How we built the player leaderboards
We ranked hitters by fantasy_points_hitting and pitchers by fantasy_points_pitching in daily_player_stats for April 3, 2026. Two-way players follow the same rule as prior posts: when Ohtani only hits, his batting row drives hitter ladders for that day. For the full “why two tables?” write-up, see March 26.

What this means if you use AthX
Daily fantasy points tell you who won the box score under AthX Engine rules for one day. 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.
