FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/29/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Tom Vecchio highlights the top FanDuel MLB DFS lineup picks for 9/29/18, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

We have a few early games to work with today and then a nine-game main slate, where we have Coors Field. Last Saturday of action and we have plenty of options to choose from at each position.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/29/18. 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 Pitcher

Blake Snell - P, TAM vs TOR (FD - $12,000)

Future AL CY Young winner Blake Snell will have one more start to cement his very impressive season. He has nine or more strikeouts in four of his last five starts and has allowed two or fewer earned runs in 10 straight starts. He is up against the Blue Jays, who come in with a 22.3% strikeout rate vs left-handed pitchers and a .304 team wOBA.

Cole Hamels - P, CHC vs STL (FD - $8,700)

Hamels has allowed three or fewer earned runs in six of his last seven games and in a spot where the Cubs need to win. They have to still secure the division, so the veteran they acquired at the trade deadline will have to step up yet again. He has seven strikeouts in two of his last three starts and is up against the Pirates who come in with a 21% strikeout rate vs left-handed pitchers.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Tyler White - 1B, HOU @ BAL (FD - $3,800)

White comes in with a .382 wOBA and a .264 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season and is now up against Dylan Bundy, who is giving up 2.25 HR/9 to righties this season. The Astros are getting nice positive park shift being in Baltimore and make a nice stacking option tonight.

Jeff McNeil - 2B, NYM vs MIA (FD - $3,800)

McNeil has a .374 wOBA and a .133 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season. He is facing off against Trevor Richards, who is giving up a 41% fly ball rate and a 31% hard contact rate to lefties this season.

Kyle Seager - 3B, SEA vs TEX (FD - $3,400)

Seager and the Mariners come in with an implied run total set at 4.9, so you should be looking to stack them up a bit tonight. They are up against Adrian Sampson, who is giving up a .328 wOBA and 2.70 HR/9 to lefties this season. 

Francisco Lindor - SS, CLE @ KAN (FD - $4,600)

Lindor always has jack and bag upside, meaning a home run and a stolen base, which gives him some really nice tournament upside. He has a nice little three-game hitting streak to end the season with one home run and two RBIs.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Joc Pederson - OF, LOS @ SFG (FD - $3,200)

Joc Jams comes in with a .371 wOBA and a .289 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season and despite this being a pitcher's park, he is in a good spot. The Dodgers need to be winning this game to secure their playoff spot, so load him up with the platoon advantage tonight.

David Dahl - OF, COL vs WAS (FD - $4,000)

He did it again. He hit another home run last night, which now makes five straight games with home runs. The Rockies clinched their spot last night, but can still win the division with a few wins, so no resting for the starters tonight.
