• It’s Sunday Funday in Major League Baseball. That means an early start and a full slate! Yesterday we got Fernando going yard for the first time in a long time, Adolis Garcia going absolutely nuclear and with that, the A’s going out with a whimper. The Rays walked it off (again) and remain unbeaten at the trop. Elsewhere in the AL east, the Yankees and Blue Jays added a new chapter to their rivalry, which might boil over sooner rather than later. We got legends going today with DeGrom returning and Kershaw looking to follow up his 200th win with another throwback gem.

    Tonight’s Props

    Writer’s Record:

    2-2

    Athletics vs. Rangers Over 7 Runs (-115)

    DeGrom is coming back off an injury again and the A’s just love to give up runs. This number is low and that’s probably due to DeGrom, but he hasn’t looked as untouchable as in years past.

    Yankees ML @ +113

    Kevin Gausman was straight up bad his last start. The Yankees have yet to lose a series this year. They almost blew it yesterday, but in a hotly contested matchup, I’m taking the home team underdog to keep that series win streak alive.

    DFS Pillar Plays

    Hunter Greene

    Position: P

    Salary: $7,500

    Greene’s last start was ended prematurely vs. the Rays. Before that, he was putting up very respectable strikeout numbers. He routinely hits triple digits, more than any starter not named Jacob DeGrom. He may give up some runs, but his strikeout tally should make up for it. He just signed a very team-friendly contract and should be ready to go after some extra rest.

    Joey Gallo

    Position: 1B

    Salary: $4,400

    Is Joey Gallo back? His early numbers certainly indicate as much. He’s not getting a ton of run, but he is making the absolute most of his opportunities. With Patrick Corbin on the bump for the Nationals, Gallo will have a chance to add to his comeback tale.

    Luis Arraez

    Position: 2B

    Salary: $4,400

    Luis Arraez may have slowed down a bit from his early torrid performances, but given how hot he was, that was bound to happen. He’s still hitting .444 on the season and is on a 5-game hit streak. In a doubleheader yesterday, he got 2 RBI in the first game and had a 3-hit game the next. There’s no reason to jump off the bandwagon just yet.

    Adolis Garcia

    Position: OF

    Salary: $5,300

    How can you not play Adolis Garcia after last night’s performance? He had 3 HR, 8 RBI and 68 fantasy points!! Ride the hot hand and he’s still going against the A’s who can’t sink much lower at this point. He’s somehow cheaper today than he was yesterday ($5,400).

    DFS Value Plays (<$4000 Salary)

    Harold Ramirez

    Position: OF

    Salary: $3,600

    This Rays team is in a groove right now. Part of the reason is they get production all throughout the lineup. Harold Ramirez has gotten 2 hits in his last 5 games and boasts the highest batting average on the team. He’s a solid producer and you’re getting great value at this price, on a team that seemingly can’t lose at home.

    Mauricio Dubon

    Position: 2B

    Salary: $3,200

    Dubon is the leadoff man for the Astros and he’s been pretty good in that role. He’s quietly amassed a 16-game hit streak and is at a great price to fill out your roster. He’s scored a run in 5 straight and that’s due to getting on base and letting the firepower that follows him in the lineup do damage.

    Jarren Duran

    Position: OF

    Salary: $2,700

    If you want to go cheap cheap, Duran is worth a shot. He’s sitting at under 3k and before yesterday, had a hit in all 5 games since being called up. He’s already gotten 6 RBI in as many games and as long as Adam Duvall is out, he’s an intriguing option in DFS.
