DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/11/16): MLB DFS Advice

Justin Bales highlights the top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 10/11/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings MLB DFS lineups.

It is amazing how the Giants are able to pull off wins when the games seem out of reach. Best of luck to them.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/11/16. 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:If you like DraftKings, be sure to also check out FantasyAces. New users that sign up on Fantasy Aces and make a $20 deposit will receive RotoBaller's full season NFL Premium Pass for free (including Premium DFS & MLB Premium), normally a $59.99 value. Expert DFS research, sample lineups, matchup ratings and lots more!

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Chicago CubsThis is only a two games slate and the Cubs have the best offense on it. They proved they can hit anyone, as they were able to score against Madison Bumgarner last night. They get a much better matchup against Matt Moore today, and they are an elite stack.

Los Angeles DodgersThe Nationals have yet to name their starting pitcher, which isn't a great sign for them. The Dodgers have good upside as an offense, but they are a team that is best suited for tournaments today.

 

DFS Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

John LackeyLackey has been playing well recently, as he has an ERA under 3.00 in his last 10 games. He has struggled on the road a bit, but he gets a solid matchup against the Giants tonight. This game is set at only 7.5 runs, and Lackey can be used in all leagues.

Julio UriasUrias really found his groove to end the season. He gets a tough matchup against the Nationals, but the pitchers are limited on this slate. Urias has great upside because of his strikeout potential, and he's a good tournament option today.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Willson ContrerasContreras is hitting .500 over his last 10 games, and he gets a good matchup against Moore today. He's a great option at catcher, and he's safe enough to be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Ryan ZimmermanThere aren't many great options at first base on this slate, but Zimmerman has been on fire. He's hitting over .300 in his last 10 games, and he gets a decent matchup against Urias today. Zimmerman is the hottest player at first on the slate, and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Ben ZobristThe Cubs are the clear best option on the slate, and Zobrist is a player that has hit left-handed pitching well in his career. He gets a good matchup against Matt Moore, and Zobrist can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Brandon CrawfordCrawford is heating up at the right time, as he's hitting over .350 over his last 10 games. He gets a decent matchup against Lackey, and Crawford has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Javier BaezBaez played the hero in game one of the series, and he'll be looking to do that again tonight. He has been playing extremely well recently, and he has displayed elite upside over his last 10 games. Baez can be used in all leagues for his price tag.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Trea TurnerIt's silly to avoid Turner on a slate with cheap pitchers. He has elite upside because of his combination of speed and power. He is extremely expensive, but you should have the money to use him. He can be used in all leagues.

Joc PedersonPederson is another young player that comes with great upside. His matchup isn't known yet, but the Dodgers are a good offense on this slate. Pederson comes with a bit of risk, but he isn't all that expensive, and he's a solid option.
