There's nothing like spending your Sunday afternoon lounging on the couch and watching your DFS stack of hitters mash. Today we're going to help that become a reality for you.
I'll take a look at each position and build a lineup using my favorite plays on the slate. Our goal here is to take down a GPP and secure a nice return on our investment. Today's a tough pitching slate, so we're paying up at starting pitcher and stacking some value hitters. Always remember to stack your hitters to optimize your lineups!
In this article, I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the DraftKings main slate on 9/6/2020. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel and other sports as well.

DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers
Shane Bieber - P, CLE vs. MIL ($11,000)
Bieber has been the best pitcher in baseball this season, posting an absurd 35.8 K-BB%. He's rightfully priced high, but it's a good day to roll with him against a Brewers lineup that has posted a .290 wOBA (28th) and 27.2 K% (29th) against righties.
Robbie Ray - P, TOR @ BOS ($6,600)
This play could have you holding your breath, but we'll take the risk and roll the dice on Ray finding his form in Toronto. He looked pretty good in his Blue Jays debut, striking out four and only walking one while allowing one run in 3.1 innings. He makes for a nice pairing as the cheap alternative to go with Bieber's hefty salary.
DraftKings DFS Infielders
Gary Sanchez - C, NYY @ BAL ($4,300)
Sanchez is underpriced as a slugging catcher who is finally finding his groove, homering twice in his last seven games. He has a great matchup at Camden Yards against RHP Dean Kremer, who is making his MLB debut.
Eric Thames - 1B, WAS @ ATL ($3,400)
Thames is always in play as a cheap option whenever he faces a righty because of his power. He's a good fit for this lineup because we paid up for Bieber. Thames takes on RHP Josh Tomlin, who has struggled this season.
Mike Moustakas - 2B, CIN @ PIT ($4,900)
Moustakas has struggled this season, slashing .231/.337/.372 as he's dealt with injuries. This will make him an under-rostered option against RHP Chad Kuhl, who has allowed a home run in five straight games, racking up only five strikeouts in his last 15 innings.
Maikel Franco - 3B, KC vs. CHW ($3,600)
Franco is always in play against a lefty, slashing .400/.423/.520 against southpaws on the season. He takes on LHP Dallas Keuchel, who has been very good, but this could help keep Franco's roster percentage down. Keuchel isn't a pitcher to fear despite his recent success.
Freddy Galvis - SS, CIN @ PIT ($2,900)
Galvis makes for a nice cheap pairing with Moustakas against Kuhl. While he's only slashing .213/.295/.436 on the year, he does have sox home runs, so he's worth a look at this price.
DraftKings DFS Outfielders
Nelson Cruz - OF, MIN vs. DET ($5,800)
Cruz has a nice matchup against struggling rookie RHP Casey Mize, who has failed to pitch more than 4.1 innings in any of his starts this season. Cruz has hit safely in five straight, so perhaps this is the start of a hot streak.
Jesse Winker - OF, CIN @ PIT ($4,200)
Winker completes our Reds stack against Kuhl. He's enjoyed a breakout season, slashing .298/.407/.614 with 10 home runs. He has a reasonable price here, so we'll ride with him against a pitcher who I really think looks poised for a blow-up.
Jake Cave - OF, MIN vs. DET ($3,100)
Cave makes for a nice pairing with Cruz against Mize. He's a much better option whenever he faces a righty, as he's slashed .250/.308/.417 against them on the season.
