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

Major League Baseball has a strong 10-game slate on tap for Tuesday, with Wild Card races and divisional races heating up as summer winds down. With 20 teams in the player pool, there are multiple ways to start building your roster. Whether you start with superstars with big salaries or a big stack like the Blue Jays at Coors Field, you may need to balance out big-salary options with some lower-priced options in other spots on your roster. If you’re in the market for bargain options with high upside, check out these three MLB DFS value picks. Each one is set up to outproduce their minimal salaries.

As always at this time of year, it pays to double-check the weather before the first pitch to avoid any delay or postponement issues. The 10 games look mostly clear this Tuesday, with Atlanta as the primary potential trouble spot. Especially with all the new-look lineups coming out of the trade deadline, be sure to double-check that your MLB DFS value picks are in the lineup and in the slot in the batting order that you expect before the contests begin this Tuesday.

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 Yu Darvish, San Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, $6,100

Darvish is the second-cheapest starting pitcher on the board on Tuesday, and he brings an incredibly high ceiling after making a mechanical tweak that resulted in a superb outing last Wednesday against the Mets. Darvish had struggled since rejoining the Padres’ rotation after right elbow inflammation landed him on the 60-day injured list to start the season. He turned it around, though, by adjusting his arm angle and going back to mechanics he used earlier in his career.

The results were instant and impressive. He struck out seven in seven shutout innings while allowing just two hits and no walks on his way to 32.55 fantasy points and his first win of the season. While it remains to be seen if his adjustment will lead to sustained success, he’s too cheap to pass up based on the upside he showed in that last start.

He also gets a solid matchup against the Diamondbacks, who sold off big pieces of their lineup at the trade deadline. I’ve been hyping Tyler Locklear ($2,600), who I still love as a value play and future contributor, but Darvish should be able to hold the new-look young Diamondbacks in check on Tuesday if he can carry over his momentum from his last outing.

1B/2B Lenyn Sosa, Chicago White Sox vs. Seattle Mariners, $2,900

The White Sox have actually looked like a legitimate Major League offense over the last few weeks, and Sosa has been one of the key contributors to their recent surge. The 25-year-old is still improving, but has picked up his production and is well on his way to a career year. He played 100 games last season and has surpassed almost all his totals in just 95 games this season. He’s hitting .281 with 11 homers and 43 RBI along with a .321 wOBA, which is a huge improvement on his .254 average and .280 wOBA last season.

Over his last nine games, Sosa has been even better, settling into the second spot in the White Sox order and going 14-for-31 (.452) with a double, two home runs and nine RBI in those nine games. He’s averaging 10.4 fantasy points per game over that nine-game stretch, and has at least nine fantasy points in five of his last six contests.

Sosa brings nice positional flexibility at either first base or second base, depending on what makes sense with your roster construction. He is in a potentially tough matchup in Seattle against Bryan Woo ($10,400), but Woo has given up multiple runs in four straight starts, allowing 14 runs over that span. Sosa brings enough current form to the matchup to still be a very strong play under $3,000 on Tuesday’s slate.

OF Brandon Lockridge, Milwaukee Brewers at Atlanta Braves, $2,100

With Jackson Chourio (hamstring) on the injured list, Lockridge has been pressed right into the Brewers’ starting lineup. The Brewers acquired Lockridge at the trade deadline from the Padres in exchange for left-hander Nestor Cortes, and the 28-year-old has played all four games since joining Milwaukee, going 4-for-14 (.286) with three runs scored, three RBI, a stolen base, and an average of 8.8 fantasy points per game.

He could hit leadoff against lefty Joey Wentz ($7,100) if the weather holds off in Atlanta, and if he does, he’ll have elite value upside at the top of a productive lineup. Even if he hits lower in the lineup, Lockridge has good potential based on his good production at Triple-A this season. He hit .291 with a .391 wOBA for the Padres in El Paso with two homers, seven stolen bases and a 111 wRC+. While he struggled in the majors with the Padres, the Brewers seem to be unlocking his potential in the majors. At barely over the minimum salary, he’ll be an elite bargain option if he gets the start and the weather cooperates.
