FanDuel is currently working through some pricing adjustments, or at least that is what it seems like. There are a number of players that are simply too cheap.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 8/12/16. 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 FanDuel.
Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through October. 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 for FanDuel
Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox get a great matchup tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Patrick Corbin in Boston. The entire team tends to hit better when playing at home, so the whole stack gets a bump. The Red Sox are going to score early and often. Use even the coldest of their hitting - David Ortiz and Xander Bogaerts.
Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies get a great matchup tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies and Jake Thompson. The Phillies' top pitching prospect surrendered more than enough runs to the San Diego Padres in his debut. This is not encouraging news, unless speaking to the Rockies tonight. They should tee-off against the obviously not major league ready Thompson.
Minnesota Twins
The Minnesota Twins are just plain hot right now. There are a few players on that offense that just cannot be stopped, so using them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight against the Kansas City Royals makes a lot of sense.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel
Stephen Strasburg is one of the most consistent pitching options in the league, and he should continue to pitch well tonight against the terrible Atlanta Braves' offense. With over 45 fantasy points per game on average this season, Strasburg is almost a must-start, even with a high price tag.
Dylan Bundy makes for a great play in tournaments tonight, despite his horrible matchup against the powerful Giants' offense. The Giants have been struggling of recent, but that doesn't mean they can be picked on. However, Bundy has pitched well in all of his starts this season, so he will be put to the test tonight. Who knows; he might pass.
DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel
Catcher (C) - Jonathan Lucroy
Jonathan Lucroy has been struggling of recent for the Texas Rangers, but he has a ton of upside and potential. The Rangers' stadium is solid for hitters, and Matt Boyd is not going to keep them off the scoreboard. Lucroy makes for a great tournament option at the catcher position tonight.
First Base (1B) - Joe Mauer
Joe Mauer is entirely too cheap. He is hitting over .400 in his last 10 games, and it is almost a guarantee that he is going to hit value. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments without hesitation.
Second Base (2B) - Logan Forsythe
Logan Forsythe is finally starting to hit like he did in the beginning of the season again. He has over 30 fantasy points in three of his last fives games, making him a great option in all formats, especially in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium.
Shortstop (SS) - Brad Miller
Speaking of hitting in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium, Brad Miller has just as much upside as Logan Forsythe. Pairing them together is perfect for tournaments, as it provides a ton of power and upside in two less-than-powerful positions - second base and shortstop.
Third Base (3B) - Jose Ramirez
Jose Ramirez is another player that is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games and happens to be entirely too cheap. He gets a good matchup tonight against the Los Angeles Angels and Tyler Skaggs, and he should be able to take advantage. Use him in all formats.
DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel
Eddie Rosario struggled in both of his last two games, but prior to that, he posted nine or more fantasy points in seven games, posting over 20 fantasy points in three of them. He has great upside, and he is actually rather consistent. At his price tag, use him in all formats.
Hernan Perez is way too talented to be priced this low. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. In fact, use him in every lineup. In his last game, he hit a home run and posted over 30 fantasy points. He rarely posts zero fantasy points, and he is likely to hit value.
