William Contreras

Mike Maher encouraged fantasy managers to take advantage of panic-induced low-cost availability of William Contreras. Contreras has started extremely slow, batting just .125 (2-for-16) entering the season, making his owners anxious. Maher combats this panic by highlighting Contreras' solid historical production and the relative scarcity of consistent, everyday catcher production. He advocates staying patient and capitalizing on other managers' overreactions by acquiring Contreras cheaply.

Bill Harrelson advises taking William Contreras under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs combined against the Yankees on MLB opening day. Contreras has been below this number in 7 of his most recent 10 games. Critically, Harrelson highlights Contreras' struggle against Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon, where Contreras is hitting just .167 with only one hit in eight career plate appearances. Additionally, sportsbook markets like DraftKings and MGM significantly favor the under, adding further assurance to this pick.
