There have been a few surprises early in the season, such as the White Sox leading the AL Central. What do you think is the most surprising part of the season? Tweet it to me (@BalesSJustin).
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 4/30/16. 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
Arizona Diamondbacks - Another day, another Diamondbacks stack. They have an extremely powerful offense, and they get another great matchup tonight. They are also playing in one of the most hitter friendly stadiums in the MLB, and they can be used in all leagues.
New York Mets - The Mets offense has been on fire recently, and they could be the hottest team in the MLB. They are hitting an absurd amount of home runs, and they get a great matchup against Peavy tonight. They were low owned last night, and could be again today. They can be used in all leagues.
Cincinnati Reds - The Reds are certainly a risky stack, but they have great upside and they will certainly be contrarian. They get a terrible matchup against Liriano, but he has struggled after his first game of the season. The Reds have good speed and power throughout the lineup, but they are GPP only options.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Jacob deGrom - deGrom is only going to get better as he works his way back into the rotation. He gets a tough matchup against the Giants, but they have been slumping a bit recently. deGrom is a big favorite, and he makes a great option in all leagues.
Zack Greinke - Greinke has looked awful this season, but this is too cheap for him. He has struggled at home, and he gets a tough matchup against the Rockies, but Greinke's price tag is too good to pass up. He has elite upside, and he can be used in GPPs.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Welington Castillo - Castillo has been playing as well as any catcher in the MLB this season. He's hitting for a high average and he has displayed great power. He also crushes left-handed pitching, and he gets a great matchup against Rusin. He can be used in all leagues.
First Base (1B)
Freddie Freeman - Freeman has really been heating up recently after a slow start to the season. He's beginning to hit with more power, which is great for his value. He's also hitting for a great average over his last eight games, and he's a great GPP option today.
Second Base (2B)
Neil Walker - Walker will continue to make an elite option until DraftKings raises his price. He's hitting for a high average with great power on the season. He gets a great matchup against Matt Cain, and Walker can be used in all leagues tonight.
Shortstop (SS)
Jonathan Villar - Villar is far from a safe option, but he has tremendous upside for his price tag. He gets a good matchup against Chen, who has really struggled this season, and Villar has a good combination of power and speed. He can be used in tournaments.
Third Base (3B)
Brandon Drury - Drury was a top prospect in the minors, and he has now won an every day job for the Diamondbacks. He has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .300 with nearly 10 extra-base hits over his last 10 games. The Diamondbacks are a great stack tonight, and Drury can be used in all leagues.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Yoenis Cespedes - Cespedes has been out of this world recently, as he's on a home run tear and he has been scoring RBIs at an elite level. He gets a great matchup against Cain tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.
Mark Trumbo - Trumbo has displayed great power this season, which gives him tremendous upside. He gets a tough matchup against Latos, who has looked great this season, but I don't believe he will be able to sustain his current numbers. Trumbo is a good GPP option.
Jon Jay - After struggling for quite some time, Jon Jay has heated up. He's leading off for the Padres, and he has elite speed. He doesn't have much power, which hurts his upside, but he's a good cash game play tonight.
