DraftKings Cash Game Plays
These will typically be a pair of the projected higher owned players that you can play with confidence in Double Ups and 50/50 contests.
P Max Fried | DraftKings Salary $8,700 | FC Projection 17.98
You lose a couple of median projection points from Fried off of Joe Ryan but the savings you get (Ryan is $10,400) on DraftKings makes him ideal for a little bit of a spend down SP1 option Monday night. Fried take on the Mariners who sit with an implied team total at 3.29 and is coming off of stellar outing in which he recorded a complete game on the way to a 39.45 DraftKings point outing. It’s highly unlikely we see him through another nine innings Monday night but he should have the edge in this matchup with Seattle currently projected to be the lowest scoring offense on the slate.
OF Mookie Betts | DraftKings Salary $6,600 | FC Projection 11.46
Betts is our highest projected owned hitter as well as median projected as he matches up with DiamondBacks lefty Tommy Henry Monday evening. Henry is coming off of a solid game against the Cardinals but I’m willing to bet that was somewhat of an aberration as he sets up for a reality check Monday evening against this potent Dodgers lineup. Betts has recorded double digit fantasy outings in four of the Dodgers last five games and should be able to take advantage of Henry this evening.
