FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/22/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome back, Rotoballers. It's another wild Wednesday on FanDuel with all 30 teams in play, plus day baseball! Games start at 12:10 pm so keep that in mind when assembling your lineups. As for Vegas insights, the heavy moneyline favorites tonight are the Cubs (-285), Rangers (-205) and Mets (-180). The contests with the highest over/unders are the White Sox-Red Sox and Diamondbacks-Blue Jays (9.5).

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 6/22/16. 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: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week. All the tools you need to help win your seasonal and daily leagues: Hitter & Pitcher Streamers, Matchup Ratings for every player, Under-the-Radar Surgers for AVG, HR, Ks, plus daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Lineup Picks, Expert Lineups, Stacks and Avoids. 

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

Orioles versus Erik Johnson

It's been a slug fest this whole series between San Diego and Baltimore, and I don't expect that to end today. Johnson has struggled since joining the Padres in the James Shields deal, allowing 10 runs in 10.2 innings. He served up three home runs in his last appearance against the Nationals, and I expect the Orioles to treat him the same. The Orioles have 84 HR and a .807 OPS versus RHP, first and third in the league, respectively.

Diamondbacks versus J.A. Happ

Happ rebounded from two poor outings with seven innings of one-run ball versus the Phillies. But that was the Phillies and this is a much better lineup. The Diamondbacks lead baseball in home runs, slugging, and OPS versus left handed pitching and have been on fire this past week. Rogers Centre is one of the more hitter friendly parks on the slate today, making this an opportune stack.

Also Consider: White Sox versus Eduardo Rodriguez

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Cole Hamels (SP, TEX) - $9,900

Hamels has been superb for the Rangers in June, posting a 1.25 ERA and 15 strikeouts over his past three starts. He's been much better away from home as well (1.64 ERA, 0.92 WHIP) and gets a date in Cincinnati. The one concern is Hamels has allowed 15 home runs this year and GAB is a sandbox, but the Reds struggles versus LHP make this a solid play.

Jon Gray (SP, COL) - $8,100

Here's one for the early birds. Gray continues to impress for the Rockies, posting a 2.25 ERA and 23/3 K/BB ratio in June. The Yankees have a .699 OPS versus RHP, 24th in baseball. Look for more success from Gray today.

Julio Urias (SP, LAD) - $7,200

Here's what we know about Urias. He has dazzling stuff, tends to pitch deeper into counts than necessary, and has a short leash from manager Don Mattingly. But we also know he piles up the strikeouts in his shortened starts; he's had at least seven strikeouts and 30 FanDuel points in his past three starts. He has a limited ceiling but should provide a safe floor thanks to the strikeouts.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C)

Wilson Ramos (C, WAS) - $3,000

Urias is a tough matchup but Ramos has mashed left-handers (.553 SLG) and is crushing the ball in June (.351/.397/.649).

 

First Base (1B)

Wil Myers (1B, SD) - $3,800

Myers has been on fire this month, slashing .371/.425/.871 with nine home runs and three steals. He'll take a six-game hitting streak into this matchup with Mike Wright.

Also Consider: Freddie Freeman (1B, ATL) - $3,400

 

Second Base (2B)

Devon Travis (2B, TOR) - $3,400

Travis was recently moved to 2nd in the Blue Jays order thanks his 10-for-18 spurt this past week and gets a nice matchup here.

 

Shortstop (SS)

Trevor Story (SS, COL) - $3,000

Story has quietly put together a strong month including two home runs in the past week. CC Sabathia has been pitching well for the Yankees, but Story should continue his bounce back month today.

 

Third Base (3B)

Juan Uribe (3B, CLE) - $2,700

Uribe has been on fire, hitting home runs in four consecutive points and averaging 24 FanDuel points in that timeframe. Opponent Chris Archer piles up the Ks, but he also is prone to the long ball. Throw Coke Can back out there today.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - $3,800

Barry Bonds' pet project sure has turned out great so far. He's hitting .322 over his first 69 games, including a .982 OPS at home.

Justin Upton (OF, DET) - $3,200

I'm sure you're aware but Good Upton has shown up in Detroit. He's hitting .333 with 4 HR and 13 RBI over his last 33 AB. Make sure to utilize him before Bad Upton returns.

Jeff Francoeur (OF, ATL) - $2,700

Purely playing the L/R game here. Frenchy has a .316/.360/.468 slash versus LHP and has a reasonable price for tourney purposes.

Also Consider: Leonys Martin (OF, SEA) - $3,300 and Max Kepler (OF, MIN) - $2,900
