Identifying the top high salary and value outfielder plays from around Major League Baseball for your July 6 DraftKings lineup.
Our goal is to help you win DraftKings contests with consistently strong lineups. To accomplish that, we’ll be highlighting some higher salary players worth paying up for, and some value picks that will help you save salary in key areas. These picks are specifically for DraftKings lineups, so all references to prices and fantasy points are based on DK figures.
As always, be sure to double-check final MLB lineups and monitor weather situations before locking in your DFS lineups.
High Salary
Mookie Betts, Red Sox (5,500): Betts has at least one hit in his last seven games and 12 of his last 13 games overall. He’s been particularly hot on Boston’s recent home stand, going a combined 11-for-24 over five games. He’s 2-for-3 in his career against Texas Rangers starter Martin Perez (7-4, 3.39 ERA), so Betts should remain hot on Wednesday.
Bryce Harper, Nationals (5,300): While Betts has seemingly been on a hot streak the entire season, the reigning National League MVP has battled bouts of inconsistency. He appears to be heating up, though. Harper’s hit safely in six of his last eight games, a stretch that includes two home runs. He’s a strong play Wednesday against Milwaukee Brewers veteran starter Matt Garza (1-1, 3.74 ERA).
High Value
Corey Dickerson, Rays (3,500): The lefty-hitting Dickerson usually makes for a decent GPP play against right-handed pitching, but that’s especially true Wednesday against Los Angeles Angels veteran Jered Weaver (6-7, 5.51 ERA). All 13 of Dickerson’s home runs this season have come against righties. He could make it 14 on Wednesday against Weaver.
Brett Gardner, Yankees (3,500): Gardner has played well on the Yankees’ recent road trip, collecting seven hits over his last four games. He should be able to keep that momentum going Wednesday in Chicago, when New York faces right-hander Miguel Gonzalez (1-4, 4.88 ERA). Gardner is 9-for-26 with four doubles in his career against Gonzalez.
