DraftKings MLB Lineup Picks (4/29/16): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a few great pitching options tonight, but they seem to be a bit risky tonight. They have great Vegas lines, though, and there may be a few games with lower scores than we are expecting.

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 4/29/16. 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

 

 

Arizona Diamondbacks - The Diamondbacks offense has been on fire early in the season. They are playing in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the MLB, and they get a great matchup against Chatwood. They're a -127 favorite in a game set at 10 runs, and they are the safest stack on the slate.

Minnesota Twins - The Twins are a risky stack, but they do have a powerful offense. They are a -115 favorite in a game set at 9 runs, and they get a good matchup against Michael Fulmer. Minnesota is a GPP only stack, but they have good upside and should be low owned.

St. Louis Cardinals - The Cardinals are going to be low owned tonight because they get a terrible matchup against Strasburg. He has struggled at times away from home, though, and the Cardinals offense has been great this season. St. Louis is only a GPP option, but they are the type of stack that could score a ton of runs and win you a GPP.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

 

Steven Matz - Matz has looked great in each of his last two games after struggling against the Marlins in his first start. He has loads of upside, and he's a fairly safe option. He gets a tough matchup against the Giants, but he's a -122 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.

Juan Nicasio - Nicasio has looked great at home this season, as he's boasting a 3.0 ERA and a 9.8 K/9. He gets a good matchup against the Reds in one of the most pitcher friendly stadiums in the MLB. He's a -150 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Welington Castillo - Castillo has been on fire recently, as he's hitting .333 with 6 home runs and 12 RBIs over the last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Chatwood, and Castillo can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Chris Davis - Davis has been struggling recently, but he's too cheap right now. He gets a matchup against Rodon, and the Orioles are projected to score quite a few runs tonight. Davis has two home run potential every night, and he's a great GPP option.

Second Base (2B)

Neil Walker - Walker has been on fire recently, and he can be used in all leagues. He has been playing unbelievably well this season, as he has 9 home runs in only 80 at-bats. Walker gets a great matchup against Peavy, and he should be used in all leagues tonight.

Shortstop (SS)

Zack Cozart - Cozart is playing as well as any shortstop on the season, as he's hitting .397 with 9 extra-base hits and 8 RBIs in 16 games. He's leading off for the Reds, but he's playing in an extremely pitcher friendly stadium. Still, he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Jake Lamb - Lamb has been heating up for the Diamondbacks recently, as he's hitting .333 with 7 extra-base hits and 5 RBIs over the last 10 games. The Diamondbacks are my top stacking option tonight, and Lamb is a great option for them.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

 

Bryce Harper - Harper should always be the most expensive player on the slate, and there is a problem when he isn't. On the season, he's hitting .318 with 17 extra-base hits, including 9 home runs, 24 RBIs, and 4 steals in 20 games. Harper can be used in all leagues tonight.

Michael Conforto - Conforto has been on fire since being moved to the third spot in the Mets lineup. Over the last 10 games, he's hitting for a .389 average with 8 extra-base hits and 9 RBIs. He gets a great matchup against Jake Peavy, and he can be used in all leagues.

Carlos Gonzalez - CarGo had to have been priced wrong tonight, as he was recently $5k and now he's only $2.9k, and he is playing in a hitter friendly stadium. There's no reason for that to happen, and CarGo should be used in all leagues tonight.
