FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Jose Quintana: CHC @ MIA

The 30-year-old left-hander is coming off an impressive performance against the Pirates in his last start as he threw seven shutout innings while striking out 11 and walking just one. He is averaging over 14 strikeouts per nine innings and has a fairly favorable matchup against the Marlins, who rank 12th in the NL in batting average and has struck out the third most times among NL squads.

Nick Margevicius: SDP vs. COL ($7,700)

The 22-year-old rookie has shown tremendous command and control in his three starts. While Margevicius has not struck out a lot of hitters, however, his 12-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio is impressive as is his league-leading 0.625 WHIP. He also forces a lot of ground balls.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Josh Bell: 1B PIT @ DET  ($3,500)

Bell has seemingly put his 2018 disappointing season behind him as he has registered a .333 BABIP along with a 1.017 OPS, 165 OPS+ and .314 ISO. He also has really hit well at Comerica Park in his career.

Dee Gordon: 2B, SEA vs. CLE ($3,200)

Gordon has gotten off to a solid start to the season with a .308/.329/. 400 slashing line. The 31-year-0ld has already registered seven stolen bases and is hitting .345 when making contact, which .041 points higher than last season.

Josh Donaldson: 3B, ATL vs. ARI ($3,800)

The 33-year-old is starting to round into form after a slow start. He is slashing .384/.515/.807  with two home runs and five doubles to go along with eight runs scored over his last seven games. He also has enjoyed playing at Sun Trust Park this year compiling a .324 average and two home runs in 43 at-bats.

Jean Segura: SS, PHI vs. NYM ($3,400)

The 29-year-old has been one of the best hitting shortstops over the past three seasons and is extremely fast. While the Mets trot out left-hander Steven Matz, who has pitched well this season, Segura has fared well against lefties over the past three years. He posted a slash line of .313/.361/.442 as well as a .350 wOBA against left-handers in 2o18.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Randal Grichuk: TOR @ MIN ($2,600)

Grichuck seems to be breaking out of his early-season funk as he enters the game against the Twins on a four-game hitting streak, which includes going 3-for-4 with two doubles in Monday's win over the Twins. The 27-year-old has collected nine of his 14 hits on the season over his last eight appearances to raise his average from .190 to .230. Nine of his 14 hits has been for extra bases (three home runs, six doubles) and he has scored 11 runs in 17 games overall.

Wil Myers: SDP vs. COL ($2,900)

The 28-year-old, who was limited to just 83 games last season, is off to a nice start to the season. He is hitting for power -- his 123 OPS+ is a career-high -- while also stealing a couple of bases.  Myers also has fared well against the Rockies Jon Gray in his career, posting a .346/.379/.577 slash line in 26 at-bats.

Leury Garcia: CWS vs. KAN ($2,800)

Garcia is a cheap play who could pay big dividends as the White Sox have a good matchup against Jorge Lopez. The  28-year-old has been swinging the bat well this season and is a threat to steal a base. He also has a recent history of success against Royals' pitchers. Additionally, Garcia has hit well at U.S. Cellular Park over the past three seasons, posting slashing lines of .284/.311/.443.
