DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/30/16): MLB DFS Advice

Justin Bales highlights the top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 9/30/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings MLB DFS lineups.

We're getting down to the wire, and there are some great battles going on for playoffs. It looks as if the Mets are going to make the playoffs, although they will have to win the "play in" game against the Giants or Cardinals. Regardless, at this point, this season has been a win for how many injuries they have had.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/30/16. 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: Be sure to check out FantasyAces DFS contests. 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), normally a $59.99 value. Expert DFS research, sample lineups, matchup ratings and lots more!

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies return to Coors to end the season, and they will make an elite stacking option. They get a great matchup against Brent Suter, who hasn't thrown much this season. Colorado is a -175 favorite in a game set at 12.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

Arizona DiamondbacksThe Diamondbacks are an offense that always come with upside, especially when they play in Arizona. That is the case tonight, and they get a great matchup against Edwin Jackson. He has a 5.77 ERA on the season, and the Diamondbacks are -150 favorite in a game set at 10.5 runs. They are a high upside tournament stack.

Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox return home tonight, and they are a significantly better offense in Boston. They get a good matchup against Marco Estrada, who has a 4.61 ERA over his last 10 games. The Red Sox are a -145 favorite in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

 

DFS Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Yu DarvishDarvish has dealt with a few injuries this season, but he still has elite upside. Through 16 starts, he has a 6-5 record with a 3.53 ERA and an 11.5 K/9. He gets a great matchup against the Rays, who have struggled offensively since the trade deadline, and Darvish can be used in all leagues.

Robert GsellmanGsellman is a part of the Mets rotation because of the injuries they are dealing with. He is coming off an elite start against the Phillies, and he will match up against them again tonight. He's extremely cheap, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Yadier MolinaMolina continues to be underpriced. He's hitting over .450 over his last 10 games, although he hasn't displayed much power. He's an extremely consistent option, but he does come with enough upside to be used in tournaments, as well.

First Base (1B)

Joey VottoVotto has been hitting at an elite level recently, and he will return to a hitter friendly stadium tonight. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .400 with great power. He gets a decent matchup against Hammel, and Votto can safely be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

DJ LeMahieuLeMahieu has been on fire recently, but more importantly, he will face a left-handed pitcher in Colorado tonight. He's hitting nearly .400 on the season at Coors Field, and he comes with elite upside, as well. LeMahieu is always a great option when he's hitting at home.

Shortstop (SS)

Jonathan VillarVillar hasn't been hitting for a high average over his last 10 games, but he has a good combination of speed and power. He'll be playing in Coors Field tonight, and Villar is an consistent option with tremendous upside. He gets a good matchup against Bettis, and Villar is a great option in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

T.J. RiveraIt's surprising that Rivera's price tag is still this low. He is hitting over .300 with decent power over his last 10 games. He is an extremely consistent option with great upside, and he gets a good matchup against Asher in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. Rivera can safely be used in all leagues for his low price tag.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Mike TroutTrout has been playing unbelievably well recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .300 with a good combination of power and speed. He gets a great matchup against Peacock tonight, and Trout has been playing well enough for all leagues.

Cameron MaybinMaybin's price never reaches the top of the slate because he isn't a huge name, but he's a great option tonight. He's hitting over .350 with a good combination of speed and power over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Wisler, and Maybin has been playing well enough for all leagues tonight.

Hunter RenfroeRenfroe was called up too late, but he has looked outstanding in his limited games this season. He comes with elite power, and he gets a good matchup against Shipley in a hitter friendly stadium. Renfroe is entirely too cheap, and he's an elite option in tournaments tonight.
