MLB Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Baseball Advice for 4/22/16

 

It is always great when the Colorado Rockies come back to Coors Field!

The Dodgers and Rockies are both fantastic options tonight. Attack that game as much as possible.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/22/16. 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.

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers are traveling to Colorado to face off against Jon Gray. Coors Field is the most hitter-friendly ballpark in the entire league, so the Dodgers should be able to score quite a few runs. Attack them as much as possible tonight.

Colorado Rockies

Speaking of the Colorado Rockies, they are facing off against Scott Kazmir and the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Every single time the Rockies travel back to Colorado they end up being too cheap. Kazmir is a solid pitcher, but no one can escape the home run ball at Coors.

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants have not been playing well of recent, but they are still a solid stack in tournaments tonight, especially against Jarred Cosart and the Miami Marlins. There are plenty of great hitters on the Giants roster, even if they are currently slumping.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez has been pitching extremely well so far this season, and tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Los Angeles Angels. He is walking a lot of batters right now, which is not allowing him to pitch deep into games, but his ERA is currently one, and his K-rate is rather high. Use him in all formats.

Adam Wainwright

Adam Wainwright is really struggling to start the season, but tonight, he travels into Petco Park to face off against the San Diego Padres. The Padres really struggle at the plate, and Petco Park is the most pitcher-friendly ballpark in the league. Use Wainwright in tournaments, but avoid him in 50/50 contests until he proves to be a little bit more consistent.

Zach Davies

Zach Davies is currently the favorite over Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies for tonight. Davies is not a great pitcher, and the Milwaukee Brewers do not hit well. It looks like Vegas is all over Davies tonight, so that means he needs to find a way into a couple of tournament lineups.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Jarrod Saltalamacchia

Jarrod Saltalamacchia is on fire so far this season. He is hitting over .300 for the Detroit Tigers, and he also has five home runs. He should continue to hit well tonight against Josh Tomlin and the Cleveland Indians. Use him in all formats.

First Base (1B) - Lucas Duda

Lucas Duda is on fire right now for the New York Mets, who are really starting to heat up. He has a home run in three straight games now, and tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Atlanta Braves. Duda will be in a lot of RBI situations, and he has ridiculous upside for his price tag. Use him in tournaments.

Second Base (2B) - Neil Walker

Neil Walker gets a great matchup tonight against the Atlanta Braves, and he is on fire right now for the New York Mets. As previously mentioned, the New York Mets are really starting to get hot offensively, and Walker is hitting for a high average and showing off his power with home runs. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Shortstop (SS) - Corey Seager

Corey Seager is traveling to Colorado tonight to face off against Jon Gray. There is no way that Gray is going to keep down the Los Angeles Dodgers offense. Seager has a ton of power, especially for a shortstop, and a home run is not out of the question tonight. In fact, two home runs are not out of the question tonight.

Third Base (3B) - Nolan Arenado

Speaking of the Colorado Rockies, Nolan Arenado is going to have quite the night against Scott Kazmir. Kazmir is a solid pitcher, but Arenado is simply a better hitter, especially with the Coors bumps. There is no reason to avoid him tonight, and he can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Yoenis Cespedes

Yoenis Cespedes is playing extremely well right now for the New York Mets. He has power, speed, and a high batting average. There is nothing that this All-Star outfielder can't do. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight against the Atlanta Braves.

Ryan Raburn

Ryan Raburn hits left-handed pitching extremely well, and he is pretty cheap tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Coors Field is a great place for home runs, and when the splits are in the favor of the hitter, do not be afraid to pull the trigger.

Michael Taylor

Michael Taylor is leading off for the Washington Nationals tonight against Kyle Gibson and the Minnesota Twins. He is extremely cheap, and he has a lot of upside. Taylor is definitely not a 50/50 option until he proves to be a bit more consistent, but fire him up in tournaments.
