Get a leg up on the competition with this article.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/11/16. 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
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees get a great matchup tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays and Matt Andriese. Andriese has struggled this season, and he will continue to struggle in New York. The Yankees have a lot of power and upside at home, so use them in tournaments.
Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers should be able to score runs tonight against the Los Angeles Angels and Jered Weaver. Weaver has not been the pitcher that he was a couple of years ago, and the Rangers have a ton of power scattered throughout their lineup. Use them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
New York Mets
The New York Mets have been red hot over the last two weeks or so. With Williams Perez on the mound for the Atlanta Braves, the Mets should continue to score runs. Curtis Granderson, Jose Reyes, and Asdrubal Cabrera are all standout potential roster candidates.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel
Corey Kluber ($10,700)
Corey Kluber is the best pitcher on the board tonight. His price tag is not that much higher than Jake Arrieta's, and it is the same as Chris Sale's. Kluber has simply been better than both of them of recent, and he gets a great matchup against the strikeout-prone Minnesota Twins. He can be used in all formats.
Seth Lugo (at ATL, $6,800)
Seth Lugo has been solid for the New York Mets this season. He gets an easy matchup against the Atlanta Braves, and he could definitely hit value. With a 2.38 ERA, 3-2 record, and 32 strikeouts in 41.2 innings pitched, he can be used in all formats.
DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel
Catcher (C) - Yasmani Grandal ($3,000)
Yasmani Grandal has been hitting the ball rather well of recent with four home runs in his last 10 games. He has 25 home runs on the season and 64 RBIs to boot. Use him in tournaments especially.
First Base (1B) - CJ Cron ($3,100)
Colby Lewis is returning for the Texas Rangers, and he should be able to go back to pitching like he did before his injury, but CJ Cron has been too good to pass on him. This season, he is hitting .283 with 16 home runs and 62 RBIs. Use him in all formats.
Second Base (2B) - Devon Travis ($3,300)
Devon Travis is too cheap on FanDuel. He is hitting over .300 on the season with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs. With both consistency and power, he should be able to hit value against the Boston Red Sox and Clay Buchholz.
Shortstop (SS) - Tyler Saladino ($3,100)
Tyler Saladino has been great over his last 10 games. He is hitting over .300 with over 15 fantasy points in three straight games. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments until he cools down.
Third Base (3B) - Eduardo Nunez ($3,300)
The San Francisco Giants are finally starting to play better baseball. Eduardo Nunez looked solid in his last game, and prior to that, he posted over 10 fantasy points in three straight games. At his price tag, there is just no reason to not use him.
DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel
Curtis Granderson ($3,700)
Curtis Granderon has been on fire over his last few games. He has 26 home runs on the season and over 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games. The Mets are scoring quite a few runs per game right now, and Granderson should continue to play well tonight.
Jarrod Dyson ($2,600)
Jarrod Dyson has looked great over his last few games. He is showing both consistency and speed, which leads to tournament upside due to steals. In his last four games, he has over 10 fantasy points in three of them, one of which was over 25 fantasy points. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
