Well, Alek Manoah and Jake Odirizzi are the highest-priced pitchers on FanDuel and DraftKings respectively this evening, and that’s something I never thought I’d type. With that in mind, yes, you likely won’t be forking over a ton of cash for starters, so you’ll have plenty for the bats, but you’ll still need some value guys to round out the lineup. Below, you’ll find some of my favorite value bats for the day, as well as a right-hander that is simply too cheap on DraftKings! Without further ado, let’s jump in!

Both Sites

Trevor Larnach, OF MIN ($2,600 FD/$2,800 DK) - When a righty is on the mound who struggles against lefties, Larnach comes to mind immediately. Is he in play? Yes. He’s hitting righties at a .282 clip this year, not to mention a .385 wOBA, and Detroit’s Matt Manning has allowed a .303 average to left-handed hitters. Sure, Manning’s numbers are worse against righties, but I wouldn’t say he’s great against lefties by any means! Larnach is hitting .345 with a .973 OPS over his last eight games and he’s hit safely in all but one of them.

Garrett Cooper, 1B/OF MIA ($2,300 FD/$3,500 DK) - Cooper has a .273 average and .823 OPS versus right-handers this year, and he’s sporting an excellent .368 average and 1.144 OPS in his home park. Cooper is swinging a hot bat, as he’s hitting .450 this month, and his three home runs  and six walks have helped push his OPS up to 1.477 in that span. He has back-to-back multi-hit games and despite a tougher matchup, I’m confident that he’ll pay off for us tonight.

FanDuel

Franmil Reyes, OF CLE ($3,200) - Reyes has homered in three straight games, driving in nine runs and hitting .381 with a 1.266 OPS in that span. He’s 3-for-5 in his career off today’s starter Brad Keller, and the long ball has been a problem for Keller, as he’s allowed a 1.34 HR/9 for the year. On the road, Keller has allowed a 1.37 HR/9, not to mention a .335 BAA and 1.98 WHIP. Reyes just might hit multiple home runs tonight.

Leury Garcia, 2B/SS ($2,300) - Garcia is 4-for-8 with a home run against Baltimore’s Jorge Lopez, who has been a dumpster fire this year to say the least. Lopez is 2-11 with a 6.02 ERA and at home in particular, he’s 1-4 with a 5.59 ERA! He’s allowed 21 earned runs over his last 24.2 innings of work and both lefties and righties have posted an OPS north of .830 against him. Chicago should be a popular stack, and Yoan Moncada is another guy you can get at a value who should have a big day.

Wil Myers, OF SDP ($2,200) - Myers might be hitting just .261 this month, but he’s hit safely in four straight games, and in that span, he’s homered once, driven in seven runners and scored four times himself. He’s 7-for-22 off Kyle Freeland for his career, and while Myers has struggled against lefties this year, Freeland has a 6.50 ERA in four road starts this year, and righties have posted a .315 batting average and .920 OPS against him. If you’re stacking San Diego, it’s hard not to include Myers at this price point.

DraftKings

Taijuan Walker, SP NYM ($9,000) - Using our projections here at DFS Alarm, Walker is projected for the most points on the slate today, yet he’s the eighth-highest priced pitcher on DraftKings! In seven home starts this year, Walker is a perfect 4-0 with a 1.52 ERA and striking out over one batter per inning. Over his last five starts, he carries a 2.90 ERA with an exceptional 36:4 K/BB ratio. He’s underpriced on DraftKings today, and there’s simply no other way to put it.

Jean Segura, 2B PHI ($3,300) - Segura is hitting .331 against righties this year and Boston’s Garrett Richards has been struggling of late. Actually, struggling might be an understatement. Over his last five starts, opponents are hitting .366 against him and he has a 7.89 ERA. Yikes. Richard is throwing his fastball and slider about 85 percent of the time, and well, what do you know, Segura is hitting .358 and .346 against those two pitches respectively. Philly will put up some runs against Richards and his 6.75 ERA at home this year, so don’t be surprised if Segura has multiple hits and RBI+R.
