Morgan suggested pairing Jonathan Aranda ($4,100), Yandy Diaz ($3,800) and Chandler Simpson ($3,500) against Cal Quantrill, who sits on a 7.00 ERA with Miami and a 5.32 mark the past three seasons while letting fellow righties torch him for a .417 average. Aranda is barreling everything (.321 AVG, six HR). Diaz brings bankable OBP (.369 career) and already owns six homers and eight doubles. Simpson offers elite wheels—nine steals in 25 MLB games and 73 in Double-A last year—giving the stack power, on-base skills and stolen-base upside. Morgan expects Tampa’s contact-oriented core to chase Quantrill early and feast on Miami’s bottom-five bullpen.

Morgan expects Tampa’s contact-oriented core to chase Quantrill early and feast on Miami’s bottom-five bullpen.

Morgan built a Fenway stack of Alex Bregman ($5,400), Jarren Duran ($5,100) and Wilyer Abreu ($4,600) to attack Spencer Schwellenbach. The rookie righty owns a 4.86 road ERA, 1.6 HR/9 and a 24.2% line-drive rate—metrics that tend to get punished by Fenway’s short porch. Bregman is thriving in Boston with a .309/.391/.580 slash and 11 homers. Duran supplies table-setting speed (five triples, 12 steals) and an .859 OPS vs righties over the last three years. Abreu, sheltered from lefties, is riding a .983 OPS over the past three weeks and carries an .875 mark versus right-handed pitching overall. Morgan anticipates two-to-three combined extra-base hits and double-digit DK points from the trio.

Morgan reminded readers that Jung popped 23 homers as a rookie and already owns seven bombs and six doubles in just 37 games this season. At $3,600 he gets Ryan Gusto, who has a 4.80 ERA and allows righties to hit .261. Given Globe Life’s power-friendly dimensions and Houston’s taxed bullpen, Morgan expects Jung’s hard-hit rate (47%) to translate into extra-base upside at a salary that feels at least $1K too low.

Morgan pinpointed Carpenter ($4,500) as a bargain bat because the Detroit slugger owns a .515 career SLG (.554 last three seasons) against right-handed pitching. He now faces Jose Berrios, who is sitting on a 4.97 FIP and 1.56 HR/9 in 2025. Morgan notes Comerica’s new shortened fences and Berrios’ declining four-seamer velocity as reasons Carpenter could leave the yard at a sub-$5K salary.

Morgan compared Crow-Armstrong to a discount Kyle Tucker for DFS purposes: 12 homers, 14 steals and platoon success versus righties. At $5,000 he draws Jonathan Cannon, whose 3.60 ERA masks a .271 average allowed to left-handed bats. Morgan projects multiple chances for PCA to swipe a bag or take Cannon deep in a crosstown Wrigley wind game.

Morgan called Jose Ramirez a cornerstone spend at $5,600 after a three-game homer streak pushed him to nine long balls and 12 steals. Ramirez owns a 1.000+ OPS versus lefties since 2023 and missed a 40/40 season by one homer last year. He now faces Andrew Abbott, whose career marks (3.61 ERA, 1.43 HR/9) suggest the lefty’s early-season K spike is smoke and mirrors. Morgan expects Ramirez’s switch-hit power to play big in Great American Ball Park.

Although Morgan believes Rea’s 2.48 ERA won’t stick, he still recommends the $7,200 right-hander because even a 4.29 ERA version suffices against the White Sox, who sit last in OPS and just 28th in runs. Rea’s cutter/curve mix held opponents to a .214 average so far, and with the South Siders striking out 24.9% of the time, Morgan expects Rea to pay off as a salary saver that lets gamers jam in premium bats.

Morgan endorsed Mick Abel at $8,000 in his MLB debut, pointing to the prospect’s 2.53 ERA across eight Triple-A starts and the cushy assignment against a Pirates offense battling Colorado for worst in baseball. The Phillies have protected Abel with a full bullpen behind him, and Pittsburgh’s league-worst .286 OBP gives him a strong chance to qualify for the win while piling up punch-outs with his plus fastball/slider combo.

Chris Morgan said Liberatore is an $8,100 DraftKings play because the converted reliever has carried a 3.11 ERA and sparkling 2.30 FIP through eight starts and historically keeps the ball in the park. That dovetails with a dream matchup against a Royals lineup that ranks dead-last in home runs, eliminating Liberatore’s lone fantasy risk. Morgan likes him as a mid-tier arm who should deliver strikeouts and six clean innings at spacious Kauffman Stadium.

Morgan called Josh Lowe ($3.3k) a priority in his Rays stack. Although Lowe just returned from the IL, he owns back-to-back seasons of 20+ HR and 25+ SB. He now faces Cal Quantrill, whose K/BB is projected under 2.0 for the third straight season and whose FIP again sits north of 5.00, leaving ample room for barrels and stolen-base attempts.

In his Cubs/White Sox stack, Morgan highlighted Kyle Tucker ($4.3k) as the centerpiece. Tucker has already logged 10 homers and 12 steals while slugging .536 versus right-handed pitching since 2023. He’ll take aim at Jonathan Cannon, who sports a 4.30 FIP and a 5.00 career road ERA.

Morgan tagged Rhys Hoskins ($2.9k) as a cheap power play, reminding readers that he still popped 26 HR in a ‘down’ 2024. Hoskins owns a .389 OBP this year and gets to face rookie Zebby Matthews, who posts a 6.69 ERA over nine big-league starts despite solid Triple-A numbers.

Morgan pegged Gunnar Henderson ($3.2k) as a bargain bat, citing six homers, two triples and three steals despite Baltimore’s struggles. Henderson carries an OPS north of .900 both at home and versus right-handers, while Michael Soroka brings a 6.43 ERA this year and a 5.36 mark across the last three seasons.

Morgan likes Riley Greene as a mid-tier bat at $3.4k after the outfielder put up a 1.133 OPS and eight of his 11 home runs over the past three weeks. He’ll see Jose Berrios, who owns a 5.65 ERA at Rogers Centre and has allowed a .277 batting average to left-handed hitters this season.

Morgan spotlighted Elly De La Cruz at $3.8k, pointing to eight home runs and 15 steals already after last year’s 25/67 breakout. He likes the matchup with Luis L. Ortiz, whose career 4.55 FIP and 7.29 road ERA with Cleveland have made him one of the more attackable righties on the slate.

Morgan called Shane Baz a ‘dice roll’ worth taking at $8.8k. Although Baz owns a 5.02 ERA, his 4.33 FIP and 9.63 K/9 hint at better skills, and his ugly stat line is inflated by a 6.03 ERA in Tampa’s new park versus a stellar 2.31 mark on the road. Miami’s lineup sits just below league-average, setting up a cheap path to double-digit strikeouts in a pitcher-friendly environment.

Morgan recommended Matthew Liberatore at $9.1k, calling him a late-bloomer who has finally arrived with a 3.11 season ERA and a sparkling 2.12 mark across his last five outings. He loves the matchup because Kansas City ranks bottom-six in runs and dead-last in home runs, giving the left-hander both strikeout upside and strong win equity.

Chris Morgan said Freddy Peralta is worth the $9.7k spend on FanDuel because he owns a 2.66 ERA and a 9.24 K/9 through nine starts and gets a Minnesota lineup that is red-hot but still only league-average in overall production. Morgan noted the Twins are ‘not the 1927 Yankees’ and believes Peralta’s strikeout ceiling can pay off even if the volatile Milwaukee offense fails to secure the win bonus.

Morgan’s Rays stack starts with Josh Lowe at $3,300. Although Lowe just came off the IL, Morgan cites the outfielder’s 10-HR/25-SB campaign last year and 20-HR/32-SB explosion in 2023 as evidence of upside. He faces Cal Quantrill, who is on pace for a sub-2.00 K/BB ratio and an FIP north of 5.00 for a second straight season while giving up more homers per nine than he did in Colorado. Morgan loves Lowe’s ability to take advantage of all that contact, projecting both power and stolen-base paths to value.

Morgan built a Wrigley Field mini-stack around Kyle Tucker versus White Sox righty Jonathan Cannon. Tucker sits on 10 homers and 12 steals, owning a .536 slugging percentage against right-handed pitching since 2023. Cannon enters with a 3.60 ERA but a worrisome 4.30 FIP and a 5.00 career road ERA, numbers Morgan believes will regress in the hitter-friendly afternoon conditions at Wrigley. Tucker’s $4,300 salary is justified by his across-the-board ceiling in this spot.

Hoskins checks in at $2,900 despite a .389 OBP, five homers, and two steals so far this season after launching 26 bombs in 2024. Morgan loves the matchup against Zebby Matthews, who is making his first big-league start and was torched for a 6.69 ERA in nine MLB outings last year. The combination of salary relief, proven power, and an overmatched rookie pitcher makes Hoskins a prime value first baseman.

At just $3,200, Gunnar Henderson makes Morgan’s bargain list thanks to a .900+ OPS against right-handers and at Camden Yards. The Orioles shortstop faces Michael Soroka, who sports a 6.43 ERA this year and a 5.36 mark over the past three seasons. Henderson’s blend of six homers, two triples, and three steals has Morgan projecting a points-per-dollar smash spot.

The Orioles shortstop faces Michael Soroka, who sports a 6.43 ERA this year and a 5.36 mark over the past three seasons. Henderson’s blend of six homers, two triples, and three steals has Morgan projecting a points-per-dollar smash spot.

Morgan suggested riding Riley Greene’s hot streak—1.133 OPS over the last three weeks with eight of his 11 homers in that span. Jose Berrios has struggled at Rogers Centre (5.65 home ERA) and is allowing a .277 average to left-handed bats this season. Greene’s $3,400 tag provides mid-tier power at a friendly park against a pitcher who can’t keep the ball in the yard at home.

Morgan locked Elly De La Cruz into his core hitter pool, pointing to the shortstop’s eight homers and 15 steals already in 2025. He’ll face Luis L. Ortiz, owner of a career 4.55 FIP and a brutal 7.29 road ERA in his first season with Cleveland. With the stolen-base upside and a suspect right-hander on the mound, Morgan views EDLC as a ceiling play worth the $3,800 salary in all contest types.

Calling it a “roll of the dice,” Morgan still likes Shane Baz at $8,800 for GPP builds. Baz’s surface numbers look rough (5.02 ERA), but his 4.33 FIP and 9.63 K/9 suggest better days ahead. Crucially, Baz has been night-and-day home vs. road: 6.03 ERA in Tampa’s new park versus 2.31 on the road. Sunday’s start comes in pitcher-friendly Miami against a Marlins offense Morgan labels slightly below league average. He sees the matchup and split as the perfect recipe for a ceiling game at suppressed ownership.

Morgan highlighted Matthew Liberatore as a strong SP2 pivot at $9,100. The 25-year-old lefty sports a 3.11 season ERA and has been even better over his last five outings (2.12 ERA). Kansas City ranks bottom-six in runs and dead last in home runs, a profile Morgan says plays perfectly into Liberatore’s skill set. Given that run environment and the southpaw’s improved command, Morgan expects solid innings volume with strikeout upside at a sub-$10K salary.

Chris Morgan slotted Freddy Peralta in as his top-priced arm on Sunday’s FanDuel slate, noting that Minnesota’s lineup remains "middling" despite its recent hot streak. Peralta owns a sparkling 2.66 ERA through nine starts and is still striking out hitters at a 9.24 K/9 clip—a figure Morgan points out is actually low compared to the right-hander’s career norms. With the Twins nowhere near the 1927 Yankees offensively and Peralta’s swing-and-miss stuff fully intact, Morgan expects plenty of DFS scoring even if a win bonus isn’t guaranteed.

At just $3,100, Jeremy Pena made Morgan’s core plays thanks to a resurgent bat atop Houston’s lineup. Pena already has seven doubles, six steals, and five homers, and for the first time carries an OPS north of .800 against right-handers. Rookie Chase Petty, rushed into the rotation after Hunter Greene hit the IL, surrendered nine runs in 2.1 innings during his debut, and Morgan doubts the youngster will suddenly figure it out in Minute Maid Park. The matchup plus new leadoff role give Pena both floor and ceiling.

Morgan recommended building Nationals stacks around CJ Abrams ($3,300) with Luis Garcia ($3,000) and Jacob Young ($2,300) against Miles Mikolas. Mikolas continues to let bats make contact, posting a 4.76 ERA with walks up to 3.18/9 and only 4.76 K/9. Lefties are batting .313 against him in 2025 and .286 dating back to 2023. Abrams has shaken off an early injury to slash .299 with four homers, two triples, and eight steals in just 27 games, while Garcia has three homers and six steals and hits .293/.456 at home over the past two seasons. Young offers cheap stolen-base upside (five already after 33 last year). Morgan expects the trio’s speed and contact skills to exploit Mikolas’s pitch-to-contact approach and generate multi-run upside at reasonable salaries.

For GPP players hunting cheap power, Morgan suggested Matt Mervis at $2,700. Although the lefty is hitting below the Mendoza Line, he sports a .449 slugging percentage and seven homers. That profile matches perfectly against Sean Burke, who carries a career 5.02 FIP and has yielded 1.83 HR/9 this season despite limiting lefties to a .194 average. Morgan likes the odds that one of Mervis’s hard-hit fly balls leaves the yard and pays off the salary.

Fresh off a five-times-on-base game, TJ Friedl owns a .360 OBP along with three homers and eight steals, and Morgan likes him at $2,700. He faces Ronel Blanco, whose shiny 2024 ERA (2.80) masked a 4.14 FIP; in 2025 that FIP has ballooned to 4.91, right in line with his 4.66 career mark. Morgan expects plenty of table-setting and stolen-base opportunities for Friedl against a pitcher due for continued regression.

Morgan called Harrison Bader a sneaky $2,700 option. Bader’s four homers and four steals already surpass last year’s pace, and he is batting .289 with an OPS above .800 both at Target Field and against righties. Rookie Landen Roupp’s move to the rotation has been rough: fastball velocity down 1.4 MPH, ERA up to 4.89, and right-handed hitters are batting .305. Morgan likes Bader’s mix of pop and speed to punish Roupp’s diminished stuff.

Morgan highlighted Ozzie Albies at a bargain $2,900, reminding readers that second base is usually a wasteland and Albies still offers five homers and five steals in 2025. He draws Carmen Mlodzinski, a former reliever struggling mightily as a starter with a 6.16 ERA across seven outings. Morgan expects the Braves’ switch-hitter to take advantage of the mismatch and provide salary relief without sacrificing upside in Atlanta stacks.

Morgan labeled Bobby Witt Jr. the slate’s premier spend-up bat at $4,200. Witt is slashing .323 with five homers, 17 doubles, and 14 steals, and since the start of 2023 he has a .904 OPS versus right-handers that jumps to .994 at Kauffman Stadium. He now faces Lucas Giolito, whose 5.11 FIP in 2023 and 4.86 mark through two post-injury starts suggest the righty remains hittable. Morgan expects Witt’s combination of power, speed, and elite home splits to torch Giolito and anchor Royal stacks.

Morgan called Reese Olson a tournament gem at $9,000. The righty owns a 2.92 FIP through the first quarter of 2025, mirroring last year’s 3.16 mark, so the underlying skills look legit. He gets a dream matchup against a Rangers lineup that sits bottom-three in runs scored, a stark fall-off from last season’s World Series run. With Tarik Skubal hogging most of Detroit’s spotlight, Morgan believes Olson will be overlooked and can provide ace-level production at mid-tier ownership.

Morgan endorsed Pablo Lopez at $9,700, noting that everything is finally clicking for the right-hander: a 7.40 K/BB ratio, a 2.18 ERA, and the same elite homer suppression that has long been part of his profile. While San Francisco’s offense is slightly above average, Morgan trusts Lopez’s Cy Young–caliber form and expects another quality start with plenty of strikeouts, making him a strong single-entry play for those who want similar upside to Sale at a slight discount.

Chris Morgan recommended paying the $10,400 premium for Chris Sale on Sunday’s FanDuel slate, pointing out that the 36-year-old southpaw has quieted early-season concerns by allowing no more than two runs in each of his last three outings and racking up 10 strikeouts in both of the past two. The matchup sweetens the deal: outside of Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz, Pittsburgh’s bats have been dreadful and currently rank dead last in MLB in runs scored. Against that punch-less lineup, Morgan expects Sale’s recent swing-and-miss spike to continue and labels him a top cash-game anchor.

Morgan recommended stacking Ben Rice ($3,500), Cody Bellinger ($3,000) and Anthony Volpe ($2,800) against Taj Bradley. Bradley’s ERA sits at 4.58 with strikeouts down, walks up and 2.5 HR/9 allowed on the road. Yankee Stadium’s short porch boosts lefties like Rice (slugging .559, eight homers) and Bellinger (three homers, three steals despite a slow start), while Bradley has let right-handers hit .279 in 2025, giving Volpe (five homers, four steals—all homers at home) path to upside.

For a contrarian stack, Morgan suggested Bobby Witt ($4,000), Vinnie Pasquantino ($3,000) and Drew Waters ($2,500) versus Kyle Gibson. The 37-year-old righty owns a career 4.55 ERA and was torched for nine runs (five homers) in 3.2 innings during his lone 2025 appearance. Witt is batting .302 with three homers and nine steals, Pasquantino posted 19 homers and 97 RBI last year and already has five long balls, while Waters brings speed (16 SB in 2023) and logged an .877 OPS in Triple-A. Morgan believes even Kansas City’s slumping lineup can erupt in this spot.

At only $2,300, Daniel Schneemann made Morgan’s cut after blasting two homers (one a grand slam) on Saturday. The 27-year-old owns an .846 Triple-A OPS and now meets Bowden Francis, who sports a 7.29 FIP and 1.73 HR/9 in the majors. Morgan argued that even a Quad-A bat can excel when the opposing pitcher is this shaky.

Morgan slotted JJ Bleday ($2,800) into his bargain bin. Bleday sports a .737 OPS over the last three weeks with four homers and seven doubles, while Edward Cabrera brings a 4.66 career FIP, 1.94 K/BB ratio, and a .302 average allowed to left-handed hitters this season. Morgan expects Oakland’s lefty to keep the mini power surge going in Miami.

Morgan labeled Trea Turner a bargain at $3,000. Turner is batting .303 with six steals and carries an .897 OPS at Citizens Bank Park since arriving in Philadelphia. He draws Eduardo Rodriguez, who is coughing up 1.65 HR/9 this year, creating cheap power/speed upside for DFS lineups.

Morgan targeted Jarren Duran at $3,800, pointing to the outfielder’s four triples and 11 steals despite muted power. He expects Duran to exploit Chris Paddack, who hasn’t posted an ERA under 4.00 since 2019 and has surrendered a .283 average to left-handed bats the past two seasons.

Morgan pegged Logan Evans ($7,500) as an appealing salary saver. The rookie posted a 2.11 FIP in five Triple-A starts and allowed only two hits across five innings in his MLB debut versus Miami. He now faces a Texas offense that has been out-performed only by Colorado and Kansas City in run production, giving Evans sneaky strikeout and win equity while the Mariners wait for injured starters to return.

Morgan framed Lance McCullers as a GPP dart at $7,700. Although the righty hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2022 World Series, he tossed four and five scoreless innings in his last two Triple-A rehab starts. The White Sox rank bottom-eight in both runs and OPS, so even a limited 5-to-6 inning workload could generate value if McCullers’ stuff is close to form.

Chris Morgan highlighted Garrett Crochet as the slate’s safest high-end arm. The left-hander owns a 2.60 FIP that mirrors last year’s 2.68 mark and continues to strike out hitters at a double-digit per-nine clip. Morgan called the matchup ideal, noting Minnesota still hovers near the bottom-10 in runs scored, giving DFS managers the classic "top-tier pitcher vs bottom-tier offense" setup at $10,700 on FanDuel.

Chris Morgan slotted Ozzie Albies ($3,400) into his Braves stack, noting four homers and three steals already after an injury-marred 2024. Albies historically crushes lefties but still managed an .803 OPS versus righties in 2023, a mark that should climb in Denver’s thin air. Any Colorado right-hander projects poorly, giving Albies multi-category appeal at a middling salary.

Morgan rounded out the Coors stack with Michael Harris ($3,300). The former Rookie of the Year has cleared 15 homers and double-digit steals in each of his first three MLB seasons and already has three bombs with five bags in 2025. Injuries limited him to 110 games last year, but the power/speed skills remain intact. Facing Ryan Feltner—or any Rockies replacement—inside hitter-friendly Coors, Morgan sees Harris as a high-ceiling complement to Ozuna and Albies.

Morgan headlined Marcell Ozuna ($4,300) as the cornerstone of his Braves stack at altitude. Ozuna is the one Atlanta hitter who has been locked in all season, pacing for a third straight year over a .500 slugging percentage and carrying a .550 SLG against right-handed pitching since 2023. With either Ryan Feltner (back issue) or another below-average Rockies righty on the hill, Morgan expects Coors to amplify Ozuna’s already elite hard-hit profile for tournament-winning upside.
