DraftKings Daily picks: Fantasy baseball lineup – April 25
Second Basemen
High Salary Option
Robinson Cano ($4,200): Cano is red hot right now, with five hits and four runs scored in his last two games. And now he will get a great chance to extend that run against Jordan Zimmermann on Tuesday, whom he has reached base against in five of his six career at-bats against him. An 1.583 OPS plays in any rate.
High Value Option
Brandon Phillips ($3,200): The Braves have been down in the dumps this year, but Phillips has been riding a personal high wave, with a 10-game hitting streak that has run his average up to .343. Phillips has only faced Robert Gsellman in a single at-bat in his career, but his Braves teammates have feasted upon him to the tone of a .333 collective average. So some RBI opportunities will on hand as well.
Rank Em:
- Cano
- Daniel Murphy ($5,500)
- Brian Dozier ($5,000)
- Ben Zobrist ($3,900)
- Phillips

Shortstop
High Salary Option
Trevor Story ($5,000): It has not been the best overall start to the year for Story, but he showed some signs of breaking through on Monday, slapping a pair of hits while driving in a run as well. Coupled with the fact he has hit four home runs over his last 10 games, and the old Story could be showing himself again soon.
High Value Option
Addison Russell ($3,400): It continues to amaze me just how cheap Russell is everyday, especially considering he is the cleanup hitter on one of the most talented lineups in the game. Considering he is coming off of his first four hit performance of his career, while scoring three runs in the process, grab him at this coupon rate while you can, because his stock could be soaring soon.
Rank Em:
- Story
- Trea Turner ($5,100)
- Xander Bogaerts ($4,500)
- Aledmys Diaz ($3,900)
- Dansby Swanson ($3,100)
