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

Welcome back, Rotoballers. It's a brand new week on FanDuel and another chance to hit it big. We have a smaller slate on tap (10 games) starting at 7:05 ET. The pitching isn't deep, but there's gems to be found.

As for Vegas insights, the only heavy moneyline favorites tonight is the Cubs (-245), making Jon Lester a tasty play. The contests with the highest over/unders are the Astros-Rangers (9.5), Blue Jays-Tigers (9) and Rays-Diamondbacks (9).

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 6/6/16. 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

Rays versus Robbie Ray

The Rays are always a fun stack, mainly because participants don't seem them as a potent offense. In reality their .811 OPS is third in baseball and their 22 home runs versus LHP are second in baseball. Ray has been awful at home this year, posting a 6.93 ERA and allowing hitters to hit .321 versus him. Love my right-handers in this contest.

Cubs versus Adam Morgan

The biggest favorite deserves to be mentioned. Adam Morgan has a 7.11 ERA and has given up six runs in three of his past four contests, including an outing in Chicago two weeks ago. The Cubs .791 OPS versus LHP is fifth overall. All of the Cubs are in play today.

Also Consider: Orioles versus Danny Duffy

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Jon Lester (SP, CHC) - $11,000

The biggest favorite versus a putrid offense. What's not to like? The Phillies are 29th among teams versus LHP and this should be no different with Lester on the mound. He's worth the price in 50/50 contests.

Michael Fulmer (SP, DET) - $8,500

Fulmer deserves more credit in fantasy circles; he is producing a 9.0 K/9 rate with a potent offense behind him. The Blue Jays have a potent offense, but they aren't clicking at full cylinders at this point. Ownership should be low today, making him a safe tourney play.

Matt Shoemaker (SP, LAA) - $7,900

If Shoemaker is not rostered in seasonal leagues you need to stop reading and go grab him. He has a 31/0 K/BB ratio in his past three starts. When a pitcher does that, you ask questions later and grab a share. The Yankees .690 OPS versus RHP is 25th in baseball.

Also Consider: Steven Matz (SP, NYM) - $9,700 ; Williams Perez (SP, ATL) - $6,400

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C)

David Ross (C, CHC) - $2,200

The goal here is to minimize costs behind the plate. Ross has a 1.182 OPS versus LHP and had a HR in his last appearance versus Morgan. If Ross doesn't play, I would grab Yasmani Grandal.

 

First Base (1B)

Logan Morrison (1B, TB) - $3,100

LoMo has been under the radar in fantasy circles. He has six HR in his last 56 AB, including a few steals. Don't be fooled by the lefty-lefty matchup; he's hitting .333 versus them in 2016.

Also Consider: Wil Myers (1B, SD) - $3,300

 

Second Base (2B)

Ben Zobrist (2B, CHC) - $3,400

Hope on board the Cubs train. Zobrist has a 1.008 OPS versus LHP in 2016 and should be right in the middle of an offensive outburst today.

 

Shortstop (SS)

Corey Seager (SS, LAD) - $3,800

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Seager smacked five home runs in his last series with Atlanta and will be at home once again. Nine of his 12 HR have come at Dodger Stadium.

 

Third Base (3B)

Evan Longoria (3B, TB) - $3,800

 

Longo has a HR in four straight contests (including two yesterday) and has a .306/.362/.528 split versus lefties in 2016. Ownership will be high, but he's an excellent 50/50 play.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Charlie Blackmon (OF, COL) - $3,900

All about grabbing players in hot streaks. He's hitting .300 with three home runs and eight RBI in the past week and has a solid matchup with Mike Bolsinger.

Trayce Thompson (OF, LAD) - $3,800

The only Dodgers doing much aside from Corey Seager are Chase Utley and Trayce Thompson. Thompson provides a power/speed combo and has recently moved to the 3-hole in LA. He's hitting .313 with a 2/3 split in the past seven games.

Nomar Maraza (OF, TEX) - $3,000

There's plenty of moving parts in Texas right now but Maraza has cemented his spot in the lineup. He has a .320/.379/.566 split versus RHP in 2016.

Also Consider: Adam Jones (OF, BAL) - $3,400 and Jorge Soler (OF, CHC) - $2,800
