Best Pitchers
Nestor Cortes, NYY vs. CWS ($10,600) – The New York Yankees starter is the most expensive pitcher on the slate, and he’s had an incredible start to 2022. Nestor Cortes had a breakout season last year and has a 1.35 ERA on his first seven starts this season.
Eric Lauer, MIL vs. WAS ($10,400) – Milwaukee Brewers starter Eric Lauer is having another solid season in his second year in their rotation. He is coming off his worst start of 2022, allowing 4 runs in 5 innings, but he has a 2.60 ERA heading into the No. 7 start.
Top Hitters
Aaron Judge, NYY vs. CWS ($6,100) – The Yankees star leads the major leagues with 14 home runs in 2022, and he’s in the top five with 30 RBIs. Aaron Judge had 4 hits and 2 homers in a win over the Baltimore Orioles earlier this week.
Byron Buxton, MIN vs. KC ($6,000) –The Minnesota Twins outfielder doesn’t hit for a good .245 average, but Byron Buxton has hit for power with 11 homers and 20 RBIs this season with the third-most homers in MLB.
Pitcher of value
Chase Silseth, LAA vs. OAK ($7,800) – You can get Los Angeles Angels starter Chase Silseth on the cheap in his second career start. Starting 1, he pitched 6 scoreless innings and allowed just one hit against the Oakland Athletics last week.
Value hitter
Freddie Freeman, LAD vs. PHI ($5,200) – The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman continues to prove to be a fantastic addition this offseason. Even with a rather hefty price tag, Freddie Freeman deserves to be added to your roster with 7 hits and 6 RBIs in his last 16 at-bats in the previous four games.
