This tool seeks the holy grail of MLB DFS: home runs. These selections are intended to provide an informed choice for a potential home run from each team, but they are not necessarily the highest-ranked player on that team. This is done for several reasons, not the least of which is to keep this writer somewhat sane by not repeating the same take on superstar hitters each day. Additionally, the analysis will consider lineup spots, pricing, and other situational factors when making selections.
