DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/14/16): MLB DFS Advice

By Keith Allison on Flickr (Originally posted to Flickr as "Adrian Beltre") [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

There are 10 MLB games in play at DraftKings for Wednesday evening's contests.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/14/16. 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. The following targets have been selected from only the evening or late contests.

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through the playoffs. Premium DFS lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more - seven days a week. 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

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Tim Adleman (RHP)

Tim Adleman has struggled this season to the tune of a 5.88 FIP and a 1.37 WHIP as he's allowed 46 hits and 20 runs, including 10 HR across 46 1/3 innings pitched. He'll face the Brewers at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati which just so happens to have seen the sixth most HR this season. Because of these factors I love the red hot Ryan Braun and Keon Broxton and also like Jonathan Villar and Junior Guerra.

Houston Astros vs. Derek Holland (LHP)

Derek Holland has been awful the past few weeks and he's struggled against right handed hitters all season as he's allowed them a triple slash of .281/.342./462. It bodes well for the right handed hitters on the Astros that happen to destroy left handed pitching. Those hitters are Jose Altuve, George Springer and Evan Gattis.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Rick Porcello, BOS vs BAL - $9,900

Rick Porcello has been among the best starting pitchers in baseball over the past few months so I'm able to look past what appears to be a tough matchup with the Orioles. Since the All Star break Porcello is 9-1 with a 2.57 ERA, 0.818 WHIP and a K:BB ratio of 64:8 across 80 and 2/3 innings pitched. He's been at his best at home at Fenway Park where he'll pitch tonight and it also helps that Baltimore has the fifth highest K% on the road this season at 23%.

Junior Guerra, MIL at CIN - $6,300

Junior Guerra has quietly had a very good season as he's averaged 17.2 FPPG this season. While he's making his way back from injury this is his third start since returning and he should have no restrictions as far as a pitch count goes. With his low price I absolutely love him against a weak Reds offense tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Evan Gattis, TEX at HOU - $3,300

Evan Gattis has destroyed LHP this season to the tune of a .294/.346/.573 triple slash and he'll face Derek Holland tonight at home. Playing in Houston bodes well for Gattis' power numbers as he has 8 more HR at home even though he's played only three more home games than road games this season.

First Base (1B)

Freddie Freeman, MIA at ATL - $4,000

Freeman has been on fire over the past two weeks as he's logged 17 hits including five doubles and three HR in his past 12 games. In his career against Jose Fernandez Freeman has seven hits in 20 at bats including a double and two HR. Tonight he is a sneaky value and a contrarian play for GPP's.

Second Base (2B)

Jose Altuve, TEX at HOU - $4,500

If you're going to use a second baseman not named Brian Dozier tonight it should be Jose Altuve. This season Jose has posted a .410 OBP against LHP and at home he's triple slashing a ridiculously good .387/.452/.582.

Shortstop (SS)

Jonathan Villar, MIL at CIN - $4,800

Jonathan Villar has been fantastic this season as he's averaged 9.7 FPPG at Draftkings. On a night when I expect big things form the Brewers offense Villar should be leading the way from the lead off spot.

Third Base (3B) 

Adrian Beltre, TEX at HOU - $4,600

Adrian Beltre has been the hottest hitter in baseball this side of Brian Dozier as he's notched eleven hits including four HR in his past six games. Tonight he'll face the struggling rookie Joe Musgrave and I expect Adrian's hot hitting to continue.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

George Springer, TEX at HOU - $3,600

George Springer against a LHP for just $3,600 is a steal because he's managed a .269/.395/.538 triple slash against them this season. The fact that he's been a bit cold lately means that he'll likely be a contrarian play in GPP's on a night when he's leading off for an offense that I like to stack.

Ryan Braun, MIL at CIN - $4,900

Ryan Braun has been hot lately as he's posted a .364 OBP and .514 SLG over his past 11 games (10 starts). Tonight he'll hit third against Tim Adleman and the Reds at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.

Keon Broxton, MIL at CIN - $4,300

Over the past two weeks Keon Broxton has impressed with a .343/.410/.571 triple slash that includes two doubles, two HR and three SB. It also bodes well for Keon that this game is in Cincinnati as Broxton has been a much better hitter on the road as his batting average is 79 points higher away from Miller Park.
