FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/11/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

alex bregman fantasy baseball rankings draft sleepers MLB injury news

Sunday delivers us the opening game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Houston Astros. Therefore, we will be pivoting with this article and looking at some showdown game style options. Those unfamiliar with the showdown game mode select a roster of five players, with those players being your "MVP" and "STAR". The "MVP" that scores 2.0x the fantasy points and "STAR" that scores 1.5x fantasy points. There is no additional salary cost with FanDuel.

Today's matchup showcases a pair of elite-level southpaws with high strikeout abilities. The over/under on this game sits at 8.5, so there will be some offense, but I wouldn't expect huge point totals. Batter splits will be crucial for success.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/11/20. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. Be sure also to check out all the Vegas Odds for today's slate. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @davithius.

 

FanDuel DFS MVP Selections

Alex Bregman, HOU @ TB (FD $9000)

After a horrendous regular season by his standards, Bregman turned in up a notch in the ALDS. He collected two hits in three of four games while scoring five runs. Bregman gets the nod as the MVP because he can homer off a pitcher, regardless of handedness. He sports a .282 ISO with a .408 wOBA vs. LHP and a .221 ISO with a .367 wOBA vs. RHP. If Bregman goes off at the plate, you'll be taking home a nice payday by using him as the 2.0x MVP selection.

 

FanDuel DFS STAR Selections

Michael Brantley, HOU @ TB (FD $7000)

Brantley is selected as the STAR because of his tremendous plate discipline skills and should provide a safe floor with a fair ceiling. He is perennially a top-10 hitter in terms of contact% and z-contact%, so it means he makes a lot of contact in the zone-where good things usually happen. Brantley was on-fire vs. Oakland by going 8-19 with a pair of home runs in the series's final game. There is a solid chance he puts up another double-digit point total that will be increased by the 1.5x STAR multiplier.

 

FanDuel DFS Utility Selections

Randy Arozarena, TAM vs. HOU (FD $7000)

Arozarena is a must-play on the slate, mainly due to how incredible his production has been at the plate. He scorched eight hits in the ALDS with three home runs. Randy will most likely get the nod in the heart of the Rays lineup, and the potential is there for a big day. He would have been selected as the MVP or STAR, but I prefer to put the hitters facing Snell-as he gave up three HRs in his previous start.

Yuli Gurriel, HOU @ TAM  (FD $6000)

Guriel is a bit of a matchup play here as he squares off against southpaw Blake Snell. In a small sample, Guriel went off on left-handed pitching this season with four home runs in 66 plate appearances. Over the course of his career, Guriel has excelled against lefties with a .194 ISO and .366 wOBA. Much like his teammates, Bregman and Brantley, he often puts the ball in play, which leads to good things for his matchup.

Mike Brousseau, TAM vs. HOU (FD $5500)

The DFS cheat code against left-handed pitching has been Mike Brosseau this season. Not only did he catapult the Rays into the ALCS with a dinger against Aroldis Chapman, but all of the southpaws should fear Brosseau at the dish. He put up a robust .405 ISO and slugged .738 vs. LHP while being 98% better than the MLB-average in terms of wRC+. He is not an MVP or STAR because, against RHP, he isn't as effective and would be removed from the game.
