Quick takeaway
Friday, March 27, 2026 was another busy night on the calendar. Shea Langeliers paced all hitters at 12 AthX fantasy points (two homers in the box score). Kevin Gausman led pitchers at 26. This post uses two tables, five arms and five bats, so you are not mixing roles on the same ladder.

How we built these leaderboards
We ranked pitchers (positions SP, RP, P) and hitters (everyone else) separately against daily_player_stats for March 27, 2026, then took the top five in each group. Not a rest-of-season projection. For trading context, see dynamic pricing and understanding dividends.
Why we publish separate pitcher and hitter tables is explained once in the March 26 Top 10 post.

Pitcher spotlight
1. Kevin Gausman (Blue Jays)
26 fantasy points from six innings, eleven strikeouts, one run on one hit. That line set the tone for pitchers on the card. Player page.
2. Cam Schlittler (Yankees)
24.33 fantasy points in 5.1 innings, eight strikeouts, no earned runs. Shorter than a full six, still loud.
3. Sandy Alcantara (Marlins)
24 fantasy points with seven innings and five strikeouts. The workload stands out.
4. Chris Sale (Braves)
22 fantasy points, six shutout innings, six punchouts, three hits.
5. George Kirby (Mariners)
20 fantasy points with six innings, six strikeouts, one earned run.
Hitter spotlight
1. Shea Langeliers (Athletics)
12 fantasy points with two homers, two RBI, and two runs. He led all hitters Friday.
T-2. Josh Lowe (Angels) and T-2. Mike Trout (Angels)
Both at nine fantasy points. Lowe’s line included a homer, three RBI, and a double; Trout added a homer and multi-hit work the same night.
T-4. Mookie Betts (Dodgers) and T-4. Zach Neto (Angels)
Both at eight fantasy points. Betts drove in three on a homer; Neto added a homer, double, and two runs.
Ties, tiers, and how to read them
Gausman clears the pitcher field. The mid-20s cluster behind him is tight. On hitters, nine and eight fantasy points bunch fast, which is normal when a dozen lineups post useful but not huge lines. Pitcher and hitter tables stay separate so those clusters do not get confused.
What this means if you use AthX
Daily fantasy points tell you who won the box score under AthX Engine rules for one night. They do not replace season projections, and they do not predict the next session’s price. They do help you line up what you watched with what the platform stored.
If you trade shares, treat this as context, then layer dynamic pricing and your own read on matchups and health.
