While we do have Coors Field to contend with tonight, we also get a 14 or 13-game MLB DFS main slate so there is no shortage of options out there. Weather is going to come into play tonight on the east coast so while that is another variable to contend with, our MLB weather page is ready to go as a resource. Leading up to lock, it is also important to keep an eye on the latest MLB news and MLB lineups. Now let’s take a look at some MLB DFS value options. 

 

DFS Value Pitchers

 

Mitch White (LAD); DraftKings - $7,800; FanDuel - $6,900; Yahoo - $34

White is coming off a strong outing for the Dodgers in which he struck out six batters in 5.1 innings while only allowing one hit and one run (unearned). While White’s four walks were not ideal, he has managed to be solid on that front so far with 3.38 per nine innings while striking out close to a batter per inning. St. Louis played last night in Philadelphia so it is possible they are not at peak energy tonight and White has a solid 3.38 ERA through 40 innings so far this year. The strikeouts provide the upside and the right-hander has shown the ability to get out of trouble and avoid true trouble so far this year. 

 

 

Corey Kluber (TB); DraftKings - $8,000; FanDuel - $8,400; Yahoo - $38

It is a tough night when it comes to value pitching so the thought process here is to go with the solidly priced option who has had a fair amount of success this season. Kluber is averaging 15 DK points in his last 10 starts and he takes a 3.62 ERA and 1.11 WHIP into tonight’s start against Boston. In his last start, Kluber threw six shutout innings while scattering just three hits, not walking a batter, and striking out five. Kluber’s ERA metrics (3.44 FIP) like the fact that he is only walking 1.43 batters per nine innings to go along with 7.9 strikeouts. With just a 6.9%-barrel rate, opposing hitters have not done the best job of squaring up on Kluber which also helps here. 

 

DFS Value Hitters

 

Adam Duvall, OF (ATL); DraftKings - $3,300; FanDuel - $2,700; Yahoo - $16

David Peterson struggles against Atlanta and Duvall has had success in a small sample size against the left-hander so it could be a recipe for success for the outfielder. In six at-bats against Peterson, Duvall has four hits which include two doubles and a home run. The platoon advantage works for Duvall as six of his 10 home runs have come against southpaws (in 67 at-bats) so far this season and the batting average is also better here; .239 vs. 195. With a 23.1-degree launch angle, it is no secret what Duvall is trying to do at the plate and his 12.6%-barrel rate also helps here. 

 

 

Willi Castro, OF/3B/SS (DET); DraftKings - $2,000; FanDuel - $2,300; Yahoo - $11

Let’s follow the BVP train here as Castro has gone deep twice in 11 at-bats against Kris Bubic with four hits in total. Castro is coming off a two-hit effort last night to bring his batting average up to .260 on the year. We get a slight advantage for Castro against southpaws, .278 compared to .254, and Bubic is simply bad all around with his 6.84 ERA (5.76 FIP) thanks in part to the fact that he walks close to six batters per nine innings while allowing 1.66 home runs per nine.

 

 

Jared Walsh, 1B (LAA); DraftKings - $3,700; FanDuel - $2,500; Yahoo - $9

Luis García is a pretty solid pitcher but it is hard to ignore the success Walsh has had against the right-hander in his career. While the price on DK is reasonable for Walsh tonight, I had to do a double-take upon seeing his price on FD and Yahoo. In 19 plate appearances against Garcia, Walsh has five walks and is hitting .500 with two home runs and two doubles. With a .247 batting average on the season, Walsh is not doing much to stand out from the crowd, and a 30% strikeout rate does not help, but with 13 home runs and 40 RBI, there is some power and run production to work with here. 

 

 

Leody Taveras, OF (TEX); DraftKings - $2,000; FanDuel - $2,500; Yahoo - $11

This is a case of riding the hot hand here as Tavares picked up three hits last night after going for two hits the night before. In facing James Kaprielian tonight, the Rangers are expected to score close to five runs so that means it should be another busy night for Tavares. In his last 10 games, 28 at-bats, Tavares is hitting .393 to bring his mark for the season up to .317 in 66 plate appearances.
