Vinnie Pasquantino ($4,800; 32 FPTS) wasted no time putting the Royals ahead on Thursday in Detroit, as he sent the first pitch he saw into the right field seats for the three-run homer. He wasn’t done flexing, though, as he bopped a solo shot in the eighth inning to drive in four of the seven runs scored by Kansas City on the night.
Bobby Witt Jr. ($6,500; 25 FPTS) was en fuego in the month of July, slashing .489/.520/.833 with a massive .344 ISO. That translated to seven home runs, eight doubles and a triple in 100 plate appearances. Oh, he also stole two bases while striking out only 10% of the time. On the first day of August, the heater continued, as Witt Jr. finished 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored. In the Top DraftKings MLB DFS Targets, Values article, Garion Thorne had Witt Jr. as his stud infielder.
On the mound, Seth Lugo ($9,400; 23 FPTS) allowed only one earned run on four hits in eight innings. He walked one and struck out three. It’s a nice bounce back game for Lugo, as he got lit up for six earned runs in his last outing.
