Altuve was a big success and we will look to keep the slugger rolling tonight. I’m going with Matt Carpenter of the Cardinals with a fantastic matchup tonight against Wily Peralta. Carpenter is starting to come into form, having a 4-5 performance last game. His numbers are very impressive against Wily Peralta, batting 16-35 against him with 7 RBI’s and 3 HR’s. This game has a high total of 9, predicting that the Cardinals should be able to light up Peralta tonight at the friendly hitting Milwaukee ballpark. I expect Carpenter to be leading the crew in scoring seeing as he is leading off for the Cards and will be getting around the bases. Expect Carpenter to score a couple runs and get an extra base hit for you tonight. Lock him in at a very affordable price of $3,500.

Same idea today as Donaldson, only this time it’s with Altuve. He is priced under $4,000 due to his recent slump, but he is too good of a hitter to be this cheap. Especially, against an inexperienced lefty in Arizona. Arizona is a great hitters ballpark and the o/u is 9. Altuve is coming off of a 4-6 performance leaving his recent slump behind. Altuve will be coming into this one fresh, trying to pick up a slacking Astros team. Expect Altuve to be overlooked today, but produce great numbers for you. He will be all over the bases today and will score you a couple runs. Lock him in at a very affordable price today.

Last night was unreal with Donaldson, as he put up 57 fantasy points. That’s a number you usually only see for NBA FanDuel! Lets stay hot and roll with Nomar Mazara tonight against Nicasio of the Pirates. Mazara has been very hot as of late and has an average on the year in the .320’s. His name is becoming very well-known this season and looks to be a valuable asset for the Rangers team for years to come. The ball should be carrying tonight at a hot Arlington Park with an o/u of 8.5. Mazara provides good power in the middle of that Rangers lineup and look for him to do some damage tonight.

Donaldson with a massive night, helping cash in all of my lineups! Stay tuned later on today for the slugger of the day for the night games!

Tonight I’m going with a guy who has dropped in price dramatically due to his recent slump. I’m rolling with the reigning MVP in Josh Donaldson. I feel that he will be lower owned than he should be tonight because he has been cold but, tonight is the perfect opportunity to break out of this spell and really show us what he is capable of. He draws a fantastic matchup at home against Joe Kelly of the Red Sox. There are a couple of reasons why I like Donaldson tonight. First and foremost, he is 9-17 off Kelly with a home-run and 6 RBI’s. Secondly, he is extremely cheap for his superstar ability. Thirdly, he is facing a very competitive Red Sox team which is in their division, so his competitive drive will be there. Lastly, he’s at home. The fans will be supportive and Toronto is an excellent ballpark to hit in. Confidently lock Donaldson in tonight, taking advantage of his cheap price tag.

Pujols came up big yesterday with a 2 run home-run at only 5% owned. Lets keep this slugger hot and role with Mookie Betts of the Boston Red Sox. Mookie has been unbelievable as of late and is posed for a big game tonight with a great matchup against Jorge De La Rosa at Fenway Park who is coming right off of the DL. De La Rosa had command issues on his rehab assignment in AAA and those command issues will most likely continue considering the fact that he is going to be pitching at arguably the hardest ballparks to pitch at from a mental standpoint and a field dimension standpoint. I expect the Red Sox to knock De La Rosa all over the place tonight and Mookie will most likely be the center of attention to all of it. He will most likely get 5 at-bats tonight from the lead off spot. Betts is 16 for his last 44 (.364) spanning over10 games, including doubles in 4 straight games with 3 home-runs mixed into those games as well. Expect Mookie to be all over the bases tonight.

There are plenty of good plays out there tonight, but I’m going to give you a guy who has been under the radar in DFS and will most likely be low owned tonight. I’m picking Albert Pujols of the Angels tonight, drawing a favorable matchup against Derek Holland. I’m trying to stay somewhat cheap as well considering that Kershaw is a must-play every time he’s out on the mound. This game has an o/u of 9.5, which is tied for the highest total on tonight’s slate. Now I know Pujols doesn’t have the best batting avgerage so far this year but he has been hot as of late and the power and production is still there with 8 bombs and 28 RBI’s on the year. He’s batting 13-38 (.342) in his last 10 games. Pujols has been a lefty masher his whole career and is batting 8-28 off Holland with 3 doubles and 3 homeruns. 6 out of the 8 hits being extra-base hits tells me that he hits Holland hard and 28 at-bats is more than a sample size and proves that Pujols is always locked in when Holland is on the mound. Expect Pujols to be under 10% owned tonight and provide an extra-base hit or two for you.

Today I am going to pick on one of the wort pitchers in the MLB so far this season. I’m picking on Alfredo Simon of the Reds. How am I picking on him? By picking the best hitter he’s facing and one of the best players in baseball, Robinson Cano. This is one of my favorite matchups this season considering you possibly have the worst pitcher in baseball pitching against one of the best hitters in baseball. Not to mention the fact that this matchup is happening at Great American Ballpark, which is one of the best hitting ballparks behind Coors field. Cano hasn’t been too hot as of late but expect things to turn for the better today with him. Cano will certainly be on-base and I expect at least 10 FanDuel points out of him today.

My last slugger, Corey Seager got a couple hits but unfortunately had no runs or rbi’s to back that up. Tonight, I’m rolling with a guy who is in the run for best SS in the league in Francisco Lindor. Normally, with the year Lindor is having, he would be an easy candidate for the all-star game. However, Correa and Bogaerts are having a huge start to the season which seems to take away the attention on Lindor. I have been a huge fan of Lindor since he got in the league and I’m picking him while he’s hot. He’s 15 for his last 46 which is just about a .333 average. He’s facing a very inexperienced pitcher, Tim Adleman, and I expect Lindor to take full advantage of him. Don’t be surprised if Lindor puts up his FOURTH straight 3 hit game….

Other than Lorenzo Cain (who hits 3 home-runs the night AFTER I pick him) the guru slugger has been hot with recent performances of Odor (24.9 points), Ryan Braun (30.9 points), Yelich (15.2 points), and Josh Reddick last night getting a solid 12.2 points. Tonight I am rolling with the big dog Giancarlo Stanton. Stanton always has a ceiling of 2 home-runs and I think he could do that tonight against Chase Anderson of the Brewers. Anderson has been terrible and Stanton is batting 4 – 11 off him with a home-run. In my mind, Stanton should always be priced around $5,000 just because he is a threat to homer off of anyone at any park. His price tag being at $4,400 really makes me want him and is why he is my #sluggeroftheday . Enjoy!
