Justin Bales' DraftKings analysis and advice. The top MLB DFS lineup picks on for 6/15/17, as well as a couple of sleepers for daily fantasy baseball rosters.

We have a small seven game slate tonight to go along with a small three game slate early in the day. Three games is not enough to comfortably make a team, which means this article will focus around the later slate tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 6/15/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Detroit Tigers vs Alex Cobb

The Tigers have been playing well recently, as they are hitting nearly .300 as a team over the last 10 games. They get a good matchup against Cobb tonight, and the Tigers have been a significantly better fantasy offense at home this season. They have a .843 OPS in Detroit as opposed to a .696 OPS on the road this season. Detroit is also a -141 favorite in a game set at 9.5 runs tonight, and they can be used in all leagues.

Colorado Rockies vs Matt Moore

As expected, the Rockies have been a better offense in Coors this season, as their OPS increases from .729 on the road to .817 in Coors. They also have a better team batting average and slugging percentage against left-handed pitching. Colorado gets a great matchup against Moore tonight, and he has struggled with a 7.94 road ERA this season. The Rockies are -142 favorites in a game set at 11 runs, which gives them the highest team total of the slate. They can be used in all leagues.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Chris Sale - at PHI ($14,100)

Sale is the most obvious pitcher on this slate, and his ownership is going to be through the roof. He has really cooled off after getting off to a hot start, but he still enters this game with an 8-2 record, 2.97 ERA, and 12.5 K/9 through 13 starts. He gets a great matchup against the Phillies tonight, but he will be playing in a hitter friendly stadium. Still, he's a -223 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.

Jordan Montgomery - at OAK ($8,600)

Montgomery has had a few ups and downs this season, but he has scored at least 24 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Through 11 starts, Montgomery has a 4-4 record, 3.55 ERA, and 8.7 K/9. He gets a solid matchup against the A's in an extremely pitcher friendly ballpark. Montgomery is currently a -116 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues on this slate.

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Ryan Hanigan - vs SF ($2,800)

Hanigan has looked decent in limited games for the Rockies this season. He has been a better fantasy option on the road this season, but that will even itself out in Coors. He has hit left-handed pitching well throughout his career, and he gets a good matchup against Matt Moore. Hanigan is a cheap way to get a piece of the Rockies offense tonight.

First Base (1B)

Alex Avila - vs TB ($4,100)

Avila has been somewhat cold recently, but he will be playing at home tonight, and he's hitting over .400 in Detroit this season. He has also been a significantly better fantasy option against right-handed pitching, and he gets a good matchup against Alex Cobb tonight. Avila can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Wilmer Flores - vs WSH ($2,900)

Flores has been on fire for the Mets recently, as he's hitting well over .300 over his last 10 games. He has also dominated left-handed pitching throughout his career, and he has been at his best in New York this season. He gets a good matchup against Gio Gonzalez, and Flores can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Didi Gregorius - at OAK ($4,200)

Gregorius has been overlooked a bit because of some of the other options in the Yankees offense. He's hitting over .450 with good power over his last 10 games. He has also been a better hitter on the road this season, and he hits well against right-handed pitching. He will face off against Sonny Gray tonight, and Gregorius is a great option tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Nolan Arenado - vs SF ($5,400)

Surprisingly, Arenado has been a better hitter on the road this season. He has hit well in Colorado, though, and he's hitting over .300 with decent power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Matt Moore tonight, and while Arenado does not come cheap, he can be used in all leagues.

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

J.D. Martinez - vs TB ($4,400)

Martinez has caught fire recently, as he's hitting .350 with tremendous power over his last 10 games. He will also be playing in Detroit tonight, and he's hitting nearly .350 at home this season. He gets a good matchup against Alex Cobb, who has struggled with home runs at times this season, and Martinez can be used in all leagues.

Jorge Bonifacio - at LAA ($3,200)

Bonifacio hasn't been playing well recently, but he has still found a way to stay consistent. He also comes with good upside. He gets a good matchup against Ricky Nolasco, and Bonifacio has been a much better hitter on the road this season. He is still fairly cheap, and Bonifacio makes a great option in all leagues.
