DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/20/16): MLB DFS Advice

There is a great slate of pitchers tonight, but that means you'll need to find cheap hitters. Unless you opt to save money at pitcher, but that seems like a risky strategy tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 6/20/16. 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: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week. All the tools you need to help win your seasonal and daily leagues: Hitter & Pitcher Streamers, Matchup Ratings for every player, Under-the-Radar Surgers for AVG, HR, Ks, plus daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Lineup Picks, Expert Lineups, Stacks and Avoids. 

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Seattle MarinersThe Mariners have one of the best, and most powerful, offenses in the MLB this season. They also play half of their games in an extremely pitcher friendly ballpark, which is more impressive. They are -115 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they get an elite matchup against Mike Pelfrey tonight. The Mariners are a great stacking option tonight.

Baltimore OriolesThe Orioles have an above average offense this season, but they have been the most powerful in the MLB, as they are leading the league in home runs. They get a great matchup against Derek Holland, who has really struggled this season, tonight. They are -116 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they will make a great option in GPPs.

Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox have been struggling a bit recently, but they have been great all season. They get a great matchup against Gonzalez, who has looked awful this year. They are -168 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, which gives them the best Vegas line of the night. They are an elite option tonight, as always.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Clayton Kerhsaw - Kershaw's price is getting a bit ridiculous, but if you have the cap for him, he's an elite option. He's a -183 favorite in a game set at only 5.5 runs, and Kershaw has elite strikeout potential, as well. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Doug FisterFister is a bit of a cheaper option tonight, and he has been playing well this season. He has a 3.26 ERA through 13 games, although he does struggle with his strikeout rate. He gets a great matchup against the Angels, who have struggled a bit this season, and Fister is a good option if you're looking to save money at pitcher.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Bobby WilsonWilson hasn't been playing all that well recently, but he's projected to draw the start and he has loads of upside for a catcher. He's extremely cheap, and he's the type of salary relief option that could allow you to get Kershaw.

First Base (1B)

Jose AbreuAbreu has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .350 in his last 10 games. He gets a tough matchup against Wright, who has thrown surprisingly well this season, but Abreu can be used in all leagues for his price tonight.

Second Base (2B)

Robinson CanoCano has been on fire for the Mariners, and they are one of the best offenses on the slate tonight. Cano has tremendous upside to go along with good consistency. He gets an elite matchup against Pelfrey, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Danny EspinosaEspinosa gets a terrible matchup against Clayton Kershaw, but he's hitting over .300 over his last 10 games. He has been extremely consistent with great upside, but he's best suited for GPPs because of the tough matchup.

Third Base (3B)

Evan LongoriaLongoria has been on fire for the Rays. He's hitting over .300 in his last 10 games with elite power. He doesn't get a great matchup against Tomlin, but it also isn't awful, and Longoria can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Adam JonesJones has been displaying a ton of power recently, and he has looked great over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Holland, and Jones has hit left-handed pitching well in his career. He can be used in all leagues.

Justin UptonUpton has really been heating up over his last few games. He's only hitting around .250, but he has displayed good power. He gets a good matchup against Karns, and Upton can be used in all leagues.

Jayson WerthWerth's price dropped because of his terrible matchup against Clayton Kershaw. He has been on fire recently, though, and he has dominated left-handed pitching in his career. He's cheap enough to be used in tournaments, but he isn't safe enough for cash games because of the matchup.
