DraftKings MLB Lineup Picks (4/15/16): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The Tigers/Astros is one of the most intriguing matchups of the night. Detroit dominates left-handed pitching, but Keuchel is one of the best pitchers in the AL. It will should be a great battle to see who comes out on top.

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 4/15/16. 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

Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox have one of the best offenses in the Majors, and they have been on fire to start the season. Tonight, they will get a great matchup against R.A. Dickey. The BoSox are -111 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they should have no problems scoring.

Baltimore OriolesIt's a bit shocking that the Orioles are underdogs tonight, but that means they will likely be slightly less owned. The game is set at 9 runs, and there should be plenty of scoring. They get a great matchup against Martin Perez, and the O's are a great stacking option tonight.

Los Angeles DodgersThe Dodgers are a sneaky stack tonight, and they could help you win a GPP. They have a strong offense, and can really put up runs. They get a terrible matchup against Bumgarner, though, who has been dominant in his career. With that being said, he had a 4.15 ERA away from home, and the Dodgers aren't the worst team to throw into a tournament for upside.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Clayton KershawKershaw is an easy pick every time he's throwing. He's a -163 favorite in a game set at only 6 runs, and he has the chance for a complete game shutout on any given night. He can be used in all leagues.

Zack GreinkeGreinke has really struggled to start the season, but he gets a great matchup tonight. The Padres have been the worst offense in the Majors this season, and he'll be throwing in Petco Park. Greinke can be used in all leagues, as he's a -111 favorite in a game set at 6.5 runs.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Francisco CervelliCervelli is entirely too cheap for how well he has been playing. On the season, he's hitting .370 with 6 RBIs. He gets a great matchup against Nelson, and Cervelli can be used in all leagues for his low price tag.

First Base (1B)

David OrtizThe Red Sox are my favorite stack tonight, and Ortiz will be in the middle of their scoring. He's hitting .321 with 7 extra-base hits and 9 RBIs through 7 games. He gets a great matchup against Dickey, who has been struggling, and Ortiz can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Robinson CanoI love a good revenge game, and that's what this is. Cano has hit a ton of home runs in the Yankees small stadium, and it wouldn't be surprising if he does again in this season. He has loads of power for a second baseman, but he's a GPP only play, as he has been struggling this season.

Shortstop (SS)

Manny MachadoMachado is shortstop eligible, and it would be wise to take advantage of that. He's one of the best hitters in the MLB, and he has a great combination of power and speed. He gets a great matchup against Perez, and he can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Daniel MurphyMurphy has been playing exceptionally well this season, as he's .500 with 4 extra-base hits and 7 RBIs. He gets a good matchup against Hellickson in Philly's hitter friendly stadium, and he should have no problems continuing to dominate in this series. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Bryce HarperHarper should be the most expensive hitter on the slate, and he should be in your lineup if you can afford him. He has been playing extremely well to start the season, and he makes a great option in all leagues.

Jeremy HazelbakerHazelbaker has been on fire recently, and it'll be interesting to see how long he can keep this pace up. He's displaying tremendous power and speed, and he gets another great matchup tonight. His price still hasn't caught up to his production, so feel free to use him in all leagues.

Kike Hernandez - If you're going to use the contrarian Dodgers stack, Kike Hernandez will make a great option. In 2015, Hernandez hit .423 against left-handed pitchers, while he only hit .234 against righties. He should be leading off for the Dodgers, but he's still a GPP only option.
