DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Jose Berrios vs. MIA ($9,000 DraftKings; $10,000 FanDuel)
Given his 4.66 FIP, Berrios likely hasn’t been as good as his 3.38 ERA would lead people to believe. He has been a bit lucky, allowing a .251 BABIP despite his 41.8% hard-hit rate allowed being more than five percentage points higher than his career mark. Still, this is a favorable spot for him to finish the season on a high note, given that the Marlins have scored the third-fewest runs in baseball.
Pablo Lopez vs. BAL ($8,800 DraftKings; $9,400 FanDuel)
With their loss to the Yankees on Thursday, the Orioles are locked into a Wild Card spot. It would not be a surprise if they rested a starter or two. Lopez will look to keep the Twins’ faint playoff hopes alive at home, where he has a 3.12 FIP and 1.16 WHIP this season. After using eight relievers Thursday, the Twins would love for Lopez to give them length.
Landen Roupp vs. STL ($7,700 DraftKings; $7,000 FanDuel)
After initially coming up to pitch out of the bullpen for the Giants, Roupp is now starting. He threw 87 pitches in his last outing, logging five shutout innings against the Royals in Kansas City. Maybe his most encouraging stat this season is that he has given up just one home run over 46.2 innings. The Cardinals have scored the eighth-fewest runs in baseball, making Roupp a viable tournament option.
Also consider: Max Fried vs. KC

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Max Muncy – 3B, LAD vs. Cal Quantrill ($5,600 DK; $4,200 FD)
The Dodgers will require some monitoring because they have already clinched their division. The top overall seed in the NL is still up for grabs, but the Dodgers might not push for it. If Muncy is in the lineup, he is a great option in Coors Field against Quantrill. Quantrill has followed up his 1.46 WHIP from last season with a 1.49 WHIP this year.
Carlos Correa – SS, MIN vs. Cade Povich ($4,700 DK; $3,500 FD)
Correa did his part Thursday, hitting 3-for-5 with a home run and two walks against the Marlins. Since coming off the injured list, he is 13-for-37 (.351) with a .478 OBP. He has a 1.008 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, making him an appealing target for this matchup with Povich. Povich enters this game with a bloated 1.50 WHIP.

Spencer Horwitz – 1B/2B, TOR vs. Adam Oller ($3,700 DK; $2,800 FD)
Over his seven starts with the Marlins, Oller has a 5.06 ERA and a 5.25 FIP. He has been wild, posting a 12.2% walk rate on his way to a 1.47 WHIP. For his career, he has a 1.65 WHIP. Horwitz has used a good eye at the plate to produce a .348 wOBA for the Blue Jays, so he could provide value based on this matchup.
Also consider: Christian Walker, Xander Bogaerts, Enrique Hernandez
DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Jarren Duran – OF, BOS vs. Taj Bradley ($5,300 DK; $3,800 FD)
Duran is looking to put a bow on a breakout season that has seen him record a .211 ISO and a .346 wOBA. He has shown his combination of power and speed, accumulating 21 home runs and 34 stolen bases. Bradley can rack up strikeouts, but he has a 4.20 FIP and has allowed 1.5 HR/9. He has been particularly poor on the road, where he has a 4.99 FIP and a 1.36 WHIP.
Julio Rodriguez – OF, SEA vs. JP Sears ($4,500 DK; $3,400 FD)
Rodriguez’s hot streak down the stretch has helped salvage his season. Over his last 26 games, he is 42-for-117 (.359) with nine home runs, five doubles, and six stolen bases. That helped him record his third straight season with at least 20 home runs and 20 steals. He will look to stay hot in this matchup with Sears, who has given up at least four runs in four of his last six starts.

Wyatt Langford – OF, TEX vs. Reid Detmers ($4,200 DK; $3,300 FD)
Detmers has given up 14 runs over 7.1 innings in his last two starts. He allowed four home runs over those two games, bringing his total to 15 home runs allowed over 82.1 innings this season. Don’t hesitate to roll with Langford, who has a .272 ISO and a .363 wOBA versus left-handed pitchers.
