By Keith Allison from Hanover, MD, USA (Taijuan Walker) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

Jason Bales analyzes his top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 9/25/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your FanDuel MLB DFS lineups.

The countdown to the end of the season is upon us. There is only one week left of baseball before the playoffs! That means there are only a few days left to win some money. Continue to use this article to help do that.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/25/16. 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 FanDuel.

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through the playoffs. Premium DFS research, lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more. You can see screenshots of our NFL Premium and MLB Premium and DFS tools. What are you waiting for?

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

Houston Astros 

The Houston Astros get a great matchup tonight against the Los Angeles Angels and Daniel Wright. Wright has struggled all season with a 7.48 ERA, so the Astros' strikeout-prone tendencies are not going to help him. The Astros should score early and often.

New York Mets

The New York Mets posted close to double-digit runs again last night against the Philadelphia Phillies. This team can hit. With a great matchup against Jake Thompson tonight, who has struggled all season long, the Mets can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Taijuan Walker ($7,400)

Taijuan Walker gets a great matchup tonight against the strikeout-prone Minnesota Twins, which means that his upside is even higher than normal. He is definitely more of a risk, but his price tag is also lower, than Jose Fernandez. His upside is just as high. Two games ago, he posted 72 fantasy points against the Los Angeles Angels.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Evan Gattis ($3,000)

Evan Gattis gets a great matchup against the Los Angeles Angels and Daniel Wright, and he has a lot of power and upside. On the season, the Astros' catcher has 30 home runs and almost 70 RBIs. Use him in tournaments tonight.

First Base (1B) - Tommy Joseph ($2,300)

Tommy Joseph has been hitting the ball well for the Philadelphia Phillies of recent. In his last start, he posted just under 20 fantasy points, and he gets a good matchup tonight against the New York Mets and Robert Gsellman. Use Joseph in all formats.

Second Base (2B) - T.J. Rivera ($2,700)

Speaking of the New York Mets, T.J. Rivera is playing tonight, most likely. He did not get the start last night, but with a batting average over .400 in his last 10 games, it would be surprising to see him sit out again. If he plays, use him in all formats.

Shortstop (SS) - Andrelton Simmons ($2,800)

Andrelton Simmons has been solid this season for the Los Angeles Angels, as he is hitting .279 with four home runs and 40 RBIs. He also has 10 stolen bases, which increases his upside in tournaments. With a great matchup against Joe Musgrove tonight, Simmons can be used in deeper leagues.

Third Base (3B) - Pedro Alvarez ($3,500)

Pedro Alvarez recently posted 18.7 fantasy points against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first game of this series. He should continue to hit well against the Diamondbacks' terrible pitching staff. Use him in tournaments.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Brandon Drury ($3,600)

Speaking of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Brandon Drury is hitting over .300 in his last 10 starts. His fantasy value in tournaments is through the roof right now. Use him until he cools down.

Justin Upton ($3,400)

Justin Upton gets a great matchup against the Kansas City Royals and Edison Volquez. In his last four games, he has nine, 28.2, nine, and 27.9 fantasy points. The upside is obviously there. The consistency is not, but his price tag is low enough to use him in all formats.

 

Full Season MLB & DFS Premium Pass

Get a Premium Pass for the entire MLB season - including the playoffs - for only $14.99. That's Premium access to over 10 tools, and over 20 valuable resources, for one incredible price. Here's a taste of what you get:

  • DFS lineup picks and cheat sheets for FanDuel and DraftKings - seven days a week
  • Three expert lineups: FanDuel, DraftKings, and Stack of the Day - seven days a week
  • Top DFS value plays, avoids and injury updates - seven days a week
  • Lineup tools: daily premium hitter and pitcher matchup ratings

 
All of this for just $14.99... it's simply the best deal around. No other site offers this type of deal. What are you waiting for?
