Justin Bales's DraftKings MLB advice - daily fantasy baseball (DFS) lineup picks for 4/10/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your MLB DFS lineups.

We get a huge slate on a lazy Sunday, and this should be a fun day! Hopefully everyone enjoys some success today!

Who's ready to get down to business for the MLB season?

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/10/16. 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.

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

 

Colorado Rockies - The Rockies get another great matchup in Coors, as they will be taking on whoever the Padres can find to start in place of the injured Tyson Ross. The Rockies are -117 favorites in a game set at 11.5 runs. That means there will be plenty of scoring today, and they make the best stack of the day.

San Diego Padres - The Padres get a great matchup against Chad Bettis, who looked awful in nearly all of his starts last season. They are small underdogs, but the game is set at 11.5 runs, which means both teams should be doing plenty of scoring. They are better suited for GPPs, but they are great options in those tournaments.

Boston Red Sox - The Red Sox have one of the best offenses in the MLB, and they have been dominating early in the season. They are underdogs in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they have been underdogs nearly the entire series. They have loads of power throughout their lineup, but they also have consistent hitters, which is a great combination for stacking purposes.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

 

Matt Harvey - Harvey gets a great matchup against the Phillies, who have one of the worst offenses in the MLB. Harvey is a huge favorite in a game set at only 6.5 runs, which means there's a great chance he throws the shutout today. He can be used in all leagues.

Joe Ross - People may overlook Ross because of his statistics as a whole, but he's a dominant pitcher at home. He gets a decent matchup against the Marlins, who don't have a offense to shy away from. Ross should be able to dominate at home once again, and he's extremely cheap.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Francisco CervelliCervelli has been on fire to start the season, and he's hitting in the middle of the Pirates lineup. He gets a great matchup against the Reds, who will be pitching Melville tonight. Cervelli can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

David Ortiz - Ortiz has dominated early on, as he is averaging 17.7 fantasy points per game thus far. He gets a good matchup against Estrada, who has struggled throughout his career. Ortiz can be used in all leagues, as the Red Sox are one of my top stacks today.

Second Base (2B)

Brock Holt - Holt is another Red Sox who has been on fire to start the season. He has displayed shocking power, and he gets a great matchup against Estrada today. Holt will continue to have opportunities for runs and RBIs, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Eugenio Suarez - Suarez is starting at third for the Reds, and he's proving why the Reds made a great choice in getting rid of Todd Frazier. Suarez has dominated in the early season, and he gets a great matchup against Locke tonight. Suarez can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Tyler White - White has been as hot as anyone in the MLB, as he has homered in three consecutive games. He's hitting an extremely high average, and he gets a great matchup against an easy Milwaukee staff. He can be used in all league.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

 

Bryce Harper - Harper is already displaying his power this season, as he has two home runs in his first three games. He also has one steal, which shows off that he has speed, as well. He gets an easy matchup today, and he's the best outfield option on the slate.

Dexter Fowler - Fowler has been a great addition for the Cubs, as he's averaging 17.8 fantasy points per game early in the season. He gets a decent matchup against Shelby Miller, and Fowler will continue to hit in a great offensive lineup. He can be used in all leagues.

John Jaso - Jaso hasn't flashed much upside yet this season, but he has been consistent and he's leading off for the Pirates. He gets a great matchup against the Reds today, and Jaso is a great cash game option, although I may use someone with more upside in GPPs.
