Bargain Plays - Where's Oswaldo? In the Clearance Aisle

Here are the top sleeper picks for Saturday, April 23:

OF Oswaldo Arcia, Twins (at Nationals)

Arcia has made the most of his time in the big leagues, and with eight hits in five games (including two home runs) he seems to have brought some life back to the Twins lineup.

For his career, Arcia has hit for just a slightly higher average against righties than lefties, but his walk rate is much higher (8.2 per cent, compared to 4.2) against RHPs and 84.2 per cent of his career home runs have come against RHPs as well.

Nationals RHP Tanner Roark has posted one good game (7 IP, no earned runs on four hits) and two bad games (a combined 10 innings, seven earned runs on 16 hits and five Ks to five BBs). Arcia's patience and eye at the plate will allow him to wait on his pitch, then drive it into the stands if Roark slips up.

SP Chris Bassitt, Athletics (at Blue Jays)

Bassitt has has looked very competent through three outings despite not being the pitcher of record in any of the starts. While he's only struck out 13 batters through 19 1/3 innings, he has found ways to limit the offenses of three veteran-laden squads in the White Sox, Mariners and Royals.

The Blue Jays look like a team mired in some sticky in-clubhouse drama, stemming from subdued results at the plate by some of their best bats and the recent suspension of 1B Chris Colabello. The core of the order -- 3B Josh Donaldson, OF Jose Bautista and 1B Edwin Encarnacion -- are all hitting less than .270 against righties to start the season.

Though Bassitt's underlying stats project regression, if he continues to do what has worked so far this season, he could escape Toronto with a win. At this price, a quality start, a handful of strikeouts and a win would represent a great return on investment.

1B Brandon Belt, Giants (vs. Marlins)

The following three statements about Belt are true:

• From 2013 to 2015, he hit much better at home (.288) than away (.268)

• He hits right-handed pitching (.282) better than lefties (.263)

• He is facing star Marlins RHP Jose Fernandez

The last statement is why he is so cheap among first basemen despite batting in the heart of the Giants' lineup. The first and second reasons are why there is hope that he could return some value relative to that low DFS price point.

Considering Fernandez has a 3.70 road ERA for his career, Belt has the potential to return adequate cash-game value. He has only gone hitless three times in his last 11 starts, with five multi-hit games over that same span, so if you can stomach an underdog flier, there are indicators that Belt should be able to get a hit or two off of the Marlins' ace.
