Major League Baseball celebrates May Day with a big Friday night of baseball, including an 11-game main slate that gets going at 7:05 p.m. ET. It’s a fascinating slate on a number of levels as new series get underway in many cities. There aren’t many real aces on the board, but there are some boom-or-bust pitchers, which makes things very volatile across the board. To help you fill out your lineup card, let’s take a look at a few MLB DFS Value Picks who bring good upside and potential production even though they are available at low salaries.

Weather often makes a huge impact on the slates at this time of the year, but Friday night’s slate looks relatively clear. Sutter Health Park and Coors Field are both on the slate, with high-scoring games and home run potential elevated in those spots.

Let’s dive in and take a look at a few of the best value plays from the 22 teams in the player pool this Friday night:

Best MLB DFS value plays

SP Joey Cantillo, Cleveland Guardians at Athletics, $7,400

Many of the bargain pitchers on the board have potential but also come with elevated risk, but Cantillo makes the most sense as a value play from the probable pitchers on Friday night. The lefty has shown a high ceiling but has also been fairly consistent for Cleveland in his six starts. Cantillo is averaging 15.6 FPTS per start and has at least 10 FPTS in every outing.

He showed his upside with 29.8 FPTS in his one win of the season, striking out nine in 5 2/3 innings against the Royals. He didn’t dominate in his three starts since then, but he has still put together a solid 15 2/3 innings with 14 strikeouts.

It will be warm in Sacramento, and the A’s have a pretty solid lineup overall. They have scuffled a little against southpaws like Cantillo, though, hitting only .228 in the splits with a 78 wRC+ as a team, meaning they are 22% below league average at run creation against southpaws.

2B/3B Daniel Schneemann, Cleveland Guardians at Athletics, $3,400

Let’s stick with the Guardians and grab a value bat in Schneemann, who has been heating up lately and will hopefully help Cantillo have good run support. Schneemann has hit safely in seven straight games with an at-bat, going 9-for-25 (.360) with a double, two homers, four walks and a stolen base. Over those seven games, Schneemann is averaging 9.7 FPTS per contest, and he went over that with 11 FPTS by going 2-for-4 with a stolen base on Wednesday in the Guardians’ last game.

On Friday, he’ll face righty J.T. Ginn ($6,900), who has decent numbers overall but has struggled at home this season. Ginn has allowed six runs in 8 2/3 innings at home with a pair of homers and a .340 wOBA against him. Lefties like Schneeman have hit three of the four homers he has allowed this season with a .323 wOBA in the split. Schneemann is on the strong side of those splits and has the flexibility to fit at either 2B or 3B, which can both be tricky positions to fill in your roster builds.

OF MJ Melendez, New York Mets at Los Angeles Angels, $2,800

The Mets’ lineup has been stretched extremely thin by injury over the last couple of weeks, with Francisco Lindor (calf), Jorge Polanco (wrist) and Luis Robert Jr. (back) all landing on the injured list. Melendez is going to have to step into a prominent role for the team in the next couple of weeks, and the lefty has flashed signs of streaky potential in the past when he was with the Royals.

Melendez is hitting an impressive .345 with two homers and a 66.7% hard-hit rate in his limited work this season. He homered on Thursday and had 25 FPTS. He’s averaging 6.9 FPTS per game on the year, but several of those games were as a pinch-hitter or before leaving for a pinch-hitter. Melendez is 10-for-29 on the year and six of those 10 hits have been for extra bases.

He’ll take on Angels starter Walbert Urena ($6,500) in favorable hitting conditions on Friday night in Anaheim. The 22-year-old righty has a 0-3 record on the season with a 4.76 ERA and 4.63 FIP.
