DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel
Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies get a solid matchup tonight against the New York Mets, and they are worth consideration in tournaments. Robert Gsellman looked solid in his last game, in which he pitched almost four innings, but that was the first time he pitched this season. The Phillies' stack upside is there.
St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals are definitely worth consideration tonight in both 50/50 contests and tournaments against the Oakland Athletics and Andrew Triggs. Triggs looked decent in a couple of his last starts, but he tends to implode on himself, and the Cardinals' offense is starting to heat up.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays have one of the most powerful offenses in the league, which is terrible news for Kyle Gibson and the Minnesota Twins. Gibson has been horrendous this season, and his woes are going to continue tonight. Stack the Blue Jays in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel
Doug Fister, compared to his price tag over at DraftKings, is a steal on FanDuel. He has been up and down of recent, so sticking to tournaments here is probably wise. In his last start, he posted over 50 fantasy points, so the upside is undoubtedly there. Use him in tournaments.
Ivan Nova is one of the best pitching options on the board tonight, and he is even worth consideration in some 50/50 contests due to his low price tag. He allows for some of the best hitters on the board. In his last game, he posted over 50 fantasy points, and he has been semi-consistent since pitching for the Pirates.
DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel
Catcher (C) - Gary Sanchez
Gary Sanchez is about as hot as they come right now at the plate. He is the quickest player to hit 11 home runs, doing so in only 22 games. He is hitting in New York tonight, so fire him up in all formats.
First Base (1B) - Mitch Moreland
Mitch Moreland gets a great matchup tonight for the Texas Rangers against the Cleveland Indians, and he is worth consideration in tournaments. He has a ton of power and upside, and his price tag is very low.
Second Base (2B) - Starlin Castro
Starlin Castro has high upside, especially when hitting at home. On the season, in Yankee Stadium, he is hitting over .300 with 12 home runs. Take advantage of his low price tag due to his struggles on the road throughout the season.
Shortstop (SS) - Jhonny Peralta
Jhonny Peralta is really starting to heat up for the St. Louis Cardinals. He should be able to at least hit value tonight against Triggs and the Oakland Athletics. In his last five games, he has two over 15 fantasy points.
Third Base (3B) - Manny Machado
Manny Machado has three home runs in his last three games, two of which came in his last game against the New York Yankees in New York. Yankee Stadium is great for power hitters, and Machado has both speed and power. Use him in all formats tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel
Cameron Maybin
Cameron Maybin is on fire right now. There is really no reason to avoid him. He has double-digit fantasy numbers in six of his last seven starts. His price tag is too low, and he should continue to excel tonight.
Aaron Judge really cooled down since getting called up to the major leagues, but he is back in Yankee Stadium tonight, and he has a lot of power. Use him in tournaments tonight, as most fantasy owners are 'over him' at this point.
