DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/6/16): MLB DFS Advice

Justin Bales highlights the top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 9/6/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings MLB DFS lineups.

Does it surprise anyone else that the San Francisco Giants have the worst record in the MLB since the All Star Break? I would have guessed a team like the Tampa Bay Rays or Atlanta Braves, but the Giants have been on a downward spiral recently.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/6/16. 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: 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 on DraftKings

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies will be playing in Coors tonight, which means they are an elite stacking option. They get a good matchup against Samardzija, who has struggled recently, and they are -119 favorites in a game set at 11.5 runs. They can be stacked in all leagues.

New York MetsThe Mets have been heating up recently, and they get a great matchup against Brandon Finnegan, who has struggled at times in Cincinnati this season. The Mets have a powerful offense, and they will be playing in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. They are -117 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they are a high upside stacking offense.

Washington NationalsThe Nationals have one of the most high powered offenses in the MLB. They have an elite combination of speed and power, and they get a great matchup against Williams Perez, who has struggled this season. They are huge -240 favorites in a game set at 8.5 runs, and they are a great offense to attack tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Corey KluberKluber has been throwing as well as any pitchers in the Majors recently. Over his last 10 games, he has a 7-0 record with a 1.94 ERA and an elite strikeout rate. He gets a good matchup against the Astros, and Kluber can be used in all leagues.

Clay BuchholzBuchholz has been playing well recently, as he has a 2.52 ERA over his last 10 games, but most of those games were out of the bullpen. He gets a great matchup against the Padres, and they'll be throwing in one of the most pitcher friendly stadiums in the Majors. He's a great tournament option.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Buster PoseyPosey hasn't been playing all that well recently, but he gets a great matchup in Colorado against a lefty tonight. Posey has crushed left-handed pitching throughout his career, and he can be used in all leagues, as he should be able to continue that trend tonight.

First Base (1B)

Wilmer FloresFlores has been a great hitter on the road this season, and he gets a great matchup against Finnegan in a hitter friendly stadium. He has also been an elite hitter against left-handed pitching, and Flroes is a player that can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Brian DozierDozier has been an elite hitter over his last 10 games. Over that span, he's hitting well over .300 with elite power and good speed. He gets a great matchup against Gee, and Dozier should be used in all leagues if you have the salary cap.

Shortstop (SS)

Asdrubal CabreraCabrera is the Mets hottest hitter right now. He's hitting over .400 in his last 10 games with elite power. Their entire offense has been playing well, which gives Cabrera more opportunities, and he gets a good matchup against Finnegan tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Nolan ArenadoArenado is an elite option in Coors, especially when he's on fire. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting .400 with elite power. He gets a good matchup against Samardzija in Colorado, and he's a great play tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Trea TurnerTurner has been cooling off recently, but he's still hitting over .300 with elite speed over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Perez tonight. Even with his recent struggles, he can be used in all leagues.

David DahlDahl is a great option from the Rockies. He goes a bit under the radar, but he's hitting over .300 with a good combination of power and speed over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Samardzija, and he can be used in all leagues.

Kendrys MoralesMorales has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .300 in his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Santana tonight, and his price tag is surprisingly cheap. He can be used in all leagues.
