Monday, March 30 — Main Slate
If you’re building on FanDuel today, these are the value bats that stand out from our projections as the best ways to save salary without sacrificing upside. These are the types of plays that let you fit top-tier hitters while still keeping your lineup competitive.
Matt Shaw (CHC) — 3B — $2,200
Shaw grades out as one of the strongest point-per-dollar plays in our projections and stands out immediately at this price. He doesn’t need a big game to pay off, but his lineup role gives him a clear path to outperform value and help balance your build.
Nathan Lukes (TOR) — OF — $2,500
Lukes is another strong salary-saving option who projects well relative to his price. He fits nicely into balanced builds and gives you exposure to a solid offensive spot without needing to spend up.
Jake Bauers (MIL) — 1B — $2,800
Bauers brings power upside at a very manageable salary and continues to rate well in our projections. He’s one of the better value bats if you’re looking for a cheap player who can still deliver a ceiling performance.
Value Strategy
- Shaw = best pure value
- Lukes = balanced salary relief
- Bauers = power upside at a discount
Final Take
These three hitters give you the flexibility to open up your lineup while still maintaining strong projected output. Building around these value plays makes it much easier to fit high-end bats and maximize your overall lineup ceiling.
