Rougned Odor Belts Third Homer

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor belted his second homer in as many days in Saturday's victory over the Indians.

Eric Sogard Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago Cubs second baseman Eric Sogard went 3-for-4 with a run scored and three singles in Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Ty France Collects Three Hits

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France went 3-for-4 with a walk on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox to raise his slash line for the year to .320/.416/.533. He also scored three runs.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/24/21): MLB DFS Lineups

DraftKings sliced this Saturday slate almost right down the middle. We have seven early games, six prime-time games, and a small two game short slate to keep us occupied today.

Miami Marlins utility player Job Berti is expected to get regular playing time at third base while starter Brian Anderson (oblique) is on the injured list.
