We're back on a two game slate with one game tonight and one game tomorrow. The game tonight is a "win and in" Wildcard game, while the game tomorrow is the first game of the Atlanta/Los Angeles series.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/3/18-10/4/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers
Hyun-Jin Ryu - P, vs ATL ($8,500)
I don't trust the Dodgers to allow their starters to throw deep into the game, but Ryu's numbers are difficult to ignore, especially on this slate. Luis Severino has struggled a bit to end this season, while the Oakland A's are running a bullpen game. It leaves only two options, and Ryu owns a 4-3 record with a 1.83 ERA over his last 10 starts. Mike Foltynewicz is also a great option, but I'm siding with Ryu, who is a -170 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs.
DraftKings DFS Infielders
Tyler Flowers - C, at LAD ($3,400)
While I like Hyun-Jin Ryu on this slate, it's impossible to ignore Flowers for this price tag. On the season, he owns a .348 average with a .606 slugging percentage and a .258 ISO against left-handed pitching. Overall, he features 0.226 wOBA and 0.177 ISO differentials against lefties. Flowers has been cold recently, but he comes with tremendous upside for a low price tag.
Jed Lowrie - 2B, at NYY ($4,300)
Lowrie has been a consistent option for the majority of the season, and he has scored fantasy points in nine of his last 10 games. He gets somewhat of a tough matchup against Luis Severino, but Lowrie owns 0.044 wOBA and 0.062 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He'll also be playing in one of the most hitter friendly stadiums in the MLB.
Didi Gregorius - SS, vs OAK ($5,200)
Gregorius has looked outstanding at home this season, where he's hitting .299 with a .572 slugging percentage and a .944 OPS. He gets somewhat of a tough matchup, as Oakland is running a bullpen game and can play with matchups. Still, Gregorius is averaging 10.4 fantasy points per game over his last 10 games, and he's a great option on this slate.
DraftKings DFS Outfielders
Giancarlo Stanton - OF, vs OAK ($5,000)
Stanton has caught fire to end this season, as he's hitting .300 with a .675 slugging percentage and a 1.079 OPS over his last 10 games. He also owns seven extra-base hits (four home runs) and 11 RBIs over that span. This will be a bullpen game for the Oakland A's, meaning they will try to use the best matchups possible against Stanton, but he's still a solid option on only a two game slate.
Nick Martini - OF, at NYY ($3,500)
You have to find value somewhere, and Martini is one of the top options. He's expected to lead off for the A's, and he owns 0.089 wOBA and 0.124 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He's also hitting .333 with three extra-base hits and five RBIs over his last 10 games. Martini is a consistent salary relief option on a limited slate.
