Today is a huge day for daily fantasy baseball, as many sites are hosting massive games for DFS fantasy baseball gamers to get into. It’s a big day in general for season long fantasy baseball leagues, too, just like every day in September is as we creep closer to the 2015 MLB playoffs.
Let’s get to our top DFS sleepers for tonight’s MLB action:
Catcher: Russell Martin (Blue Jays)
Martin can be tough and go and the pitcher he’s facing tonight (Julio Teheran) can heat up on any given night, but few catchers can mix power and value like he can tonight. Martin just had a huge 2-homer night three games ago and could be in for another dinger tonight.
1B: Adrian Gonzalez (Dodgers)
Gonzo is just an awesome price and looks like a cheap play every in the DFS scene. He’s facing the Rockies at home, so the matchup is strong and he can always go yard.
2B: Robinson Cano (Mariners)
Cano has been heating up against recently and tonight he’s a solid value at home against the Angels. They’re sending Nick Tropeano to the mound and he’s been pretty bad for a while now. Cano could get you a homer but based off of his recent play you’re at least looking at a couple of hits.
3B: Justin Turner (Dodgers)
Same deal as Gonzo. Turner is at home, has a solid matchup and is a great value pick for tonight. He’s even turned it on a bit recently, too, so his game logs suggest he could be in for a decent outing.
SS: Corey Seager (Dodgers)
I’m not trying to pick on Chris Rusin. In fact, he’s not in the homer-inducing Coors Field, so it’s entirely possible this blows up in my face. But I’m liking Dodgers tonight – specifically due to their awesome value. That value isn’t lost on Seager, who is dirt cheap and has been on a nice run (hitting .432 on the year).
OF: Aaron Hicks (Twins)
Most of the top Minnesota power hitters can’t be acquired at value, but Hicks can. He’ll face the deplorable Alfredo Simon tonight and a jack isn’t too much to ask.
Not all of these DFS value buys will work out, but if you want elite pitching and you want a big bat like Bryce Harper (most expensive bat of the night), they’re certainly worth considering. Good luck!
