Grichuk will see Oakland starter JP Sears on the mound. That will be the venue Friday evening as they take on the Oakland Athletics. Of course, we know having home games with the mile-high elevation of Coors Field can often lead to a surge in offensive numbers. Ten-year MLB veteran Randal Grichuk is having a fine campaign at the plate in his second season with the Colorado Rockies. Randal Grichuk, OF, Colorado Rockies ($3,400) Salaried at $3,300 on Friday, Harper is worth the risk. I think that can lead to an uptick in his offensive production. Favorably, he has found a home at first base, taking impact off his throwing arm. Harper's rehab from Tommy John seems to be progressing as it should.

Harper and the Phils are set for a Friday night bid at the Pittsburgh Pirates - that means it'll be a battle for the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which admittedly has lost intensity since the 1970s).Įither way, PNC Park on the northern bank of the Allegheny River is a venue that plays favorably to left-handed hitters like Harper the right-field foul pole sits a short 320 feet from home plate.Īdditionally, Harper will hold the platoon advantage over Pittsburgh starting pitcher Mitch Keller. He also has produced four RBI over Philadelphia's last four contests. He has hit safely in 12 of his past 14 games. Whether slated at first base or DH, Harper is seeing the baseball well right now.

Bryce Harper, 1B/OF, Philadelphia Phillies ($3,300) Montgomery does not walk hitters at a high rate (6.4% of batters faced in 2023) nor does he allow a ton of hard contact (Statcast hard-hit rate of 31.6%).įor a salary of only $9,400, I believe he has a good shot to have a productive DFS night in front of one of the best home crowds in baseball. He has been maintaining a mostly solid season, showing a respectable 4.17 SIERA at the moment. Off the top, Montgomery will get the hometown benefit of pitching in front of the Busch Stadium faithful.Īt numberFire, Montgomery's Friday projection yields a quality value score of 3.32 (translating to 31.2 FanDuel points), which is eighth-best among today's available pitchers. Louis Cardinals against their fiercest rivals: the Chicago Cubs. Tonight, southpaw starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery will get the ball for the St. Here are some low-salary players to target on FanDuel for Friday's main slate.Īdvanced statistics courtesy of FanGraphs.
