MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Expert Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks For Today (4/10/24)

Brice Turang - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Zach's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Thursday, 4/10/25. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.

On Thursday afternoon, Major League Baseball provides a nice five-game main slate for DFS fantasy baseball action. FanDuel also has an all-day slate that includes the nightcap between the Braves and Phillies. Each site also has smaller subsets of the five afternoon games if you want to play a turbo or express-style contest with games that start around the same time.

On the main five-game slate, the action starts with a pair of American League matchups at 1:05 p.m. ET. The Rays host the Angels to close out their three-game series, while the White Sox and Guardians clash in Cleveland. At 2:10, another AL Central matchup begins as the Twins visit Kansas City to take on the Royals. The only National League game is at Coors Field, where the Brew Crew looks to close out a sweep of the Rockies, and the last game on the slate is an AL East matchup between the Blue Jays and Red Sox at Fenway. This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 4/10/2024, with the first games starting at 1:05 p.m. EDT.

The lineup picks will range from elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports here. Monitoring injury news and today's MLB starting lineups is always essential. This post will focus on the five afternoon matchups but will include some extra options to consider from the night game in case you are playing the all-day contest on FanDuel. Whatever slate you choose to play, it should have helpful information.

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Gavin Williams vs. White Sox ($8.2K DraftKings; $8.4K FanDuel)

Williams has a great home matchup against the White Sox and is extremely affordable on FanDuel, where he has only the sixth-highest salary of the 10 pitchers on the afternoon slate. He has given up two earned runs in each of his two starts this season but was only able to go three innings against the Angels since errors led to a pair of unearned runs and pushed up his pitch count.

He had good stuff in that outing, though.

The 25-year-old showed a lot of strikeout potential in spring training, with 26 strikeouts in 17 1/3 innings and a 2.08 ERA across five games. He hasn't been able to go deep into either of his two starts with a limited pitch count that has been under 80 in both outings. Hopefully, he's more stretched out and can bring that high strikeout upside in his first home start of the season.

The White Sox had dropped seven straight games and lost key bats. Andrew Benintendi (adductor) is on the injured list, and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) is also banged up and could miss the game as well.

Chris Bassitt vs. Red Sox ($8K DraftKings; $10K FanDuel)

While Williams is very affordable on FanDuel, Bassitt is underpriced on DraftKings. The 36-year-old veteran has been extremely sharp in his first two starts of the season, allowing just one run on 12 hits in 12 2/3 innings against the Orioles and Mets. He had nine strikeouts against the Mets in a no-decision his last time out, earning 30.6 DraftKings points and 49.6 FanDuel points.

The Red Sox offense has been inconsistent this season. They have scored just four runs in the first three games of this series against Toronto.

Michael Wacha vs. Twins ($7K DraftKings; $8.6K FanDuel)

With limited affordable options on Thursday afternoon, Wacha is the best bargain pitcher on the board. The other options are either pitching at Coors Field or struggling badly to start the season. Wacha looked much better in his second start than in his first, although he took the loss in both outings.

He was tagged with four runs in five 2/3 innings in his last start, but two runs came around to score after he left, inflating his stat line. He cleaned up his wildness with just one walk after issuing four free passes in his first start of the season.

The games in this series have been relatively low-scoring, and the Twins are averaging just 3.5 runs per game while hitting just .203 as a team, with a .267 team wOBA and below league-average 74 wRC+.

Also consider: Jesus Luzardo at ATL (night), Jonathan Cannon vs. CLE

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Brice Turang - 2B, MIL vs. Ryan Feltner ($5.6K DK; $3.5K FD)

Turang is off to a sizzling start for the Brewers, who are extremely stackable at Coors Field. The leadoff hitter went 2-for-5 with three in Wednesday's 17-run explosion and is hitting .327 (16-for-49) with three home runs, two stolen bases, and an impressive .384 wOBA.

Last year, Feltner allowed lefties to hit .269 with 10 home runs and a .332 wOBA against him and posted a 5.10 home ERA. It's a great place to stack Brewers again on Thursday, and Turang is a great place to start that stack at the top of the lineup.

Jonathan Aranda – 1B, TB vs. Jose Soriano ($3.6K DK; $2.7K FD)

Aranda brings extra positional flexibility on FanDuel, where he can also slide to 2B, and he should be back in the lineup for the Rays since they're facing a righty. He got yesterday off but went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk on Tuesday in his last game to improve to 10-for-26 (.385) on the season.

Of those 10 hits, seven have been for extra bases with six doubles and a home run, boosting him to a .346 ISO and .492 wOBA on the strength of a 60 percent hard-hit rate.

Oliver Dunn – 3B, MIL vs. Ryan Feltner ($3K DK; $2.7K FD)

Dunn is a great, cheap way to get some Brewers exposure at Coors Field, especially on DraftKings, where he is one of the most affordable options at the hot corner. The 27-year-old lefty started the season 0-for-10 in his first five games but has hit safely in three straight and gone 4-for-14 with three runs scored and five RBI.

He was part of Wednesday night's offensive party, going 1-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. He's still in a platoon but should get the start against the righty on Thursday.

Also consider: Rafael Devers, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette

 

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Jackson Chourio - OF, MIL vs. Ryan Feltner ($6K DK; $4.1K FD)

Building around Chourio and a Brewers stack at Coors Field was not exactly a sneaky strategy on Wednesday night, but it paid off with Chourio powering the Brewers to 17 runs by going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and five RBI to earn 31 DraftKings points and 45.1 FanDuel points.

He started the season with that ugly five-strikeout game against the Yankees, but since then has hit safely in 11 straight games, going 17-for-49 (.347) with six doubles, a triple, four home runs, and a .461 wOBA. I'm going back to Chourio again on Thursday against Feltner in another smash spot.

Kyren Paris - 2B/OF, LAA vs. Zack Littell ($3K DK; $2.9K FD)

The only problem with the Brewers stack is that it's an expensive one, so let's close out with two great value plays, starting with the red-hot Kyren Paris of the Angels. Paris has four home runs in his last five games and is hitting .440 (11-for-25) in his first 10 games this season while adding four stolen bases as well.

The 23-year-old had a great spring training to earn his way onto the team and is forcing his way into playing time as a key contributor.

Kameron Misner - OF, TB vs. Jose Soriano ($2.9K DK; $2.6K FD)

Misner will likely return to the lineup against the righty Soriano on Thursday and should stay busy with multiple Rays outfielders on IL. Before getting Wednesday off, he was very productive when in the lineup, going 10-for-26 (.385) with three doubles, a triple, a home run, and a .463 wOBA backed up by a 57.1 percent hard-hit rate, per Statcast.

He's a great way to get some affordable pop in the outfield in hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field.

Also consider: Christian Yelich, Jarren Duran, Jorge Soler, Zac Veen
