Get ready for another Saturday of MLB action! It's a good day to pay a premium for pitching with a D-Backs' ace on the board. We'll be going cheap at pitcher and targeting some value Rays to allow us to fit in Luke Voit, Mookie Betts, and Cody Bellinger.

In this article, we'll identify players who will help you win a cash game and build your bankroll or take down a GPP for a big pay-day. Every player on this list is on one of my own FanDuel teams.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Kwang-Hyun Kim - STL @ PIT ($8,300)

Kwang-Hyun Kim has terrific surface stats with a 0.63 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 28.2 innings. While his peripheral stats - 3.40 FIP, 7.3 K-BB%, and 8.7 SwStr% are underwhelming, we need to ride this hot streak, as Kim has allowed only one unearned run in his last four starts (24 innings). Kim is doing a good job suppressing contact, as he's posted a 86th-percentile hard-hit rate. He has an exploitable matchup against the Pirates today.

Charle Morton - TB @ BAL ($7,600)

If you prefer to go even cheaper, Charlie Morton is a solid choice against an ice-cold Orioles lineup that has put up a .275 wOBA and 27.4 K% over the last seven days. While Morton has been mediocre since returning from injury, his strikeout-to-walk ratio (11 strikeouts, three walks in 11.1 innings) is solid, so perhaps today is the start of a strong finish. Morton's pitch count increased from 57 to 77 in his last start, so he should be ramped up to 90+ in this one.

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Luke Voit - 1B, NYY @ BOS ($4,500)

There's no way that we can pass up Luke Voit with the way that he's swinging the bat right now. The Yankees' slugger has slashed .313/.320/.771 with seven home runs in his last 50 plate appearances. He gets to feast on Red Sox pitching at Fenway, so we need to exploit this matchup. Voit takes on RHP Chris Mazza, who has pitched into the fifth inning in only one start this season.

Nate Lowe - 1B, TB @ BAL ($2,900)

Nate Lowe has played very well since returning to the Rays, slashing .282/.404/.564 with three home runs in 47 plate appearances. He goes up against Orioles' RHP Jorge Lopez, who is coming off a gem start (seven innings, one run) but has been poor overall, allowing 3rd-percentile exit velocity and 8th-percentile hard-hit rate, so he's really giving up hard contact.

Joey Wendle - 3B, TB @ BAL ($2,500)

Joey Wendle has hit safely in six of his last eight games, racking up one home run and three stolen bases during that span. He helps us save some money after paying up for Voit and Clevinger, making a nice pairing with Lowe. Fire up Wendle facing a mediocre pitcher who allows hard contact at the bandbox that is Camden Yards.

Josh Rojas - 2B, ARZ @ HOU ($2,200)

Josh Rojas is another punt play to allow us to fit in some higher-priced options. He's hit safely in six of his last eight games, a stretch where he put up 12+ FanDuel points three times. Rojas goes up against Astros' RHP Cristian Javier, who has been solid this year but is not a matchup to fear.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Mookie Betts - OF, LAD @ COL ($4,800)

Saving some money at pitcher and with our hitter punt plays allows us to fit in a mini-Dodgers stack at Coors. Mookie Betts is coming off a big game where he went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. He goes up against RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez in a mouth-watering matchup.

Cody Bellinger - OF, LAD @ COL ($4,400)

Cody Bellinger completes our Dodgers duo - he's coming off a game where he went 3-for-5 with one home run and three RBI. While this will be a chalky selection, we need to ride it because the matchup and ballpark is too good to pass up.

Yoshi Tsutsugo - OF, TB @ BAL ($2,700)

Yoshi Tsutsugo is another value Ray to play at Camden Yards. While his overall slash of .200/.314/.415 is underwhelming, he has posted a 83rd-percentile hard-hit rate, so at least he's generating solid contact. Tsutsugo is worth a look in a strong matchup.
