Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel
Gavin Williams, SP - CLE ($8.8K DK/$9.0K FD)
Gavin Williams has taken a step forward and become a true front-of-the-rotation pitcher in MLB. He has been tremendous to start 2026 after a second half of 2025 where there were plenty of glimpses of this coming.
Williams, in the second half of 2025, pitched to a 3.43 xFIP, 27.6% K%, 11.7% SwStr%, 1.05 WHIP, and a 32.0% Hard Hit%. So far in 2026, he has a 3.47 xFIP, 37.3% K%, 13.0% SwStr%, 1.08 WHIP, and a 25.0% Hard Hit%. He has been one of the best pitchers in MLB this season.

There will be great hitting conditions in St. Louis, but that won't stop me from getting to Williams. It will be 80 degrees with a 15+ mph wind blowing out at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals have a 22.1% K%, .650 OPS, and a 89 wRC+ against RHP this season.
If it weren't for the weather, I would be all in on Williams tonight, but it should keep the rostership down, making him a great GPP play.
Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel
Boston Red Sox (Model Projected IRT (Implied Run Total)- 4.8) vs. Bailey Ober
I have attacked Bailey Ober in every start this year, and I will continue to until his velocity is back up. Ober has been sitting at 88-90 mph this season, which has significantly affected his production.
This season, Ober has a 5.05 xFIP, 11.9% K%, 8.0% SwStr%, and a 1.24 WHIP. The Red Sox are a team I like to target against pitchers who don't create a ton of swings and misses, and this is a perfect matchup for them. They have a .647 OPS and an 87 wRC+ against RHP this season.
This is the highest implied IRT in my model, and I love this spot for the Red Sox.
Favorite Targets: Wilyer Abreu, Willson Contreras, Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela
Top MLB DFS Hitter for DraftKings, FanDuel
Aaron Judge, OF - NYY ($6.4K DK/$4.2K FD)
Aaron Judge is my top bat of the slate tonight, and he is not cheap to get into lineups. Judge is a lefty masher, and this season is no different. He is slashing .333/.385/.833 with a 1.218 OPS and two HRs against southpaws this season. Yusei Kikuchi allowed 23 HR with a .336 wOBA and a .445 SLG to RHH last season.
