Welcome to Week 11 of MLB on DraftKings. It's a brand new week on DraftKings and another chance to hit it big. We have a smaller slate on tap (10 games) starting at 7:05 ET. The pitching isn't deep, so offensive stacks will be all the rage.
As for Vegas insights, the only heavy moneyline favorites tonight are the Blue Jays (-205) and Diamondbacks (-170), making R.A. Dickey a tasty play. The contests with the highest over/unders are the Tigers-White Sox (9.5), Braves-Reds (9) and Phillies-Blue Jays (9).
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 6/13/16. 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 DraftKings.
DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings
Tigers versus James Shields
Shields debut for Chicago was far from promising (2 IP, 7 ER) and gets to follow it up with a date versus Detroit. The Tigers .772 OPS versus RHP is sixth in baseball and this should be more of the same. The Tigers are slugging .453 at home (3rd overall) and should hound Shields today.
Padres RHP versus Wei-Yin Chen
This is a stack that could reap the biggest benefits in tourneys, as contestants are unlikely to stack the Padres. But the Pads have a .762 OPS versus LHP, eighth in baseball, and Chen has not won in five straight contests. Grab a share of Wil Myers, Matt Kemp, and Derek Norris.
Also Consider: Reds versus Aaron Blair
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Zack Greinke (SP, ARI) - $11,200
Greinke is a heavy favorite and has been on fire lately, including a three-hit shutout versus Tampa to pick his sixth straight win on Tuesday. Greinke has a 2.52 ERA versus his former team.
Chase Anderson (SP, MIL) - $7,700
Anderson, along with Zach Davies, have been the lone bright spots in the Brewers rotation. Anderson has a 2.03 ERA in his last five starts while the Giants .709 OPS versus RHP is 21st in baseball.
R.A. Dickey (SP, TOR) - $7,400
The Phillies .662 OPS versus RHP is 28th in baseball and I expect them to struggle with the knuckle. The Blue Jays are heavy favorites (-205) making this is a great opportunity to pick up a win on the cheap.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Russell Martin (C, TOR) - $2,900
Martin has started to heat up for the Jays (.912 OPS in June) and comes in at a bargain pricing. He's hit much better at home and will be in my lineups where I pay for Greinke.
First Base (1B)
Edwin Encarnacion (1B, TOR) - $4,500
E5 has been on fire in the past week, smacking three home runs and adding a steal to boot. His 43 point game on Saturday topped all hitters. He's slugging .573 at home in comparison to .415 on the road.
Second Base (2B)
Rougned Odor (2B, TEX) - $4,200
Odor has come back with a storm from his seven-game suspension, hitting three home runs in four games. While a L/L matchup with Sean Manaea may scare some, Odor has performed better versus LHP in 2016.
Shortstop (SS)
Francisco Lindor (SS, CLE) - $4,100
Lindor has been excellent in June, slugging .614 (best among SS) in 12 games. Opponent Edinson Volquez has been roughed up by the Indians in both appearances this year.
Third Base (3B)
Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) - $4,300
Lamb has cooled off lately but he continues to mash versus RHP (.289/.360/.548). This is an excellent spot for some tourney exposure.
DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel
Bryce Harper (OF, WAS) - $4,500
Kyle Hendricks is a formidable opponent, but Harper is heating up in June (.333/.412/.511) and has a home run to his name versus Hendricks.
Jay Bruce (OF, CIN) - $4,900
Bruce has surprisingly hit better away from Great American Ballpark and Aaron Blair has been awful at Turner Field (6.05 ERA). Bruce is part of the Reds stack tonight.
Robbie Grossman (OF, MIN) - $3,300
Grossman has already moved to the No. 3 hole in the Twins lineup and has posted a .924 OPS versus RHP. Ownership should be reasonable enough to make him a tourney play.
Also Consider: Adam Duvall (OF, CIN) - $4,600 and Bryon Buxton (OF, MIN) - $3,400
