So, Who's Better?

Going into the 2025 season, we have Vientos slotted as the #9-ranked third baseman (with an ADP of 86). Compare that with Bregman, who's #10 at the position (ADP of 111). Based on just those full-season projections, expect Vientos to be the slightly better fantasy performer. Nothing's that easy, though - let's dig into the most important stats for both daily and roto leagues...

DFS Contests

Daily lineups are all about timing, short-term trends and matchups, even among highly-ranked players. With these two guys, keep an eye on the following splits...

Vientos tends to perform better when:
  • Playing at home split alert - his career OPS when playing in front of the home crowd is .794 (.706 on the road)
  • It's a night game split alert - his lifetime OPS when playing under the lights is .780 (.691 in day games)
Bregman tends to perform better when:
  • It's a night game - his lifetime OPS when playing under the lights is .864 (.814 in day games)

On any given day (see today's matchups), check to see how many of these OPS "bonuses" apply. If most or all are in play, highly consider going in that player's direction.

Roto Leagues

On the flip side, rotisserie is a marathon and MUCH more predictable. Most major trends tend to repeat, especially with established players.

For starters, Vientos is a 25-year old righty with the potential to produce a slash of .240/65/30/80 (BA/R/HR/RBI)... with basically no steals a year. So, that's the big downside here. He hits for an above-average OPS (~.750), so plenty of ways to stuff 5x5 cats. He's relatively young and his ceiling's not fully established so his projected stat levels could still shift upwards as well.

Now, with Bregman - he's a 31-year old righty with .260/85/25/80 splits... with virtually no SBs a season. You'll need to make up that speed gap elsewhere. He should hit for an OPS of ~.800, so an above-average source of extra-base hits. At his age, he's a legit veteran so, stat-wise, we pretty much know what to expect (or hope to get).

Overall, these two have a bunch in common so, over the course of a full season, you'll get a similar amount of fantasy points from each. Draft for value, not strictly points.
