Erik Halterman outlined Dylan Moore as a priority waiver add due to Ryan Bliss' significant biceps injury, which will sideline him for 4-5 months. Moore struggled with average historically (.208 career) but has enticing counting-stat upside, averaging 19 home runs and 37 stolen bases per 600 plate appearances when prorated. His immense positional versatility, eligible already at 2B, 3B, SS, and OF in NFBC leagues and nearly everywhere else in formats like Yahoo, further increases his value. Halterman particularly recommends targeting Moore if you have a locked-in DH like Shohei Ohtani, because Moore's versatility solves positional flexibility issues.

DataSkrive emphasized Dylan Moore's strong start as an indication he's poised for continued success against the struggling Astros pitching staff, particularly Framber Valdez. Moore holds a scorching .381 batting average with a robust .480 OBP and .667 slugging percentage early in the season. He has a good platoon matchup against left-handed pitcher Valdez (who allowed five earned runs in his recent start). Moore should be considered a high-upside play for DFS lineups and a solid option in betting props markets in this ideal positional matchup.

Bill Harrelson offers Dylan Moore under 0.5 total bases as a strong bonus pick for opening day versus the Oakland Athletics. Moore has notably struggled against Oakland historically, going under this total in 8 of 12 encounters, including all recent matchups last season. Overall, Moore has gone under this number in 8 of his last 10 games and in 14 of his last 20 contests. Additionally, sportsbooks such as Caesars, DraftKings, and BetMGM heavily favor the under at significant odds, suggesting immediate line movement and strong betting value.
