Chris Morgan encouraged DFS players to stack Yankees hitters Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, and Anthony Volpe against Brewers pitcher Aaron Civale, who saw noteworthy regression in 2024 with an elevated ERA (4.36) and increased home run susceptibility (1.62 HR/9). Civale's continually dropping groundball rate (down to 35.6%) makes him especially vulnerable to power at the Yankees’ home park. Morgan emphasized the two lefties, Bellinger and Chisholm, given their advantage over Civale (righty) and Yankee Stadium favoring hitters. He also highlighted Volpe’s considerable power-speed combination as significant DFS upside, citing his impressive counting stats from his rookie season (12 HR, 28 SB).

Chris Morgan identified Jackson Holliday as a DFS value play and excellent buy-low candidate following his poor age-20 season (.under Mendoza Line, 5 HR in 60 GP). Morgan highlighted Holliday's pedigree—being the first-overall pick—as reason to remain optimistic. He specifically mentioned facing veteran righty Chris Bassitt, who notably struggled at home with a 4.56 ERA, allowing left-handed hitters to slash .305 against him last year. Holliday's lefty bat sets him up favorably for an ideal DFS situation to exploit matchup advantages and drive value.

Chris Morgan recommended Christian Yelich as a DFS target given his strong left-handed hitting combined with Yankee Stadium's propensity to favor lefties. Yelich returned from injury issues last year to produce a robust .910 OPS, 11 HR, and 21 SB in just 73 games. Morgan specifically noted Marcus Stroman's struggles pitching for the Yankees at home, highlighted by Stroman's concerning 5.31 ERA and elevated 1.6 HR/9 rate. With Yelich healthy and suited perfectly for the Yankees' hitter-friendly park, Morgan viewed him as an attractive DFS option.

Chris Morgan labeled Matt Wallner a top DFS stacking option given his significant power against right-handed pitching (.557 SLG since 2023). Morgan broke down the matchup, highlighting Cardinals pitcher Andre Pallante's clear issues transitioning back to the rotation (3.78 ERA, 1.96 K/BB ratio) and noted that right-handers hit Pallante at a .296 clip. Morgan emphasized Wallner's left-handed power as particularly advantageous, making him ideally positioned to capitalize against Pallante's vulnerabilities in today's contest.

Chris Morgan targeted Oneil Cruz as a premier DFS bat, citing Cruz's unique power-speed blend after producing 21 homers, 22 steals, and 34 doubles in the previous season. While Morgan acknowledged Cruz's strikeout issues, he focused heavily on the favorable matchup, pinpointing pitcher Max Meyer's vulnerability in giving up longball damage (2.29 HR/9). With Meyer consistently allowing hard contact, Morgan confidently projected Cruz as an ideal hitter positioned to capitalize on this exploitable home-run prone profile.

Chris Morgan identified Andrew Heaney as a valuable DFS pitching option thanks to an exceedingly favorable matchup versus Miami. Despite Heaney's middling 4.22 ERA with Texas the past two seasons, Morgan pointed directly to the Marlins' abysmal offensive production, including a ranking of 27th in runs scored and a weak .678 OPS last season. Heaney's revenge narrative against his former brief MLB club adds a minor storyline, but Morgan's recommendation primarily hinges on Miami's continued offensive struggles as a reason Heaney is set up for success.

Chris Morgan acknowledged Robbie Ray as a high-risk, high-reward DFS pitcher, appealing especially to players willing to embrace risk. Morgan emphasized Ray's impressive strikeout potential, noting his massive 12.62 K/9 rate across limited starts last year and his career mark of 11.07 K/9, highlighting Ray's prior Cy Young success. Morgan contrasted Ray's upside with the Reds' unimpressive .693 OPS last season, presenting the Reds as a viable target for Ray to capitalize with potentially big strikeout numbers.

Chris Morgan recommended Taj Bradley as a strong DFS pitcher on FanDuel, highlighting Bradley's marked improvements during his sophomore season. Bradley maintained a strong strikeout ability with a 10.04 K/9 rate while reducing his FIP to 4.09 and notably upping his groundball rate to 42%. He specifically mentioned that Bradley added a cutter this offseason aimed at reducing home runs allowed. Morgan noted the Rockies' mediocrity in power hitting, ranking merely 15th in home runs in 2024, and considered Bradley well-positioned to leverage these improvements against an opponent whose strength is not hitting homers.
