Below, you can find the MLB Daily Starting Lineups for each MLB game, every day. In fantasy baseball and daily DFS, it is very important check the MLB daily rosters and set your daily lineups. If someone isn't playing, you obviously want to bench him and replace him with someone who's starting. Missing out on key at-bats because you forgot to bench someone can be costly to your seasonal or DFS team's success.
In MLB daily leagues like FanDuel and DraftKings, it is even more critical to be updated on the daily MLB lineups. You don't want to set your roster only to find out that your player is benched and giving you a zero for the night. So check the MLB lineups below, check them often, and set your DFS and seasonal lineups to win!
Today's MLB Lineups - Who's Starting and Sitting
You can find today's Daily Projected Starting MLB Lineups below. Over the course of the season, we'll be adding more info and DFS features to this section. Stay tuned!

How Weather Conditions Impact MLB Lineups and Game Outcomes
While analyzing the weather is far from the most exciting aspect of fantasy baseball and MLB DFS, it’s important not to overlook it. Weather can impact player performance, but it can also postpone a game altogether.While you should always check in often to ensure a game hasn’t been delayed, knowing the weather forecast ahead of time can put games at risk of being delayed on your radar. Our MLB Starting Lineups page includes a real-time weather forecast for every game to keep you informed.
MLB Rain Delays, Postponements, and Fantasy Baseball Fallout
If you’re a seasoned fantasy baseball or MLB DFS player, you have likely come across the situation of unexpected rain delays or postponements throwing a wrench in your lineup plans. If you don’t catch the delay or postponement announcement in time, you will take a zero in one or more of your lineup slots, and losing a strong pitching start due to a delay can derail your entire day or week in fantasy.Knowing the MLB weather forecast is critical to setting optimal MLB lineups that are sure to play baseball without concerns.
MLB Wind Direction and Game Flow
Rain and storms are the most obvious concerns when it comes to weather, but don’t forget to check the wind forecast, too. Depending on the wind direction and speed, the potential for home runs and extra-base hits can be significantly increased or reduced. Again, it’s not the most exciting thing to dive into, but it matters.A well-known example is Wrigley Field, known for wind conditions severely affecting the Las Vegas game totals and money lines any given day. When the wind is blowing in at Wrigley field, you may end up with 7.5 total runs projected, but when the wind is blowing out @CHC, you will often find more historically favorable hitting conditions with total runs projected anywhere from 8.5-11.
MLB Temperature and Run Scoring Environment
In general, warmer and more humid air helps the ball carry farther, while cold air and arid air can lead to a less optimal hitting environment and a low-scoring projected runs scored total.When choosing between hitters or pitchers in similar tiers, temperature and humidity factors can be one of your tie-breakers. A great example of this is Camden Yards, known for becoming a “band box” during the peak hot and humid summer months.
Real-Time MLB Weather Tracking
MLB Weather and wind forecasts can and do change quickly and frequently, so our MLB Starting Lineups page is continually updated throughout the day to reflect the most accurate weather information possible.The last thing you want is to be under the impression that weather conditions are favorable, only to find out there’s been a shift that can create a rain delay or even a postponement.
Weather and DFS, Fantasy, Betting Strategy
- Fantasy Baseball Weather: When in doubt, avoid starting fringe pitchers in games with high delay risk. You shouldn’t risk the potential to earn a win if it’s a matter of choosing between potential starting pitchers.
- MLB DFS Weather: To break ties among similar hitters in the same price range, opt for the hitter set to play in a warmer game with winds blowing out. Conversely, look for the cooler temperature games with wind blowing in, or neutral gusts, when picking pitchers.
- MLB Betting Weather: While weather should not be the end-all, be-all for betting and MLB player props, examining whether a player is set to play in a favorable or disfavorable environment can serve as another data point for your over/under MLB home run props.
Ballpark Factors That Affect MLB Lineups
One of the many unique aspects of baseball is ballpark factors. Unlike most sports, where the field, court, ice, etc, is the same in all venues, where an MLB game is played can significantly influence player and team performance. Naturally, chances to hit a home run are greater in a ball park with a shorter distance to the outfield wall, but elevation levels and other factors should also be taken into account.Top hitter-friendly ballparks for home runs:
- Coors Field (Colorado Rockies)
- Yankees Stadium (New York Yankees)
- Great American Ball Park (Reds)
- Chase Field (Arizona Diamondbacks)
- Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox)
- T-Mobile Park (Seattle Mariners)
- Citi Field (New York Mets)
- Oracle Park (San Francisco Giants)
- Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers)
- American Family Field (Milwaukee Brewers)
