Daily Dime: If you can't beat the Mets, meet the Mets
Here are ten recommended Yahoo DFS plays for Tuesday, and yes, Virginia, they collectively fit under the Yahoo Daily cap. Be sure to double-check on lineups and weather before you make your final commitments.
Nathan Karns, SP, vs. MIN (Santana), $43: I’m going to look to save a few bucks as I complete the mound spots, aiming for a meatier hitting component. But I’m not forgetting about the almighty win points; Karns is a -145 favorite in this spot. Karns gets the check mark in consistency (11 useful starts over his last 13), while Ervin Santana has given away 26 earned runs (and seven homers) over his last seven assignments. The Minnesota offense has also been dreadful on the road (21st in scoring).
Charlie Morton, SP, at MIA (Hand), $42: I’m willing to give up some upside, considering Morton is a -165 favorite against the ghost town that is Miami’s leftover offense. And don’t write off Morton as a full pitch-to-contact specialist; he’s racked up 30 strikeouts over his last 25 innings. The Pittsburgh offense hasn’t been dynamic against lefties, but aloha Mr. Hand – take a look at that 4.46 ERA.

A.J. Pierzynski, C, vs. COL (Bettis), $12: Down with AJP, yeah, you know me. It’s a semi-punt at the position, but made more tolerable by AJP’s lineup slot (fourth). Pierzynski has a robust .809 OPS against right-handed pitching, and there’s nothing worrisome with Chad Bettis.
Carlos Santana, 1B, vs. MIL (Peralta), $16: The pop has come alive of late (three homers in eight games), and the Indians should get some runs against Wily and the Poor Boys. Santana shows more power when batting left-handed, and Peralta gives up a .290/.335/.527 split in that platoon deficit.
Anthony Rendon, 2B, vs. SD (Shields), $14: He’s finally seeing the ball well and driving it with authority, collecting two homers, a double and four walks over the last two games. James Shields is someone to attack on the road, with a 4.75 ERA and 1.38 WHIP.
Wilmer Flores, SS, at PHI (Williams), $8: Keep rolling with him until the price adjusts. Flores is rocking a .961 OPS this month, with three homers, and the park and opposing pitcher are downright chummy for Tuesday.
Josh Donaldson, 3B, at TEX (Holland), $25: The MVP front-runner in a hitter-friendly park against an ordinary lefty? Sign me up, even at this prohibitive price. Have some fun expanding Mr. Holland’s OPS.
Yoenis Cespedes, OF, at PHI (Williams), $21: Can’t beat em? Join em. Cespedes and the Mets went on an offensive tear during a three-game sweep at Coors, and then it continued during Monday’s eight-homer jamboree at Philadelphia. I can’t see Jerome Williams stopping the bleeding Tuesday night.

Jason Bourgeois, OF, vs. LAD (Wood), $11: He’s had a couple of useful games out of the leadoff spot the last two weeks, and Alex Wood can’t seem to keep right-handed hitters off base (.368 OBP). A dip into the bargain bin feels right here.
Chris Young, OF, vs. HOU (Keuchel), $7: I’m a full-on Dallas Keuchel sympathizer, as you might remember, but Young’s monster work against southpaws (.339/.398/.635) cannot be ignored, especially at this gift price.
