As we enter one of the final weeks of the MLB regular season, the time is now to figure out which players are the best options for daily fantasy baseball. Tuesday’s MLB action features a full slot of games, which allows fantasy owners to make some tough decisions when setting a daily fantasy baseball lineup.

Below is a table featuring the top three players at each position to put you in the right direction, followed by five players to consider when attempting to balance your DraftKings budget.

Value Picks

Marcus Stroman, SP, Toronto Blue Jays vs. Baltimore Orioles ($7,700)

Stroman has been sensational through just three starts this season for the Blue Jays. While he lacks professional experience, he has recorded a 3-0 record and a 1.89 ERA in 2015.

What’s been especially impressive about Stroman has been his ability to get out of jams early and often in games. The former Duke standout has left 86 percent of runners on base this season. He will face an Orioles team that ranks 24th in MLB with a .248 team batting average.

The Blue Jays are on the brink of clinching their first division title since 1993, and Stroman will play a huge role in helping the team move closer to that goal. He’s on a hot streak through just three starts this season and is a steal because of his reasonable current value.

Dee Gordon, 2B, Miami Marlins vs. Tampa Bay Rays ($4,200)

Gordon has been a pleasant surprise for the Marlins this season and has been one of the best hitters in baseball. The 27-year-old has recorded an impressive .371 batting average over his past 15 games and has carried the Marlins with star slugger Giancarlo Stanton sidelined with an injury.

Gordon has hit safely in seven of his past nine games played with three multihit games over the current span. The second baseman will aim to continue his hot hitting against struggling Rays starter Matt Moore, who has recorded a 2-4 record with a 6.48 ERA in 2015.

Gordon’s value has slipped dramatically since he suffered a thumb injury in mid-July, and it’s best to take advantage of his bargain price tag while you still can. His low value provides owners with budget flexibility and the ability to have an All-Star second baseman for a great asking price.

Adam Eaton, OF, Chicago White Sox vs. Kansas City Royals ($4,000)

Eaton has found a home with the White Sox and has played great since the All-Star break. The 26-year-old has recorded an astounding .355 batting average over his past 30 games played with a .381 batting average over his past 15 appearances.

The risk associated with Eaton has been his tendency to be too aggressive at the plate. The outfielder has struck out in nearly 20 percent of his at-bats this season while walking in just 9 percent of his plate appearances.

However, his aggressive hitting has paid off, as he has been arguably the hottest hitter for the White Sox as of late. Eaton and the White Sox will face Royals starter Johnny Cueto, who has struggled since joining the team at the trade deadline. Eaton’s low value makes him a bargain buy heading into Tuesday’s MLB action.

Kevin Pillar, OF, Toronto Blue Jays vs. Baltimore Orioles ($4,000)

The Blue Jays are stacked with offensive talent, and Pillar has been one of the players who have been talked about the least for Toronto. He has recorded a .392 batting average over his past 15 games played and leads all MLB positional players with a .520 batting average over his past seven appearances.

Pillar has also demonstrated great power hitting as of late. The 26-year-old has recorded a phenomenal .960 slugging percentage over his past seven games. He will have a great opportunity to continue his hot hitting against Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez, who has allowed 14 earned runs combined over his past three starts.

While Pillar’s recent streak may be an aberration, daily fantasy baseball owners should take advantage of his great offensive value as the postseason draws near.

Lucas Duda, 1B, New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies ($4,700)

Duda has helped lead the Mets to a postseason berth for the first time since 2006. The first baseman has also performed admirably as of late with a .300 batting average and a .900 slugging percentage over his past seven games.

Duda is a well-rounded hitter who always seems to make an impact for the Mets. He has recorded a .836 OPS this season and will face struggling Phillies starter David Buchanan on Tuesday. Buchanan has been atrocious this season with a 2-9 record and a 7.96 ERA.

Duda’s recent hitting streak combined with his favorable matchup against Buchanan and the Phillies sets him up for a huge performance on Tuesday. His low value makes him a great pick in a crowded field of first baseman options.
