• ⚾ LineStar’s 2026 MLB DFS Primer & Strategy Guide ⚾

The new MLB season has arrived! The 2026 campaign gets underway with an Opening Night showdown between the Yankees and Giants, a light appetizer before Thursday’s full Opening Day slate and the six-month grind that follows.

Before things really get rolling, we’ve got a single-game showdown slate to work with on Wednesday night. Below is a cheat sheet with some quick thoughts on top captain/MVP options and FLEX plays. As always with early-season MLB, expect a bit more volatility than usual, so keep that in mind with your bankroll approach.

Also, if you missed it, LineStar’s 2026 MLB DFS Primer & Strategy Guide is linked at the top of this newsletter – it is meant to serve either as an introduction to the sport, from a DFS perspective, or just as an all-around refresher for returning DFS vets.

Let’s get into tonight’s showdown. Best of luck!
