Zach Thompson breaks down the top value plays for the seven-game MLB DFS slate on Saturday night, including Yankees pitcher Will Warren, Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers, and Dodgers infielder Santiago Espinal.

Why it matters

With all 30 MLB teams in action, the Saturday night DraftKings slate offers plenty of options to build winning DFS lineups by identifying underpriced players who can provide strong production.

The details

Warren has shown strikeout upside and faces a struggling Giants lineup, Bauers is off to a hot start and should see increased playing time with an injury, and Espinal earned a roster spot with a big spring and could start against a lefty pitcher.

  • The seven-game Saturday night MLB DFS slate is the second straight evening slate on DraftKings.
  • Teams are still near the top of their rotation, so strong starting pitching options are available.

The players

Will Warren

A 26-year-old starting pitcher for the New York Yankees who had a 4.44 ERA and 171 strikeouts in 162.1 innings last season.

Jake Bauers

A first baseman/outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers who had a huge spring training and hit a 3-run homer on Opening Day.

Santiago Espinal

A utility infielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers who earned a roster spot with a strong spring training performance.
