FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/27/16): MLB DFS Advice

There are a ton of great tournament plays tonight.

The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies are obvious tonight. Who else makes for a great stack?

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 5/27/16. 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.

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants are hitting in Colorado tonight against the Rockies. Coors Field is fantastic for hitters, and the Giants have great upside regardless of the stadium they play in. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are finally back at home. They hit much better in Colorado, and Matt Cain has been horrible so far this season. This game could get out of hand quick.

Detroit Tigers

The Oakland Athletics have one of the worst pitching staffs in the league, and the Detroit Tigers have great upside. Victor Martinez, Nick Castellanos, and Ian Kinsler all make for great options.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez is a very high upside pitcher, especially tonight against the Minnesota Twins. The Twins love to strikeout, and Hernandez relies on strikeouts for fantasy points. Use him in tournaments.

Adam Conley

Adam Conley has been pitching great so far this season, and he gets a great matchup against the Atlanta Braves. Conley will likely keep this game low-scoring, and he should at least hit value. Use him in 50/50 contests and tournaments.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Salvador Perez

Salvador Perez has been fantastic of recent for the Kansas City Royals, and he has a ton of power for a catcher. The position is pretty weak this season, and unless using Buster Posey in Coors Field, fire up Perez.

First Base (1B) - Brandon Belt

Brandon Belt gets a great matchup in Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies. He has a ton of power, and he is a huge run producer for the Giants' offense. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Second Base (2B) - Neil Walker

Neil Walker is too cheap to not use him in tournaments. He gets a decent matchup tonight, and he has the ability to post over 20 fantasy points in a single game. At a sub-$3,000, that is solid upside.

Shortstop (SS) - Zack Cozart

Zack Cozart is one of the better hitting shortstops in the league, and he has a ton of power. Use him in tournaments due to his ability to hit the ball over the fence.

Third Base (3B) - Todd Frazier

Todd Frazier has a low batting average so far this season, but he does have double-digit home runs. His upside is through the roof, but do not use him in 50/50 contests, as he has not been very consistent.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Mookie Betts

Mookie Betts gets a solid matchup tonight for the Boston Red Sox, and he should be good and rested. He is going to resume hitting leadoff, and he is a big part of the Sox offense. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Ryan Braun 

Ryan Braun is having a great season. As long as he is not on the disabled list, he is racking up the base hits and fantasy points. With a batting average over .300, it is safe to use the speedy, powerful outfielder in 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Carlos Beltran

Carlos Beltran has been great of recent, and despite his bad matchup, he has great upside. He is tearing the cover off the ball right now for the New York Yankees. Avoid him in 50/50 contests, but use him in tournaments.
