Andy Smith identifies Garrett Crochet as a top DFS pitching play. Crochet had an outstanding first two starts of the season (1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP in 13 innings) but suffered a modest performance in his last start. He is expected to rebound significantly against the White Sox, who enter the game with the seventh-lowest wRC+ and the 13th-highest strikeout rate against left-handers. Smith believes Crochet is an ideal DFS play who can exploit Chicago's offensive vulnerabilities.

Andy Smith emphasizes the Astros as a prime DFS stacking opportunity on today's slate, facing Kyle Hendricks. Despite Hendricks' superficially good start (just two runs allowed in two starts), his low 35.5% ground-ball rate and troubling underlying metrics (including a 5.92 ERA last season) indicate impending regression. Astros hitters, particularly Yordan Alvarez and Isaac Paredes, match up favorably against Hendricks' pitch repertoire and bolster Houston's DFS appeal.

Andy Smith highlights the Nationals as an attractive DFS stack against Miami's Cal Quantrill. Quantrill had one concerning performance earlier in the season, allowing eight hits and six runs versus the Mets, despite his recent shutout innings. His xERA (4.98) and high hard-hit percentage (56.7%) suggest significant vulnerability. Nationals bats, including Nathaniel Lowe and James Wood, could exploit Quantrill's pitching flaws, providing strong upside for DFS lineups.

Andy Smith recommends Nathaniel Lowe as an ideal DFS value play, highlighting his ability to thrive against right-handed fastballs. Lowe faces Cal Quantrill, whose fastball has been highly hittable with a .740 xSLG this season. Lowe specifically has excelled at hitting fastballs from righties, posting a stellar 1.072 xSLG and 60.0% hard-hit rate. Expect Lowe to leverage this matchup into strong DFS value.

Andy Smith recommends Hunter Greene as a strong DFS pitching option on Sunday based on his recent dominance. Greene has opened his campaign with a stellar 1.31 ERA and 0.63 WHIP over 20 2/3 innings while striking out 23 batters against just three walks. He benefits from a favorable matchup against the Pirates, who have one of the league's higher strikeout rates (11th highest) and among the weakest power outputs (sixth-lowest ISO) against right-handed pitchers this season. Considering Greene's strikeout ability and the Pirates' offensive struggles, Smith expects a robust DFS payoff.
