FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/4/16): MLB DFS Advice

By SD Dirk on Flickr [CC BY 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

It's time for the Wild Card round of the playoffs! It's only a two game slate, but we can still find some great fantasy plays.

Let's get to it.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 10/4/16. 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.

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

Toronto Blue Jays 

The Blue Jays get the best matchup in the Wild Card Round. They are -150 favorites in a game set at 8.5 runs, which is the best Vegas line on the slate. They should be able to hit Chris Tillman, and they are the safest stacking option.

New York Mets 

The Mets have a sneaky offense. They have been on fire recently, although they get a terrible matchup against Madison Bumgarner tomorrow night. Bumgarner has struggled at times on the road this season, though, and the Mets are a boom or bust stacking option.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Madison Bumgarner 

While the Mets do have a high upside offense, this game likely won't be featuring a ton of runs. Bumgarner has been an elite pitcher this season, and he's a small underdog in a game set at 6.5 runs. He does come with a small amount of risk, but there are only limited pitching options on this slate.

Noah Syndergaard 

This game will likely feature two pitchers that outscore both pitchers in the other game. Syndergaard has looked outstanding recently, and he gets a decent matchup against the Giants, who have struggled at times on offense this season. Syndergaard can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Matt Wieters ($2,800)

Catcher isn't a great position on this slate, but Wieters is the exception. He has been playing extremely well recently, and he gets a good matchup against Stroman tonight. Wieters is far and away the top catching option on this slate.

First Base (1B) - Brandon Belt ($2,800)

Belt comes with a low price tag because of the tough matchup, but he has been playing well recently, and comes with great upside. He has been a big part of the Giants offense recently, and he's a high upside GPP option tomorrow.

Second Base (2B) - T.J. Rivera ($2,700)

Rivera has been arguably the Mets best hitter since getting called up, and he is a consistent player with great upside. The matchup against Bumgarner is less than ideal, but Rivera has been able to hit everyone this season. He can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS) - Asdrubal Cabrera ($2,700)

Cabrera has been another crucial part of the Mets offense, and he has also been on fire over his last 10 games. He gets a terrible matchup against Bumgarner, but Cabrera has been consistent enough to be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B) - Josh Donaldson

Donaldson is one of the best hitters on the slate. He also gets a great matchup against Tillman, who has struggled at times this season. The Blue Jays should be able to score plenty of runs tonight, and Donaldson can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Mark Trumbo ($3,400)

Trumbo has been on fire recently, as he has displayed an elite combination of consistency and upside over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Stroman, and Trumbo can safely be used in all leagues.

Jay Bruce ($2,700)

Bruce has struggled for the Mets since getting traded, but he has been heating up recently. He comes with a low price tag, but he has elite upside. He is far from a safe option, but he's a great GPP play.
