Here are the best high salary and value picks for DraftKings fantasy baseball on Saturday, April 8.

Kyle Hendricks takes the mound today for the first time since Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, and he’ll look to get the Cubs back on track after an extra-inning loss to the Cardinals last night. Big guns Madison Bumgarner and Yu Darvish also take the bump, and the only thing bad about MadBum is we can’t put him in on offense! We are at the back end of most rotations, so there are plenty of good stacks available tonight, and I have a value pitcher that might surprise you. Let’s check out our options for our DraftKings DFS MLB lineups tonight. This piece will cover the 10-game slate that begins at 7:05 p.m. ET.
