Top MLB DFS Hitters – OF

Juan Soto – Juan is one of the best young hitters in the MLB. With a .295 ISO, 38% FB rate, and 43% HC against RHP. Soto also comes into this game in great recent form, and I have talked about how bad Brooks is. He will fly under the radar with so many other great options, Soto is a top GPP play.

Mookie Betts – Mookie will be leading off at Coors Field. Do I have to say any more? He does have a 44% FB and HC rate against RHP, and while he is very expensive, if punting at pitcher you need to focus on getting him in your lineup.

Ronald Acuna Jr. – The final piece to an Atlanta stack, Acuna has been smashing LHP with a .291 ISO, 37% FB rate, and 44% HC. This is another play that will be overlooked, much like Soto, and I fully expect him to take Pannone deep, homer call of the day right here.

Mark Canha – I do not love any of the value options at this position, so I will mention a solid mid-tier play in Canha. He has been red hot and has a .253 ISO, and 40% FB, and HC rates against LHP. Mike Montgomery has been decent against righties, but Canha has been so good that I will overlook Mikes numbers against RHH.
