Michael Clifford breaks down every matchup of the night to find the top daily fantasy baseball value plays.

Houston Astros (Oberholtzer) at Detroit Tigers (Ray)

Brett Oberholtzer is a non-starter for me today. I had interest in Robbie Ray making his first career start – he has typically been a good strikeout pitcher in the minors and he does get the Astros. He is priced out of the gate as a top-ten pitcher today, though, so there’s no value here. Both teams have hitters who have excelled against lefties so far this year, though.

Ian Kinsler (DET-2B) – $8266

Austin Jackson (DET-OF) – $6792

Jonathan Villar (HOU-SS) – $6959
