We've only got four teams left, leaving us with two games on Saturday. The Cubs and the Dodgers face off in Game 1 of their series, while the Yankees and Astros will play their Game 2. It's an interesting slate with only four teams to pick players from, but there's still lots of unique lineups to be made.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 10/14/17. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

Let's get to it, shall we?

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider

Luis Severino - SP, at HOU (DK - $8,700, FD - $10,100)

Severino absolutely dominated the Indians in Game 4 of the ALDS, where he struck out nine in seven innings, allowing only three runs. Of course, this start came right after he got bombed by the Twins in the Wild Card Game, so Severino can be considered a risky play. It's worth taking the risk on Severino, particularly in GPPs, as he has the monster upside he showed in his last start. Severino finished the regular season with a 29.4% K-rate and just a 6.5% walk-rate, earning him a 3.07 FIP. There's no doubt that Severino is a legitimate ace, so don't overlook him.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider

Kris Bryant - 3B, at LAD (DK - $3,700, FD - $3,600)

Look, I get it, nobody wants to start any hitters against Kershaw. But at this price, Bryant is completely worth it. Bryant destroyed lefties this season, putting up a 150 wRC+, including more walks than strikeouts. Bryant is one of the game's most elite bats, so if anybody's going to get to Kershaw, it's him. He's an outstanding contrarian play, as others may look to stay away from his matchup.

Starlin Castro - 2B, at HOU (DK - $3,300, FD - $3,000)

While he's not the most exciting play, Castro is a cheap bat who's worth looking at on Saturday. Castro's main appeal is that he's an above average hitter against both righties and lefties, with a 105 and 123 wRC+ against both hands, respectively. This means that he can't be neutralized by a bullpen specialist, which often happens in playoff matchups. Get Castro in your lineup as a safe, cheap play, and spend big on elite players elsewhere.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider

Chris Taylor - OF, 2B, vs CHC (DK - $3,900, FD - $3,100)

Taylor has a ton of value atop the Dodgers lineup, as he will get plenty of chances for fantasy points out of that position. Taylor will record more plate appearances than any other Dodgers hitter, which gives him an opportunity for lots of runs and RBI. He's a true five-category contributor, as Taylor can give you points with a homer as well as a steal. Taylor is a well-rounded player who you should try to get in any cash game lineups.

Aaron Judge - OF, at HOU (DK - $4,100, FD - $3,900)

It's easy to write off Judge after his rough ALDS, but don't forget the kind of season this guy has had. There is nobody on this slate with more potential for a monster fantasy performance than Judge, who hit 52 homers this year with 128 runs and 114 RBI. He's someone to target in GPPs.
