DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/6/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Even with just three games on tonight's DraftKings slate, there are still tons of MLB contests to choose from.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/6/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @TroyKlauder.

DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers

Zack Greinke - P, vs ATL ($9,100)

Greinke is pretty much a must-start as the top starting pitcher on tonight's slate. He's got a 2.70 Deserved Run Average this year and will make his start in pitcher-friendly Chase Field, where he's got a 2.16 ERA in 2018. The Braves have been a below-average lineup this season with a .314 wOBA versus right-handed pitching, so Greinke is definitely your best shot at an elite pitching performance.

Shane Bieber - P, at TOR ($8,000)

I don't love Bieber's matchup here, but there's not much else to choose from on a short slate. Bieber has pitched much better than his ERA would suggest, as he's got a 3.23 FIP and a 3.49 SIERA this season. This is a nice opportunity to buy low on the Biebs while others are targeting Strasburg and Sanchez.

 

DraftKings DFS Infielders

Ryan Zimmerman - 1B, vs CHC ($4,000)

Zimmerman has come back to life over the last month, batting .330 with a 1.040 OPS and six homers. Stacking Nationals bats against Kyle Hendricks looks like it could be one of the best strategies tonight, as Hendricks has just a 19.9% K-rate and a 4.07 SIERA.

Daniel Murphy - 2B, at WAS ($4,000)

While facing Stephen Strasburg isn't an optimal matchup, Murphy can still give you a ton of value as the Cubs leadoff hitter at this price. Murph has a .918 OPS in the last 15 days and will maximize his plate appearances as the first hitter, which is even more valuable on a slate like tonight's.

Jose Ramirez - 3B, at TOR ($5,300)

Since you won't be able to spend big on pitching, you should have some payroll available for elite bats. Ramirez is the best fantasy player on the slate and should have a big night in Toronto against Sam Gaviglio, owner of a 5.02 ERA.

Trea Turner - SS, vs CHC ($5,100)

Turner is another elite bat that I'm willing to pay up for. His power/speed combo out of the Nationals two-hole can make for a huge performance any time he plays.

 

DraftKings DFS Outfielders

A.J. Pollock - OF, vs ATL ($4,000)

Pollock is insanely cold right now, but that just means that it's a good time to buy low on him. He's still batting second in the DBacks order and I'm not a big believer in Anibal Sanchez, who has a 3.75 FIP and a 3.87 SIERA, almost a whole run worse than his ERA.

Greg Allen - OF, at TOR ($3,400)

It sucks that he bats ninth, but Allen is a cheap way of getting plate apperances against the worst starter on tonight's slate in Sam Gaviglio. Allen can score you some points on the basepaths and should have the opportunity to score some runs.

Victor Robles - OF, vs CHC ($3,100)

Check to see if Robles is in the lineup, as you can grab the exciting top prospect for a low price. Robles was among the most highly-touted prospects this year before injuring his elbow, and can give you a great game in GPP contests if he starts.
