March 31st Top MLB DFS Lineup Starters

C Adley Rutschman, Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles ($4,800 – DraftKings/3,500-Fanduel)

To start today’s top MLB DFS lineups, Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles should be on the lineups. During the loss against the Blue Jays, Rutschman went 1-4 with a strikeout. Rutschman, to start the season, had two home runs and could get on a hot streak to start the season. Fantasy players could have fun with Rutschman hitting a home run against the Red Sox.

2B Andres Gimenez, Washington Nationals at Toronto Blue Jays ($3,800 – DraftKings/3,100-Fanduel)

Andres Gimenez of the Toronto Blue Jays should also be in their lineups for today’s top MLB DFS lineups. In the win against the Orioles, Gimenez went 1-4 during the win yesterday. Gimenez has been doing well to start the season and could have a strong game for fantasy players. Fantasy players could see Gimenez have a multi-hit game for fantasy lineups and win cash prizes today.

OF Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox ($4,500 – DraftKings/3,300-Fanduel)

The last player to have for your fantasy lineups is Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins for today. In the series loss against the Cardinals, Buxton went 1-4 with an RBI and a strikeout in the losing effort. Buxton could have a bounce-back game against the White Sox and their weak pitching staff. Fantasy players should take advantage of the Twins’ hitting for today’s DFS lineups.

March 31st Top MLB DFS Benchwarmers

1B Rhys Hoskins, Kansas City Royals at Milwaukee Brewers (4,000 – DraftKings/4,100-Fanduel) 

Rhys Hoskins is the first player who should be on your top MLB DFS fantasy benches on Monday afternoon. During the loss against the Yankees, Hoskins did not play but went 1-4 in the season’s second game. Against a strong Royals pitching staff, the Brewers slugger could have a rough day for fantasy players. DFS players could see multiple strikeouts from the Brewers slugger.

OF Kerry Carpenter, Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners ($4,200 – DraftKings/3,200-Fanduel)

Kerry Carpenter of the Detroit Tigers is another player to put on Saturday evening’s top MLB DFS benches. In the loss against the Dodgers, Carpenter went 0-4 with 2 strikeouts and a walk. Carpenter has been sluggish to start the season and could have a rough time against the Mariners’ pitching staff. Fantasy players could see another hitless game from Carpenter tonight, and it could cost players money in DFS leagues.

3B Ke’Bryan Hayes, Pittsburgh Pirates at Tampa Bay Rays ($3,000-DraftKings/2,400-Fanduel) 

Ke’Bryan Hayes of the Pittsburgh Pirates is the last player to sit for today’s top MLB DFS fantasy pools. Hayes did not record an at-bat during the brutal loss against the Marlins. Hayes has been struggling for the Pirates and could have another hitless game against the Rays. Fantasy players should avoid Hayes due to the Pirates’ struggles to start the season.

Total Apex Media’s Stack Of The Day

Fantasy players for Monday’s top MLB DFS fantasy stacks should be the Philadelphia Phillies, Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, and Bryce Harper for today’s DFS stack. The Phillies have been getting hot to start the season and could continue the hot streak for fantasy DFS leagues. Schwarber could have a home run for fantasy leagues today against the Rockies’ pitching staff. The Phillies slugger could also have a multi-RBI game for fantasy players today.

There is also the fantasy players’ dream piece for Marsh, being a solid player for the Phillies. Marsh had been decent for the Phillies to kick the season off and could have a multi-hit game against the Rockies. Fantasy players should also have a chance to get Bryce Harper in the fantasy stacks today against the Rockies.

With an easy opponent today, Harper could have a multi-home run game for fantasy players. Colorado has been an embarrassment, and fantasy players should take advantage of this opportunity. With the Phillies coming off a series win, fantasy players should have this stack ready for DFS play and win cash prizes to start the new week.
