SP:

Freddy Peralta, Brewers (DK$9,800 | FD: $9,900)

George Kirby, Mariners (DK: $9,600 | FD: $10,500)

Zac Gallen, Diamondbacks (DK: $9,100 | FD: $9,200)

Notes: I think we need to pay up for pitching tonight. These three are projected to be at the top in scoring according to the DFS Hero Optimizer as they face weak hitting teams.

Stacks:

Baltimore Orioles vs. San Diego Padres

Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago Cubs

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox

Notes: The Optimizer projects the Orioles and Royals to be the top scoring teams and the Yankees to be the best value stack.

C:

Logan O’Hoppe, Angels (DK: $4,000 | FD: $3,000)

Austin Wells, Yankees (DK: $3,800 | FD: $2,800)

Notes: I rarely pay up for catchers especially when I am paying up for pitching. The optimizer projects these two to have top 5 value at the catcher position.

1B:

Rhys Hoskins, Brewers (DK: $4,000 | FD: $2,800)

Ben Rice, Yankees (DK: $3,900 | FD: $2,900)

Notes: I don’t want to spend up at first base. I think both of these players can do a lot of damage at a safe price.

2B:

Jordan Westburg, Orioles (DK: $4,800 | FD: $3,100)

Nico Hoerner, Cubs (DK: $4,100 | FD: $2,900)

Notes: Westburg has a great matchup vs. SP Adam Mazur. Hoerner is one of my gut plays.

3B:

Alex Bregman, Astros (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,300)

Matt Chapman, Giants (DK: $4,100 | FD: $3,300)

Notes: The optimizer projects Chapman to lead all third basemen in scoring, making him amongst the top valued players on the slate. Bregman also comes in at solid value.

SS:

Bobby Witt Jr., Royals (DK: $6,300 | FD: $4,700)

Gunnar Henderson, Orioles (DK: $6,200 | FD: $4,400)

Willy Adames, Brewers (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,500)

Notes: I am paying up at shortstop in most of my lineups. Witt Jr. is on fire right now. Henderson would be my second choice and Adames can be sneaky.

OF:

Aaron Judge, Yankees (DK: $6,400 | FD: $4,500)

Juan Soto, Yankees (DK: $6,000 | FD: $4,600)

Anthony Santander, Orioles (DK: $5,100 | FD: $3,700)

Taylor Ward, Angels (DK: $4,000 | FD: $2,900)

Jorge Soler, Giants (DK: $3,900 | FD: $3,000)

Notes: The optimizer projects Soto to lead all outfielders in scoring with Judge being a close second. The other three have top 10 value among players priced above $3,500.

Value Players:

C Victor Caratini, Mets (DK: $2,700 | FD: $2,400)

OF Alex Verdugo, Yankees (DK: $3,300 | FD: $2,700)

3B Anthony Rendon, Angels (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,700)

2B/SS Tyler Fitzgerald, Giants (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,900)

2B Gleyber Torres, Yankees (DK: $3,600 | FD: $2,800)

SS Anthony Volpe, Yankees (DK: $3,700 | FD: $3,000)

3B Joseph Ortiz, Brewers (DK: $3,700 | FD: $2,600)

SP Drew Thorpe, White Sox (DK: $6,600 | FD: $8,000)

Notes: The Yankees are severely underpriced. They have the easiest pathway to grab the cash. Torres is hot and is my top option on the slate. Thorpe has tossed a solid game or two and allows you to get both Soto and Witt Jr.
