DraftKings seems to be pricing their pitchers a bit higher than usual to limit some of the ridiculous lineups being made. What I mean by that is earlier this season, you could play a five man stack against the Reds with two elite pitchers and three other good players, which would essentially win every time. Their new pricing will limit those types of teams.
Well, let's get down to it!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 6/7/16. 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
St. Louis Cardinals - Whenever a team is playing in Cincinnati, they make a great option. The Cardinals have loads of power and get a great matchup against Lamb. They are -168 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they can be used in all leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers - The Brewers are a sneaky stack, as their team doesn't look great on paper, but they do have loads of upside. They are -128 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they get an elite matchup against Sean Manaea. Milwaukee can be used in all leagues.
Boston Red Sox - The Red Sox have one of the best offenses in the MLB, and they get a matchup against Suarez, who is a spot starter for San Francisco. They are a favorite in a game set at 8 runs, and Boston is a great stacking option tonight.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Kyle Hendricks - Hendricks isn't going to come cheap, but he has been playing well recently. He has thrown 17 innings in his last two starts, and he gets a great matchup against the Phillies. He's a -225 favorite and he can be used in all leagues.
Jacob deGrom - deGrom finally looks healthy and his fantasy production has shot up. He gets a tough matchup against the Pirates, but he'll be playing in an extremely pitcher friendly stadium tonight. deGrom is a -138 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Matt Wieters - Wieters has been playing well recently, and he has been heating up over his last few games. He gets a matchup against Ventura, and this game is set to be high scoring. He can be used in all leagues.
First Base (1B)
David Ortiz - It's tough to avoid Ortiz right now. He's playing exceptionally well, and he gets a great matchup against Suarez. He isn't a cheap option, but he is an elite play at first base.
Second Base (2B)
Jurickson Profar - Profar has looked great for the Rangers in limited games this season. He's leading off, and he has displayed a great combination of upside and consistency. He gets a good matchup against Keuchel, who has struggled this season, and Profar is a great option in all leagues.
Shortstop (SS)
Eduardo Nunez - Nunez has been playing unbelievably well recently. He's hitting .400 over his last 10 games with good power and great speed. He gets a good matchup against Conley, and Nunez is an elite option.
Third Base (3B)
Danny Valencia - Valencia has been outstanding this season, as he's hitting over .300 with great power. He gets a great matchup against Davies in one of the most hitter friendly stadiums in the MLB. He has a tremendous amount of upside tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Matt Holliday - Holliday has been heating up at the right time, as he's traveling to Cincinnati tonight. He has dominated left-handed pitching throughout his career, and he gets a great matchup against Lamb tonight. Holliday can be used in all leagues.
Ryan Rua - Rua has crushed left-handed pitching this season, and in his career. He gets a good matchup against Keuchel, and Rua is a cheaper way to get a piece of the Rangers offense tonight.
Byron Buxton - Buxton struggled in his first stint in the Majors, but he has been playing well recently. He has displayed good speed, as he has two triples in only a few games. He is hitting late in the lineup, though, which will limit him a bit.
