MLB VALUE PLAYS                    5/8/15

IKE DAVIS - $3,900  1^st Base Oakland

The Oakland A’s play at home tonight versus Tajuan Walker.  When Walker is BAD, he might be the most hittable pitcher currently on an MLB roster.  Pretty much every A’s player is going to be played in DFS with the hopes that Walker gets shelled right out of the gate.  Davis is nicely priced tonight compared to all the other 1^st baseman on the slate.  Davis hit a HR last night and might be heating up.  It’s a nice lefty-righty matchup, and Davis has serious HR power and has a good shot at clearing the bases more than once tonight,  I’m not in love with any other 1^st baseman tonight, and I will save some money at the position to try to squeeze Matt Harvey of David Price in my lineup

 

David DeJesus -$3,800 OF Tampa

DeJesus is on a nice 4 game hitting streak, collecting 7 hits and only striking out once.    The rays face off against Gallardo and The Rangers tonight.  Gallardo is coming off three somewhat shaky starts in a row, and I assume that he will give up some hits and runs tonight.  Dejesus should bat somewhere in the top half of the order , and get 4 or 5 at bats.  DeJesus is 4 for 14 against Gallardo in his career with 2 doubles and a Home run. 

 

Jace Peterson - $2,300 2B Braves

Peterson is quietly TEARING IT UP the past 10 games.  He has hits in 9 out of 10 of those games and 14 hits all together.  He is seeing the ball well and The Braves, as a team, are starting to score runs and produce.  Gio Gonzalez takes the mound tonight against Atlanta.  Gio is a Lefthanded pitcher who is actually worse against left handed hitters.  Jace Peterson is a left handed hitter who is actually better against left handed pitchers, doesn’t happen very often, but at $2,300, and 2^nd base being weak tonight, I will take the value in Peterson and hope the stats don’t lie.
