We're finally in the MLB Playoffs, which means we have small slates that we can take advantage of. It will be difficult to make unique lineups, but hopefully this article can help accomplish that.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 10/6/17. 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
Corey Kluber - vs NYY (DK - $12,000, FD - $11,100)
Kluber enjoyed a great season, recording an 18-4 record, 2.25 ERA, and 11.7 K/9 through 29 starts. He gets a decent matchup against the Yankees today, and they have been a boom or bust offense this season. Yesterday, Trevor Bauer held them to only two hits in 6.2 innings. They are a team that also strikes out quite a bit, and Kluber is an elite option on this slate.
DFS Infielders to Consider
Yasmani Grandal - C, vs ARI (DK - $3,500, FD - $2,800)
Grandal is a player that can always be considered when he is playing at home. This season, he's hitting a bit under .300 with a slugging percentage well over .500 in Los Angeles. He has also been playing well coming into this game, and he's an extremely cheap option. He gets a good matchup against Taijuan Walker today, and Grandal can be used in all leagues.
Jose Ramirez - 2B, vs NYY (DK - $4,900, FD - $4,000)
Ramirez is one of the hottest players coming into the MLB playoffs. Over his last 10 games, Ramirez is hitting well over .350 with an OPS north of 1.100. He gets a great matchup against C.C. Sabathia, who has had his ups and downs this season. Ramirez is not a player that is going to come cheap today, but he can safely be used in all leagues.
Alex Bregman - 3B, vs BOS (DK - $3,900, FD - $3,400)
Bregman was on fire before the playoffs, entering his first game with an average nearing .350 and an OPS over 1.000 over his last 10 games. In his first playoff game, he recorded two hits, including a home run against Chris Sale. He'll get another good matchup against a left-handed pitcher in Drew Pomeranz, and Bregman makes a great option on this slate.
DFS Outfielders to Consider
J.D. Martinez - OF, at LAD (DK - $4,100, FD - $3,800)
Martinez is surprisingly cheap on this slate. He's a player that dominates left-handed pitching, and he gets an interesting matchup against Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw has struggled throughout his postseason career, recording a 4.55 career postseason ERA. Martinez is coming into this game with quite a bit of momentum, and he can be considered in all leagues.
Austin Jackson - OF, vs NYY (DK - $3,500, FD - $3,200)
Jackson may only play a few innings in this game, as the Indians like to swap their outfields based on the pitching. Jackson is a specialist against left-handed pitching, and he gets a good matchup against Drew Pomeranz today. This is one of the best matchups on the slate, and while he may only see a couple of at-bats, that is acceptable for his low price tag.
