There are a few early games, but the majority of the games tonight are for a late slate. That means there will plenty of great options to fit into your lineups tonight.
Who's ready to get down to business for the MLB season?
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/12/16. 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
San Francisco Giants - The Giants have been one of the hottest offenses in the MLB to start the season. Tonight, they will be traveling to Coors, and they are -131 favorites in a game set at 10.5 runs. On top of that, they aren't all that expensive to stack tonight. They will likely be extremely high owned.
Colorado Rockies - The Rockies make a great option tonight, as they will be playing in Coors against Shark, who has really been struggling recently in his career. The Rockies are underdogs, but the game is set at 10.5 runs, which means there will be plenty to go around. They are better suited for GPPs.
Boston Red Sox - The Red Sox have been another offense that has been playing extremely well this season, although they tend to stay fairly low owned on big nights in DFS. They are -158 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they are the top stacking option outside of Coors tonight.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Noah Syndergaard - Syndergaard looked great against the Royals, as he struck out nine batters in six innings while not allowing any runs. It looks like this will be his breakout season, and he gets a great matchup against the Marlins. Syndergaard is a -142 favorite in a game set at only 6.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues.
Wade Miley - Miley is a cheaper option that will allow you to get a few bats from the COL/SF game tonight. He struck out seven batters in six innings against the Rangers in his first start, and now he'll be throwing in a much more pitcher friendly stadium. He's the favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, but he may be best suited for GPPs.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Buster Posey - This article will be filled with Giants, and Posey is the first one. He's the best hitting catcher in the MLB, and he's only going to get better playing in Coors tonight. He gets a good matchup, and he can be used in all leagues.
First Base (1B)
Tyler White - White has been on fire to start the season, as he's averaging 13.3 fantasy points per game. He's also hitting .545 and 50% of his hits have gone for extra bases. He isn't going to come cheap, but he's consistent with loads of upside, and he gets a great matchup tonight.
Second Base (2B)
Daniel Murphy - Murphy displayed power in the postseason last year, and it looks like it isn't going away. He's hitting .471 on the season with 4 extra-base hits and 7 RBIs. He's averaging 16.0 fantasy points per game, and he can be used in al leagues with a plus matchup tonight.
Shortstop (SS)
Trevor Story - Right now, Story has to be considered every time he is playing. Through the first six games, Story is hitting .333 and 78% of his hits have been home runs. The matchup doesn't scare me away tonight, and Story is a great option if you have money to spend.
Third Base (3B)
Matt Duffy - Duffy has had somewhat of a slow start to the season, but he is recording a ton of RBIs. He's in a great position in the Giants lineup, and they will be scoring quite a bit tonight. Duffy makes a great option if you're stacking SF.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Carlos Gonzalez - CarGo has quietly been dominating this season, as he's hitting .375 with 4 extra-base hits and 5 RBIs through 6 games. He gets a good matchup against Shark tonight, and CarGo makes a great option in Coors.
Angel Pagan - Pagan has been moved to hitting last in the Giants lineup, but that hasn't slowed him down at all. He's averaging 10.4 fantasy points per game this season, and he should see plenty of at-bats in what should be a high scoring game tonight. He can be used in all leagues.
Colby Rasmus - Rasmus has been heating up recently, as he has hit three home runs in his last three games. He gets a good matchup against Medlen in Houston, and Rasmus has loads of upside. He's best suited for GPPs tonight.
