FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/27/16): MLB DFS Advice

The pricing on FanDuel seems to be a bit questionable. Guys are extremely cheap, and it's fairly easy to construct a great lineup. With that being said, that also means it's easier for other fantasy players to construct dominant lineups, as well, so you'll have to be on top of your game to win.

This article will only be taking a look at the late slate tonight, but there are plenty of games to dominate your opponents with.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 7/27/16. 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

Chicago CubsThe Cubs have an offense that tends to dominate or struggle mightily. They should have no problems tonight, though, as they get a great matchup against Anthony Ranaudo, and they should easily be able to score runs tonight. They can be stacked in all leagues.

Texas RangersThe Rangers get a great matchup against Sean Manaea, who has found some success this season, but has struggled quite a bit on the road. He has also struggled against right-handed batters this season, and the righties throughout Texas' lineup make great stacking pieces tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Adam WainwrightWainwright struggled quite a bit early on this season, but he has been on fire over his last 10 games. He has an ERA under 3.00 in that span, and he gets a good matchup against the Mets tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Lance McCullersMcCullers has thrown well this season. He has a cool 3.33 ERA with an elite strikeout rate this season. He gets a matchup against the Yankees, who have struggled at times this season, but McCullers is best suited for GPPs tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C)

Jonathan LucroyLucroy has been playing well recently, but more importantly, he has flashed elite upside. He gets a great matchup against Bradley in a hitter friendly stadium, and Lucroy can be used in GPPs tonight.

First Base (1B)

Kennys VargasVargas seems to go on good and bad spurts more than streaks. Right now, he's hot, as he has scored double digit fantasy points in three of his last four games. He gets a great matchup against Foltynewicz tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Jose AltuveAltuve's price is a bit of a joke tonight. He has been on fire over his last 10 games, and he has flashed great consistency with elite upside. He should be the most expensive second baseman on the slate, and he can be used in all leagues for his price.

Shortstop (SS)

Jedd GyorkoGyorko has been playing unbelievably well recently. He has consistently been dominating with only a couple bad games. He gets a good matchup against Verrett, and he can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Javier BaezBaez is far from a safe option, but he has tremendous upside. He also gets an elite matchup, and the Cubs are huge favorites tonight. Baez will likely be a bit part of their offense, and he is a great GPP option.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Ryan BraunBraun has looked great over his last 10 games. He has displayed elite speed with five steals over that span. He has also displayed good power with three extra-base hits. He gets a great matchup against Bradley, and Braun can be used in all leagues.

Carlos GonzalezCarGo has scored fantasy points in each of his last eight games, including four games with double digit fantasy points. He gets a good matchup against Bundy tonight, and CarGo is an elite option in all leagues.

Miguel SanoSano is far from a consistent option, but he has been playing well recently. He is a player with elite power, which gives him great upside. He also gets a great matchup against Mike Foltynewicz, and he can be used in GPPs tonight.
