DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/14/16): MLB DFS Advice

The San Francisco Giants Notebook" href="http://www.rotoballer.com/mlb-fantasy-news/?team=SF">Giants are eliminated from the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs Notebook" href="http://www.rotoballer.com/mlb-fantasy-news/?team=CHC">Cubs are on their way to breaking the curse. It has been a great postseason thus far. Let's continue to make it great for fantasy purposes!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/14/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings.

New users that sign up on Fantasy Aces and make a $20 deposit will receive RotoBaller's full season NFL Premium Pass for free (including Premium DFS & MLB Premium), normally a $59.99 value.

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Cleveland Indians Notebook" href="http://www.rotoballer.com/mlb-fantasy-news/?team=CLE">Indians vs Marco Estrada

The Cleveland Indians went into the postseason looking to dominate with their elite pitching staff, but the plan changed. Instead, their hitting took over, as injuries plagued their roster. Tonight, Marco Estrada will attempt to keep them off the scoreboard, but that is not a likely scenario. The Indians will score early and often, as Corey Kluber attempts to pick up yet another postseason victory.

Also Consider: Chicago Cubs vs Los Angeles Dodgers

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Jon Lester ($11,700)

Jon Lester is the best pitching option on the board tonight. He has a 2.35 ERA this season with a 20-5 record and 202 strikeouts. He made the San Francisco Giants look silly at the plate in his last start, and he should do the same to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team that struggles against left-handed pitching. Use him in all formats.

Corey Kluber ($10,300)

Corey Kluber is the second best pitching option on the board this slate. That should be rather obvious. He gets a tough matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays Notebook" href="http://www.rotoballer.com/mlb-fantasy-news/?team=TOR">Blue Jays on Friday, but his strikeout-potential is much higher than Marco Estrada's. Estrada will likely lose the game, and Scherzer and Kluber should be the two highest scoring pitchers of the two-day slate.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C) - Willson Contreras ($4,200)

Willson Contreras is undoubtedly the best catching option left this postseason. He also plays the outfield, which is nice on DraftKings, but he is better used at the thin catcher position. He has a lot of power and upside, something most catchers left do not have. Use him in all formats, especially against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight.

First Base (1B) - Edwin Encarnacion ($4,000)

The Toronto Blue Jays are a powerful team with a high-upside offense. There is no doubting that. Edwin Encarnacion hit a home run in his last start, and it would not be surprising to see him do it again. He has three home runs in his last four games. Use him in all formats, especially tournaments tonight against Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians.

Second Base (2B) - Ben Zobrist ($4,700)

Ben Zobrist has been crushing the ball this postseason. In his last 10 games, he is hitting almost .300 with about 10 fantasy points per game on average. He has 18 home runs and 78 RBIs, so his upside is there. His price tag is a little bit heavy, but with one or two value plays at pitcher or any of the position spots, he should be manageable.

Shortstop (SS) - Corey Seager ($3,800)

Corey Seager is not hitting all that well right now, but he is one of the best hitters in the league, and he is in play in all formats tonight. He gets a terrible matchup, but no matchup is great this slate. He has a lot of power and upside with 28 home runs and 75 RBIs this season. He is best suited for tournaments, but he will have to work in 50/50 contests as well.

Third Base (3B) - Josh Donaldson ($4,700)

Josh Donaldson is one of the best hitters in the league. He ended the season with a bang, and he has a lot of upside and potential in the postseason, as well. He is hitting almost .400 in his last 10 games with double-digit fantasy points per game on average. Use him in all formats without hesitation.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Dexter Fowler ($4,600)

The Chicago Cubs are the best team to stack tonight. They get a great matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers and are playing in Chicago. Home runs are bound to come. Runs are going to be scored. Dexter Fowler, despite his struggles this season, should be a part of that. Use him in all formats, especially tournaments.

Jose Bautista ($4,000)

Jose Bautista has two home runs in his last four games. He has a lot of power and upside, which makes him dangerous in tournaments. Corey Kluber will try to keep the runs to a minimum tonight, but these Blue Jay hitters are very hot. Use them in tournaments.
