FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/7/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome back RotoBallers. Got all your fantasy football drafts done? Good, because we've got a fun day on tap with all 30 teams in play and four day games starting at 12:35 ET. There's plenty of pricey pitching available (Noah Syndergaard, David Price, Carlos Carrasco) but there are tons of value plays I provide below.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/7/16. As for Vegas insights, the heavy moneyline favorite is the Red Sox (-210), boosting Price's value, and the highest scoring line is Giants-Rockies at 12. No surprise there.

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through the playoffs. 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

Pirates versus Mike Leake

Leake will be making his first start since August 21st (shingles) which it doesn't a normal injury. It's likely Leake's stamina will take time to rebuild and fatigue will settle in. For a pitcher he lives on location, this is a bad situation. Overall Leake has 5.71 ERA/1.44 WHIP in the second half and hitters are averaging .313. Multiple Pirates have had success previously versus Leake, including David Freese, Jung Ho Kang, and Josh Harrison, who all come at reasonable prices if you pay up for pitching.

Rockies versus Albert Suarez

I hate telling you to stack Coors because you know that, but with the next closest run total from 12 at 9, it is imperative you get some action on this game. Suarez has a 5.09 ERA in his past five starts on the road. All the usual suspects are in play today.

Also Consider: Dodgers versus Robbie Ray

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

David Price (SP, BOS) - $10,800

Price has eclipsed seven strikeouts in four of his past five starts and now has a date with the sputtering Padres. The Padres are hitting .199 in September and have struck out 49 times, third worst in baseball. Price is worth the price tag. (Throws tomato).

Jeremy Hellickson (SP, PHI) - $7,200

Hellboy was looking good in his last start versus Atlanta, holding them scoreless through five until imploding. This is a perfect spot for Hellickson to bounce back, as the Marlins have a .716 OPS versus RHP that ranks 21st in baseball. In the two previous times he faced Miami, he scored 57 and 27 points. He's an excellent value play tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C)

Yasmani Grandal (C, LAD) - $3,000

Grandal is on fire, hitting .333 with three home runs and nine RBI in his last 21 at-bats. The Coors contest and the Gary Sanchez effect should leave ownership low for Grandal, making him a safe play in all formats.

First Base (1B)

Miguel Cabrera (1B, DET) - $3,600

This pricing is ridiculous. If Miggy wasn't on fire I would make this a fade, but he is batting .407 with three HR in his past 27 at-bats. He also is hitting .366 with two HR in 41 at-bats versus Jose Quintana, a large enough sample size for my liking. Play him in all formats and accept the high ownership.

Second Base (2B)

Roughned Odor (2B, TEX) - $3,800

Yes, by all means, if you can afford Brian Dozier you play him till he cools off. But if you want to save some at second Odor is an excellent contingency plan. Odor has been just as hot, hitting .517 with six HR and 16 RBI. Don't be scared by the L/L matchup; he's hitting .277 with seven HR versus them in 2016.

Shortstop (SS)

Asdrubal Cabrera (SS, NYM) - $3,300

Cabrera is hitting .346 with three home runs in his last 26 at-bats and gets to bat at the second most favorable park on the slate tonight. If you play a late entry, I would pay up for Carlos Correa.

Third Base (3B)

Jung Ho Kang (3B, PIT) - $3,100

The Pirates have said Kang and David Freese will split time at 3B but I don't see how you sit Kang right now. He was averaging 20 FanDuel points in his five starts before getting hurt and went 3-for-5 with two HR last night. He's a strong play if you go cheap at 3B.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Trea Turner (OF, WAS) - $4,000

If you have to choose between Turner and CarGo, my vote is for the lower owned player. Turner continues to terrorize the league, hitting .344 with six HR and 21 SB. He's one of the safer plays on the board day in and day out thanks to Dusty Baker's willingness to let him run.

Angel Pagan (OF, SFG) - $3,300

What do we want? Cheap Coors! Pagan was quiet yesterday but should be a safe bet to produce while batting 2nd in today's 12-run contest. He is hitting .271 in 29 at-bats versus Jorge De La Rosa.

Yasiel Puig (OF, LAD) - $2,900

Puig is a complete headcase but he still possesses incredible power, as evident by his three-run HR last week. Puig had a .924 OPS versus LHP in 2015 and is 4-for-10 lifetime versus Robbie Ray. Should Puig find his way into the lineup, he should be a great low ownership option for pop.

Also Consider: Carlos Gonzalez (OF, COL) - $4,000 and Ender Inciarte (OF, ATL) - $3,100
