Zach Thompson dives into Tuesday’s featured fantasy baseball slate on DraftKings to find MLB DFS Value Picks to put in your lineups.

Tuesday night features 10 games on the main MLB DFS slate, which begins at 7:10 p.m. ET. The Cubs and Brewers will try to play a doubleheader for the second day in a row, with Game 2 of the twin bill as one of the contests on the main slate. That’s one of the five divisional games on the main slate, which also includes an NL West matchup between the Dodgers and Rockies at Coors Field. With 20 teams in the player pool, several star players are in smash spots and worth considering for your roster. If you’re having trouble squeezing your favorite plays under the salary cap, check out these bargain options with low salaries, who also bring high ceilings. These three plays stand out as strong MLB DFS value picks on Tuesday’s slate.

As always at this time of year, it pays to double-check the weather before first pitch to avoid any delay or postponement issues. There is some potential rain in the forecast in Tampa Bay and Colorado, but at this point, it looks like the games have a good chance of being played. The weather will be favorable for offense in Denver, Atlanta and Anaheim, but the wind will be blowing in at Wrigley for the second game of the doubleheader.

Check out the full range of MLB coverage from the team at DraftKings Network, since these bargains are just one piece of the MLB DFS picture to consider.

SP Emmet Sheehan, Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies, $6,700

The Dodgers lost the series opener in Colorado, but they’ll look to bounce back on Tuesday night by giving the ball to Sheehan, who has shown a high ceiling but has also been inconsistent in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. Sheehan was a top prospect with a high strikeout rate before the injury, and he has gone 3-2 in his eight games since returning to the majors this season. He has a 3.86 ERA and 3.23 FIP to go with 37 strikeouts in 35 innings. He worked his way up to 91 pitches in his last start, so he should be fairly stretched out and ready to pitch as long as needed on Tuesday.

He only earned 9.05 fantasy points in that most recent start, though, since the Angels reached him for five runs on five hits in his five innings. He had six strikeouts in that game and has at least five strikeouts in four straight appearances. He had over 15 fantasy points in each of his three previous starts, including a season-high 22.25 fantasy points against the Cardinals just before his rough outing against Anaheim.

Sheehan is high-risk on Tuesday night because of the Coors Field factor, but the Rockies’ offense is enough of a favorable matchup that he still brings a very high ceiling. The Rockies have the second-highest K% in the majors this year and have averaged 8.0 strikeouts per game since the All-Star break while averaging 4.7 runs per game.

2B/OF Austin Martin, Minnesota Twins vs. Athletics, $2,800

Martin played 93 games with the Twins last year but spent the first few months of 2025 in the minors until the Twins sold off multiple players at the trade deadline. Martin returned to the team on Aug. 1, and he has been a regular starter, especially against lefties. He hit leadoff on Thursday and Saturday but didn’t start on Friday or Sunday.

After hitting .306 in Triple-A, Martin is hitting .267 (12-for-45) with a double, a triple, a home run and two stolen bases over his first 15 games in the majors. Martin is averaging 5.2 fantasy points per game, but that is skewed a little bit since several of those games came as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or defensive replacement. He has at least six fantasy points in each of his last five games with multiple plate appearances. If he is hitting leadoff against lefty Jacob Lopez ($8,200), he’ll be an awesome value for under $3K.

OF Dylan Beavers, Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox, $2,300

Beavers is barely over the minimum salary but he brings good upside against Walker Buehler ($5,500) and the Red Sox. In Triple-A this year, Beavers hit .304 with 18 homers, 23 stolen bases and a .415 wOBA. Over the last two years, Beavers is 54-for-62 in stolen base attempts since the beginning of 2024 and brings some solid power as well.

On Monday, he reached base in each of his four plate appearances, going 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks. He’s 4-for-11 (.364) with a double and a .427 wOBA in his three games since his promotion, and he brings an extremely high upside with both power and speed potential Monday in Boston.
