Sam Hilliard, OF COL (Yahoo! - $9 / DK - $2,400 / FD - $2,600)
Hilliard has looked good at the dish the last two games homering in both with notching two hits in each as well. We can extend his solid play to his last 10 games, notching a .971 OPS too. He’s driven in eight runs, hit three bombs while even swiping a base. He has a great match-up against Alec Mills in Coors. Lefties have really taken advantage of Mills as they’ve posted an .830 OPS and .364 wOBA against him. Hilliard happens to have a .368 wOBA at home this year.
Jo Adell, OF LAA (Yahoo! - $9 / DK - $2,000 / FD - $2,000)
It’s only been one game and I think EVERYONE is giddy about what Adell can bring to the table. He had three hits in his debut, including two doubles, three runs batted in and a stolen base. Adell has 23 homers in 74 games at the minor league level and against lefties, he hit .323 with an OPS over 1.000. He has the split advantage facing a lefty here too.
DraftKings
Jorge Soler, OF ATL ($3,300)
Soler has been quite good recently and led to the trade to the Braves. He’s hit five home runs over his last 10 games and eight over his last 18 games. Over those 18 games, he’s slugged .683 and has notched an OPS over 1.000. Soler has hit seven homers and has a .359 wOBA against left-handed pitching this year. J.A. Happ struggles mightily with righties, allowing a .307 AVG, .940 OPS, and .397 wOBA.
Jeimer Candelario, 3B DET ($3,400)
Candelario continues to hit well, hitting in seven of his last eight games while hitting .316 over his last 10 games overall. Candelario has hit left-handed pitching well all year long batting .300 with a wOBA of .347. Eduardo RodrÃguez, although good lately, has struggled this year with righties. Righties are batting .284 with a .780 OPS and .336 wOBA off of Rodriguez this year. The Tigers could be sneaky here.
FanDuel
Jeff McNeil, 2B/3B NYM ($3,000)
How in the world is McNeil this cheap? Over his last 10 games, McNeil is hitting .343 with a 1.067 OPS. He’s really been this good for a month (21 games) hitting .342 with a .963 OPS. He hits right-handed pitching very well, batting with a .283 with a .349 wOBA to boot. Zach Thompson could be in for some regression here, considering he’s allowed a .211 BABIP to RHH.

Steven Matz, SP TOR ($30)
I do not love what the Indians have going at the dish. Over the last month, they’ve struck out a bunch, notching a 25.6% clip in that department. They’ve also ranked 23rd in OPS and wOBA and 25th in wRC+ over that same timeframe. They also rank 25th in OPS in wOBA against left-handed pitching this year. Matz isn’t someone I’m necessarily interested in for cash games, but he’s viable in tournaments for sure.
Player News
Camilo Doval struck out the side Friday in a scoreless inning of relief against Atlanta on Friday.
Doval doesn’t get a win, save or even a hold since he worked in a tie ballgame, which is disappointing. Three strikeouts and a scoreless frame to lower the ole ERA is a nice consolation prize. Doval has been fantastic in 2025, and there’s no reason to think that he’s giving up this closing gig to anyone in the San Francisco bullpen anytime soon, if ever.
Mason Miller was able to pick up a save by working 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles on Friday.
You don’t see a ton of five-out saves anymore, but Miller was able to do just that for the series-opening win against the Orioles. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out three, and he issued just a walk while not allowing any hits. Miller’s stuff is electric and few closers are better when he’s at his best, and after his struggles for the majority of May, it appears he’s turned things around for the better.
Dean Kremer was charged for five runs in 5 1/3 innings while picking up a loss to the Athletics on Friday.
Kremer was coming off an excellent start against the White Sox on Saturday, but he was nowhere close to as effective in his follow-up start. He struck out just two while allowing eight hits; giving fantasy managers an idea of how little he fooled the A’s lineup during Friday’s affair. Kremer looked good for most of June, but this was a reminder of what can go wrong when you don’t have quality swing-and-miss stuff. He’s a volatile option at best against the Tigers on Thursday.
Tyler Fitzgerald scored the game-winning run to give the Giants a 5-4 extra-inning win over Atlanta on Friday.
Matt Olson hit a two-run homer in an extra-inning loss to the Giants on Friday.
Hayden Birdsong went 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts while allowing two runs in his start against Atlanta on Friday and not factoring into the decision.
