The top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/12/21. John Brubaker's MLB DFS analysis and sleepers for building optimal DFS rosters.
Happy Sunday gang! We have an eleven-game slate on our hands this afternoon. The NFL season is here, so truthfully I'll be cutting back on MLB entries, especially on Sundays. As far as today's slate goes, though, we have absolutely no weather issues. However, if something comes up I'll do my best to update before lock if there are any other weather concerns with the guys I have listed below. Let's get right to it!
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/12/2021. The lineup will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also check out today's FanDuel MLB DFS lineup picks and read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports too. It’s also important to monitor injury news and today's MLB starting lineups. If you have any questions or comments, contact me on Twitter.

DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers
Max Fried - ATL vs MIA ($8.000)
We start off the slate with Max Fried, who comes into this one with a 3.42 ERA and a 3.53 xFIP. He gets a matchup with the Marlins, who he did struggle once against back on July 10, allowing three through five innings. He's figured it out of late though, going six innings or more in all but one start since. Good pitcher, good matchup, plug him in.
Logan Webb - SF @ CHC ($9,600)
Logan Webb has quietly been one of the best starting pitchers in the NL this year, coming into this one with a 2.66 ERA and a 2.80 xFIP. He draws a solid matchup against the Cubs, his first start against them this season. Keeping it short and sweet, another good pitcher, good matchup, plug him in.
Other Options: Lance McCullers Jr. ($10.100), Aaron Nola ($9,300)

DraftKings DFS Infielders
Manny Pina - C, MIL @ CLE
Manny Pina will start our day off today. Looks like it'll be Logan Allen starting for Cleveland, and with that we'll grab a guy who's got a .545 wOBA + ISO against southpaws this season. Some solid value at the catcher position.
Brad Miller - 1B, PHI vs COL ($3,700)
Brad Miller just rakes. He's got a 46.2% hard-hit rate against righties on the season, with a .616 wOBA + ISO and 129 wRC+ against them as well. He gets a strong matchup against Rockies righty Ryan Feltner. The Phillies make a solid stack today.
Luis Urias - 2B/SS, MIL @ CLE ($3,600)
Another Brewer in a favorable matchup as we go with Luis Urias, who's got a wOBA + ISO of .532 against lefties this season.
Eduardo Escobar - 3B, MIL @ CLE ($4,100)
Escobar has been great since coming over to Milwaukee. He's got a 43.3% hard-hit rate against lefties since he came over, paired with a .521 wOBA + ISO and a wRC+ of 118.
Did Gregorius - SS, PHI vs COL ($3,700)
Didi has struggled this season, with just a 25.4% hard-hit rate against righties this season. However, he's in a solid matchup and fits right into our Phillies stack, so he's in.
DraftKings DFS Outfielders
Avisail Garcia - OF, MIL @ CLE ($3,400)
The final hitter in our stack, Garcia has been great against left-handed pitching this year. He's got a .639 wOBA + ISO against southpaws as well as a 150 wRC+ and a hard-hit rate of 41.9%.
Bryce Harper - OF, PHI vs COL ($6,000)
Bryce Harper is continuing his push for the MVP here in September. He's certainly deserved this consideration, as he's hitting right-handers at a 48.2% hard-hit rate this season. His wOBA + ISO is off the charts at .793, as well as his wRC+ at 189.
Yordan Alvarez - OF, HOU vs LAA ($5,200)
Never expecting anything other than offensive firepower from Air Yordan, who's got a 37.5% hard-hit rate against righties this season. He's rocking a .625 wOBA + ISO and a 140 wRC+ as well. He's got a solid matchup against Jaime Barria today and should hit value.
