Fantasy Baseball Daily Value Plays, Aug 1

ASL

If you're playing MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball contests, you might find these top-value players helpful for building your lineup. ASL has calculated optimum lineups for DraftKings, FanDuel and Yahoo, based on three different projection sources -- numberFire, RotoGrinders, Six Pack Fantasy -- as well as a Blend projection lineup that uses all three sources together.

For updates through the day, full lineups, team stacking and more, check out ASL’s powerful lineup optimizer, The Machine for Daily Fantasy Sports

Here is a pitcher and a top-value hitter from each projection source for each of the three DFS platforms:
