Scouting The MLB DFS - Monday, April 3

USA TODAY Sports

We've finally got a huge slate of MLB action on Opening Day. This breakdown will help you cash on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Plays of the Day

Value: Jose Peraza broke out last summer with a .355 batting average and 127 wRC+ after the ASB and he will open the 2017 season as the Reds everyday second baseman. He’s been scorching the ball this spring and opens the year against a vulnerable RHP in Jeremy Hellickson, who struggled to miss bats while posting a 3.98 FIP and 12-10 record last season.

Fade: Brain Dozier posted some eye-popping numbers against LHP last season, but Royals southpaw Danny Duffy has held him in relative check with 8 hits and 0 HR over 34 career plate appearances.
