THIRD BASEMEN

Paying up at Third Base seems to be the play. There aren’t any value options to choose from below $3,500.

Perhaps the hottest-hitting player that can be rostered is Wilmer Difo, who is averaging 12 DKFP over his last seven games.

In a pair of games against Oakland, Alex Bregman is averaging 10.3 DKFP. He scored two runs, doubled, walked four times and has driven in a pair.

Eduardo Escobar’s home-road splits show his power is better on the road, which leads to averaging 5.9 more DKFP points on the road.

TOP TIER

Kris Bryant ($5,300), vs. Jarlin Garcia

Bryant torched the Marlins in four games this season, averaging 15 DKFP per contest. He hit .389 with three doubles, one home run, drove in four and scored four more.

Others: Eduardo Escobar ($4,500), Alex Bregman ($3,900)

VALUE

Matt Chapman ($3,700), vs. Dallas Keuchel

All four of Chapman’s hits against Keuchel have been of the extra-base variety. He is 4 for 7 with two doubles, two home runs and three RBI.

Others: Wilmer Difo ($3,500)
