasquantino is projected to be top 4 in first basemen scoring.

2B:

Jose Altuve, Astros (DK: $5,300 | FD: $3,700)

Brice Turang, Brewers (DK: $4,400 | FD: $2,900)

Notes: Altuve is the top projected scoring second baseman. Turang is top four with less than 5% projected ownership.

3B:

Rafael Devers, Red Sox (DK: $6,300 | FD: $4,400)

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

Notes: Devers and Bregman both have excellent matchups. Devers could have a monster night at Coors Field.

SS:

Bobby Witt Jr., Royals (DK: $6,400 | FD: $4,500)

Corey Seager, Rangers (DK: $5,000 | FD: $3,700)

Notes: Witt is hot right now with 9 hits in his last 11 at-bats. Seager is a bit underpriced.

OF:

Tyler O’Neill, Red Sox (DK: $5,800 | FD: $4,100)

Yordan Alvarez, Astros (DK: $5,500 | FD: $3,900)

Kyle Schwarber, Phillies (DK: $5,400 | FD: $3,900)

Luis Robert, White Sox (DK: $5,000 | FD: $3,300)

Byron Buxton, Twins (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,300)

Notes:

The optimizer projects these outfielders projected to do well tonight, as they all have solid matchups. Watch out for Buxton going forward. He has been relatively healthy and striking out less. He is a well above 5K player if he keeps it up.

Value Players:

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

OF Mitch Haniger, Mariners (DK: $2,800 | FD: $2,400)

C Christian Vazquez, Twins (DK: $3,000 | FD: $2,400)

OF Garrett Mitchell, Brewers (DK: $3,100 | FD: $2,500)

OF Lawrence Butler, Athletics (DK: $3,500 | FD: $3,200)

3B Joey Ortiz, Brewers (DK: $3,700 | FD: $2,700)

SP Blake Snell, Padres (DK: $7,500 | FD: $7,400)

Notes: The optimizer projects these players among the top value on the slate. Vazquez is a solid punt at catcher. Mitchell is going to get hot soon and Snell can strikeout double digits vs. anyone.
