First Base – Peter Alonso, New York Mets – $5,300 DraftKings, $3,900 FanDuel
Alonso has burst on the scene in a big way to start his Major League career and he kept it going with a home run last night against the Tigers. Today, he gets another terrible lefty (Ryan Carpenter) and I have a strong feeling he is going to tee off again.
Second Base – Whit Merrifield, Kansas City Royals – $4,800 DraftKings, $3,900 FanDuel
I love playing Whit against a lefty, a bad one to say the least in J.A. Happ. There’s always the stolen base upside with him every single time he gets on base.
Third Base – Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Indians – $3,700 DraftKings, $3,000 FanDuel
This is simply too cheap for Jose Ramirez. I know he has been slumping this year, but he’s coming for that breakout and I want to be on the good end of it. Get him while he’s cheap.
Shortstop – Jorge Polanco, Minnesota Twins – $5,300 DraftKings, $4,400 FanDuel
I love playing Jorge Polanco against a lefty, as it always seems to work out for me. The Twins are on a complete tear right now and I wanna ride the hot hand of the guy hitting in the two hole for this steaming offense vs. Manny Banuelos.
Outfield – Nicholas Castellanos, Detroit Tigers – $3,900 DraftKings, $3,500 FanDuel
Same story with Jorge Polanco, I LOVE playing Castellanos against a lefty. What makes it even better is that Jason Vargas is a gas can. I think Castellanos hits a dinger in this one.
Salary Saver Stacks of the day;
1.) Detroit Tigers
The Tigers get Jason Vargas, who is coming off the IL. Although he had pitched decent before landing on the IL, he still a gas can and I don’t believe in him being even remotely good.
2.) New York Mets
Ryan Carpenter is completely dreadful as a pitcher and I think the Mets hang close to double digits on him and the bullpen in this one.
Spend Up Stacks;
1.) Minnesota Twins
I will ride this train till the wheels fall off. The Twins are far and away my favorite stack of the day. They are smoking hot right now and I see nothing getting in their way against Manny Banuelos.
2.) New York Yankees
Jakob Junis is terrible, let’s be honest. I love all the power the Yankees can provide in this one and I can see them getting to Junis early after getting the night off with the PPD.
