Monday brings a light seven-game MLB schedule, but there are still a few strong starting pitchers from which to choose in daily fantasy baseball contests. You shouldn’t have a problem in FanDuel finding your SP, but picking that second starter on DraftKings coule be a little more difficult, especially if you want to save money. Today’s rankings don’t feature too many must-have sleepers.The best overall value appears to beBrad Peacock(@ Tigers), who checks in as the SP6 on both sites. Corey Dickerson Jersey The Tigers rank just 26th in wRC+ vs. righties, so the combination of matchup, price, and talent are about as good as you can do.Robbie Ray (vs. Pirates)is the best value on FD, but he’s the most expensive pitcher on DK, making it a little tougher to roster him and another top option.Jose Berrios (vs. Angels)has a tough matchup on paper, but he’s been the most consistent of any pitcher on the list. You can feel relatively safe with him. On the flip side,Matthew Boyd (vs. Astros)has been fantastic this year but gets the best offense in baseball. Given Blank Jersey his price, he should be considered a GPP-only play — and a risky one at that.Aaron Nola (@ Brewers)andShane Bieber (@ White Sox)seem like slightly safer high-priced options.If you’re really bargain hunting,Reynaldo Lopez (vs. Indians)has the best matchup, but it’s tough to make a case for any of the other low-cost options. Justin Bour Jersey We could see some rain on the East Coast, with the Orioles-Yankees game in serious danger of a delay or postponement. Things could get dicey for the Brewers-Phillies, too.

League average for position players is 100, and every point above 100 is a percentage point above league average. For example, a 125 wRC+ means a player created 25% more runs than a league average hitter would have in the same number of plate appearances.
