There's a large slate of MLB games tonight, which means we will have plenty of games to choose from.
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 4/19/16. 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
Texas Rangers - The Rangers get a great matchup against Scott Feldman, who is far from a great option in a starting rotation. Texas has a great offense, and they are -123 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs. Both of these teams should score plenty of runs, but I prefer the Rangers slightly more than the Astros.
New York Yankees - The Yankees are always a good option when they are playing at home, especially when they get an easy matchup. Eric Surkamp will take the mound for the A's, and the Yankees are -180 favorites in a game set at 8 runs. They could hit a few home runs, and they have loads of upside.
Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays are striking out at an alarming rate, but that can generally be expected from teams with loads of power. They get a great matchup against Mike Wright, who struggled in his first game. The Blue Jays are another high upside option tonight.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Francisco Liriano - Liriano looked great in his first game this season, but struggled in his second game. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Padres, who have struggled this season and Liraino has elite upside. He's a -139 favorite in a game set at 7 runs, but he's best suited for GPPs.
Logan Verrett - Everyone will likely be on Velasquez tonight because of how well he's throwing, but Verrett could be the pitcher to own in this game. He's a -115 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs. He has decent upside, and he can be used in all leagues for his low price tag.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Jarrod Saltalamacchia - Salty has displayed tremendous upside early in the season, as he's hitting .269 with 4 home runs and 11 RBIs in only 7 games. He doesn't get a great matchup, as he faces off against Ventura, but he's a great GPP option.
First Base (1B)
Chris Davis - Davis, and the rest of the Baltimore offense, has been on fire this season. He's only hitting .225, but he has a .380 OBP with 5 home runs and 10 RBIs. Davis has tremendous upside, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Second Base (2B)
Jose Altuve - The right-handed bats of the Astros make great plays tonight, as they get a great matchup against Holland tonight. Altuve has dominated this season, flashing both great power and speed. He has four home runs to go along with five steals, and he can be used in all leagues.
Shortstop (SS)
Xander Bogaerts - Bogaerts seems to fly under the radar for the BoSox, but he has great upside. He gets a tough matchup against Drew Smyly, who has looked good this season, but Bogaerts has dominated lefties in his career. He's hitting in the heart of a tremendous lineup, and he's a great option in all leagues.
Third Base (3B)
Ronald Torreyes - Torreyes doesn't always start, but he should draw the start against the lefty tonight. He's hitting late in the Yankees lineup, but he has great upside, and his price tag is still low. If he's starting, he's a great option.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Carlos Gonzalez - CarGo has been on fire to start this season, as he's hitting .367 with 8 extra-base hits and 10 RBIs. He gets a great matchup against Simon in a hitter friendly ballpark, and he can be used in all leagues.
J.D. Martinez - Martinez has dominated this season, but his price tag continues to decrease. It doesn't make much sense, as he has displayed both consistency and upside, and he can be used in all leagues, even with a tougher matchup.
Nomar Mazara - Mazara is playing because of injuries, but he has dominated during that span. He has a .444 batting average on the season, and he's hitting high in the Rangers lineup. His price tag is still low, and he can be used in all leagues.
