FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/19/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Tonight's main slate on FanDuel features 11 matchups. Note that the Reds-Royals action will not be on the slate as they are playing a double-header.

It should be another exciting night of baseball with plenty of interesting matchups around the league.

I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 8/19/2020. Be sure also to check out all the MLB player news including late scratches, and the projected and confirmed daily MLB lineups for each DFS slate. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like DraftKings, and other sports too.

 

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Gerrit Cole - NYY vs. TAM ($10,900)

Cole has been nothing but dominant since joining the Yankees this year, posting a 30.4% K-rate with just a 4.5% walk-rate, which is the lowest of Cole's career. He's a great option in both cash games and GPP contests, as it's tough to find his combination of high ceiling and high floor anywhere else.

Chris Paddack - SDP vs. TEX ($8,100)

Paddack is off to a rough start, but a five start sample isn't the end of the world for a guy who had a 3.33 ERA in 140 2/3 innings last year. This matchup against the Rangers is the perfect opportunity for Paddack to bounce back, as Texas has just a .287 wOBA versus righties, which is the fourth-weakest mark in all of baseball. Paddack will be at home in a pitcher-friendly park and should have no trouble providing value at this price.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Miguel Sano, 1B - MIN vs MIL ($2,900)

Sano has torched left-handed pitching throughout his career, with a 157 wRC+ in 2019, and he faces an easy lefty tonight in Brett Anderson. Anderson has a 5.78 FIP with a 1.64 HR/9 this season, so a Twins stack is one of the top options to consider. Sano is a perfect GPP play with his boom-or-bust profile, as he has massive power upside.

Garrett Hampson, 2B - COL vs. HOU ($3,200)

The secret is out on Hampson, but his price remains affordable on FanDuel, so he's impossible to avoid at a weak second base position. As the Rockies leadoff hitter in Coors Field, the league's best offensive environment, Hampson will have lots of run-scoring opportunities. Hampson is batting .300 and has an extremely high floor at home.

Jedd Gyorko, 3B - MIL at MIN ($2,200)

If you need a punt-type play in your lineup to save some payroll, Gyorko is your guy. He should bat cleanup for the Brewers against a lefty, which will give him lots of RBI chances at just above the minimum price. Gyorko has a .963 OPS against lefties this year and will be in a hitter's park in Minnesota.

Carlos Correa, SS - HOU at COL ($3,600)

It's no surprise that Astros hitters are expensive as they take on Coors Field, but Correa is much more affordable than some of his teammates. Even if you aren't rolling an entire Astros stack, Correa is a great standalone play batting .304 with a .396 OBP.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Ramon Laureano, OF - OAK vs ARI ($3,000)

Laureano is back from suspension and was having an outstanding season before getting interrupted, as he's got a 142 wRC+. An interesting change in Laureano's profile is his 13.8% walk-rate, which is more than double the walk-rate he posted last year. If he keeps getting on base anywhere near a .402 clip with his power-speed combo, Laureano will be a monster in fantasy leagues.

Marcell Ozuna, OF - ATL vs WAS ($3,100)

Take advantage of Ozuna and the Braves lineup , as Nationals starter Erick Fedde may be the weakest pitcher on the slate tonight. Fedde has nine walks to just five strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings, which are abysmal numbers, and it's incredible that he hasn't given up more runs yet. Ozuna should see a big night out of the Braves cleanup spot.

Eloy Jimenez, OF - CWS vs DET ($3,300)

Jimenez has been pounding the ball lately, with five home runs over the last two weeks. Eloy will be facing Casey Mize in his big league debut, who has great long-term upside but could easily get rocked in his first exposure to the majors.
