All 30 teams will take to the diamond on Friday which gives us a plethora of options to add to our roster, but the search for value remains of utmost importance.
With that the name of the daily fantasy baseball game, here’s a look at some players we’ll add and look to avoid on Friday.
“VALUE PICKS FOR FRIDAY MLB”

| Ryan Raburn | $3,000 | $4,831 |
Even though the Detroit Tigers have gotten out to an incredibly hot start, Ryan Raburn has once again followed his early season “MO” struggling at the plate. The notorious slow starter has hit safely in only three of his 37 overall at-bats, and will enter Friday night’s series opener hitting a dreadful .081 for the year. He has to start hitting soon or else Manager Jimmy Leyland might just bench him. No better time to get on the right track than against Matt Harrison whom he’s 8-for-12 (.667) against lifetime with two HR and seven RBI. With Cabrera and a hot Fielder expected to do their thing, ample daily fantasy scoring opportunities should arise for Raburn who’s currently being offered up at a discounted price.
Sometimes, you simply just have an opponent’s number and that’s exactly the case with Vernon Wells whenever he steps into the batter’s box to take his hacks against Orioles lefty Brian Matusz. He’s rocked Baltimore’s starting hurler for a HR, three doubles, a single and three RBI in six career at-bats (.833). Wells is notoriously known for being a batting average killer in Roto leagues, but the slugging outfielder can still hit the long ball evidenced by his 25 bombs a year ago and the three he’s already sent into the bleachers in the early goings of 2012. He’s the perfect value complement to any of the more expensive OFs you plan to add to your daily fantasy baseball roster for the night.
“NOT WORTH THE PRICE TAG”

| David Wright | $4,300 | $8,938 |
Whether it’s alive or Memorex, Barry Zito enters his third start of the season in exceptional form after giving up just 10 hits and three ERs with a K/BB ratio of 8/1 over the course of his first two starts against the Rockies and Pirates. He’s handled the Mets’ line-up pretty well throughout his career (3-2 with a 3.31 ERA & .235 BAA), and though David Wright has hit safely in each of the five games he’s played in since returning to the line-up, avoid drafting him tonight!
He’s demanding a top 3B salary these days, yet only has three singles and a double with 3 K & 3 BB in 14 career at-bats versus the Giants lefty.
