DraftKings DFS Players
Alex Bregman - 3B, HOU vs BOS (DK - $5,200)
Bregman has two hits and six walks in the first two games of this series and will continue to help carry the Astros offense. He has .390 wOBA and a .243 ISO this season vs right-handed pitchers, along with having 22 of his 31 home runs against them.
Austin Barnes - C, LAD vs MIL (DK - $3,300)
With the performance Yasmani Grandal put on last night, he is set to be benched today, which means Barnes will get the start. The Dodgers are down a game and if you are believing they can come back, they will need some offense tonight. Barnes will be a cheaper option to get you some exposure to their lineup tonight.
Lorenzo Cain - OF, MIL @ LAD (FD - $4,500)
Cain has a .422 wOBA and a .155 ISO this season vs left-handed pitchers this season. He is up against Rich Hill, who is giving up 1.26 HR/9 to righties this season, which could present a bit of an opening for Cain and the Brewers.
Steve Pearce - 1B, BOS @ HOU (DK - $4,200)
Pearce vs left-handed pitchers is when you want to be rostering him, so tonight is this spot. He has a .407 wOBA and a .255 ISO vs lefties and will have the platoon advantage against Keuchel tonight. A Red Sox stack is always in play and he should be a key part of that.
