Garion Thorne dives into tonight’s 10-game MLB DFS slate to find three value options for your DraftKings lineups.
You have to love April. We’ve got the NBA Playoffs. We’ve got the NHL playoffs. We’ve got the MLB regular season in full swing. It’s a sports fan’s paradise.
That said, it’s a lot to keep track of. If you need some help finding a few value picks for tonight’s 10-game MLB DFS slate on the diamond, I’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in.

There’s a couple different intriguing pitching options below $8,000 tonight. You could take a look at Trey Yesavage ($7,800) making his 2026 debut, or even Clay Holmes ($7,900) going up against the suddenly ice-cold Nationals. However, I think the best choice is Davis Martin versus the Angels.
Being the White Sox’s “ace” is a low bar, but let’s not undersell what Davis has accomplished so far in 2026. The 29-year-old is pitching to a 2.01 ERA and a 3.06 FIP across 31.1 innings of work, doing the simple things like limiting walks and opponent home runs. In fact, since the beginning of April, Martin’s surrendered only four earned runs over 26.1 innings. That’s the result of a pristine .217 opponent batting average and a .258 wOBA. The right-hander has simply been dealing.
In terms of matchup, the Angels aren’t perfect. This is a lineup with a lot of pop, and Mike Trout ($5,900) has been turning back the clock. That said, just like last year, Los Angeles also strikes out a ton. The Angels’ 24.9% strikeout rate is the highest mark in the American League. They’ll provide the upside so long as Davis can work into the sixth.
It’s been a slow start to the season for Michael Busch, but it was just last year that the first baseman hit 34 bombs and registered a 140 wRC+. I think I’m willing to cut him some slack, and it doesn’t hurt that Busch has six hits — three for extra-bases — in his last five games. It also doesn’t hurt that Walker Buehler ($6,500) is toeing the rubber for the Padres on Tuesday.
Since the beginning of 2024, Buehler owns a 5.16 ERA on well over 200 innings of action. The veteran’s average fastball velocity continues to drop, and it’s a wonder how much longer Buehler has at the MLB level. Honestly, it probably won’t be long if LHBs keep hitting him this well. The 56 lefties that Buehler has faced this season have combined to slash .340/.411/.420 with a .376 wOBA. That sounds like the recipe for Busch to continue working out of a prolonged slump.
It is so hard to find anyone on the Mets hitting well at the moment, let alone someone who would qualify as a value play. For instance, despite the fact he hit clean up on Monday night, Brett Baty currently sports a 60 wRC+ in 88 plate appearances. 60. What is going on in Queens?
So, why am I suggesting any New York players in the first place? Look no further than Zack Littell ($5,500). After allowing four more home runs in his last start, Littell has now surrendered 47 home runs since the beginning of 2025 — easily the most in baseball in that span of time. In 2026, Littell’s biggest weakness has specifically been LHBs, as they’ve accounted for nine of the 11 long balls he’s given up. In fact, nine of the 19 hits that lefties have managed off Littell this season have left the park. That’s a staggering ratio. It’s also one that makes any left-handed bad viable. Even if they suit up for the Mets.
