Logan Gilbert anchors a volatile 11-game MLB slate, with clear upside on DraftKings and FanDuel as Seattle pushes for the AL West. Andrew Abbott offers a primo pay-down spot in a favorable lefty matchup against a struggling Cardinals offense, while Geraldo Perdomo leads a near-minimum Arizona stack with strong baseline numbers and recent power against right-handers. Yandy Díaz lures exposure in a juicy one-off spot against Jose Berrios, Sal Stewart brings salary relief with multi-sport upside, and Jackson Chourio and Julio Rodríguez provide high-ceiling outfield/SLG raw power in solid spots. Coors-field considerations and weather risk loom for Miami and Arizona stacks, but the slate still rewards patient lineups with a few clear value anchors.

Stack-heavy angles center on Arizona, Milwaukee, and Miami, each with favorable opposing arms and park effects. The value tier leans on Stewart and Heriberto Hernandez as pay-downs, while premium bets around Chourio, Rodríguez, and Gilbert anchor most optimal builds. Monitor late-injuries and rain risk in Seattle–Kansas City, and pivot if delays threaten innings. This slate rewards balance: stable core arms, selective long-shot stacks, and a few underpriced bats with hot recent forms.

Texas Rangers enter their final 11 regular-season games with five regulars sidelined and a tight return window. Bochy is balancing urgency with a practical rehab timeline as Mahle, Semien, Seager, Coulombe and Haggerty chase time on the field. Mahle’s four scoreless rehab innings keep him in rotation talk, Semien and Seager progress toward returns, Coulombe nears activation, and Haggerty’s ankle issue lingers. A critical series with Houston intensifies the fantasy stakes as roster depth and late-season pivots shape the playoff push.

Padres face a pivotal 2026 free-agent decision with Luis Arraez, a high-average leadoff threat acquired from Miami, entering the market. Arraez’s value hinges on batting average and on-base skills, but his power is limited and playoff performance will weigh heavily on any deal. San Diego must balance market price, years, and the window to win as they weigh re-signing Arraez against other roster moves, including Dylan Cease and Ryan O’Hearn.

The question isn’t just cost but fit: can Arraez anchor the lineup while preserving flexibility for a pitching staff that aims to contend with the Dodgers and others? A favorable AAV/term could keep the top of the order sharp; a steep price or long commitment could push the Padres toward a broader upgrade in the lineup and rotation.
