MLB DFS Main Slate Core Plays & Top Stacks (April 25)
Tonight’s MLB main slate features several elite bats worth building around, but winning lineups often come down to pairing stars with the right value pieces.
We reviewed the slate using projections, pricing, lineup context, and roster construction strategy. Here are the hitters standing out for DraftKings and FanDuel tonight.
DraftKings Core Plays
Shohei Ohtani
One of the highest-upside hitters on the slate with home run power, run production, and tournament-winning ceiling.
Aaron Judge
Always a top threat to lead the slate in fantasy scoring. Elite power upside in any matchup.
Bobby Witt Jr.
Power + speed profile gives multiple paths to a ceiling performance.
Value Bat:
Matt McLain
Affordable salary relief with upside if hitting near the top of the lineup.
FanDuel Core Plays
Shohei Ohtani
Premium upside at a very playable FanDuel salary.
Aaron Judge
One swing can change the slate. Top raw power ceiling.
Bobby Witt Jr.
Dynamic all-around upside with run, RBI, homer, and stolen base potential.
Value Bat:
Will Smith
Affordable access to one of tonight’s top offenses with strong RBI potential.
Tournament Build Strategy
A sharp approach tonight is combining two elite bats with one upside mid-tier option, then using a value piece to unlock roster flexibility.
Examples:
- Ohtani + Judge + McLain
- Judge + Witt + Will Smith
- Ohtani + Witt + stack value pieces
Be sure to monitor confirmed lineups before lock.
