A loaded day/night slate is set to go on Saturday’s diamond, but don’t get carried away with the limitless possibilities to add to your roster.
Finding value is one of the main components at being successful in putting together lucrative daily fantasy baseball rosters; here’s our take on a couple to snag and one to stay far away from for today.
“VALUE PICKS FOR SATURDAY MLB”

|
|---|---|---|
| Casey Kotchman | $3,100 | $7,771 |
The Tribe’s been ripping the cover off the ball on their current road trip averaging 7.3 runs per game after coming back to beat the Mariners in the 9th on Thursday. Oakland does possess one of the better pitching staffs in the league, but so far, Brandon McCarthy’s proved to be a weak link. He’s given up 30 hits (3 HR) and 13 runs through 25 total innings, and has allowed lefties to tag him for a .345 average and .500 slugging percentage. Cleveland’s lefty heavy line-up could have a field day here, but it’ll cost you plenty to get the big boppers in your daily fantasy MLB line-up. Instead, look the way of Casey Kotchman whose hit him hard in 15 career at-bats (.467) and comes at a reduced price.

| Jose Tabata | $3,200 | $3,372 |
Clint Hurdle has been forced to bench Jose Tabata this past week with his leftfielder getting out to a nightmarish start to his 2012 campaign. In 36 overall trips to the dish, “Tabs” has only hit safely four times, walked once, and struck out eight times. That said; he just might be able to reintroduce himself to the basepaths in this spot running up against Jake Westbrook who’s failed to win any of his four career starts against the Buccos (0-3) while giving up 33 hits (2 HR) and 18 ER through 29.2 total innings pitched. Tabata has hit safely four of the nine times he’s faced him with a double, triple, and four RBI. With his daily fantasy salary plummeting due to current form, he’s a solid add to throw in your outfield if you plan on drafting any of the top tiered players at that position.
“NOT WORTH THE PRICE TAG”
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Chase Headley | $4,000 | $8,408 |
Chase Headley has been scorching hot this past week amassing in the neighborhood of 30 fantasy points for his roster holders. In doing so, his daily fantasy baseball salary has skyrocketed. Keep in mind though, San Diego is still horrendous offensively and he will come back down to earth eventually. It might just occur this evening versus Roy Halladay whom Headley has hit safely against only twice in 11 tries (singles) with three Ks. Match-up and price force us to pull the reigns Saturday night!
