Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images | Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The New York Yankees are traveling out to the Bay Area to take the first pitch of this MLB season against the San Francisco Giants tonight, March 25. With a big game comes a big opportunity, and so, for fun or for profit, we can play the fantasy baseball/DFS slate .
Below, we provide the "perfect" fantasy baseball lineup for tonight's showdown contests of the Yankees-Giants primetime affair. MVP - Willy Adames - $15,300 (FanDuel) | $12,000 (DraftKings) Adames will be less owned than Aaron Judge tonight. In fact, outside of Judge, the ownership of MVPs shall be distributed.
We attack with Adames as a right-handed batter against a left-handed pitcher. Fried, though great, has let Adames hit . 333, all hits (3) being extra-base hits in 9 career at-bats.
We also search for home-run and extra-base-hit potential for multiplied scoring, and Adames is a 25-30 home-run hitter, despite playing in Oracle Park, which has a poor ballpark factor for hitters. UTIL - Aaron Judge - $15,000 (FanDuel) | $10,000 (DraftKings) Can you really skip out on Judge? No, you cannot - especially in a projected low-scoring matchup with two elite pitchers in a tough ballpark.
