He also holds a 0.8 HR/9 with a 10.8 K/9 through 60 innings. Stripling still comes with a relatively low price tag, but he has flashed tremendous upside in recent games.

Draft Daily - DFS Infielders
Tyler Flowers - C, vs SD ($3,100)

Albert Pujols - 1B, at OAK ($3,500)
Pujols is far from a consistent option, but he comes with tremendous upside. He owns 51% hard-hit and 40% fly ball rates over the last 15 days. Pujols also possesses a 95 mph exit velocity over that same span. He has been a better hitter against right-handed pitching, as well, and Pujols makes a high upside tournament option for a reasonable price tag.
Yoan Moncada - 2B, vs DET ($3,700)

Gallo struggled on paper recently, but his peripherals show a different story. Over the last 15 days, Gallo owns an elite 72% hard-hit rate with a 97 mph exit velocity. He's a powerful player that is always a home run threat. He also gets a solid matchup against Chad Bettis, and Gallo owns 0.05 wOBA and 0.102 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He's an elite GPP option.
Trevor Story - SS, at TEX ($4,900)
Story has been playing at an elite level over his last 10 games, posting a .390 average with nine extra-base hits (three home runs) and 11 RBIs.
