If you’re looking for fantasy baseball advice ahead of Sunday’s slate, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking at potential lineups to stack, home run props, or a pitcher to anchor your lineups, here’s our fantasy baseball advice for Sunday’s slate.
Why You Should Stack the Chicago White Sox on Sunday’s Fantasy Baseball Slate
If you think the phrase “the White Sox have a strong matchup offensively” is a bit odd, you shouldn’t be surprised: This is an offense that has consistently ranked among the worst in the majors in recent years. However, they also rank 11th in OPS so far this season, and facing a struggling pitcher in Logan Gilbert could probably lead to a favorable outcome for this lineup.
In terms of which players to stack, you should find a way to stack Munetaka Murakami (15 HR, .922 OPS) at all costs, but he’s not the only hitter worth considering. Miguel Vargas went deep twice in Saturday’s win and is up to 9 homers and an .840 OPS. Colson Montgomery has 10 long balls, 28 RBI, and an .827 OPS. And there’s also Sam Antonacci, who has a .390 OBP and could be a decent low-cost addition to the slate.
Why Munetaka Murakami Is a Solid Bet for Home Run Props
We’re staying with the White Sox since Murakami is also a strong option if you’re aiming to plan any home run prop bets. The star slugger has 15 home runs and a .922 OPS, so he’s been an elite hitter so far in his first year facing big-league pitching.
He has a favorable matchup against the Seattle Mariners, as Gilbert is coming off allowing 4 solo homers in his last start against the Atlanta Braves on Monday. Murakami should be in line for a productive outing against a pitcher who’s posted a career-worst 1.6 HR/9 so far in 2026, in addition to owning a 4.30 ERA.
Why Jose Soriano Is a Strong DFS Target for Sunday
If you’re also looking for a decent value-based option in DFS formats, you shouldn’t overlook Soriano, even if he’s entering regression territory. Even though Soriano still has a 1.74 ERA across 8 starts this season, there are some alarming signs, mainly the fact that he’s given up 4 long balls over his past 2 starts.
Soriano is probably not going to return to the dominance levels he enjoyed in his first 6 outings of the campaign, and he has allowed 8 earned runs in 9 innings over his last 2 contests. But he’ll be facing an underwhelming Toronto Blue Jays offense that has a below-average .701 OPS entering Sunday’s slate. If Soriano wants to deliver a bounce-back performance, this is the time to do so.
