MLB DFS 3/30/18: Bottom of the Barrel MLB Opening Day weekend (FanDuel & Draftkings)

Well that was fun! Let’s do it again 161 more times! The excitement is still rolling, it’ll last well past the weekend. Let’s all sit back, strap in and enjoy the ride!

Funny how we take things for granted. Both in real life and in our daily fantasy lives. We spend so much time wishing and hoping for one said event, then when its upon us we lose site of all the excitement!

Let’s take this weekend to stop and smell the roses. Let’s not look ahead to the work week. Leave all your stresses behind. Let’s relax, sit back and enjoy baseball this weekend. Both real life and fantasy.

This evening we have a nice compliment of those secondary pitchers. Sometimes paying up for that ace is must, sometimes it’s not. If you’re looking to pay up else where look at these SPs…

Pitchers

Sean Manaea OAK vs LAA (FD-$7,300)(DK-$7,300)

He’s had a good spring, he’s been working with Lucroy at catcher. Time for results!

Blake Snell TB vs BOS (FD-$6,700)(DK-$6,800)

The lefty looks to have figured a few things out this spring. I’m excited for this kid!

Jhoulys Chacin MIL @ SDP (FD-$6,400)(DK-$6,600)

Revenge game? Check! Awesome ERA at Petco Park? Check!

Catcher/1st Base

Not sure how I feel about this C/1B slot yet but until I figure it out here’s what I have…

Marwin Gonzalez HOU @ TEX (FD-$2,800)(DK-$3,800)

He’s a super utility guy with a prime spot in an awesome Houston lineup!

Ian Desmond COL @ ARZ (FD-$2,700)(DK-$3,700)

Brian McCann HOU @ TEX (FD-$2,300)(DK-$3,400)

Chris Iannetta COL @ ARZ (FD-$2,200)(DK-$3,600)

He went 3-4 yesterday after a great spring, lets keep it going!

2nd Base

A lot of value to be found at second base this evening, this is what I’m looking at…

Ozzie Albies ATL @ PHI (FD-$2,900)(DK-$3,600)

We all knew this kid was coming in hot. What did he do yesterday? Hit a home run. Last call on prices this cheap!

DJ LeMahieu COL @ ARZ (FD-$2,800)(DK-$4,200)

DJ is always a solid batting average guy, the home runs are even sweeter! Too cheap for the base hit potential here.

Joe Panik SF @ LAD (FD-$2,200)(DK-$3,100)

Batting second in a newer and improved lineup is always nice!

Jed Lowrie OAK vs LAA (FD-$2,500)(DK-$3,500)

3rd Base

Third base tonight is short and sweet. Few guys we plug in that can only help.

Matt Chapman OAK vs LAA (FD-$2,700)(DK-$3,900)

Kid has all the tools to be a stud. Skaggs does not scare me AT ALL!

Evan Longoria SFG @ LAD (FD-$2,600)(DK-$3,500)

He once again finds himself hitting in the heart of an order.

Zack Cosart LAA @ OAK (FD-$3,000)(DK-$4,000)

Batting leadoff in front of Trout and Upton alone are enough to roster him!

Short Stop

Short stop this evening is nothing crazy…

Trevor Story COL @ ARZ (FD-$3,000)(DK-$4,200)

Risky, but high upside kind of guy.

Marcus Semien OAK vs LAA (FD-$2,900)(DK-$3,600)

I know this is DFS but I see him having a monster season overall.

Orlando Arcia MIL @ SDP (FD-$2,300)(DK-$3,300)

Turned things up later this spring, facing a rookie pitcher tonight.

Outfield

Outfield will always be a treasure trove of guys we can choose from. From the most expensive to the cheapest. All about balance here.

Josh Reddick HOU @ TEX (FD-$2,900)(DK-$3,500)

When he’s in the lineup he hits. He is the primary right fielder in an awesome HOU lineup. Dirt cheap!

Brett Gardner NYY @ TOR (FD-$2,800)(DK-$3,900)

Have you seen this lineup? I want a piece of it anyway I can!

Carlos Gonzalez COL @ ARZ (FD-$2,800)(DK-$3,900)

He’s baaaaack! Dahl is going to eventually replace him. Father time is undefeated right? Until then, if he’s in the order he’s worth a look.

Utility

The UTIL spot is yours to decide, we all spend our money differently. Choose wisely my friends!

Well there you have it! Bottom of the Barrel for Friday 3/30/18.

Happy Friday! I will be stopping to take the entire weekend in. Smelling the roses. Eating all the hot dogs. Eating the Easter candy!

Here’s what I’m working with today…
