PITCHER

Stud

Logan Gilbert, Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees, $9,500 — The Yankees have a good offense, but this iteration isn’t as ferocious as past teams and this game will be in Seattle. Per Statcast, T-Mobile Park is 28th in terms of Park Factor and 20th for home runs. And Gilbert has been a stud at home, posting a K-BB% of 23.9% and a 3.29 FIP in his career. Gilbert also leveled up last season, posting a strikeout rate of 32.3%, the first time over 27% in his career. In the opener, Gilbert went 5.1 innings and posted a 33.3% strikeout rate. Through three games, New York is 16th in strikeout rate at 25.9%.

Value

Max Scherzer, Toronto Blue Jays vs. Colorado Rockies, $7,800 — Scherzer is 41 years old and he was dealing with thumb issues, but that seems to be alleviated. Now, the strikeout rate has gone from 30% to 22% and the long ball has been a problem, but he still knows how to pitch. And he gets to face a Rockies team on the road that has a wRC+ of 41 through three games, 29th in all of baseball. The ISO is .101, 23rd, while the strikeout rate of 28.6% is sixth.

INFIELD

Stud

Rafael Devers, San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres, $5,600 — It’s been a rough start all around for the Giants, as the team has scored only one run in three games. Devers has done his part, going 3-for-12 with four strikeouts. He’s too good of a hitter to be held down forever, though. In his career, Devers has a 140 wRC+ with a .265 ISO against right-handed pitching. Now he gets to face German Marquez, who had a 14% strikeout rate and 5.47 FIP last season. Sure, you can make the argument that pitching in Coors Field skews the numbers, but he had a 5.23 FIP and 1.6 HR/9 on the road last season. Against lefties, Marquez had a 1.7 HR/9 and 5.81 FIP.

Value

Andres Gimenez, Toronto Blue Jays vs. Colorado Rockies, $2,900 — I wrote the upcoming section prior to Monday’s game, but I’m going to ride the wave until it ceases to exist. Gimenez has six hits in nine at-bats to start the season. He has a little pop in the bat, but he’s all about the speed, having stolen 30 bases in each of the prior two seasons. Gimenez bats at the bottom of the lineup, so that’s not ideal, but the Blue Jays are a potent offense and will likely turn the lineup over plenty, and there’s a good chance that happens often against Ryan Feltner, who has a career 19.5% strikeout rate and 10.7% K-BB%.

OUTFIELD

Stud

Ronald Acuna Jr., Atlanta Braves vs. Athletics, $5,900 — Acuna has power. Acuna has speed. The universe probably injured his legs in the past so that he wouldn’t be able to generate enough thrust to leap over tall buildings. A petty universe we live in. Anyways, in his career, Acuna has a 144 wRC+ and .235 ISO against right-handed pitching. Tuesday’s starter for the Athletics, Aaron Civale, has reverse splits with a 4.51 FIP, 1.37 HR/9 and 12.7% K-BB% against righties.

Value

Alek Thomas, Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Detroit Tigers, $2,600 — Thomas doesn’t have blazing speed or tons of power, but he can still swipe bases and hit one over the wall on occasion. The 28.3 ft/sec is in the 75th percentile while the ISO was .168 in 2024. He’s going to be in the lineup, doesn’t strike out often and will face Casey Mize, who is solid but not spectacular. Last season, the average exit velocity was 90 mph, the launch angle was 14 degrees and the barrel rate was 9.1%. The price is the biggest allure for Thomas but he’s not just a slap hitter with zero upside.
