SP:

Bryan Woo, Mariners (DK: $9,000 | FD: $9,400)

SP Nestor Cortes, Yankees (DK: $7,900 | FD: $8,000)

Kyle Gibson, Cardinals (DK: $7,900 | FD: No Play)

Notes: The DFS Hero Optimizer projects Woo to be the highest-scoring pitcher. Cortes is projected to have the highest value. Gibson is my choice if you want to fade Woo.

Stacks:

New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Baltimore Orioles

Notes: The Yankees and Diamondbacks are the two top projected teams, and the Blue Jays have the highest projected stack value.

C:

Cal Raleigh, Mariners (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,100)

J.T. Realmuto, Phillies (DK: $4,500 | FD: $2,900)

Notes: Realmuto is projected to be the top-scoring catcher. Raleigh has two-home run potential.

1B:

Yandy Diaz, Rays (DK: $3,900 | FD: $2,800)

Luke Raley, Mariners (DK: $3,700 | FD: $2,900)

Notes: I don’t want to pay up at first base because Diaz has tremendous value. Raley is my gut feeling play.

2B:

Ketel Marte, Diamondbacks (DK: $6,000 | FD: $4,000)

Brandon Lowe, Rays (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,100)

Notes: I am paying up at second base, and Marte and Lowe are the top two projected second basemen. I love Marte as I think he could have a monster night.

3B:

Alec Bohm, Phillies (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,200)

Eugenio Suarez, Diamondbacks (DK: $3,800 | FD: $3,200)

Notes: Suarez is projected to score the most points at third making him close to automatic at this price. Bohm has a solid matchup.

SS:

Trea Turner, Nationals (DK: $5,800 | FD: $3,800)

Notes: Turner will also dominate many of my lineups and is the top projected second baseman.

OF:

Aaron Judge, Yankees (DK: $6,700 | FD: $4,900)

Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees (DK: $4,500 | FD: $2,900)

Nick Castellanos, Phillies (DK: $3,800 | FD: $3,000)

Josh Lowe, Rays (DK: $3,800 | FD: $2,900)

Notes: Judge and Stanton are a good stacking pair. Castellanos and Lowe have top value.

Value Players:

3B/SS Ernie Clement, Blue Jays (DK: $2,500 | FD: $2,600)

OF Daulton Varsho, Blue Jays (DK: $3,200 | FD: $2,800)

1B Josh Bell, Diamondbacks (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,900)

2B Gleyber Torres, Yankees (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,600)

SS Anthony Volpe, Yankees (DK: $3,600 | FD: $3,100)

Notes: These players are among the top valued at their positions. Bell is my favorite among the group.
