With 13 games on the MLB DFS main slate tonight, there are plenty of options at every pricing tier but in order to spend up on Shane McClanahan, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Julio Rodriguez, you’re going to need some value options. That’s where this article comes in. Be sure to check out all of our tools including the MLB Lineups page, MLB DFS Projections – powered by FanJections –, MLB DFS Ownership, and all of the rest of our tools HERE! Let’s dive into our favorite daily fantasy baseball value plays of the day.

 

MLB DFS Value Pitchers

Kyle Gibson, Baltimore Orioles

Attacking the Cleveland Guardians continues to be profitable, and we won’t stop now. Gibson’s arguably had his best two-game stretch of the season, throwing 14 innings of one-run baseball, winning both games, while notching 22 DKP or more in each. Cleveland is 29th in OPS and 30th in wOBA and ISO this year against right-handed pitching. Gibson’s been really good at home this season and that shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the pitcher’s paradise that it’s become.

Brayan Bello, Boston Red Sox

Things have really turned around for Brayan Bello over the last month as he’s been dynamite over his past five starts. He hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs while notching at least five strikeouts and putting up 17+ DKP in five straight starts. He now faces the Reds who rank 18th in wOBA and 20th in OPS against right-handed pitching this season. Cincy is not going to have a good time against Bello who has a 59% groundball rate and they have one of the lowest GB rates in the league.


MLB DFS Value Hitters

Royce Lewis, Minnesota Twins

Lewis made his season debut on Monday and he went off, notching a 2-for-5 with a home run and four runs batted in. Lewis, despite all of the production and batting fifth, is still the minimum salary on DraftKings. Lewis was absolutely raking on his rehab assignment before his call-up and is one of the league’s top prospects before last year's ACL tear. Brandon Bielak has been hit by everyone under the sun this year and righties have posted some massive numbers against him with a .406 wOBA and .316 ISO. That paired with a 47.6% hard-hit rate is not going to go well for him here.

Eloy Jimenez, Chicago White Sox

It’s hard for me to submit a lineup today that doesn’t include Eloy Jimenez at just $3,200 on DraftKings. Before Jimenez’s emergency appendectomy he was raking and he picked right back up where he left off post-surgery. He homered on Monday and has four RBI and has been on base five times in just two games. Over his last 10 games played, Jimenez is hitting .425 with a 1.189 OPS. Righties have been Tyler Anderson’s kryptonite allowing a .365 wOBA and .224 ISO. Over the last two seasons, Jimenez has a combined .353 wOBA against left-handed pitchers.

James Outman, Los Angeles Dodgers

Let me first say I understand that he’s in the midst of a pretty awful slump, one that has really showcased the strikeouts are baaaaad. He did, however, have a hit, sac fly, and a stolen base on Monday and did NOT strike out at all in that game. He faces off with a guy in Jake Irvin that has a sub-20% K-rate, which bodes well for Outman. He’s been dangerous against right-handed pitchers notching a .269 ISO and .328 wOBA and that correlates with Irvin because he’s been terrible against lefties. Lefties have a .367 wOBA, .250 ISO, 56% FB rate, and a 40% hard-hit rate. He works really well in a Dodgers stack today.

Francisco Alvarez, New York Mets & Gabriel Moreno, Arizona Diamondbacks

When looking through the slate, paying up for catcher can be a viable strategy, but there are TWO elite value catchers in Francisco Alvarez and Gabriel Moreno. Moreno has been great against left-handed pitching, notching a .240 ISO and .454 wOBA and faces Kyle Freeland who has allowed a .333 wOBA and .201 ISO against righties. Alvarez has been surging in the power department, homering five times over his last eight games and power is how Ranger Suarez has been decimated with allowing a .244 ISO to righty bats.
