Two weeks in a row we’re getting this matchup, but this time Boston will be the home side. Brayan Bello will be starting again, whereas Clarke Schmidt started the first game of the Sunday doubleheader instead of starting the night game again. Luis Severino will instead be starting in the primetime slot. Aaron Judge is still out as his toe injury seems to be more serious than first thought. The Red Sox are -150 favorites with the run total currently sitting at nine. The Red Sox beat the Yankees 6-2 in the first game on Sunday.
This is for the 6/18 4:10 PM PST Showdown Captain Mode.
DFS Pillar Plays
Brayan Bello
Position: P
Salary: Captain ($15,000)/Util ($10,000)
Bello is cheaper today than he was last Sunday. In his last start, a week ago, he only struck out three batters, but was able to last seven innings giving up only three hits. The Red Sox went with a bullpen game in the first game today so they may rely on Bello for some length again this week.
Justin Turner
Position: 3B
Salary: Captain ($11,700)/Util ($7,800)
JT is two days removed from having a monster day in the first game of this series. He got two home runs in that game with six RBIs. He’s seeing the ball well at the moment and is currently on an eight game hit streak. Turner got two hits in game one of the double header and got the start at first base in place of Triston Casas.
DFS Value Plays (<$5000 Salary)
Billy McKinney
Position: OF
Salary: Captain ($4,800)/Util ($3,200)
McKinney has reached base safely in every game since his call-up. He had gotten a hit in every game until game one on Sunday, but he was still able to get a walk. He is confirmed to be batting sixth for the night game and at his price, you can use that extra money to get some higher priced guys in your lineup.
Triston Casas
Position: 1B
Salary: Captain ($7,200)/Util ($4,800)
Casas got the early game off, but will be starting at first base for the night game. He’s a left-handed bat going against right-handed starter, Luis Severino. Casas had a nice game, as most Boston hitters did, on Friday with a double, a run scored and a walk. He’s got a hit in his last three games and is at a nice price for tonight.
