Top MLB DFS Hitters

Mike Moustakas –  “Big Moose” is destroying the ball lately. Hitting five long balls in his last four games. Kelly has been giving up a good bit of home runs lately, and has a massive 46% HC rate to LHH. Moose is hitting 47% FB, 44% HC, and a .275 ISO to RHP. You can’t beat the price tag for the upside he brings.

Eduardo Escobar – I mentioned how the Diamondbacks will be a decent team to stack, and Escobar is the best hitter on the team against RHP. I won’t go over Lyles and his numbers to lefties again, but Eduardo has a 45% FB rate, and a .240 ISO against RHP. If stacking Arizona, Escobar should be involved in your stack.

Justin Turner – This is my favorite third basemen on the day, and this price is a complete joke. Turner comes into this match-up in good recent form, and is known for destroying LHP. With a .262 ISO, 50% FB rate, and 57% HC against them he is almost a lock to take Paxton deep at least once, if not twice. Lock him in and do not look back.
