By Keith Allison from Owings Mills, USA [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

The Yankees have recently called up a few of their top prospects, and they have looked outstanding. Sanchez, Austin, and Judge are a great trio for Yankees fans to look forward to in the future.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 8/16/16. 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. Well, let's get down to it!

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through October. Premium DFS lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more - seven days a week. You can see screenshots of our NFL Premium and MLB Premium and DFS tools. What are you waiting for?

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Washington NationalsThe Nationals have a great offense, and they will be playing in Colorado tonight. They get an elite matchup against Chad Bettis, and they are -136 favorites in a game set at 11.5 runs. They can be stacked in all leagues.

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies generally make an elite stacking option when they are playing at home, and that's the case tonight. They get a great matchup against Gio Gonzalez, who has struggled quite a bit this season, and they are underdogs in a game set at 11.5 runs. They may be best suited for GPPs tonight.

Baltimore OriolesThe Orioles have been a great offense at home this season, and they get a great matchup against E-Rod, who has an ERA over 5.00 this season. The O's are -114 favorites in a game set at 10 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Justin VerlanderVerlander struggled a bit to start the season, but he has been on fire recently. Over his last 10 games, he has a 5-1 record with a 2.81 ERA and a 9.8 K/9. He gets a decent matchup against the Royals, and he can be used in all leagues.

Ervin SantanaSantana has quietly been throwing at an elite level recently. Over his last 10 games, he has a 4-2 record with a 2.05 ERA and a 6.5 K/9. He gets a great matchup against a weak Braves offense, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Gary SanchezSanchez has looked great in his limited times in the Majors. He has displayed elite upside, although he gets a tough matchup against Estrada. He'll be playing in a small stadium, and he's an elite GPP option.

First Base (1B)

Joey VottoVotto has been as hot as anyone recently, as he's hitting over .400 with decent power in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Urena in a hitter friendly stadium, and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Trea TurnerTurner has been an elite fantasy option this season, as he has displayed elite speed and good power. He gets a great matchup against Bettis in Colorado tonight, and Turner is an elite player in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Jose ReyesReyes is healthy for the Mets, and he's now SS eligible on DraftKings. He has been a great fantasy option this season, and he gets a good matchup against Shipley in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Jose RamirezRamirez has been arguably the hottest hitter in the MLB over his last 10 games. He's hitting over .450 with good power and elite speed. He gets a decent matchup against Quintana, and Ramirez can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Jayson WerthWerth is surprisingly cheap for his situation tonight. He gets a great matchup against Bettis, and he will be playing in Colorado. He has been playing well recently, as well, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Adam JonesJones has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .350 with decent power over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against E-Rod, and Jones has dominated left-handed pitching through his career. He's a great play in all leagues.

Aaron JudgeJudge's price tag is surprisingly low for how well he has started his MLB career. He has displayed the elite power that everyone knew he had, but he gets a tough matchup against Estrada tonight. He is playing in an extremely small stadium, though, and Judge is a great option for his low price tag.
