How did everyone do in NFL yesterday? There were a few great games and a few games that tend to ruin DFS, but I'll save that for a rainy day.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/12/16. 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. Well, let's get down to it!

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through the playoffs. Premium DFS research, lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more. You can see screenshots of our NFL Premium and MLB Premium and DFS tools. What are you waiting for?

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox are always an elite offense at home, and tonight will be no different. They get an elite matchup against Wade Miley, who has looked awful this season. The Red Sox are massive -240 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

Cincinnati RedsThe Reds are a sneaky offense at home. They play in an extremely hitter friendly stadium, and they'll get a great matchup against Wily Peralta tonight. Peralta has struggled quite a bit this season, and the Reds are -150 favorites in a game set at 9 runs. They are a high upside stacking option tonight.

Houston AstrosThe Astros have a great combination of speed and power sprinkled throughout their offense. Tonight, they get a great matchup against Martin Perez, who has looked awful on the road this season. The Astros are -134 favorite in a game set at 9 runs, and they are another great tournament stacking option.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Kyle HendricksHendricks has been one of the best players in the MLB this season, as he has a 14-7 record with a 2.07 ERA. He has looked even better over his last 10 games, and he gets a good matchup against the Cardinals tonight. He's a -143 favorite in a game set at 8 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.

David PricePrice struggled for a bit this season, but he has looked good over his last 10 games. Over that span, he has a 6-1 record with a 2.93 ERA and a good strikeout rate. He gets a tough matchup against the Orioles, but he a massive favorite, and he's a good GPP option tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Miguel MonteroMontero doesn't always start for the Cubs, but he has been on fire recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .400 with decent upside. He gets a good matchup against Leake, and Montero can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Kendrys MoralesMorales continues to terrorize opposing pitchers, as he's hitting over .350 with great power over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Detwiler tonight, and Morales has been hot enough for all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Ian KinslerKinsler has looked outstanding over his last 10 games, although his price tag doesn't represent it. He is hitting .400 over his last 10 games, and he gets a good matchup against Santana tonight. Kinsler can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Dansby SwansonSwanson had an adjustment period to the MLB, but he has found his groove now. He's hitting over .350 with good power over his last 10 games, and he gets a good matchup against Esch tonight. Swanson is still fairly cheap, and he can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Alex BregmanBregman is another young player that has found his groove recently. He's hitting over .350 with an elite combination of speed and power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Perez, and Bregman is an elite option in all leagues tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Trea TurnerTurner continues to make an elite fantasy option. He has an elite combination of speed and power and he continues to dominate each night. He has been a bit risky recently, but he can be used in all leagues because of his upside.

Curtis GrandersonGranderson, and the rest of the Mets, have been on fire recently. He's hitting over .300 with good power over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Giolito, and Granderson can be used in all leagues, especially in a Mets stack.

Seth SmithSmith is a platoon player, which keeps his price tag low, but he has been on fire recently. He's hitting .400 with decent power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Nolasco, and Smith is a good cheap option tonight.
