Today, we have a 5-game MLB slate on DraftKings, starting at 7:15 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:

• Dylan Cease, Padres (DK: $10,200 | FD: $9,900)
• George Kirby, Mariners (DK: $9,600 | FD: $10,000)

I think tonight we must pay up for pitching—the Optimizer projects Cease and Kirby to be the top two scoring pitchers on the slate.

Stacks

• St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs
• Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Toronto Blue Jays
• Toronto Blue Jays vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

The Optimizer projects both the Cardinals and Diamondbacks to score over 4 runs. I like the Diamondbacks the most. A Blue Jays stack has the most projected value.

C:

• Cal Raleigh, Mariners (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,100)
• Mitch Garver, Mariners (DK: $4,000 | FD: $2,800)

I like both Mariner catchers, and the Optimzer ranks them as the two top-scoring catchers. Raleigh has been in multiple winning lineups as he has put up monster numbers this week.

1B:

• Christian Walker, Diamondbacks (DK: $5,200 | FD: $3,700)
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,200)

I think we must have one of these players at first base tonight. One, if not both, will hit a home run.

2B:

• Ketel Marte, Diamondbacks (DK: $5,400 | FD: $3,600)
• Nico Hoerner, Cubs (DK: $4,100 | FD: N/A)

Marte is projected to be the top-scoring second baseman. I like him or Estrada tonight.

3B:

• Manny Machado, Padres (DK: $5,200 | FD: $3,300)
• Matt Chapman, Giants (DK: $4,600 | FD: $3,100)

Chapman is projected to be the top-scoring third baseman and has the most value for players priced over 4 K.

SS:

• J.P. Crawford, Mariners (DK: $4,400 | FD: $2,900)
• Masyn Winn, Cardinals (DK: $4,200 | FD: N/A)

Crawford is projected to be the second-most valued shortstop on the slate behind Geraldo Perdomo. Since I never play Perdomo, it is Crawford.

OF:

• Julio Rodriguez, Mariners (DK: $5,200 | FD: $3,200)
• Corbin Carroll, Diamondbacks (DK: $4,700 | FD: $3,000)
• Sieya Suzuki, Cubs (DK: $4,700 | FD: N/A)
• Joc Pederson, Diamondbacks (DK: $4,600 | FD: $2,900)

They all score double-digits tonight, with Carroll and Rodriguez pushing for 20-plus points.

Value Players:

• OF Pete Crow-Armstrong. Cubs (DK: $2,800 | FD: N/A)
• 1B Ty France, Mariners (DK: $3,400 | FD: $2,600)
• 3B Eugenio Suarez, Diamondbacks (DK: $3,400 | FD: $2,800)
• 2B Jorge Polanco, Mariners (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,500)
• SS Dansby Swanson, Cubs (DK: $3,500 | FD: N/A)
• OF Daulton Varsho, Blue Jays (DK: $3,500 | FD: $2,900)
• 2B Thairo Estrada, Giants (DK: $3,600 | FD: $2,600)
• SP Hayden Birdsong, Giants (DK: $6,300 | FD: No Play)

These players are in the top 10 projected values according to the DFS Hero Optimizer. I love Polanco and Estrada tonight.
