We have a relatively small Sunday slate, which is the case more often than not. With that being said, there are 15 total games today. Since these games are broken down into two slates, I'll be covering both slates.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/2/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me up on Twitter @BalesSJustin.

Lance Lynn - P, vs DET ($8,000)
Lynn has been struggling a bit in his last few starts, but he gets a great matchup against the Detroit Tigers today. Through two starts against Detroit, Lynn owns a 1-1 record with a 2.03 ERA this season. He has flashed tremendous strikeout potential since joining the New York Yankees, as well. Lynn is a massive -224 favorite in a game set at 9 runs, and he makes a high upside option for a reasonable price tag.
