We’ve analyzed all the available data, including each player’s performance against their respective pitcher matchups, DK projections, and DK salaries. Here are our top two picks for high-priced hitters, mid-priced hitters, and low-priced value hitters.
High-Priced Hitters:
Matt Olson – ATL ($5200, 1B)
Olson has a DK rating of 95.19 and a DK projection of 10.32, making him one of the top first basemen available on Monday’s slate. Olson has been on fire against right-handers with high flyball rates, like the Texas Rangers’ Shane Greene, against whom he has a slugging percentage of .666 in his last 335 plate appearances over the last two seasons. With an A-rated DK Proj Tier and a B-rated DK Value Tier, Olson is a must-have for DFS players looking for a high-value pick.
Nate Lowe – TEX ($4600, 1B)
Our next top play is Nate Lowe of the Texas Rangers. Lowe has a DK rating of 62.54 and a DK projection of 9.48, making him a B-rated pick for Wednesday’s slate. Lowe has struggled to start the season, but he has the potential to break out at any moment. He is a solid value pick for DFS players looking to save salary at the first base position
Mid-Priced Hitters:
Ryan Mountcastle – BAL ($4300, 1B)
Mountcastle is coming off a 9 RBI night and has a DK rating of 89.66 and a DK projection of 10.41, making him a solid pick for DFS players looking to add some value to their lineups. In addition, Mountcastle has a great matchup against left-hander Josh Waldichuk, against whom he has a .303 batting average (10-for-33) over the last two seasons. Waldichuk relies heavily on the fastball, which Mountcastle has shown he can handle. With an A-rated DK Proj Tier and Value Tier, Mountcastle is a smart pick for Monday’s slate.
