FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Noah Syndergaard - P, vs TOR ($10,000)

Syndergaard has thrown well through eight games, recording a 2-1 record, 3.09 ERA, and 1.20 WHIP. He also possesses a 1.0 HR/9 to go along with a 11.9 K/9 through five home starts. He gets a decent matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight, and Syndergaard is a -175 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Trevor Williams - P, vs CWS ($6,600)

Williams has thrown well this season, but he has struggled with strikeouts. Through eight starts, he features a 4-2 record, 3.13 ERA, and 1.17 WHIP, but he also possesses a 5.7 K/9. He gets a great matchup against the Chicago White Sox, though, who rank in the top-five on the slate in strikeouts per at-bat. Furthermore, they rank second last on the slate in team wOBA. Tonight, Williams is a -147 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Matt Adams - C/1B, vs NYY ($3,800)

Adams has cooled off recently, but he's still hitting .235 with a .647 slugging percentage and a 1.013 OPS over the last 10 days. He's also a significantly better hitter against right-handed pitching, recording 0.123 wOBA and 0.114 ISO differentials against righties. He gets a matchup against Masahiro Tanaka, which could cause him to have low ownership tonight. Adams can be used in all leagues.

Whit Merrifield - 2B, vs TB ($3,500)

Merrifield has caught fire recently, recording a .316 average over his last 10 games. He also has four extra-base hits, two RBIs, and five steals over that span. He also has six games with double digit fantasy points in those games. He gets a good matchup against Anthony Banda, and Merrifield is a better hitter against left-handed pitching. He can be considered in all leagues tonight.

Daniel Descalso - 3B, vs MIL ($2,500)

Descalso has quietly been playing well over his last 10 games. Over that span, he's hitting .321 with a .607 slugging percentage and a 1.031 OPS. He also has six extra-base hits and four RBIs in those games. Furthermore, Descalso has been a significantly better hitter at home this season. He's a cheap option that can be considered in all leagues.

Manny Machado - SS, vs PHI ($4,900)

Machado is one of very few Baltimore players to find success at home this season. Through 22 home games, he's hitting .385 with a .782 slugging percentage and a 1.277 OPS. Overall, Machado has 13 extra-base hits, 20 RBIs, and two steals at home this season. He has been a better hitter against right-handed pitching, and he gets a good matchup against Nick Pivetta. Machado isn't going to come cheap, but he's an elite option tonight.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Mookie Betts - OF, vs OAK ($5,100)

Betts has been playing at an elite level at home this season, recording a .439 average with a .951 slugging percentage and a 1.471 OPS. He also features 13 extra-base hits (four home runs), 13 RBIs, and two steals through 12 starts in Boston. He gets a great matchup against Daniel Mengden, and Betts can be used in all leagues tonight.

Mikie Mahtook - OF, vs CLE ($2,400)

Mahtook struggled early this season, but has looked outstanding since returning from Triple-A. In five games since getting called back up, Mahtook is averaging 9.9 fantasy points per game. He's also been a fairly consistent option, and he gets a great matchup against Josh Tomlin tonight. Mahtook struggles at times against right-handed pitching, but Tomlin has allowed nearly everyone to find success this season. Mahtook is a great salary relief option.
