Friday night promises an exciting 13-game slate for MLB DFS players with plenty of opportunities to capitalize on emerging trends and matchups. David Peterson of the New York Mets stands out as a top-tier pitcher, showing a solid 2.87 ERA and dominating against teams like the struggling Colorado Rockies. He will be a crucial asset against a team that has been underwhelming this season.

Casey Mize from the Detroit Tigers and Chris Bassitt of the Toronto Blue Jays also offer compelling options. Mize, a former first overall pick, is expected to exploit the Royals’ poor offensive metrics, while Bassitt enjoys a strong home ERA, making him a reliable choice against the Athletics.

In terms of hitters, Corbin Carroll is making waves with impressive power stats, and Pete Alonso seems to be shaking off a cold streak, making him a desirable add against lefty Kyle Freeland. Bargain bats like Randy Arozarena and Matt Chapman are also worth considering given their recent performances and matchup situations. Stacks against pitchers like Mitch Keller and Jack Leiter from the Pirates and Rangers, respectively, could yield high returns.
