When building your MLB DFS lineup for Thursday’s slate, it’s important to consider the top individual hitters who can provide the most value. Here are some of the best picks based on their matchups and recent performance.
Christian Yelich (Milwaukee Brewers, OF) – DK Salary: $5,400
Yelich will face off against Connor Seabold and the Colorado Rockies. Yelich has shown success against right-handers with low strikeout rates, like Seabold, over the last two seasons, boasting a wOBA of .376 in his last 304 plate appearances. Pitchers with similar repertoires to Seabold have struggled against the Brewers, posting an ERA of 4.88 over the past year12. Yelich has been inconsistent this season but has the potential to make an impact and provide value in DFS lineups.
Rowdy Tellez (Milwaukee Brewers, 1B) – DK Salary: $5,000
Tellez, also facing Seabold and the Rockies, has excelled against right-handers with high flyball rates, similar to Seabold, over the past two seasons. He has a slugging percentage of .549 in his last 206 plate appearances in such matchups. Similar to Yelich, Tellez benefits from the favorable matchup against Seabold, who struggles against the Brewers. Tellez has the power to generate points and can be a valuable asset in DFS lineups34.
Jesse Winker (Milwaukee Brewers, OF) – DK Salary: $3,700
Winker will also be taking on Seabold and the Rockies. He has performed well against right-handers with low strikeout rates, like Seabold, over the last two seasons, slugging .578 in his last 196 plate appearances. Seabold’s repertoire is similar to other pitchers who have struggled against the Brewers, giving Winker an opportunity to capitalize on the matchup. With his power and ability to produce, Winker can be a solid addition to DFS lineups56.
