Shohei Ohtani is the best play in DFS fantasy baseball tonight

While it is not very original to say that Shohei Ohtani is one of the clear studs for tonight's games, he simply is too good to pass up. The two-way Japanese sensation is set to start against the Seattle Mariners, which could be massive for him as the Mariners rank third in the MLB with 592 team strikeouts.

While the Los Angeles Angels starter comes with a hefty price tag, he is certainly worth the cost and should reward those who selected him.

Adrian Houser and AJ Smith-Shawver could be sneaky bargain plays

At a cost of $6000, Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser could be a solid "buy-low" target. While he has not been a world-beater this season, a matchup against the Oakland Athletics is one of the best opponents for pitchers to face.

"20 year old AJ Smith-Shawver's game plan for tomorrow? Trust your stuff. Throw strikes. Keep the game simple." - @BravesOnBally

Another pitcher with a good matchup is AJ Smith-Shawver of the Atlanta Braves. The 20-year-old is set to start today's game against the Washington Nationals, who rank 23rd in the MLB in runs scored. While the Nationals rank among the top in team batting average, their lack of scoring could benefit Smith-Shawver. He is currently priced at $6500 on DraftKings DFS.
