Milwaukee goes for a franchise-record 14th straight win as it hosts Cincinnati, riding Christian Yelich’s red‑hot form in a tight NL Central showdown. Yelich, who has 25 homers this season and has hit safely in 10 of 12, is the marquee HR prop at +310 for Saturday, with strong value on other targets like Kyle Stowers (+575) and Junior Caminero (+430) from a model-driven banner slate. The SportsLine projections emphasize long-shot HR bets and multi-leg parlays while noting Bello, Verlander and other notable matchups that could swing the prop market.

EightPitch: Saturday MLB DFS pivots center on a Diamondbacks-heavy slate with Arizona projected to carry the day—their top-billed bats look prime against Chase Dollander in Denver, while the Diamondbacks’ hefty run total supports a powerful stack alongside midrange to budget sleepers. Sonny Gray anchors a Thursday-to-Saturday plan with a favorable Yankees matchup in STL, while a budget-friendly Jason Alexander provides a high-floor punt option in Houston. Langeliers, Perdomo, Caminero, Marte and Gurriel headline the infield and outfield cores, with Altuve and Simpson stepping in for value and speed. Houston and Oakland stacks also offer strong leverage spots in this nine-game DK/FD slate, which kicks off at 7:10 PM ET, weather-safe aside from Tigers–Twins risk.

Tampa Bay rolled to an 8-2 win over Oakland as Drew Rasmussen delivered six solid innings, ending a rough patch with six scoreless frames to start. The offense broke through early, plating four in the first and adding two in the second behind a 458-foot Brandon Lowe blast and a multi-RBI night from Junior Caminero — his 34th homer of the season. Caminero later doubled, driving in more runs to push the lead to 6-0 before the night ended. The Rays bullpen closed it out as they push to salvage a series on this 14-game, 12-game road swing, now 59-63 and within striking distance of the AL wild-card chase at 5½ games back.

The Rays seized control with an aggressive two-out rally in the first, highlighted by Lowe’s RBI double and Caminero’s run-scoring hits, then doubled the lead in the second with Lowe’s homer and timely two-out singles. Rasmussen faced little resistance until a third-inning homer by Lawrence Butler and a fifth-inning run-scoring single by Gio Urshela kept Oakland within reach for a moment, but the Rays answered by tightening the defense and letting their bullpen finish the job. Chandler Simpson and Jake Mangum set the tone with speed on the bases, and the Rays tacked on late to secure the series victory and maintain momentum heading into the weekend against the Giants.

Today’s 12-game slate turns fantasy rosters into a chess match of premium aces and value stacks. Paul Skenes benchmarks elite upside with a sub-2.00 ERA and a massive strikeout ceiling, even against Milwaukee’s righty-heavy lineup. Jack Flaherty offers a budget-friendly upside play with a high CSW and K-rate, ideal as an SP2 or value SP1. The Dodgers stitch together power and speed in a favorable matchup, while the Yankees draw a favorable turn in Tom Hatch’s priors. Mid-priced and value options populate infield and outfield, with Junior Caminero and Willson Contreras anchoring cheap stacks. Shohei Ohtani remains the top upside bat, while Ketel Marte, Yandy Díaz, Corey Seager, and Aaron Judge provide steady, high-floor options. Stacks spotlight Dodgers, Yankees, and Cardinals as prime upside groupings. ”

Ohtani’s run of big games continues to justify top DK/FD price tags, especially in Los Angeles hitting weather. Skenes carries significant slate leverage, and Flaherty’s 29.3% CSW makes him a sharp DKFD SP option under $10K. Inexpensive Cardinals and Cubs-adjacent plays offer a route to double-stacking premium arms with cheap bats. As always, monitor lineups and weather, and use the Discord room for late-breaking updates and last-minute pivots. The night’s best value is often found in the cheapest bats who can contribute multiple doubles and a homer or two in hot weather.

Rays snap a skid with a 7-4 win over Oakland at Sutter Health Park, fueled by 15 hits and a multihit showing from top to bottom. Ryan Pepiot delivered six solid frames, two hits and one run allowed before the seventh inning hiccup, and the offense busted the game open with back-to-back homers from Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero. Pete Fairbanks closed out the win for his 20th save as Tampa Bay moved within 5½ games of the AL wild-card. The Rays also benefited from a big day at the plate from newcomers Everson Pereira and Nick Fortes, who provided a spark in Pereira’s big-league debut and Fortes’ steady presence behind the plate. The club jumped on Jeffrey Springs early, chasing him after four innings, and built a 4-0 lead before the A’s rallied. Cabrera, Morel and Diaz added productive nights while Caminero reached base four times in a complete offensive showing.
