FREE 7/4 MLB Cheat Sheet: Tops DFS Plays
July 4, 2024

Today, we have a 4-game MLB slate on DraftKings starting at 7:20 p.m. ET. Check out my favorite players at each position, value plays, and stacks! Our partners at DFSHero.com provide us with access to their lineup optimizer and AI simulator, which we use to provide you with the best DFS plays every day!
SP:
Charlie Morton, Braves (DK: $8,700 | FD: $8,800)
Logan Webb, Giants (DK: $8,300 | FD: $9,300)
Notes: The simulator projects Webb to be the highest-scoring pitcher on the slate, with Morton right behind him.
Stacks:
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Colorado Rockies
Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Kansas City Royals
Notes: The previous two games at Coors Field have gone under the projected totals but I would expect some fireworks tonight. The optimizer projects the Brewers and Rockies to score the most runs but also projects the Rays as the best stack value. I think a mixture of all three teams will make the best lineups.
C:
William Contreras, Brewers (DK: $6,300 | FD: $3,800)
Elias Diaz, Rockies (DK: $4,400 | FD: $3,200)
Notes: The optimizer projects Contreras as the top-scoring catcher, and he can dominate the slate. Diaz is projected to be the best value for catchers priced over 4K.
1B:
Rhys Hoskins, Brewers (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,400)
Yandy Diaz, Rays (DK: $4,000 | FD: $3,000)
Notes: Diaz and Hoskins are ranked 2 and 3, respectively, in first base value.
2B:
Brice Turang, Brewers (DK: $5,500 | FD: $3,800)
Brendan Rodgers, Rockies (DK: $4,200 | FD: $3,100)
Notes: I am sticking with the Coors Field theme because I think one of these players will have an outstanding night. Turang is my favorite spend-up player on the slate.
3B:
Matt Chapman, Giants (DK: $4,500 | FD: $3,100)
Isaac Paredes, Rays (DK: $4,200 | FD: $3,300)
Notes: The optimizer projects Paredes to score the most points at third base and Chapman third.
SS:
Bobby Witt Jr., Royals (DK: $6,100 | FD: $4,300)
Willy Adames, Brewers (DK: $5,400 | FD: $3,900)
Notes: Witt and Adames are the top two projected scorers at shortstop, and I think both will score double-digits tonight.
OF:
Chrisitan Yelich, Brewers (DK: $6,200 | FD: $4,500)
Corbin Carroll, Diamondbacks (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,100)
Randy Arozarena, Rays (DK: $4,100 | FD: $3,000)
Garrett Mitchell, Brewers (DK: $4,100 | FD: $3,000)
Notes: The optimizer has these outfielders projected top six in scoring giving the mid-priced players tremendous value.
Value Players:
SS Taylor Walls, Rays (DK: $2,600 | FD: $2,600)
OF Jose Siri, Rays (DK: $3,300 | FD: $3,000)
C Sean Murphy, Braves (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,700)
2B Brandon Lowe, Rays (DK: $3,800 | FD: $3,000)
SP Zach Eflin, Rays (DK: $7,200 | FD: $8,400)
Notes: The optimizer projects these players to be top three in value at their positions. The Rays match with the optimizer’s best stack value, and Murphy would give you huge leverage if he has a solid night.
