Full slate tonight, ladies and gents! There’s a lot of vulnerable pitchers to attack today and expect 174 percent ownership of Shohei Ohtani today! Otherwise, there are some pitchers that could command a pretty penny, so you’ll have to factor that in if you’re paying up, and we have a barnburner of a series at Coors Field with the Pittsburgh Pirates in town. Without further ado, let’s dive in today’s value options!
Both Sites
Ryan Zimmerman, 1B WAS ($2,500 FD/$3,300 DK) - Zimmerman and Rich Hill are familiar foes, and much to the former’s delight. In 13 at-bats against Hill, the veteran first baseman has six hits (2 HR), three RBI and three walks to just one strikeout. That’s good for a .462 average and 1.560 OPS! Zimmerman has a .297 batting average at home this year, and through four June starts, Hill has a 4.12 ERA with an 18:10 K/BB ratio.
Andrew McCutchen, OF PHI ($3,000 FD/$3,500 DK) - I love Trevor Rogers as much as the next guy, but I’m a sucker for BvP data! Cutch has hit southpaws at a .286 clip this year, with seven home runs in just 98 at-bats. The veteran outfielder is 4-for-7 with two home runs against Rogers, good for a .571 average and .778 wOBA! Rogers is very good, so I likely won’t look at Cutch in cash, however, with the BvP data favoring both Cutch and Rhys Hoskins, that could make for an interesting contrarian stack in GPPs.
FanDuel
Jared Walsh, 1B/OF LAA ($3,400 FD) - Walsh has hit righties at a .342 clip this year with 14 home runs and 40 RBI, and on the road this season, he’s homered once every 20 at-bats and has hit .271. On the road this season, Jameson Taillon has an 11.12 ERA and has served up a .382 batting average to the opposition. Taillon has been far more against lefties (.873 OPS) than righties (.688), so load up on those L.A. lefties today! Walsh just might be my favorite play on the entire slate.
Amed Rosario, SS CLE ($2,600 FD) - Detroit’s Jose Urena has struggled this season, and all Rosario has done is hit righties at a .272 clip in 2021. Also, at his home park, Rosario is hitting .324! He has at least 12 FanDuel points in three straight contests and there’s going to be some runs put up in this game! Other players to note are Cesar Hernandez and Bobby Bradley from Cleveland, as well as Akil Baddoo from Detroit.
DraftKings
Jacob Stallings, C PIT ($3,100 DK) - Yes, Bryan Reynolds is still in play, but I’m looking at Stallings here, especially on DraftKings where you are forced to start a catcher. Sure, he’s hitting just .210 over the month of June, but if you look more recently, he’s been decent. He’s hit safely in five of his last seven games, hitting .280 in that span with five RBI and two runs scored. He’s hit righties at a .256 clip in 2021, and he’s playing at the game’s most lucrative offensive park.
Josh Rojas, OF ARI ($3,200 DK) - Rojas is hitting an even .300 with a .440 slugging percentage over the last two weeks, hitting one home run, driving in six runners and scoring seven times himself during that span. He’s hitting righties at a .259 clip, but he gets a great matchup against St. Louis’ Carlos Martinez, who has struggled against left-handed hitters (.269 BAA). In six home starts this year, Martinez has a 5.85 ERA and in the month of June, he’s 0-5 with a 13.73 ERA across five starts. Ouch.
Player News
Pirates SS/OF prospect Konnor Griffin went 3-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run, three RBI and one stolen base on Saturday for Low-A Bradenton.
Griffin’s phenomenal professional debut continued Saturday when he legged out an inside-the-park home run as part of his 21st multi-hit performance of the season. The 19-year-old phenom is slashing .338/.398/.536 with nine round-trippers and 26 steals across 50 games for Low-A Bradenton. He leads the entire Florida State League with 70 hits and ranks second in home runs, trailing only Phillies breakout prospect Aroon Escobar in the power department. Based on his current trajectory, Griffin is likely to finish the year as a top-five caliber prospect for dynasty purposes.
Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, stolen base and two runs scored in a win for the Mets on Saturday over the Rockies.
Mauricio gets the combo meal in a blowout win over the lowly Rockies. Still counts. The 24-year-old has his first homer of the 2025 campaign, and the steal is also his first after being recalled from Syracuse on Tuesday. Mauricio is still young enough to live up to the lofty expectations he once had, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be rushing to add the infielder just yet.
Francisco Lindor went 3-for-5 and stole two bases while helping the Mets to an 8-1 win over the Rockies on Saturday.
Lindor’s first game back in the starting lineup was a successful one. The fractured pinkie toe clearly wasn’t bugging him too much, as he swiped a pair of bags to bring his total to 13 in 2025. Lindor may get some maintenance days to prevent aggravation, but it doesn’t appear that this injury will slow him down. Literally and figuratively.
Germán Márquez allowed four runs over five innings to take a loss to the Mets on Saturday.
Márquez is now 2-8 on the season and has an ERA of exactly 7.00. He’s not a good pitcher, and he pitches for the worst team in baseball. Atlanta gets the pleasure of facing him next weekend.
Clay Holmes gave up one run over six innings to get a win over the Rockies on Saturday.
Holmes gave up nine hits, but the only run he allowed came on a solo homer off the bat of Ryan McMahon. The 32-year-old didn’t issue a free pass, and he struck out six in another successful outing. Holmes now has an ERA of 2.95 on the season, and you cannot say the conversion to starter has been anything but a success. He gets the Rays next weekend.
Colton Cowser clobbered a solo homer while going 2-for-5 in a 7-4 win for the Orioles over the Athletics on Saturday.
