Tuesday night brings us a full complement of 15 MLB games to dissect when building our DraftKings lineups. Finding the right pitchers to roster is a challenge with many of the high-priced options seemingly overpriced and not a lot of value options that you can trust. Hitting, on the other hand, is plentiful including some good value options and high-priced studs to consider.
As always, be sure to pay close attention to the lineups when they are released and monitor the weather leading up to game time. For reference throughout the season, be sure to bookmark our overview of MLB Park Factors and how to Use Weather to Your Advantage in MLB DFS. Also, check out our GPP and Cash Games Primers to learn more about different daily fantasy game types specific to MLB.

Eduardo Rodriguez (BOS): $11,100 @ BAL
The price tag is much higher than I want to pay on both Aaron Nola ($12,000) and Eduardo Rodriguez, but with limited value options that I trust, paying up for one of them seems like a necessary evil in Cash games. Rodriguez has topped 19.9 DraftKings points in six of his last seven starts. He will face an Orioles team that was shutout for 12 innings on Monday and has the third lowest wOBA (.265) and second lowest wRC+ (63) against left-handed pitchers over the last 30 days.
