It’s Thursday and that means its time to win some sweet sweet DFS money. So let’s get right down to it and find some great values like Javier Baez (SS: $3,300) He’s been doing his thing which is hit bombs and steal bases. And the average ain’t half bad either. He’s on a roll right now so get him in your lineup and wave bye bye bye to the the competition.

Trevor Bauer, SP: $11,300 – I’m not a fan of his high price but he is positioned as the best pitching option today by a wide margin. His numbers should be gaudy but it will mean you need to hunt for bargains elsewhere to fill out your roster.
Drew Smyly, SP: $7,300 – Based on his recent trend of alternating boom and bust starts, he should be in for a bust. However, the bot it here to put your mind at ease and encourage you to scoop up a bargain.
Vince Velasquez, SP: $7,900 – Vinny V has posted three strong starts in a row and lines up to post another solid line today. Who knows, he may even throw the next no hitter. Everybody’s doing it.
Willson Contreras, C/1B: $2,900 – He may be a catcher but he’s got a power bat and recently has found himself in the leadoff spot. That should lead to more opportunities for him to put up points.
Ryan Zimmerman, C/1B: $2,600 – Your top projected first baseman comes in with a very reasonable price. That’s great news if you decided to roll with the immense upside that comes with Bauer’s sky high price.
Starlin Castro, 2B: $2,500 – He’s been swinging a solid, if unspectacular bat as his numbers don’t jump out and grab you. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be an asset for your DFS lineups today. His projections are looking mighty fine.
Ozzie Albies, 2B: $3,000 – This price feels low even though he’s not rocking a sexy average, in fact his season average is pretty ugly. Prior to his recent slide he was starting to heat up. He’s your number two option at the keystone today.
Kris Bryant, 3B: $3,400 – Hard to pass up the guy who is hands down the top projected option at the hot corner. Based on the bot’s projection and the numbers he’s been putting up he would be worth more than his current price. Take it and run.
Josh Harrison, 3B: $3,100 – I like what he’s been doing all season in points league formats. Fortunately, Fanduel uses a points system. He’s set up to keep doing his thing today.
Kevin Newman, SS: $2,500 – He’s your shortstop value play. You may not feel great about grabbing him but that doesn’t mean he won’t bolster your point totals.
Randy Arozarena, OF: $3,000 – It’s been all systems go on his hot streak. It’s great to see him turning it around and that should continue today.
Jesse Winker, OF: $3,600 – He is fire this season. The stats jump right off the page and his projection for today falls right in line.
Marcell Ozuna, OF: $3,100 – He may have burned you before this season but don’t look now he’s starting to find his groove at the plate.
I’m Only Happy When It Rains
Lets see what mother nature has in store for us today. No precipitation is expected, just some clouds. Winds shouldn’t be too much of an issue either outside of Red Sox and Jays which could see 20+ MPH gusts blowing in from left field.
Doing Lines In Vegas
Vegas is expecting a slugfest between the Cubbies and Nats and Jays and Red Sox. I would be looking to stack bats from any of those offenses.
