Identifying the top high salary and value third baseman plays from around Major League Baseball for your July 20 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
Josh Donaldson, Blue Jays (5,500): Donaldson has five hits and a combined 27 DraftKings points over his last two games. Don’t expect him to slow down Wednesday against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin (4-8, 5.25 ERA). Donaldson is hitting .337 against lefties this season, and Toronto has one of the day’s highest expected run totals (5.2).
Evan Longoria, Rays (5,100): Longoria is in the middle of a brilliant run, having tallied at least 18 DK points in his last three games. So far in the series against Colorado, Longoria is 4-for-9 with two triples, one home run and four RBIs. Look for him to stay hot Wednesday against lefty Jorge De La Rosa (6-6, 5.50 ERA).
High Value
Chase Headley, Yankees (3,700): Headley has homered in two of his last four games and reached double-digit DK points in four of his last seven games overall. New York has won three straight and will look to stay hot against Baltimore righty Yovani Gallardo (3-1, 5.77 ERA) on Wednesday. Headley is 9-for-25 (.360) with a home run in his career against Gallardo.
Todd Frazier, White Sox (3,000): Disclaimer: This is purely a GPP punt play, since Frazier will be facing Seattle’s Felix Hernandez (4-4, 2.86 ERA) in his first start since May. But remember, Frazier’s 27 home runs trail only Baltimore’s Mark Trumbo (28). That alone makes Frazier worth a roll of the dice.
