What calendar day do these numbers cover?

**Friday, April 3, 2026.** Points are **AthX fantasy points** from **AthX Engine** for that day—not ESPN or Yahoo scoring.

What are team fantasy points?

**AthX Engine** grades each club’s game line from the box: **+3** per win, **-1** per loss, **+2** per run scored, **-1** per run allowed. That’s the team fantasy score you see on AthX.

Are these the same numbers as share price?

No. Daily fantasy points summarize box score results under AthX rules. Share price follows [dynamic pricing](/blog/dynamic-pricing-explained) with trading volume, supply and demand, and platform rules.

Where do the stats come from?

From **AthX Engine**—the same daily fantasy totals as in-app leaderboards. For season-long context, see [how AthX MLB season projections work](/blog/how-athx-mlb-season-projections-work-2026).

Why two player tables?

Pitchers and hitters earn points on different kinds of production. The long explanation lives once in the [March 26 Top 10](/blog/athx-top-10-players-2026-03-26) post.

AthX Top Pitchers, Hitters & Team Scores (April 3, 2026)

The lead

Full Friday slate—no excuses. ESPN’s board had the whole league moving, and AthX Engine had Aaron Judge pacing every bat at 13 hitting fantasy points. Bryan Woo led the arms at 27 for Seattle. Shohei Ohtani stacked 8 hitting FP in the Dodgers’ 13–6 road win at Washington (recap). Jeffrey Springs fired 24 pitching FP in Oakland’s 11–4 win over Houston (recap). Team fantasy peaked with L.A. at 23. Brewers–Royals got rained out—makeup April 4 (scoreboard).

Hot take

Coors, comebacks, and crooked innings—Friday didn’t do “quiet.” If you only read ERA, you missed half the story. AthX Engine is where the leverage swings show up in one place.

How we ranked Friday

Pitchers and hitters on separate ladders—same split as March 26. When Ohtani only hits, he’s judged like every other bat that night.

Top team fantasy scores (April 3, 2026)

*Winning clubs — AthX Engine team fantasy points.*

Rank	Team	AthX team FP	Final	Notes
1	Los Angeles Dodgers	23	13–6 at Nationals	16 hits (box)
2	Philadelphia Phillies	22	10–1 at Rockies	Seven-run first (box)
3	Athletics	21	11–4 vs. Astros	Six-run fourth (box)
4	New York Mets	20	10–3 at Giants	Fifteen hits (box)
5	Minnesota Twins	19	10–4 vs. Rays	Seven-run seventh (box)

How to read it: Double-digit run totals for the winner spike team FP—lots of runs scored, not many allowed back.

Who popped

Dodgers (23 team FP): Ohtani and Mookie Betts lit the fuse after Washington jumped ahead; AthX Engine had them at 8 and 9 hitting FP. Phillies (22 team FP): Marsh’s first-inning homer set the tone; Aaron Nola dropped 23.33 pitching FP at Coors. Athletics (21 team FP): Butler and Muncy in a six-run fourth—Houston’s pen blinked.

Why the arm board can look “stacked” at the top

When Woo, Springs, Nola, and Valdez all land near the top, it’s usually because length, strikeouts, and damage control lined up the way AthX Engine rewards starters—different styles, same outcome: the box score loves their night.

Around the horn (April 3)

Full card Friday means you’re not stuck with one narrative. Seattle had Woo setting the tone. Oakland had Springs quieting a tough lineup. Philadelphia brought Nola to Coors and lived to tell the tale. Los Angeles (NL) had Ohtani doing Ohtani things in a 13–6 road win. Detroit had Valdez anchoring the night the Tigers needed a veteran line. And that’s before you get to the Mets, Twins, and the makeup chaos elsewhere—Friday doesn’t do “small.”

Eye test vs. AthX Engine

If you watched a game and thought “this pitcher passed the test,” scroll the pitching fantasy row—AthX Engine is the receipt. If you thought “this offense feels scary,” check the team FP column: double-digit run lines for the winner almost always spike the club score because runs move the team formula fast.
