The top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on October 26th, 2019. Ben Rolfe's MLB DFS analysis and sleepers for building optimal DFS rosters.
Game 4 of the World Series is upon us, and with it comes another Showdown game. This matchup sees Patrick Corbin and Jose Urquidy going head-to-head in perhaps the least impressive matchup of the series so far.
This game has the total set at 8, largely because it is being played outdoors in Washington in October. The cold weather generally depresses run-scoring and a slightly in blowing wind should add to that. However, the Astros' league-leading numbers against left-handed pitchers mean that Corbin is not the slam dunk pitching option we may hope for.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/26/19. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. Be sure to also check out all the Vegas Odds for today's slate.

DraftKings DFS Captain Selection
Carlos Correa, HOU (@ WAS) - $11,400
When Correa has been on the field this season he has been good against pitchers of both hands. Against lefties he offers a solid floor, with a .308 batting average, .405 wOBA and a .231 wOBA. His solid numbers against right-handed pitching enusre that even late in games he can still provide you points.
DraftKings DFS Utility Selections
Jose Altuve, HOU (@ WAS) - $9,400
Another Houston hitter with solid all-around numbers, but with exceptional numbers against left-handed pitching. This season with lefties on the mound he has a .331 batting average, .346 ISO and .429 wOBA.
Alex Bregman, HOU (@ WAS) - $9,000
This price on Bregman is baffling to me when he has been so good against left-handed pitchers this season. It is hard to argue with a .350 batting average, .473 wOBA and a .393 ISO.
Yordan Alvarez, HOU (@ WAS) - $8,000
A fourth hitter with solid numbers all-around for the Astros, but with a .307 batting average, .342 ISO and a .422 wOBA against lefties he is a must-have in your lineup if he is active.
Yan Gomes, WAS (vs. HOU ) - $5,800
This is simply a cost-saving mechanism, while also trying to get a Washington player in the lineup. There is nothing amazing about Gomes' numbers, but he did hit nine home runs in the second half of the season, giving him a .259 ISO.
Robinson Chirinos, HOU (@ WAS) - $5,000
Another money-saving option here, with a .202 ISO and a .389 wOBA against lefties, Chirinos offers the potential for good value at this price.
