FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/7/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a split slate of games, with the early slate being the bigger one, but I will have players from both slates. There are plenty of good options across the board, and whether you are looking for cash game players, or some that are more GPP focused, you will find them on this slate.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/7/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me up on Twitter @DFS_Tom.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Jose Berrios - P, MIN vs SEA (FD - $9,000)

Berrios is coming off a fantastic start in his first game which was a complete shutout against the Orioles. Now he isn't going to have that level of production every time out, but the six strikeouts and only one walk is a very encouraging sign. He is up against the Mariners, who have a 20% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitchers to start the season, which isn't the highest in the league, but Berrios has shown he has the stuff to get it done. He can also limit the hard contact, as he only gives up a 26% rate.

Sonny Gray - P, NYY vs BAL (FD - $8,800)

Gray is up against the Orioles who are coming off a 14 inning marathon last night, so a chance for him to pick on a tired team who is playing a day game after a night game. The Orioles have a 29% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitchers, which is third worst in the league. He only went four innings in his first start but was able to rack up eight strikeouts. If he comes away with the win in that game, it would be much higher than the 33 FD points he got in that. He is a massive -230 favorite at home, so looks to be a solid cash game option for tonight.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Chris Iannetta - C, COL vs ATL (FD - $3,100)

Last season Iannetta had a .349 wOBA and a .255 ISO vs right-handed pitchers, and with this game being played at Coors Field, you certainly want some exposure to it, making Iannetta a solid choice. He is facing off against Anibal Sanchezwho is not good...actually, he is terrible. Last season vs right-handed hitters, Sanchez gave up a .413 wOBA and 2.68 HR/9. Those numbers are so bad, I'm not saying I could do a better job, but it could be close. A pretty straightforward game here, stack the Rockies against Sanchez tonight, and Iannetta is a cheaper option to do so.

Kendrys Morales - 1B, TOR @ TEX (FD - $2,400)

Morales is a cheap option today, who is in a great hitters park and is up against a bad pitcher, which should make him a solid cash game play. Last season vs left-handed pitchers he had a 165 wRC+ and a .236 ISO. Massive numbers from him, and he should crack the lineup, which will make him one of the more popular salary savers on the night slate.

Scooter Gennett - 2B, CIN @ PIT (FD - $2,800)

Gennett has nine hits in 26 at-bats to start the season but hasn't been putting up any RBI numbers. This is obviously bound to change, and is in a spot to do such, now that he is up against Kuhl, who gave up a .376 wOBA and 1.26 HR/9 last season to left-handed hitters. Gennett also has his success against right-handed pitchers, as shown by his 138 wRC+ and a .261 ISO last season. Not the best hitters park, but the hits are there for him, which will be enough for him to pay off salary.

Anthony Rendon - 3B, WAS vs NYM (FD - $3,900)

Rendon is up against Steven Matz today, who despite the hype around him, is not a good pitcher. Last year he gave up a .370 wOBA and 2.06 HR/9 to right-handed hitters. Those are exactly the stats the stats you want to key in on, especially for a hitter like Rendon, who had a .461 wOBA and a .346 ISO vs left-handed pitchers. The Nationals offense is very powerful, and this is the spot where you want to load up on the right-handed hitters.

Corey Seager - SS, LOS @ SFG (FD - $3,400)

Yes, I know what you are thinking. Seager hasn't gotten off to the best start by any means, that is a fact. But, he is simply way, way too cheap today, and truly tough to pass up. This guy has a .380 wOBA and a .201 ISO for his career vs right-handed pitchers. His numbers for this year are bound to rise, and this is the ideal spot to buy in low on him before his price jumps back up. He is facing off against Chris Strattonwho gave up a .355 wOBA to left-handed hitters last season. This isn't the best hitters park, but the Dodgers can knock this guy around with plenty of his, and Seager will be involved with that.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Eddie Rosario - OF, MIN vs SEA (FD - $2,700)

Last year Rosario had a .377 wOBA and a .268 ISO vs right-handed pitchers, which puts him in a good spot, as he is up against one today. That pitcher is Mike Leakewho gave up a .335 wOBA and 1.00 HR/9 to left-handed hitters last year. Rosario is on the cheaper side, which always helps your lineup, so take the power upside he has a low price.

Nick Markakis - OF, ATL @ COL (FD - $3,500)

Markakis is playing at Coors Field tonight and seems like he hasn't been priced up for that, meaning you want to take a cheaper option in the best hitters park. Last year he had a .323 wOBA and produced 80% of his RBI's against right-handed pitchers, and is facing off against one tonight, who gave up 1.33 HR/9 to lefties last year.
