MLB Hitter Cheat Sheet (4/25/16): Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Picks

You don't need an expert to tell you to play Andrew McCutchen tonight against a weak left-handed pitcher at Coors. It is much more difficult, however, to sift through the cheap DFS options for the right value plays that can help you fit in the studs you want and put your lineup over the top.

That is the purpose of this article -- to provide you with the best value hitters available each day.

Today I'll be bringing you seven value hitters for MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball on FanDuel and DraftKings for April 25th, 2016. Let's get started!

 

DFS Hitters - Lineup Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings

1. Josh Harrison, 2B, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $3,900, DraftKings Price: $4,700

DraftKing's dynamic pricing may over-correct some when it comes to games at Coors, but Harrison is an excellent value play on FanDuel. His opponent on the mound today is left-handed pitcher Jorge De La Rosa, who boasts a career 4.28 SIERA.

Harrison has improved his slash lines across the board against lefties, and should contribute to the 5.6 runs Pittsburgh is projected to score tonight.

 

2. Mark Reynolds, 1B, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $3,300; DraftKings Price: $4,500

The Rockies are projected to score 5.9 runs tonight against lefty Jeff Locke. Locke posted a 4.18 SIERA last season and struggled mightily to contain right-handed batters. Reynolds has crushed left-handed pitching in his career, posting significant improvements in all areas -- especially his power numbers. It's hard to justify his price on DraftKings, but he is a terrific value on FanDuel.

 

3. Ryan Raburn, OF, Colorado Rockies

FanDuel Price: $3,500, DraftKings Price: $4,000

Rayburn is in the same boat as Reynolds, except he'll be hitting a bit lower in the lineup. Rayburn should always be on your radar when he is playing at home against weak lefties, and tonight certainly qualifies.

 

4. Nomar Mazara, OF, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,300, DraftKings Price: $3,500

The rookie phenom has been better than advertised so far this season, hitting .356, and he launched his second homer in 45 at-bats last night. He is hitting near the top of the Rangers' lineup, and continues to be severely underpriced on both sites.

He is facing right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who has been worse against lefties throughout his career. Vegas has Texas projected for 4.1 runs , and Mazara should be a big part of them reaching that total.

 

5. Ezequiel Carrera, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: $3,100, DraftKings Price: $2,400

Carrera has played exceptionally since taking over as the leadoff man for Toronto, and has 54 FanDuel points in his last two games. He displayed some power last night, too, clubbing his first homer of the season.

Make sure he is still hitting leadoff for Toronto -- but if so, he is a must-play at his salary on DraftKings. The Jays have the highest implied team total of any team not playing at Coors tonight, and a big part of that is their matchup against righty Miguel Gonzalez. Gonzalez has pitched poorly to lefties in his career, which puts Carrera in position to keep putting up big fantasy point totals.
