MLB DFS Top Hitters 4/27/24 Main Slate

1. Randy Arozarena (OF, Tampa Bay Rays)
   • Matchup: vs. Jonathan Cannon (RHP, White Sox)
   • Why Arozarena? With a .343 xwOBA against righties and the White Sox’s Cannon’s high .291 xwOBA against, Arozarena stands out as a strong play.
     
     
2. Eloy Jimenez (OF, Chicago White Sox)
   • Matchup: vs. Aaron Civale (RHP, Rays)
   • Why Jimenez? His .316 xwOBA is solid, and against Civale, who’s been decent but not untouchable, Jimenez’s power potential is enticing.
     
     
3. Aaron Judge (OF, New York Yankees)
   • Matchup: vs. Joe Ross (RHP, Brewers)
   • Why Judge? Boasting a massive .431 xwOBA and high ISO, Judge’s matchup with Ross, who has a .281 xwOBA against, could be explosive.
     
     
4. Ronald Acuna Jr. (OF, Atlanta Braves)
   • Matchup: vs. Tanner Bibee (RHP, Guardians)
   • Why Acuna Jr.? A lethal combination of power and speed, Acuna Jr.’s .447 xwOBA against right-hand pitching makes him a top pick against Bibee.
     
     
5. Juan Soto (OF, New York Yankees)
   • Matchup: vs. Joe Ross (RHP, Brewers)
   • Why Soto? His discipline at the plate and .429 xwOBA against righties set him up for success in today’s game.

Under-the-Radar Plays:

• Tommy Pham (OF, Chicago White Sox): Against Civale, Pham’s .345 xwOBA indicates he could be a sneaky source of DFS points.
  
  
• Yandy Diaz (1B, Tampa Bay Rays): With a strong .359 xwOBA and facing Cannon’s .291 xwOBA against righties, Diaz is poised to capitalize.
  
  
• Steven Kwan (OF, Cleveland Guardians): Kwan offers a high-contact rate and could benefit from Morton’s higher walk rates, despite Morton’s overall solidity.
  
  
• Kyle Schwarber (OF, Philadelphia Phillies): His power potential against Cease, who has a high strikeout rate but can be prone to home runs, could pay off.
  
  
• Byron Buxton (OF, Minnesota Twins): Facing Soriano, Buxton’s power could shine through, despite some strikeout risk.

Remember, the key to a winning DFS lineup often hinges on the perfect balance of star power and those less-heralded players who step up to the plate in favorable matchups. Today’s slate is ripe with opportunity for both, setting DFS players up for a thrilling day of baseball action.
