FanDuel MLB DFS Advice 4/11/2019
Pitcher Lock
Jon Gray (COL) $8,500 @ SFG
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray has a great matchup against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The Giants offense has been horrible this year, and Gray has had a decent start. He has 14 strikeouts over his first two starts. He has given up eight runs, but five of those were against the Los Angeles Dodgers, so I’m going to give him a break on this one. They are a few other options up top that look decent including Steven Matz and Kevin Gausman, but I like Gray’s floor more.
Infielder Lock
(1B) Pete Alonso (NYM) $4,100 @ ATL
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has had a great year. He’s averaging 19.16 fantasy points per game and has scored over 24 in his last three games. He has now hit home runs in his last three games. I look for the entire Mets offense to do well against the Atlanta Braves. Braves starter Kevin Gausman had a great against Miami to open up his season, and it might lead to high ownership in a slate of unappealing pitching options. I think this will be a good chance to take risk and try to take down some GPP contests. I want to stack some Mets against a high owned pitcher which would result in a double win if those hitters do well.
Infielder Value
(SS) Freddy Galvis (TOR) $3,000 @ BOS
There are a ton of great options at the shortstop position. Javier Baez, Dansby Swanson and Trevor Story are the top three salary players in this slate. While any of those three could have a big game, I think there is more value at this position than any other on the slate. Freddy Galvis has been pretty consistent lately for the Toronto Blue Jays. He has gotten a hit in five straight games now, and is averaging 11.17 fantasy points per game. Galvis has a .333 average with eight RBI and three home runs. There’s nothing wrong with paying up at shortstop but I think you’ll find just as much success with the value here.
Outfielder Locks
Michael Conforto (NYM) $4,000 @ ATL
Hunter Renfroe (SDP) $3,700 @ ARI
