SP Kyle Harrison, Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies ($10,700)

Rolling with 24-year-old Kyle Harrison in a pitching battle against Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez ($11,600) — especially after his blowup start in Las Vegas — might seem blasphemous. But there’s a method to my madness for Sunday’s series finale at American Family Field. 

For his part, Harrison enters with an exceptional 2.72 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP in 12 starts (59.2 IP) this season. While a 3.50 xERA suggests some considerable batted-ball luck, the young southpaw wields elite swing-and-miss stuff and ranks in MLB’s 96th percentile with a 31.3% strikeout rate. The Brewers also haven’t lost with him on the mound since early April, a nine-outing stretch that includes three performances with double-digit punchouts.  

The ascendant former Giants and Red Sox hurler — shipped to Boston in the Rafael Devers blockbuster — also draws a far more favorable matchup on Sunday. While Sanchez is tasked with navigating Milwaukee’s top-five offense that refuses to strike out, Harrison gets a chance to bulldoze through a front-loaded Philadelphia lineup that sits 27th in wRC+, 28th in wOBA, and seventh in strikeout rate in 2026.

1B Paul Goldschmidt, New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays ($4,500)

In February, the Yankees — at least in the eyes of a large chunk of the fanbase — looked like they had flushed $4 million down the drain by bringing back veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt on a one-year deal. Four months later, that contract looks less like a sunk cost and more like one of the biggest bargains in baseball. And on Sunday, you can add one of MLB’s most reliable hitters to your DFS lineup for just $4,500. 

Originally retained as a bench bat, the 38-year-old infielder has gotten more runway of late, given New York’s bloated injured list — quite literally a must start. Goldschmidt has seemingly recaptured his MVP form, hitting .286 with an .878 OPS and eight home runs in 44 games. He’s hitting .350 this month and delivered a tiebreaking, two-run shot off flamethrower Louis Varland, who had yet to allow a homer this season, in the ninth inning of  Saturday’s 3–1 win over the Blue Jays. 

Goldschmidt owns a video-game-like 1.276 OPS against lefties this season, and his Hall of Fame track record forecasts another strong showing in Sunday’s rubber match in Toronto.  He’ll face struggling southpaw Patrick Corbin ($5,700), who has gotten crushed all season to the tune of a 4.55 ERA and a 5.64 xERA. The seven-time All-Star is 8-for-19 (.421) with two homers, three doubles, four walks, and three RBIs in past meetings with Corbin.

OF Dominic Canzone, Seattle Mariners at Washington Nationals ($3,400)

If there were a baseball equivalent to NBA 2K’s “Takeover Mode,” it would look a lot like Dominic Canzone over the past few weeks. The Seattle outfielder has gone deep twice in his last three games, trailing only Yordan Alvarez for the highest slugging percentage (.846) and OPS (1.275) in MLB since May 24 (min. 50 PA). During that 17-game stretch, he’s launched six homers, drove in 10 runs, and scored 11 times.

Despite struggling with chases and whiffs, the 28-year-old Canzone maintains one of the strongest batted-ball profiles in the sport. He ranks above MLB’s 90th percentile in xwOBA (93rd), xSLG (96th), average exit velocity (94th), and barrel rate (96th), among several other advanced metrics. That explains his career-high .909 OPS through 62 games in 2026. 

The lefty slugger has been a menace against right-handed pitching this season, and he’s primed to be a thorn in the side of Washington’s Miles Mikolas ($5,000) on Sunday afternoon. The veteran righty is liable for a swollen 5.90 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP in 14 appearances (six starts) this season. And a quick peek under the hood uncovers a 5.01 xERA, a .271 xBA, a 14.5% strikeout rate, and a 10.8% barrel rate — all of which rank in the league’s bottom 20 percent.
