Griffin Wong dives into Friday’s 13-game featured MLB slate to find players to use in your DraftKings lineups.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox added another installment to their classic rivalry last night with a nail-biting, nationally-televised affair and set the stage for what should be an epic four-game set.

But the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is far from the only great series on offer for this weekend. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will also battle it out for first in the NL West as part of tonight’s 13-game featured DFS slate on DraftKings. Here are two pitchers, three infielders, and three outfielders I’m targeting from tonight’s baseball action.

PITCHER

Stud

Nathan Eovaldi, Texas Rangers vs. Cleveland Guardians, $10,300 – Eovaldi’s ridiculous run finally came to an end on August 11, when he conceded five runs in five innings (0.65 FPTS), but he bounced back six days later with a seven-inning, two-run (24.75-FPT) effort against the Toronto Blue Jays, and overall, he’s had a 1.46 ERA over the last four months. If he can shut down the Blue Jays’ high-powered offense, the Guardians should be no problem for him; they’ve had the league’s third-lowest OPS in August. He has no real weaknesses, but does tend to give up a few too many barrels — a category in which Cleveland ranks second-to-last league-wide.

Value

Zebby Matthews, Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox, $7,700 – I haven’t always been high on Matthews, but he’s proven me wrong, recording 20 or more FPTS in three of his last five games, which is a higher ceiling than you’d typically get from a pitcher of this price point. The 25-year-old hasn’t yet found game-to-game consistency at the MLB level, but his 4.06 expected ERA is a full run lower than his actual mark. The White Sox, too, have been inconsistent, scoring 10 or more runs twice in their past seven games and two or fewer in their other five. After a hot midseason stretch, they’ve fallen back to earth, losing 13 of their past 16 games.

INFIELDER

Stud

Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres, $5,000 – Though Los Angeles has been floundering and managed just a series split against the woeful Colorado Rockies, Freeman has been excellent. The 35-year-old has put up four double-digit fantasy efforts in his last five games and is averaging 9.7 FPTS per game overall over his last 10. Plus, Yu Darvish ($6,200) isn’t the pitcher he used to be, as he’s given up three or more earned runs in two of his past three starts and five of his last seven. He’s also allowed an .822 OPS to lefties this season, and Freeman has posted an .888 mark against righties.

Stud

Brice Turang, Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Francisco Giants, $4,400 – Turang has been the linchpin for the league’s best team since the All-Star break. Across that span, he’s posted a .953 OPS and averaged 10.1 FPTS per game, making him a bargain at his salary. Although he’s been far worse against lefties than righties, Carson Whisenhunt ($8,000) has yet to complete the sixth inning in his career, so Turang should have multiple at-bats against the Giants’ slumping bullpen, which features just two lefties, one of whom featured last night.

Value

Carlos Correa, Houston Astros at Baltimore Orioles, $3,700 – Correa has been spectacular since returning to Houston, posting an .854 OPS and averaging 7.9 FPTS per game, and while much of that production (seven double-digit fantasy efforts) came in his first nine games with the team, he did have a two-hit game last night. He should feel good about his chances against Cade Povich ($6,000), who has posted a 6.05 ERA in eight home starts this season. Correa has also posted an .858 OPS against southpaws, and though that’s nullified somewhat by Povich’s reverse splits, Camden Yards is a relatively hitter-friendly venue.

OUTFIELDER

Stud

George Springer, Toronto Blue Jays at Miami Marlins, $5,000 – I’m going for another member of that 2017 Astros championship team with Springer, who’s been white-hot for a Blue Jays team that is closing in on one of the two byes in the American League playoffs. In his last 10 games, Springer has slashed .366/.447/.683 (13 FPTS per game), homering in three of his past four games. He has a friendly matchup in Ryan Gusto ($7,000), who, despite a solid debut for the Marlins on August 9, is prone to giving up pulled fly balls at above-average rates. 55% of Gusto’s pitches have been either four-seam fastballs or sinkers, and Springer has a hard-hit rate north of 50% against both pitches.

Stud

Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cincinnati Reds, $4,400 – Since Gurriel doesn’t hit for a great average and Zack Littell ($7,600) isn’t an awful pitcher, this is a boom-or-bust play. In recent weeks, though, the Cuban has been booming, hitting three long balls in his last eight games and averaging 9.7 FPTS overall in his last 10. Only one pitcher this season has given up more home runs this season than Littell’s 27, and his only real strength — avoiding walks — isn’t exactly one of Gurriel’s, anyway. Littell has allowed 19 homers in 14 road starts, while Gurriel has averaged 0.6 more FPTS at home.

Value

Jhostynxon Garcia, Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees, $2,000 – Admittedly, I just wanted to include him because I wanted to challenge myself to write out his name, but there’s no reason the Red Sox would’ve called him up now if they didn’t plan on playing him, right? The 22-year-old is ready, playing 66 games for Triple-A Worcester this season and slashing .303/.367/.564, including a .964 OPS against left-handed pitchers and a 1.002 OPS in the last 28 days. He shouldn’t immediately be expected to replicate that production at the MLB level, but Max Fried ($9,500) has posted a 6.80 ERA (9.4 FPTS per game) across his last eight starts, and any production is a bargain at 4% of the salary cap.
