We have 10 games to work with for tonight’s DFS MLB slate with a roster lock of 7:05 PM ET. Last night’s Tigers/Twins game rained out as expected, yet the rain doesn’t look like it’s going away in the Twin Cities, because there’s some storms forecasted tonight as well. Still, I think the game should get in tonight. 

As always, players are arranged based on their FanDuel position eligibility, and from highest to lowest salary using FanDuel pricing.

Gary Sanchez hit his 3rd multi-homer game this season last night against the Rays. That’s unheard of! Can Blake Snell stop his home run streak? The odds are likely, but Sanchez has been proving everyone wrong all season long, and he actually homered off of Blake Snell earlier this season. 

Nick Hundley is the name I’m highlighting in my Hitting Coach article, but let’s be real, we want us some Tom Murphy if he gets another shot. Still, if Hundley gets the shot, which I figure he will, he’ll get that shot against Brett Anderson, who hasn’t been able to get though more than four innings this season. Not four innings in a game. Four innings TOTAL. 

Evan Gattis pulled off another multi-homer game in yesterday’s matinee against the A’s, which brought his 2016 home run total to 30. I wouldn’t be surprised if he adds to that total tonight against Ricky Nolasco

Yasmani Grandal has his 22 of his 25 home runs in 2016 against right-handed pitching.

Freddie Freeman has a ridiculous 25-game hitting streak where he has emerged as DFS’s most consistent first baseman. The best thing about Freddie is the fact that it always seems like no one likes to use him in GPPs. 

Mike Napoli is batting .375/.474/.812 with four home runs throughout his career against Jason Vargas of the Royals. 

Joe Mauer is 25-for-75 (.333 AVG) with four homers, five doubles, 13 walks, and 11 RBIs, lifetime, against Justin Verlander of the Tigers.

Tommy Joseph has a 7-game hitting streak where he has gone 12-for-25 (.480- AVG) with three homers, three doubles, three walks, and eight RBIs. This includes a homer off of the great Chris Sale last night as half of the DFS community tilted their brains off.

DJ LeMahieu has a great opportunity to extend his 12-game hitting streak tonight against Brett Anderson. He has actually reached base two times or more in each of his last seven games. 

Ryan Schimpf is pretty cold right now, but I like him as a GPP play against Jeff Samardzija, who he has gone 3-for-6 (.500 AVG) against with a homer and a triple this season. 

T.J. Rivera had another two-hit night on Wednesday, which brought up his hitting streak to six games, while homering in three of his last eight starts. 

Dee Gordon has gone 5-for-13 (.385 AVG) with a homer throughout his career against Josh Collmenter

Nolan Arenado is 5-for-10 (.500 AVG), lifetime, against the dumpster fire, Brett Anderson of the Dodgers.

Jung-Ho Kang is batting .340/.476/.700 with five homers and 14 RBIs over this last 15 games. 

Eduardo Nunez has 16 home runs this season. Nine of those have been against right-handed pitching over 410 at-bats. The other seven have come against left-handed pitching, but only 126 at-bats. 

Jose Reyes has been at his best against lefties this season, batting .386/.471/.773 with four homers, five doubles, and eight RBIs over 44 at-bats. This includes a homer and a double against Adam Morgan of the Phillies.

Corey Seager has homered off of Tyler Chatwood this season, and has a very impressive .411 wOBA and 20 of his 25 home runs against right-handed pitching in 2016. 

Brad Miller went double dong last night, which helped him hit the 30 home run mark this season. This is pretty amazing considering he has hit a COMBINED total of 29 home runs over three seasons with the Mariners. 

Asdrubal Cabrera has emerged as one of the best hitting shortstops in baseball. His price point is actually very reasonable given the circumstances and the fact that he has hit 21 home runs this year, even with a stint on the disabled list. 

Andrelton Simmons has been hitting in the heart of the Angels lineup the last few weeks. Not bad for someone who is still $2500 on FanDuel.

Mike Trout hit a big 3-run home run last night off of Derek Holland of the Rangers. He’s finally looking like the Mike Trout we all know, and gets a good matchup against Mike Fiers of the Astros tonight. 

Charlie Blackmon has actually performed just as well against left-handed pitching this season, batting .329/.395/.462 against southpaws. 

Mookie Betts has another multi-hit game at Camden Yards last night, which now puts him at 18-for-34 (.529 AVG) with eight homers, 15 RBIs, a .610 OBP, and 1.235 SLG in Baltimore this season. Yes, that’s correct, his OPS is 1.845, which is somehow higher than the 1.600 it was at when the series started. 

Christian Yelich hit a big home run last night off of Max Scherzer, but most importantly, he gets a pretty good matchup against Josh Collmenter, the former D-Back, tonight at Marlins Park. 

Sean Rodriguez is making Clint Hurdle look like a buffoon for ignoring his offensive abilities all season long. The former Angels prospect has a 10-game hitting streak and homers in six of those games. 

Domingo Santana has been batting .321/.387/.661 with five homers, four doubles, and 11 RBIs in the month of September. 

Corey Dickerson has homered and doubled in six at-bats against Luis Cessa this season. At $2900 on FanDuel, I think he’s a good option in all formats. 

Jarrod Dyson is once again a great value as long as he’s situated in the leadoff spot for the Royals. 

Nick Markakis has been an on-base machine as of late, and is probably my favorite FanDuel value play of the night. 

Roman Quinn is clearly getting a very strong look for the Phillies right now. He has been batting 2nd on a consistent basis and is a great value throughout the industry, while bringing a decent on-base/speed combination.
