Here is a look at the Squad Up daily MLB fantasy picture for the eight-game slate beginning at 3:05 p.m. EST, Monday, April 3:

Hitter Stacks

• Philadelphia Phillies at Cincinnati Reds (RHP Scott Feldman): The Phillies ranked 29th in team wOBA against right-handed pitching last season, but they brought in left-handed hitting OF Michael Saunders this offseason. He bolsters the lineup below OF Odubel Herrera, who had a personal wOBA of .359 against righties. Feldman allowed lefty hitters to post a .377 wOBA last season.

• Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres (RHP Jhoulys Chacin): The Dodgers ranked sixth in team wOBA against righties last season at .331. Their wRC+ of 109 ranked second to the Boston Red Sox at 113. Chacin has allowed lefties to post a hard-contact rate of 32.1 percent and pull the ball 42.0 percent of batted balls for his career.

3-player stack: OF Andrew Toles (43K), SS Corey Seager (56K), 1B Adrian Gonzalez (52K)

• Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners (RHP Felix Hernandez): The top third of the Astros' batting order comes rather cheap. 3B Alex Bregman and 2B Jose Altuve fared better against right-handed pitching last season, while OF George Springer had a .336 wOBA and 112 wRC+ of his own against righties. Hernandez allowed righty hitters to slug .379 with a .310 wOBA.

Pitcher Breakdown

• TARGET - LHP Danny Duffy (83K), Royals (at Twins): The Twins had the fourth-highest strikeout rate against left-handed pitching last season at 24.3 percent. Duffy posted a career-best 9.42 K/9 in 179 2/3 innings split between the rotation and bullpen. Duffy pitched significantly better on the road last season, where he held opponents to a .225/.287/.417 slash line.

• BARGAIN - RHP Kendall Graveman (30K), Athletics (vs. Angels): Graveman comes 16K cheaper than any other pitcher on the slate with 138K separating him from the highest priced option (see below). His upside is limited by his career-low 5.23 K/9 last season and the Angels league-best 16.4 percent strikeout rate against righties, but he'll return plenty of value with a quality start and a win.

• FADE - LHP Clayton Kershaw (168K), Dodgers (vs. Padres): Kershaw will have the highest upside anytime he's set to pitch but anything less than his absolute best will be disastrous at his debilitating salary. He comes at a salary 64K higher than any other pitcher. Only two hitters have a salary of at least 64K. April has routinely been his worst month with a career ERA of 3.06.

• CONTRARIAN - LHP Dallas Keuchel (76K), Astros (vs. Mariners): The Mariners had a middle-of-the-pack offense against left-handed pitching last season with a wOBA of .323 and a wRC+ of 105. Their team strikeout rate of 21.7 percent ranked 16th. Keuchel had a disastrous 2016 season, marred by a 4.80 first-half ERA. He improved dramatically in the second half, when he held opponents to a .286 wOBA.

Bargain Plays

• OF Norichika Aoki (30K), Astros (vs. Mariners): Aoki is expected to be buried at the ninth spot in the Astros batting order to begin the season, tempering his potential. He opens his 2017 season against the team with which he played his 2016 season and posted a .346 wOBA and 121 wRC+ against right-handed pitching. His slugging percentage was 170 points higher against righties than it was against lefties last season.

• C Tucker Barnhart (35K), Reds (vs. Phillies): The switch-hitting Barnhart slashed .271/.344/.400 with a .318 wOBA against right-handed pitching last season. Phillies RHP Jeremy Hellickson allowed lefties to post a .325 wOBA last season. Barnhart should be able to overcome his spot at eighth in the batting order to return to value at a reasonable salary.

• 1B Wil Myers (31K), Padres (at Dodgers): As will be the case for much of the season, the Padres will rely entirely on Myers for any offense they hope to muster up against Kershaw. He'll frequently be able to return value without much help from his teammates for runs or RBIs and at a very reasonable salary of 31K, the star remains trustworthy.

Top Fades

• 1B Miguel Cabrera (62K), Tigers (at White Sox): Cabrera had fairly extreme reverse splits last season. He hit for a lower batting average and slugging percentage while striking out more often against left-handed pitching in 2016. He has a higher career average against righties, but he has struck out less often against righties. He'll face one of the league's best in LHP Jose Quintana in the season opener.

• 2B Jonathan Schoop (46K), Orioles (vs. Blue Jays): Schoop begins the year at eighth in the batting order against the Blue Jays and RHP Marco Estrada. He actually struck out less often against righties than he did against lefties last season, but his BB/K ratio remained the same thanks to a lower walk rate. He does have more power against righties, but his run and RBI opportunities are capped.

• 1B Chris Davis (65K), Orioles (vs. Blue Jays): Owners will be faced with the dilemma of having to choose between Davis and 3B Manny Machado (65K) for much of the season. Even in a reverse split Machado performed better against righty pitching last season. He'll be hitting one spot above Davis in the order, offering the opportunity for an additional plate appearance.

Contrarian Plays

• OF Joc Pederson (57K), Dodgers (vs. Padres): Pederson is expected to open the season hitting in the bottom third of the Dodgers order as they alternate left- and right-handed hitters. Pederson had the 16th-highest slugging percentage against right-handed pitching among qualified hitters last season.

• 1B Brandon Moss (58K), Royals (at Twins): Moss had the second-highest fly ball rate of all hitters with at least 200 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers last season. Target Field in Minnesota ranked as the 16th-most home-friendly park last season.

• C Brian McCann (40K), Astros (vs. Mariners): Felix Hernandez's struggles against lefties were noted above, and they apply again to McCann. He's expected to hit sixth in the order in his Astros debut. McCann slashed .249/.340/.430 against righties last season with a .334 wOBA and 108 wRC+. His K-rate was substantially lower than it was against lefties.
