Quick takeaway
Saturday, March 28, 2026 was another full slate. Michael Wacha led all pitchers at 23 AthX fantasy points. Shea Langeliers and Royce Lewis tied for the hitter lead at 10 each. 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 28, 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. Michael Wacha (Royals) — player page
2. Dylan Cease (Blue Jays)
20.33 fantasy points with a 12-strikeout night—exactly the kind of swing-and-miss profile traders notice when Blue Jays shares move.
T-3. Mitch Keller (Pirates) and Bryan Woo (Mariners)
Both at 20 fantasy points. Keller’s six scoreless frames anchored Pittsburgh’s side of an 11-inning game at Citi Field; Woo’s line stood out on the West Coast slate.
5. Joe Boyle (Rays)
17 fantasy points across six innings in St. Louis—starter workload even though the Rays eventually lost in extras.
Hitter spotlight
T-1. Shea Langeliers (Athletics) and Royce Lewis (Twins)
Both at 10 fantasy points. Langeliers’ grand slam drove the Oakland rally in Toronto; Lewis paced Minnesota’s infield production the same night.
T-3. Jorge Soler (Angels), Wilyer Abreu (Red Sox), Luis Robert Jr. (Mets)
All at 9 fantasy points. Robert’s walk-off capped a long pitchers’ duel—see Mets 4, Pirates 2 for the inning-by-inning story.
Ties, tiers, and how to read them
Wacha clears the field at 23. Behind him, 20 and 20.33 cluster tightly—normal on a 15-game day. On hitters, 9–10 fantasy points bunch fast when multiple clubs post loud lines without a single 15+ blowup. 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.
