Friday’s 12-game DFS slate centers on carefully balancing pitcher payups with value arms and stacking the right offenses in a game environment that leans offensive in several matchups. Framber Valdez is the marquee payup at 9,900 but recent road work tempers enthusiasm, especially with Baltimore’s deep lefty-susceptible lineup. Noah Cameron offers a safer, cash-friendly floor at 9,200, while Hurston Waldrep is a budget-longshot with upside in a Cleveland club that struggles against righties. Target Rockies–Diamondbacks and Athletics–Angels for run-heavy stacks, and don’t overlook Red Sox’s trio against Alcantara in a potential salary relief scenario. The Padres–Dodgers weekend set features Machado and Tatis thriving against Clayton Kershaw, while Ronald Acuña Jr. is slated to return and injects a burst of upside for Braves stacks. Weather looks calm overall, with a hint of wind in Kansas City, keeping most offenses in play. Build around a mix of high-leverage arms and eclectic stacks to maximize leverage and ownership gaps.

Key high-leverage offenses to monitor include the Astros, Dodgers, Padres, and Braves, each carrying multiple affordable or mispriced pieces. Red Sox exposure vs Alcantara gives Boston simple pricing discipline with Bregman, Duran, and Roman Anthony as the core trio, while Arizona’s Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. headline a strong Diamondbacks contingent that can punch back against a Rockies pitching plan. Rockies’ Hunter Goodman, Mickey Moniak, and Brenton Doyle present solid mid-price stacking options against Corbin Burnes’ or Pfaadt-influenced rotations. In pitching, value spikes come from mid-tier arms in favorable matchups, coordinating with offense-heavy lineups to secure tournament upside or steady cash gains.
