DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

After a very sad day in baseball yesterday, it is time to finish up this last stretch of games before the MLB playoffs. There is still some fantasy to be had this season, and this column will help to pick up a couple of wins before focusing solely on football until the end of October when basketball begins.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/26/16. 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.

Editor's Note: Be sure to check out FantasyAces DFS contests. 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), normally a $59.99 value. Expert DFS research, sample lineups, matchup ratings and lots more!

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Cleveland Indians

It is possible that the Cleveland Indians score double-digit runs tonight against Buck Farmer and the Detroit Tigers. Farmer is not a great pitcher, and the Indians are one of the best offensive teams in the league. Stack them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Texas Rangers

Matt Garza has been horrible for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. He gets a very tough matchup against the Texas Rangers in hitter-friendly Texas, making the Rangers one of the best stacks on the board tonight. Use them in all formats.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Kyle Hendricks ($12,000)

Kyle Hendricks gets a great matchup tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates in pitcher-friendly Pittsburgh. In his last 10 starts, Hendricks has a 1.72 ERA and 6-2 record. He can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments without hesitation.

Jaime Garcia (vs CIN, $6,800)

Jaime Garcia gets a good matchup against the Cincinnati Reds tonight. The Reds hit much better in Cincinnati, so Garcia pitching at home is fantastic for his fantasy outlook. In his last game, he posted very close to 20 fantasy points, which is great for his low price tag.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C) - Yadier Molina ($3,600)

Yadier Molina has been crushing the ball of recent. He is hitting over .400 in his last 10 games with over seven fantasy points per game on average. He is the perfect catcher option tonight against the Reds. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

First Base (1B) - Carlos Santana ($5,100)

Carlos Santana is hitting almost .400 in his last 10 games, and he is hitting for a lot of power right now. With three home runs and nine RBIs in those last 10 games, he can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. The Indians, as previously mentioned, should score early and often.

Second Base (2B) - Scooter Gennett ($4,200)

Scooter Gennett is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games with double-digit fantasy numbers per game on average. He has three home runs during that time span, and tonight, he is hitting in hitter-friendly Texas. Use him in tournaments for the most part.

Shortstop (SS) - Asdrubal Cabrera ($4,400)

Asdrubal Cabrera, and the rest of the New York Mets' offense, has been on fire of recent. He is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games with almost 10 fantasy points per game on average. He has 22 home runs on the season, which is great for the shortstop position. Use him in all formats.

Third Base (3B) - Jose Ramirez ($4,800)

Jose Ramirez is hitting over .400 in his last 10 games with 12.3 fantasy points per game on average over that time span. He gets a great matchup against the Detroit Tigers, and his high price tag is definitely worth it. Use him in all formats.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Dexter Fowler ($5,400)

Dexter Fowler struggled to start the season, but he has been hitting well of recent. With a .341 batting average in his last 10 games, he can be used in all formats. The Pittsburgh Pirates are pitching Chad Kuhl, and he has struggled of recent.

Cameron Maybin ($3,100)

Cameron Maybin is hitting over .350 in his last 10 games with 10.7 fantasy points per game on average. He gets a very tough matchup against Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians, but his upside is too high to pass on him in tournaments.

 

Full Season MLB & DFS Premium Pass
