Home Run by Cardinals' Pagés Rewards 12 Bettors with $83,334 in Bonus Bets
The St. Louis Cardinals series-opening 11-4 win over the Detroit Tigers Monday night turned out to be significant for a number of reasons. The Cardinals not only proved they could compete with the owners of MLB's best record, but thanks to Pedro Pagés two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, 12 lucky DraftKings bettors walked away with $83,334 in bonus bets. Beginning May 2, DraftKings Sports book has been running a 'King of the Diamond' promotion on select days, allowing participants to earn a share of $1 Million in bonus bets. Advertisement Those who opt-in, select anywhere from one to five players to hit a home run. If that player hits a home run and their team is the highest scoring team in the majors that night, participants win a share of the $1 Million prize. 12 participants selected Pagés to hit a home run Monday. Because Pagés was the only St. Louis player to hit a home run and the Cardinals put up 11 runs, the most of any MLB team that night, the 12 participants each won $83,334 in bonus bets. St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Gordon Graceffo (44) and catcher Pedro Pages (43) celebrateJeff Curry-Imagn Images Adding to the rarity, the 26-year old catcher isn't exactly known as a 'power hitter.' Through Wednesday, Pagés has 10 home runs in 322 at-bats, giving him a career HR/PA (home run per plate appearance) rate of .029. By comparison, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has a HR/PA rate of .073. Advertisement Pagés did slug 16 round-trippers in 117 games with Double-A Springfield in 2023, but has never eclipsed 20 home runs in a full professional season since being drafted in the sixth round by the Redbirds in 2019. For those interested, the next DraftKings 'King of the Diamond' promotion is expected to occur Friday, May 23. Related: Cardinals Make Encouraging Announcement on No. 3 Prospect

Top fantasy baseball prospects: Roman Anthony gets the call, Brady House could be next
A reminder: This is ONLY players who have Rookie of the Year MLB eligibility, and ONLY a look at potential help for 2025. That out of the way, here's a look at the top prospects who can help your fantasy roster this season. 1. Roman Anthony, OF, Boston Red Sox 2025 stats: 53 G, .303/.430/.492, 8 HR, 3 SB, 45 BB, 4349 SO at Triple-A Worcester. has been deserving of this promotion for a while, but perhaps a 497 foot grand slam was what it took for the top prospect in baseball to finally get a chance to face MLB pitching. Prospects fail because baseball is hard and scouting isn't/never will be an exact science, but the skill set Anthony possesses makes it hard for me to imagine he won't at least be a solid player in his first taste of MLB action. The future's even brighter, but fantasy managers should run -- not walk -- to their electronic devices to add Anthony if he's still available. 2. Jordan Lawlar, 2B, Arizona Diamondbacks 2025 stats: 39 G, .326/.405/.580, 8 HR, 14 SB, 22 BB, 52 SO at Triple-A Reno; 8 G .000/.175/.000, 0 SB, 3 BB, 9 SO at Arizona. Lawlar's average has taken a dip since being demoted back to Reno, but he's seen his slugging percentage go up and had another two homers since our last update. Even with how disappointing his run with Arizona was, there's doubt in my mind that he belongs on this list. There's five tools at his disposal, and he offers as much upside as any prospect in the minors -- at least at the higher levels. When the Diamondbacks give him another chance this summer, I'd still be willing to make the roster move. 3. Brady House, INF, Washington Nationals2025 stats: 59 G, .299/.352/.521, 12 HR, 0 SB, 19 BB, 66 SO at Triple-A to the list, Brady. We've been expecting you. House was disappointing in 2024, but the former first-round pick has bounced back nicely in his first full season in Triple-A. There's easy plus power in his right-handed bat, and while he does offer considerable swing-and-miss, there's also some Kris Bryant to the game -- the Cubs version, to be clear -- where he makes enough hard contact to still help in the average category. The approach needs work, but House has a chance to do enough good things to make him worthy of fantasy consideration whenever the Nats call him up. It seems like that could be relatively soon. 4. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers 2025 stats: 13 G, 63.1 IP, 2.12 ERA, .175 BAA, 31 BB, 80 SO at Triple-A Nashville. That's more like it. Misiorowski had an awful week in our previous edition, but bounced back nicely in his most recent start. The right-hander fired five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, and he allowed just a pair of hits. He also walked three, and the control has not been great for Misiorowski as of late; something that the Brewers are certainly aware of as it's considered his biggest flaw. As long as he can throw strikes at an average rate, Misiorowski's stuff is special enough for him to be an elite bat-misser at the highest level. Even at a below-average mark -- a more realistic expectation -- Misiorowski is certainly good enough for fantasy plaudits. 5. Christian Moore, 2B, Los Angeles Angels 2025 stats: 52 G, .270/.367/.388, 3 HR, 8 SB, 30 BB, 63 SO at Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake. It's a little surprising that a first-round pick from the previous year hasn't gotten called up yet based on their recent history, but Moore did receive a promotion to Triple-A, and it has gone well so far, albeit in a small sample. The eighth-overall pick has hit .362/.456/.468 since joining the Bees over 18 games, and he's stolen three bases with three extra-base hits. Moore has plus power and speed in his bat, and while he will strike out, he's also a patient hitter who can draw free passes and put those wheels to work. The Angels have been playing well, but their middle infield still leaves a lot to be desired. I like his chance for fantasy success whenever he does get the call.

Aaron Judge delivers powerful statement with home run against Red Sox rookie who refuses to sign with Yankees
Aaron Judge heard what Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins had to say about his New York Yankees. Instead of talking back, he let his bat do the talking on Sunday night. Before his Sunday start, Dobbins told the Boston Herald that he would rather retire than sign with the Yankees. Judge said before the game that he was "a little surprised" Dobbins, a lifelong Red Sox fan thanks to his die-hard father, made that comment. Judge wasted no time getting back at Dobbins on the field, smashing a 97 mph fastball 436 feet to right-center field for a two-run home run. The ball exited Judge's bat at 108.6 mph, and everyone in the Yankee Stadium crowd knew the tension that was already there with Dobbins' comments making national headlines. "I've only heard Ken Griffey say that, so I was a little surprised," Judge said of Dobbins' comments, via ESPN. He was referencing the Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who said he wouldn't sign with the Yankees during his career after seeing how the franchise treated his father, Ken Griffey Sr., while he played for him. In the end, though, Dobbins and the Red Sox got the last laugh. Despite giving up those two runs in the first inning, Dobbins was solid against the Yankees lineup after that. He allowed one more earned run and four hits total over his five innings of work. Boston's offense also unloaded midway through the rivalry game, with Kristian Campbell hitting a two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning to get them on the board. Then, in the top of the sixth inning, a five-spot was put on the home team thanks in part to Carlos Narvàez's three-run homer. The Red Sox would add two runs each in the top of the eighth and ninth innings to ultimately beat their AL East rival 11-7, winning their first series of the year two games to one. Judge went yard once more in the bottom of the ninth inning to cut the Red Sox's lead to four, going to the bullpen in right-center to finish his night 3-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBI. Despite the loss over the weekend, the Yankees are still leading the division at 39-25. However, the Red Sox perhaps found some new life beating one of the best teams in baseball in this series. They are now 32-35 going into the week, where they will see New York once again with a weekend grudge match at Fenway Park in Boston. As of now, Dobbins is slated to face the Yankees in his next start. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
