June’s new week will start with amazing MLB DFS fantasy pools, and you can win plenty of cash prizes this Monday night.
June 17th MLB DFS Best Starts
1B Pete Alonso, New York Mets at Texas Rangers ($5,000 – DraftKings)
A start for your weekday MLB DFS pool tonight should be The New York Mets, Pete Alonso. In the win against the Padres, Alonso went 2-5 with a three-run home run on Sunday afternoon. The Mets slugger needed that game after struggling for the past few games.
While fantasy players could still be cautious of Alonso, he could do well against the Texas Rangers pitching staff. Right now fantasy players should start the polar bear.
OF Jackson Merrill, San Diego Padres at Philadelphia Phillies ($3,600 – DraftKings)
Another start for today’s daily fantasy pools is the San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill. In the loss against the Mets on Sunday Merrill went 1-4 driving in a run. The young growing star this weekend did well with two home runs during the weekend series.
While the Padres are struggling, the young outfielder could have another strong game tonight. Fantasy players should watch Jackson Merrill before his price increases for Daily fantasy pools.
OF Riley Greene, Detroit Tigers at Atlanta Braves ($5,000 – DraftKings)
The last MLB DFS start for your fantasy teams is the Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene. Greene in the loss against the Astros went 0-4 on Sunday. While yesterday’s game was slow, Riley Greene is a solid hitter for the Tigers offense this season with a .252 batting average.
Today could be a great game for the Tigers outfielder against a sluggish Braves team. Riley Greene could help fantasy players in their Daily Fantasy pools.
June 17th MLB DFS Sits
2B Bryson Stott, San Diego Padres at Philadelphia Phillies ($4,800 – DraftKings)
One of today’s benching for your MLB DFS weekday is the Phillies Bryson Stott. In the loss against the Baltimore Orioles, Stott went 0-5 with a strikeout. The Phillies’ second baseman is playing poorly right now for the Phillies and could cost your fantasy pools.
While the Padres are struggling, the pitching is still solid. Bryson Stott would need to have a good game but for now, sit him.
SS Orlando Arcia, San Diego Padres at New York Mets ($3,300 – DraftKings)
Another sit for Monday’s MLB DFS is the Atlanta Braves shortstop, Orlando Arica. Arica in the loss against the Tampa Bay Rays, went 0-3 with two strikeouts. While his season started went well, Arcia is struggling right now.
This could be a while for Orlando Arica to get hot and needs to be benched. While he could come back tonight against the Tigers, the statistics show otherwise.
OF Adolis Garcia, New York Mets at Texas Rangers ($5,200 – DraftKings)
The last benching for your MLB fantasy pool games is the Texas Rangers, Adolis Garcia. Garcia in the loss against the Seattle Mariners went 0-3 on Sunday. Adolis is now struggling for the Rangers with a weak .216 batting average while providing power.
While the power of Garcia is there, he could struggle against the red-hot Mets. There could be a chance, that Adolis Garcia’s struggles could cost you, so players need to bench him.
June 17th MLB DFS Best Stack
To start this MLB DFS stack tonight, players should have Pete Alonso, J.D. Martinez, and Francisco Lindor against the Rangers. With the Mets having the hot hand right now, they could bring in cash prizes tonight. While the Rangers are the reigning world champions, they have regressed this season.
Right now the power of Alonso, Lindor, and Martinez could lead the Mets and your fantasy pools to a win. There could be a chance that J.D. could have a monster night for your fantasy teams. If you need an MLB DFS win tonight, the New York Mets hitters could help.
These games will have a lot of MLB DFS action to keep this week going and more to come on Total Apex Fantasy.
