Data Skrive highlighted Jonathan Aranda as a strong option heading into the Rays' matchup against the Red Sox, based on his recent hot streak at the plate. Aranda has maintained a batting average of .395, with six doubles, two home runs and a solid approach with five walks. He's currently riding a two-game hitting streak, and notably over his past five games, he's posted a .500 average with a double, a home run, three walks and five RBI. Facing a Red Sox pitching staff that carries a recent ERA of 3.71, Aranda's current form positions him favorably for productive DFS lineup usage or prop bets involving hits or total bases.

Beermakersfan identified Jonathan Aranda as an enticing value play with big power upside against Kyle Hendricks. Aranda has opened the season red-hot, already having three multi-hit games while dominating right-handed pitching with a .496 wOBA and a massive .400 ISO. Hendricks is very hittable, having registered just a 14.5% strikeout rate against left-handed hitters along with a .374 wOBA allowed last season. Given Aranda's very affordable price points across DFS platforms, this sets up as an excellent bargain opportunity tonight.

Jamie Calandro endorses Jonathan Aranda as a strong value hitter due to his favorable matchup with Kyle Hendricks. Hendricks has seen increasingly diminished velocity and reduced strikeout capability, especially against left-handed hitters, allowing a low K rate of 14.5%. Aranda typically hits near the top of the order for Tampa Bay and offers considerable savings in DFS lineups, making him a key piece against Hendricks.

Dan Marcus pinpointed Jonathan Aranda as a strong DFS value play at only $2,600. He cited Aranda's potential lineup positioning in the cleanup spot due to injuries (specifically Josh Lowe's expected absence) and the favorable hitting conditions provided by the short right porch at Steinbrenner Field as compelling reasons to utilize him in DraftKings lineups.
