A nearly full slate of games for us on this fine Tuesday means we are going to need some value bats! Some of the New York bats aren’t cheap against Baltimore, nor are the Toronto or Los Angeles Dodgers’ bats. On the bump, Gerrit Cole and Lucas Giolito are going to cost you a pretty penny, so where’s the value on the slate? Don’t worry. There’s plenty of value to be had, and even in some of the potent offenses mentioned above. There’s also one team in particular that could be a profitable stack without breaking the bank.

All of that and more below in today’s Value Vault!

Chas McCormick, OF HOU ($2,200 FD/$2,000 DK/$9 Yahoo) - Where are my BvP people at? Here you go! McCormick is 3-for-5 with two home runs in his career against Jordan Lyles. The Texas right-hander has allowed a .301 batting average to right-handed hitters this season, and McCormick has a .451 slugging percentage versus right-handed pitching. He’s a bit cold of late, but he’s familiar with Lyles, and he has three home runs in 25 at-bats against Texas pitching this season.

Seth Beer, OF ARI ($2,200 FD/$2,200 DK/$15 Yahoo) - I’m hoping Beer cracks the lineup tonight, but unsure if he will be without the DH spot available. However, if he does play, his prices across the board are low. He’s 4-for-9 this season with one home run and three RBI, and in three at-bats against right-handers, he has that .667 average and 2.333 OPS. Yes, not sustainable numbers, but he’s hit the ball hard and has an impressive 22.2 degree launch angle. Check to see if he’s in the lineup, but if so, Beer should be in your GPP lineups.

Gary Sánchez, C NYY ($15) - For starters, if Sanchez doesn’t play, I’m fine with pivoting to Kyle Higashioka, as the latter has a .349 wOBA against righties this year. I’m interested in Sanchez, or Higashioka, because Baltimore’s Alexander Wells has allowed a .362 batting average to right-handed hitters, a .437 wOBA to righties and he has a 7.15 ERA in 22.2 innings this year. Sanchez has three home runs in 44 at-bats against Baltimore pitching this year and three of his five hits this month have sailed over the fence. I’ll shoot for upside here in GPPs.

Mike Yastrzemski, OF SFG ($15) - I’m attacking Jake Arrieta with any left-handed bat I can find. Well, any bat would work really, but I like left-handers. Lefties are hitting Arrieta at a .321 clip this year with a .409 on-base percentage and .961 OPS. Yastrzemski has a .517 slugging percentage against right-handed pitching this season, and he’s hitting .263 with a .970 OPS over the last week! He’s hit safely in three of his last four games, including a home run last night.

DraftKings

Lane Thomas, OF WSH ($2,900) - Thomas has one hit in two career at-bats against Miami’s Jesús Luzardo, but the big thing here is Thomas’ prowess against southpaws. Not only is he hitting .279 over the past two weeks with an OPS north of .900, but against lefties in particular in 2021, he’s hitting an insane .439 with a 1.225 OPS in 41 at-bats!

DJ Peters, OF TEX ($2,500) - Peters may only be hitting .237 against righties this season, but he does have eight home runs in 97 at-bats against them, good for an .828 OPS. He has three home runs here in September, and he has a .912 OPS over the last two-plus weeks. Since the calendar flipped to July, Greinke has surrendered a 1.93 HR/9 and 22.6% HR/FB ratio. Also, his FIP (5.31) and xFIP (4.20) indicate his 3.70 ERA is a bit of a mirage.

FanDuel

Gleyber Torres, SS NYY ($3,100) - I think with time, perhaps as early as today, the switch to second base will free up Torres’ mind and allow him to produce at the plate. He’s hitting .333 with an .815 OPS against Baltimore this year, and at Camden Yards, he has a .313 batting average and .889 OPS. Torres is sporting a .283 batting average and .400 slugging percentage against southpaws this season, and Baltimore’s Alexander Wells has stunk against right-handed hitters in 2021.

LaMonte Wade Jr., OF SFG ($2,900) - I told you! Lefties against Arrieta! Wade has a .279 batting average and .919 OPS against right-handers in 2021, and he’s seeing the ball well in September, posting a .357 batting average and 1.042 OPS. Furthermore, he has a .936 OPS in his home park! Wade is a must play on FanDuel this evening.
