FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/21/16): MLB DFS Advice

The Chicago Cubs are still hitting in Coors Field, which means that attacking that game is top priority tonight. Who else makes for a great stack tonight? Who are the best pitchers on the board? Read on to find out.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 8/21/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on FanDuel.

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through October. Premium DFS lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more - seven days a week. You can see screenshots of our NFL Premium and MLB Premium and DFS tools. What are you waiting for?

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals are not going to be very highly owned tonight, but they do make for a great tournament stack against the Atlanta Braves and Joel De La Cruz. Atlanta is a tough place to hit in, but the Dodgers should not have too many issues. There are better 50/50 stacks.

Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs are one of the best stacks on the board, and for obvious reasons. The Colorado Rockies do not have a very solid pitching staff, and the Cubs have too much power to be hitting in Coors Field. Home runs are bound to come.

Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds get a great matchup tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Julio Urias. With so much power scattered throughout their team, and a much better team batting average at home, it makes sense to stack them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Danny Duffy

Danny Duffy gets a great matchup tonight against a Minnesota Twins team that is cooling down and loves to strikeout. Duffy has been great all season long, and his upside is through the roof. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Ervin Santana

For his price tag, Ervin Santana is possibly the best pitcher on the board. He has pitched well in four straight games now, and the Kansas City Royals should not give him too many problems. Use him in all formats. His low price tag will help with a Chicago Cubs' stack.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Gary Sanchez

Gary Sanchez makes for a great play tonight in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. He has been fantastic over his last few games, and he has five home run on the season now. The Los Angeles Angels are not going to be able to slow him down.

First Base (1B) - Joey Votto

Joey Votto has a ton of pop in his bat. He gets a great matchup tonight, as previously mentioned in the stack section of this article. With home run power and a game at home, he can be used in all formats.

Second Base (2B) - Howie Kendrick

Howie Kendrick has been hitting the ball extremely well of recent, and he gets a great matchup tonight against the Cincinnati Reds in hitter-friendly Cincinnati. He can be used in all formats, especially tournaments due to his power and upside.

Shortstop (SS) - JJ Hardy

JJ Hardy has great upside for how cheap he is. He is a very powerful shortstop, which is difficult to find, and he has a chance to crush value with a home run or extra base hit. Recently, he posted over 50 fantasy points in only one game, so the upside is there.

Third Base (3B) - Jose Ramirez

The price tag of Jose Ramirez continues to be a joke over at FanDuel. He is hitting the ball entirely too well right now to not be used in every single lineup. He has power and speed, stealing bases and hitting home runs over his last 10 games. Use him in all formats, obviously.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Aaron Judge

Aaron Judge has been great since getting called up from the minor leagues. He was one of the Yankees' top prospects, and he is quickly proving why. He gets a solid matchup tonight against the Los Angeles Angels, and he should be able to at least hit value.

Tyler Collins

Tyler Collins is worth consideration in tournaments tonight against the Boston Red Sox. He has some upside, and his price tag is very low right now. He has been starting for the Detroit Tigers, and he should continue to do so.
