DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Chris Sale vs. SF ($10,200 DraftKings; $11,300 FanDuel)

Sale steamrolled the White Sox in his last outing, allowing one run and recording 11 strikeouts over seven innings. He has given up two or fewer runs in 10 of his last 11 starts. In those 11 starts, he has struck out 91 batters over 69 innings. The Giants’ lineup is much more dangerous than what the White Sox bring to the table, but Sale is still one of the top pitchers to consider for this slate.

Ronel Blanco at TOR ($9,000 DraftKings; $10,300 FanDuel)

Blanco allowed six runs over 5.2 innings against the Mets in his last outing, but only three of the runs were earned. He is in the midst of an excellent season with his 2.49 ERA, although his 4.43 FIP is more worrisome. Regression could be coming for his ERA, but it might not happen in a matchup against the Blue Jays. With some of their key hitters struggling, they have scored the eighth-fewest runs in baseball.

Michael Wacha vs. TB ($7,000 DraftKings; $8,500 FanDuel)

Since coming off the injured list, Wacha has allowed two runs and recorded 11 strikeouts over 10.1 innings. The veteran has proven to be a valuable addition for the Royals, recording a 3.91 ERA and a 3.61 FIP for the season. A favorable matchup awaits him against the Rays, who have scored the seventh-fewest runs and struck out the seventh-most times in baseball.

Also consider: Gavin Stone vs. ARI, Davis Daniel at OAK

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Spencer Steer – 1B/2B/OF, CIN vs. Carlos Rodon ($4,900 DK; $3,400 FD)

After such a promising start to the season, Rodon has allowed 21 runs (20 earned) across 13.2 innings over his last three starts. He allowed five home runs during that span while also recording a staggering 2.49 WHIP. This has the makings of a great opportunity for Steer to produce a stellar stat line. For his career, he has a .238 ISO and a .392 wOBA against left-handed pitchers.

Carlos Correa – SS, MIN vs. Keider Montero ($4,900 DK; $3,500 FD)

The Twins are going to be a popular team to stack with Montero on the mound for the Tigers. He has made two appearances in the majors this season, allowing nine runs over 8.2 innings. He walked a total of four batters and gave up three home runs. He has command issues, including walking 30 batters over 48.1 innings at Triple-A this year. Correa, who has a .378 wOBA, is a top option to build any Twins stack around.

Jonathan India – 2B, CIN vs. Carlos Rodon ($4,000 DK; $3,000 FD)

India is firing on all cylinders right now. Over his last 13 games, he is 22-for-48 (.458) with 12 doubles and a home run. During his hot streak, he has a 10.7 percent walk rate to go along with his 8.9 percent strikeout rate. With how awful Rodon has been, don’t expect him to be the pitcher that finally slows India down.

Also consider: Freddie Freeman, Ryan McMahon, Austin Riley

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Christian Yelich - OF, MIL vs. Dakota Hudson ($6,300 DK; $4,500 FD)

Playing at Coors Field already increases Yelich’s upside. A matchup against Hudson further tilts the scales in his favor. In his first season with the Rockies, Hudson has a 5.84 ERA and a 5.28 FIP. At Coors Field, he has a 6.21 FIP and a staggering 2.13 WHIP. Yelich comes with a hefty salary, but he could be well worth it.

Brenton Doyle – OF, COL vs. Colin Rea ($4,900 DK; $3,500 FD)

Doyle is 5-for-7 with three home runs, five RBI, four runs scored, and one stolen base in the first two games of this series. He only has a .561 OPS on the road this season, but he has a .966 OPS at home. A lot of the players on both the Rockies and Brewers have inflated salaries because of this game being played at Coors Field, but Doyle comes at a reasonable price that won’t wreck your budget on both sites.

Brenton Doyle has his 10th dinger of the year, matching his total from all of 2023.

It’s also a home run in two consecutive at-bats. Three homers in two games. Four homers in four games. pic.twitter.com/KBebHkBf5G

Trevor Larnach – OF, MIN vs. Keider Montero ($3,900 DK; $2,900 FD)

This game being played in Minnesota is a bonus for Larnach. He only has a .140 ISO and a .293 wOBA on the road, but he has a .232 ISO and a .355 wOBA at home. Combine those splits with his ideal matchup against Montero, and he has the potential to provide significant value.

Also consider: Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez, Adolis Garcia
