Introduction
Last Friday’s long ball lineup fared pretty well with two homers including one from my longshot Logan Morrison. I also had three hitters exceed 25 FanDuel points with another one at 16 FD points. Monday’s 10-game MLB DFS slate has an interesting spot that you will want to pay attention to as the winds they are a-blowin’ at Wrigley Field tonight. So, be sure to get some exposure to the Rockies and Cubs as I did in today’s Swing for the Fences.
Prices included for FanDuel and DraftKings to help find where the best value may be and positions are based on FanDuel.
So with that here is who will be swinging for the fences today…

Lineup
C – Willson Contreras (CHC) (FanDuel: $3,200 / DraftKings: $3,800) – Opposing pitcher Kyle Freeland has allowed 1.61 HR/9 to righties on the road in his career while Contreras has a .373 wOBA and .236 ISO at home against lefties. Oh, and the wind is gusting out to left field.
1B – Joey Votto (CIN) (FanDuel: $4,100 / DraftKings: $4,600) – Votto has hit four homers over his last six games and his hitting .333 with two homers off Jhoulys Chacin in 16 career at-bats.
2B – Scooter Gennett (CIN) (FanDuel: $3,500 / DraftKings: $3,600) – Gennett hit two homers against his former team last season and hit over half of his 27 home runs last year at home against a righty.
SS – Addison Russell (CHC) (FanDuel: $2,400 / DraftKings: $3,300) – Russell is a cheap power-hitting SS playing in favorable weather conditions against a lefty. He has a career .220 ISO at home against lefties.
3B – Nolan Arenado (COL) (FanDuel: $4,300 / DraftKings: $5,000) – Both 3B in the Rockies/Cubs game top the list at the position with them both facing lefties with the wind blowing out. I’ll have exposure to both but will list Arenado as my “pick”.
