You have to love a nearly full slate to kick off the weekend! We get 14 games this evening and there are so many value bats that it took forever to cut the article down to just a handful! Whether you’re looking for a catcher or corner infielder, this article has you covered. There are likely to be a couple popular stacks this evening, and there’s a value bat that you can get in there from each of them. Spoiler alert: Look at San Francisco hitters.

Without further ado, let’s jump into today’s Value Vault for the main slate!

Both Sites

Steven Duggar (L), OF SFG ($2,200 FD/$3,100 DK) - San Francisco is going to crush Chad Kuhl (R) tonight. Kuhl has a 6.07 ERA on the road this year, and in his last three road starts, he’s allowed nine earned runs on 13 hits with 10 walks across 13.2 innings of work. Dugar has an .816 OPS against righties this year, and he loves his home park, hitting .299 with a .906 OPS in home contests this season. Fire Duggar up in any San Francisco stack you have today!

Wilmer Difo (B), SS/3B/OFF PIT ($2,000 FD/$2,200 DK) - Difo is having a bit of a resurgence in Pittsburgh. He’s hitting .359 in the month of July with a 1.022 OPS and he’s hitting a cool .293 against righties. Away from his home park, he’s sporting a .304 batting average, and Cueto has allowed a .349 wOBA to left-handed hitters. Check to see if he makes it into the starting lineup, which he should, because Pittsburgh can’t afford to sit his hot bat (.379 AVG over the last 15 days). UPDATE: Difo is not starting. Apparently Pittsburgh feels otherwise, that they can afford to sit him.

J.T. Realmuto, C PHI ($3,300) - His price tag is only going to continue to soar. He’s hitting .286 this month with an .829 OPS and he’s 11-for-37 (.297) over the last 15 days. Realmuto is in a great spot today against Max Fried (L), as he’s gone 9-for-20 with two home runs in his career against him, not to mention posting an exceptional .545 wOBA. He’s hit safely in each of his last five home games and he’s no stranger to the Atlanta southpaw.

Josh Bell (B) (B), 1B WAS ($3,100) - One at-bat for Bell against Jorge López (R) resulted in a home run, and Bell has nine home runs and a .759 OPS against righties this year. Baltimore’s Jorge López (R) is 2-12 on the year with a 6.04 ERA, and at home this year, he’s surrendered a 5.49 ERA with a .297 BAA. Over his last 13.1 innings of work, he’s allowed 10 earned runs, and the opposition has hit over .370 against him. Bell is hitting .305 in the month of July with an .857 OPS, and over the last seven days in particular, he has an .857 OPS. It’s all aboard the Washington bats today!

DraftKings

Gleyber Torres (R), 2B/SS NYY ($3,200) - Torres is 7-for-21 in his career with three home runs off Boston’s Eduardo Rodríguez (L), and against lefties in general in 2021, Torres has posted a .261 average. Rodriguez has been much better in the month of July, but he’s surrendered a 5.16 ERA at home this year. He’s fared well against the Yankees thus far this season, but Torres might be heating up, as he has a .263 average and 1.137 OPS over the last seven days. Three of the five hits in that span have sailed over the fences in that span.

Miguel Cabrera (R), 1B DET ($2,700) - Cabrera is 3-for-4 in his career with a home run off Kansas City’s Kris Bubic (L), and for 2021 as a whole, Miggy is hitting .313 against lefties. Bubic has surrendered a .269 average and .361 wOBA to right-handed hitters. Six of Cabrera’s seven home runs have come on the road this year, and while the power numbers haven’t been there against lefties, the average is there. There are a couple enticing Detroit bats today.
