Fantasy pickup of the day

Megill should be rostered in all leagues after he struck out six Nationals without issuing a walk across five shutout innings in his 2022 debut.

The outfielder logged a 1.027 OPS against lefties last season and should have plenty of success against Orioles left-handed starter Bruce Zimmermann (career 5.30 ERA, 1.47 WHIP).

Adrian Houser (SP, MIL, $36)
Houser can be considered part of a Brewers stack that can include McCutchen, Hunter Renfroe and Willy Adames. The right-handed…
