CATCHERS

There seems to be a good mix of high-end and value players at catcher for Monday’s slate.

Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto ($4,200) is, arguably, the best hitter in Miami’s lineup and has faired better on the road, where all four of his home runs have come.

Jonathan Lucroy ($3,000) is 3 for 8 with one double and two RBI in two games this season against the Astros. He has hit five doubles in his last four games and has a pair of 17-DKFP performances in his last six.

A punt play is whoever the Cardinals will start at catcher. With Yadier Molina out, a cheap option is Francisco Pena ($2,800) or Carson Kelly ($2,500). With Pena catching 14 innings on Sunday night, Kelly seems probable.

TOP TIER

Buster Posey ($3,800), vs. Zach Eflin

Posey is swinging the bat well with three-straight multi-hit games and is averaging 13 DKFP in his last five games. The Giants have hit Eflin at a .341 clip, though Posey is just 1 for 5. He should at least have opportunities to drive in runs.

Others: J.T. Realmuto ($4,200)

VALUE

James McCann ($3,300), vs. Matt Moore

McCann has faired well against southpaws this season, hitting them at a .444 clip in 18 at-bats. That includes two of his three home runs this season.

Others: Evan Gattis ($3,100), Jonathan Lucroy ($3,000)
