Top Games to Watch
Red Sox vs. Rockies

Phillies vs. Nationals
Philadelphia brings plenty of offensive upside into Washington, with stars like Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm projected near the top of the order. The projected total suggests another appealing game environment for DFS stacks.
Orioles vs. Angels
Baltimore continues to profile as one of the stronger offenses on the slate. Gunnar Henderson, Pete Alonso, Jackson Holliday, and company have plenty of upside against the projected matchup, making the Orioles one of the top tournament stacks.
Pitching Outlook
Several quality starters headline Monday’s action:
- Gerrit Cole (Yankees) offers elite strikeout upside and remains one of the safest options on the board.
- Hunter Brown (Astros) continues to generate swing-and-miss stuff and profiles as another premium DFS target.
- Kyle Bradish (Orioles) draws an Angels lineup with several strikeout-prone hitters and carries significant upside.
Team Stacks to Consider
Boston Red Sox
Playing at Coors Field always boosts offensive expectations, making Boston one of the premier stacking options of the evening.
Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore’s projected lineup combines power throughout the order and offers tournament-winning upside against Los Angeles.
Philadelphia Phillies
With multiple left-handed power bats and proven run producers, Philadelphia remains one of the safest offenses to target.
Value Bats to Watch
Keep an eye on projected lineup values once batting orders become official. Players batting near the top of the lineup often become excellent salary-saving options that allow DFS managers to pay up for elite pitching.
Weather Notes
Most games currently project to play without major weather concerns. There are a few contests showing light rain in the forecast, including Houston-Toronto and Milwaukee-Cincinnati, but no widespread postponement concerns are evident early in the day.
Final Thoughts
Monday’s slate offers a nice balance of elite pitching and explosive offenses. Coors Field projects as the premier hitting environment, while Baltimore and Philadelphia also stand out as offenses capable of producing big fantasy totals.
