SP:

Hunter Brown, Astros (DK: $8,900 | FD: $9,700)

Brady Singer, Royals (DK: $7,800 | FD: $8,600)

Notes: The DFS Hero Optimizer projects Brown as the top-scoring pitcher. Singer has 20-plus point potential, and he comes in under 8K, which is a nice price.

Stacks:

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Baltimore Orioles

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox

Notes: The Dodgers have the highest projected run total, while the Blue Jays are the most valued stack.

C:

Will Smith, Dodgers (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,200)

Notes: Catcher prices have fallen over the past ten days. Smith and the Dodgers should score over five runs tonight.

1B:

Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers (DK: $6,900 | FD: $4,800)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays (DK: $5,600 | FD: $3,800)

Notes:

There are enough pay-down options, especially at pitcher, to afford Ohtani, the highest projected hitter on the slate. Vlad has been strong over the past few weeks.

2B:

Bryson Stott, Phillies (DK: $3,700 | FD: $2,800)

Whit Merrifield, Braves (DK: $3,600 | FD: $2,700)

Notes: Stott and Merrifield are projected to finish second and third in second-basemen scoring. They are dirt cheap and are the position to pay down for.

3B:

Max Muncy, Dodgers (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,600)

Alec Bohm, Phillies (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,200)

Notes: Muncy and Bohm are projected to finish in the top five in scoring and are more valuable than those priced above them.

SS:

Jeremy Pena, Astros (DK: $3,900 | FD: $3,000)

Tommy Edman, Dodgers (DK: $3,600 | FD: $2,500)

Notes: Usually, I like to pay up at this position, but Edman is one of the most valued hitters on the slate. Pena is a good player to stack in your Yordan Alvarez lineups.

OF:

Yordan Alvarez, Astros (DK: $5,800 | FD: $3,700)

Teoscar Hernandez, Dodgers (DK: $4,900 | FD: $3,500)

George Springer, Blue Jays (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,200)

Jorge Soler, Braves (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,100)

Colton Cowser, Orioles (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,000)

Notes: Alvarez is projected as the second-highest-scoring outfielder. The 4K plus outfielders won’t break the bank and can do a lot of damage at the plate.

Value Players:

OF Ben Gamel, Astros (DK: $2,400 | FD: $2,200)

1B/3B Enrique Hernandez, Dodgers (DK: $2,800 | FD: $2,600)

C Alejandro Kirk, Blue Jays (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,800)

OF Cedric Mullins, Orioles (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,800)

SP Cristopher Sanchez, Phillies (DK: $6,900 | FD: $8,200)

Notes: These are among the top-valued projected players at their positions.
