Gabriel Moreno

Tristan H. Cockcroft pinpointed Diamondbacks hitter Gabriel Moreno as an excellent streaming option in DFS against veteran RHP Carlos Carrasco. While Carrasco making the Yankees rotation is a compelling feel-good story, Cockcroft notes that his roster spot comes from team desperation rather than his merit, evidenced by a troubling 5.02 ERA and 1.40 WHIP since 2019. Cockcroft believes Moreno, along with teammates Jake McCarthy and Pavin Smith, are set up for success facing Carrasco's shaky pitching and offers a clear actionable DFS recommendation.

Brian Howard endorses Gabriel Moreno's total bases prop (+135) against Cubs pitcher Justin Steele as a strong MLB Opening Day play. Howard cites Moreno's extremely impressive hitter profile versus Steele, going 7-for-8 with three doubles, four singles, and notably zero strikeouts. Howard emphasizes Moreno's rare ability to consistently see and time Steele's pitches, significantly enhancing extra-base hit potential. Though acknowledging the small sample size (eight at-bats), Howard confidently anticipates Moreno continuing this dominance in their head-to-head matchup, labeling it one of his favorites alongside earlier touted Adley Rutschman total bases prop.
