Jared Contestabile 
DFS Hitting Picks and Stacks for Saturday
First Base – Eric Hosmer, San Diego Padres
DraftKings $4,100
Going up against Dakota Hudson in this one is a dream DFS matchup. A pitcher who can’t get lefties out against a left-handed bat who is hot at the plate? I’ll take that all day in DFS.
Second Base – Ketel Marte, Arizona Diamondbacks
DraftKings $5,200
Ketel Marte has been the hottest hitter in baseball over the last couple weeks. Against lefties he is batting .327 with only 12 strikeouts. I’ll ride the hot hand in DFS.
Shortstop – Alex Bregman, Houston Astros
DraftKings $5,100
In his career at Houston against lefties Bregman is a .296 hitter and he’s continuing that trend this season. He also does not strike out against lefties very much so with the ball most likely being put in play, I’ll take my chances in DFS.
Third Base – Anthony Rendon, Washington Nationals
DraftKings $5,200
Anthony Rendon is always a prime DFS play against a lefty. He gets a horrid pitcher in Soto, I’m all in here.
Outfield – Ronald Acuna Jr., Atlanta Braves
DraftKings $5,300
So far in Acuna’s young career he has been exceptional against left-handed pitchers (.308 BA). Matz tends to be on his game or horrible, I’ll lean with the latter and take Acuna
Outfield – Chad Pinder, Oakland Athletics
DraftKings $3,400
Chad Pinder is always worth a DFS look against an average lefty. So far this season he is batting .286 with five home runs against southpaws.
DFS Stacks for Saturday
1.) Washington Nationals
I am an avid Gregory Soto stacker. Every time this man pitches it’s an easy DFS stack and load em’ up situation for me. He is carrying a 4.50 ERA at home and a .350 BAA against righties. As mentioned above, Anthony Rendon is a smash play. I also love Juan Soto and Victor Robles in this one. I think the Nationals get to Soto early and run him out of Detroit.
2.) Houston Astros
Yusei Kikuchi has not been what the Mariners were predicting he would be thus far. His strikeout numbers are depleted and that hurts him because this Astros team just does not strike out. He’s going to be in store for a very rough afternoon.
