DraftKings MLB one-off plays:

I will probably have some Cincinnati exposure despite their less than stellar offensive numbers on the road. Fedde is prone to the occasional blowup, so I want some Votto and Nick Senzel just in case this is one of those places.

From an offensive standpoint, I couldn’t care less if Chicago were rained out. I don’t plan on using any White Sox against Greinke anyway. Leury Garcia is the only one I would even consider as a punt. After all, a punt is worthless if it nets you nothing.

There are better offenses to attack with tonight than the Pirates, but with Josh Bell‘s homer drought now over, he may be worth a look. Starling Marte looks good with a lefty on the hill. So does Jung Ho Kang if he gets a start.

Eric Hosmer is certainly worth a look against the Rays, but I’m not sure who else you really want here. Pruitt hasn’t allowed a homer in 10.1 road innings yet. You could take a shot with Renfroe or Tatis, but I don’t want more than one or two Padres in any lineup.

I don’t want much for Rays against Lucchesi at home. Avi Garcia and Travis d’Arnaud are the only one offs I’ll use. Maybe Willy Adames if punting shortstop.
