Daily Fantasy Baseball 2015: MLB DraftKings Bargain Buys, Sleepers for August 6

Thursday's slate of MLB action includes 10 games, five during the day and five at night. DraftKings daily fantasy players have a limited number of choices available in both the afternoon and evening contests. The key to success might not be how the stars in your lineup perform, but whether or not the cheaper players on your roster contribute points as well.

Factors such as recent hot streaks and favorable matchups make these five low-cost options solid sleeper picks for August 6.

Afternoon

Joe Ross, SP, Washington Nationals ($8,700)

After Zack Greinke and Michael Wacha, pitching prospects in the early games drop off considerably.
