July 28, 2024

Today, we have a 10-game MLB slate on DraftKings, starting at 1:35 p.m. ET. Check out my favorite players at each position, value plays, and stacks! Our partners at DFSHero.com provide us access to their lineup optimizer and AI simulator, which we use to provide you with the best DFS plays daily!
SP:
- Garrett Crochet, White Sox (DK: $10,300 | FD: $10,100)
- Bailey Ober, Twins (DK: $8,500 | FD: $9,700)
- Tobias Myers, Brewers (DK: $8,200 | FD: $7,700)
Notes:
The DFS Hero Optimizer projects Crochet to lead all pitchers in scoring. They also project Ober and Myers to have top 4 value.
Stacks
- Baltimore Orioles vs. San Diego Padres
- Philadelphia Phillies vs. Cleveland Guardians
- Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago Cubs
- Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Houston Astros
Notes:
The Optimizer projects the Orioles, Phillies, and Royals to all score more than 5 runs. They also project a Dodger stack to have the most value.
C:
- William Contreras, Brewers (DK: $5,000 | FD: $3,300)
- Travis d’Arnaud, Braves (DK: $3,800 | FD: $2,900)
Notes:
I think Contreras will have a solid game. The Optimizer projects him as the second-highest-scoring catcher. d’Arnaud is a cheaper option who can hit a home run.
1B:
- Vinny Pasquantino, Royals (DK: $4,800 | FD: $2,900)
- Paul Goldschmidt, Cardinals (DK: $4,500 | FD: $2,900)
Notes:
I am looking for mid-level to bargain pricing at first base. I love Pasquantino today as I am playing his prop plays over. The optimizer projects that both of these first basemen finish in the top 5 in first-base scoring.
2B:
- Marcus Semien, Rangers (DK: $5,000 | FD: $3,400)
- Xander Bogaerts, Padres (DK: $3,900 | FD: $2,900)
Notes:
The Optimizer projects Semien as the highest-scoring second baseman and Bogaerts as having the most value.
3B:
- Jose Ramirez, Guardians (DK: $6,000 | FD: $3,900)
- Alex Bregman, Astros (DK: $4,300 | FD: $3,400)
Notes:
I am also playing over on Ramirez props today. Bregman has 14 plus points in three straight games.
SS:
- Bobby Witt Jr., Royals (DK: $6,400 | FD: $4,300)
- Gunnar Henderson, Orioles (DK: $6,200 | FD: $4,200)
Notes:
Shortstop is the one position that I consistently spend up for. Witt and Henderson have plus matchups and could be the top-scoring players on the slate.
OF:
- Yordan Alvarez, Astros (DK: $5,700 | FD: $3,800)
- Anthony Santander, Orioles (DK: $5,100 | FD: $3,900)
- Luis Robert, White Sox (DK: $4,800 | FD: $3,300)
- Seiya Suzuki, Cubs (DK: $4,500 | FD: $3,300)
Notes:
I think these outfielders score double digits today.
Value Players:
- 2B Brooks Baldwin, White Sox (DK: $2,200 | FD: $2,200)
- OF Ramon Laureano, Braves (DK: $2,600 | FD: $2,400)
- OF Garrett Mitchell, Brewers (DK: $2,900 | FD: $2,500)
- 1B Josh Bell, Marlins (DK: $3,100 | FD: $2,800)
- OF Hunter Renfroe. Royals (DK: $3,400 | FD: $2,700)
- SS Dansby Swanson (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,600)
- 3B Jake Burger, Marlins (DK: $3,600 | FD: $2,700)
- SP Spencer Arrighetti, Astros (DK: $7,000 | FD: No Play)
- SP David Peterson, Mets (DK: $7,200 | FD: $7,900)
Notes:
The Optimizer projects these players to be among the best values at their positions. It would be smart to play both Bell and Burger in lineups that do not have SP Tobias Myers in them.
