Joc Pederson, LOS @ MIL – FD $3,700 DK $4,300
The Dodgers got “upset” in a sense on Monday night by the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers were able to beat Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, which is especially astounding because the Brewers are the worst team in the majors. The bright side for the Dodgers was Joc Pederson. Pederson went 1-for-4 with a solo shot, which has upped his fantasy value. Pederson is a great play tonight against the Brew Crew.

Josh Reddick, OAK @ MIN – FD $3,900 DK $5,100
The Oakland Athletics have a great matchup against one of the worst pitching teams in all of baseball in the Minnesota Twins. On top of that, Josh Reddick has been on absolute fire. He has a hit in his last 10 games, and his lowest point total on FanDuel over that span is 2.5. Reddick has a great matchup tonight, and he should be in your lineup because of his consistency and long-ball ability.
George Springer, TEX @ HOU – FD $3,900 DK $5,100
The Texas Rangers are a major disappointment thus far this season, and conversely, the Houston Astros are one of the biggest surprises as they are one of best teams in the league. Houston’s hitters have a great matchup this entire series because the Rangers rank 21st in pitching. George Springer only had 2.25 FanDuel points on Monday, but I look for him to have a big game on Tuesday and Wednesday because of the matchup.
Alex Gordon, CLE @ KAN – FD $3,100 DK $4,500
The Kansas City Royals rank 4th on offense, and the Cleveland Indians pitching staff ranks 27th. This is a beautiful matchup for daily fantasy players because of the horrible pitching. The only negative thing is that Lorenzo Cain is serving his second game of a two game suspension on Tuesday, so that will deduct some production from the Royals. So Alex Gordon is going to have to step up big time, and I think that he will. Gordon went 5-for-11 in his last series against the Indians, so I look for Gordon to repeat that success today through Thursday,
Jacoby Ellsbury, NYY @ TOR – FD $4,400 DK $5,400
The Yankees also have a great matchup, like the Royals, against horrible pitching. The Toronto Blue Jays rank dead last in overall pitching, so I look for all Yankees players to have major success this series, especially Jacoby Ellsbury. Ellsbury only went 1-for-4 on Monday night, but I still love this matchup because of how Ellsbury has been hitting.
Other Players to Consider:
Brett Gardner, NYY @ TOR – FD $3,800 DK $5,000
Denard Span, MIA @ WAS- FD $3,400 DK $4,300
Jacob Marisnick, TEX @ HOU – FD $3,300 DK $4,200
