DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/21/16): MLB DFS Advice

Justin Bales highlights the top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 6/21/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings MLB DFS lineups.

Tonight is one of the first times I've seen a game set at 10 runs outside of Coors this season. The Rangers are huge favorites, and they could be in for a huge night against the Reds pitching staff.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 6/21/16. 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

Texas Rangers - The Rangers get a matchup against Anthony DeSclafani, who only has a 2.08 ERA. He hasn't thrown nearly as well as that ERA indicates, and the Rangers are ridiculous -210 favorites in a game set at 10 runs. They make an elite stacking option tonight.

Baltimore OriolesThe Orioles have one of the most powerful offenses in the MLB this season, and they will be playing at home, where they are a better offense. They get a great matchup against Luis Perdomo, who has an ERA over 8.00 this season. The O's are a -182 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues tonight.

Miami MarlinsThe Marlins don't have one of the better offenses in the MLB, but they are a streaky team. They get a great matchup against Bud Norris, who has a 5.60 ERA on the road this season. The Marlins are huge -300 favorites in a game set at 7 runs. They are more of a GPP option tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Jose FernandezFernandez is coming off a bad game, but he had been on fire before that. He has been an elite pitcher this season, and he has one of the best K/9's in the MLB. He gets an elite matchup against the Braves, and he's a -300 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Aaron NolaNola has been a mixed bag this season, but he has looked good on the road. Through seven road starts, he has a 3-1 record with a 2.27 ERA and an 8.9 K/9. He gets a good matchup against the Twins, and Nola is a -116 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs. He's best suited for GPPs tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

J.T. RealmutoRealmuto has been on fire recently. He's hitting over .300 with decent power in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Bud Norris tonight, and Realmuto is a great option in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Prince FielderFielder has really struggled to display upside recently, which has caused his price to drop a bit. He gets a great matchup against DeSclafani, and Fielder is a cheaper way to get a piece of the Rangers offense.

Second Base (2B)

Rougned OdorOdor is on fire right now. He is hitting well over .300 in his last 10 games, and he has displayed great power. He also has good speed, and he's an extremely consistent player with great upside. He gets an elite matchup against the Reds pitching staff, and Odor can be used in all leagues tonight.

Shortstop (SS)

Zack CozartCozart has been heating up over his last few games. He has a few extra-base hits over that span, and he gets a great matchup against Lewis tonight. This game is expected to feature a ton of runs, and Cozart is a great GPP option.

Third Base (3B)

Adrian BeltreBeltre hasn't been playing all that well recently, but he also hasn't been struggling. He's a fairly cheap option, especially with his matchup against the Reds. Beltre has great upside, and he's best suited for GPPs tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Ian DesmondDesmond has been enjoying a great season. He's hitting over .300 with good power and speed. He gets an elite matchup against the Reds pitching staff, and Desmond can be used in all leagues, especially Rangers stacks.

Jayson WerthWerth's price shot back up tonight, but he gets a good matchup against Kazmir tonight. Werth has dominated left-handed pitching this season, and he has been on fire recently. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Carlos GomezGomez looks like he's finally healthy and his numbers are on the rise. He's hitting over .300 in his last 10 games, and he has displayed a decent combination of power and speed. He gets a great matchup against Santiago, and he can be used in all leagues.
