The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are facing off in a series that will see them repeat their starting pitching match-up from last Saturday. The previous encounter featured Ryan Yarbrough for New York and Garrett Crochet for Boston, both of whom delivered notable performances. The Red Sox’s offense capitalized on Yarbrough, while the Yankees found success against Crochet. Given this, daily fantasy players should consider how to build their lineups around players facing these pitchers.

Despite being one of the league’s most talented players, Aaron Judge struggled in that game, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. For DFS lineups, he may not be the best investment at his high price. Conversely, Romy Gonzalez, Boston’s first baseman, has had overwhelming success against Yarbrough, boasting a 4-for-5 batting history against him.

Before finalizing DFS picks for this Friday’s games, it’s essential to review insights and projections provided by Mike McClure, a recognized Fantasy expert.

McClure’s Recommendations:

• Gunnar Henderson from the Baltimore Orioles, who is currently on a hot streak and priced at $4,700 on DraftKings and $3,100 on FanDuel. He has been hitting impressively with a batting average of .389 in June.
• Jorge Soler, outfielder for the Angels, who offers great value at $3,300 on DraftKings and $2,700 on FanDuel, showing signs of improvement.

Fans and players alike should keep an eye on the matchups and player performances leading into the games to craft winning lineups.
