MLB DFS Value Vault June 11: Lock In Michael Harris Tonight
Baseball all day. There certainly are worse ways to spend a Saturday than that, so why not also pick up some cash while doing so by playing some MLB DFS. As far the slate goes, options are all over the place but for our purposes we are considering the games beginning at 4 PM on east coast as the MLB DFS main slate. That gives us eight games to choose from on DraftKings, 10 on FanDuel, and 11 on Yahoo Fantasy. Make sure to stay aligned all day with the latest MLB weather, MLB news, and MLB lineups. Now it’s time to go through some MLB DFS value options to help save some cash.
MLB DFS Value Pitchers
DraftKings - $6,500; FanDuel - $8,100; Yahoo - $35
It hasn’t been the best of seasons for Zach Plesac but we are forced to have short memories here, and in that sense, Plesac becomes a little more attractive. The fact that he takes the mound against Oakland today is the first plus, but Plesac also has games of 18.5 and 26.5 DK points in his last two as he allowed three runs over 12 innings while striking out 13. On an overall basis, Plesac has a 4.72 ERA but that is enough to work with here in a favorable matchup.
DraftKings - $8,400; FanDuel - $8,400
Today is not the easiest of days when it comes to value priced pitching options, so we have to spend up a little higher for Mike Clevinger. With that being said, it’s not the worst thing in the world as we get the San Diego right-hander against a Colorado team away from Coors Field. After working his way back into action from Tommy John surgery and making three starts, Clevinger returned from a triceps injury and was eased back into action once again throwing three innings in his last outing (60 pitches). With a 3.18 ERA and 10.59 strikeouts per nine innings, we shouldn’t have to worry about performance here as I would expect him to pitch deeper into the game today.
MLB DFS Value Hitters
DraftKings - $2,900; FanDuel - $2,300; Yahoo - $11
Michael Harris is coming off a two-hit effort last night against Pittsburgh, and with five hits in 10 at bats over his last three games the rookie is hitting .298 since his promotion with eight runs scored in 49 plate appearances. Atlanta has a favorable matchup against Zach Thompson today and Harris also benefits from the platoon advantage. The Braves will be a popular stack tonight and the rookie outfielder will be an affordable piece of that.
FanDuel - $2,500; Yahoo - $13
Nico Hoerner has found himself batting in the middle of the order for the Cubs and prior to going hitless on Friday, the shortstop had a modest five-game hitting streak. That brought Hoerner’s batting average down to .283 on the season but he does a good job of putting the bat on the ball with just an 11.9% strikeout rate. Hoerner also doesn’t walk but he has driven in 16 runs while also stealing six bases which does give him some DFS value.
DraftKings - $2,200; FanDuel - $2,600; Yahoo - $17
Things aren’t going well for Charlie Morton this season and that makes some Pirates bats a solid option today. This includes Jack Suwinski who has been a solid source of power to this point with eight home runs in 119 at bats so far this season. Platoon splits have also worked to Suwinski’s advantage here as he is hitting .268 against right-handed pitching so far this season and with a 13.1%-barrel rate, good things are happening when he makes contact.
DraftKings - $3,200; FanDuel - $2,600; Yahoo - $8
Don’t look now, but Maikel Franco has a modest 10-game hitting streak with hits in 12 of his last 13 games which brought his batting average up to .269 on the season. Nothing about Franco truly stands out, but the third baseman also hasn’t been bad this season either with five home runs, 28 RBI, and 20 runs scored. At this price point, we aren’t looking for much from Franco, and based on what we have seen lately, he should be in position to deliver.

Camilo Doval struck out the side Friday in a scoreless inning of relief against Atlanta on Friday.
Doval doesn’t get a win, save or even a hold since he worked in a tie ballgame, which is disappointing. Three strikeouts and a scoreless frame to lower the ole ERA is a nice consolation prize. Doval has been fantastic in 2025, and there’s no reason to think that he’s giving up this closing gig to anyone in the San Francisco bullpen anytime soon, if ever.
Mason Miller was able to pick up a save by working 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles on Friday.
You don’t see a ton of five-out saves anymore, but Miller was able to do just that for the series-opening win against the Orioles. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out three, and he issued just a walk while not allowing any hits. Miller’s stuff is electric and few closers are better when he’s at his best, and after his struggles for the majority of May, it appears he’s turned things around for the better.
Dean Kremer was charged for five runs in 5 1/3 innings while picking up a loss to the Athletics on Friday.
Kremer was coming off an excellent start against the White Sox on Saturday, but he was nowhere close to as effective in his follow-up start. He struck out just two while allowing eight hits; giving fantasy managers an idea of how little he fooled the A’s lineup during Friday’s affair. Kremer looked good for most of June, but this was a reminder of what can go wrong when you don’t have quality swing-and-miss stuff. He’s a volatile option at best against the Tigers on Thursday.
Tyler Fitzgerald scored the game-winning run to give the Giants a 5-4 extra-inning win over Atlanta on Friday.
Matt Olson hit a two-run homer in an extra-inning loss to the Giants on Friday.
Hayden Birdsong went 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts while allowing two runs in his start against Atlanta on Friday and not factoring into the decision.
