DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/20/16): MLB DFS Advice

How did everyone do in the second week of NFL? Because you read all of RotoBaller's top-notch fantasy football analysis, you're of course sitting at 2-0 - right? Excellent. So after another fun weekend of football action, it's time to get back to the grind of MLB DFS during the week.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/20/16. 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

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies are always an elite stack at home. They get a great matchup against Adam Wainwright tonight, and he has really struggled on the road this season. Colorado is the underdog in this game, but it's set at 11.5 runs, and they are an elite stack.

St. Lous CardinalsThe Cardinals are the favorites in Coors tonight. They get a great matchup against Jorge De La Rosa, and they should have no problems scoring tonight. St. Louis is the safer offense of the two, and they can also be stacked in all leagues.

Texas RangersIf you're looking to stack outside of Coors, look no farther than the Rangers. Texas gets a great matchup against Daniel Wright, who has struggled with a 7.04 ERA this season. They are also -180 favorites in a game set at 10.5 runs. They are an extremely high upside stack tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Jose FernandezFernandez has struggled at times this season, but he has been elite at home. He always carries elite upside because of his strikeout potential. He gets a tough matchup against the Nationals, but he has dominated them in three starts this season. He's a -150 favorite in a game set at 6.5 runs, and Fernandez can be used in all leagues.

Rich HillHill has struggled with injuries this season, but he has been an elite pitcher when starting. Through 18 starts, he has a 12-4 record with a 2.06 ERA and a great strikeout rate. He gets a good matchup against a struggling Giants offense, and he's a -160 favorite in a game set at 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Yadier MolinaMolina hasn't been playing all that well recently, but he's too cheap for someone playing in Coors. He gets a great matchup against De La Rosa, and Molina is a consistent player with elite upside.

First Base (1B)

Hanley RamirezHanRam has been on absolute fire recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .400 with elite power. He gets a great matchup against Gausman, and HanRam can be used in all leagues tonight.

Second Base (2B)

T.J. RiveraRivera has been starting for the Mets recently, and he has been hitting extremely well. Over his last 10 games, he is hitting over .350 with decent power. He gets a tough matchup against Teheran, but Rivera is cheap enough to be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Andrelton SimmonsSimmons was recently injured, but he has since returned. He's hitting over .350 in his last 10 games with an elite combination of speed and power. He gets a good matchup against Griffin, and Simmons is entirely too cheap for his recent price tag.

Third Base (3B)

Nolan ArenadoArenado is hitting over .300 with elite power in Colorado this season. He gets a good matchup against Wainwright, who has really struggled on the road this season. Arenado is a consistent option with elite upside, and he can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Charlie BlackmonBlackmon has been one of the hottest hitters in the MLB recently, as he's hitting over .350 with elite power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against a struggling Adam Wainwright tonight, and Blackmon can be used in all leagues.

Trea TurnerTurner is another expensive option that has been too good to ignore. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .400 with an elite combination of power and speed. He gets a terrible matchup against Fernandez, but Turner has been able to dominate nearly everyone this season. He's a good GPP option.

Josh BellBell has been starting for the Pirates recently, and he's hitting over .350 over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Garza, who has struggled at times this season. Bell is cheap enough to be used in all leagues.
