Eric Thames has done work at Miller Park this season, and he's in a great spot tonight against Homer Bailey. What other low-priced options should we check out?

With production being highly variable on a night-to-night basis, daily fantasy baseball plays a bit differently than other sports.

An 0-for-4 dud from a chalky high-priced slugger is a lot more common than a total dud from a top-priced NBA player or even than a stinker from a top quarterback or running back.

That means that it's not uncommon for value plays to end up doing the heavy lifting in carrying your lineup.

Let's get right into it and take a look at the top value options on today's slate.
