FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/13/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

ian anderson fantasy baseball rankings pitchers draft sleepers MLB injury news

For those who have not been scared off by FanDuel’s live scoring bungle, the two-game Championship Series extravaganza returns Tuesday. Not surprisingly, Monday featured a bushel of key home runs, and the nature of FD’s scoring means that isolating those bats moving forward will be paramount.

Whether you’re aiming for roster variance or a last-minute addition, we’ve got you covered for the latest two-game pocket -- in which there’s even fans in attendance in Arlington!

I'll provide you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 10/13/2020. Be sure to check out all the MLB player news, including late scratches, and the projected and confirmed daily MLB lineups for each DFS slate. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like DraftKings, and other sports. Feel free to follow me on Twitter, @davithius.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Ian Anderson - ATL vs. LOS ($9,400)

Facing off against the Dodgers’ vaunted offense may give some fantasy managers reason for pause, but Anderson has simply made allowing runs anathema. He has compiled 17 strikeouts over 11 ⅔ scoreless IP thus far in the postseason, and while the Reds and Marlins don’t quite boast the same level of thump that L.A. does, his high-strikeout production should stand out with only four starters to choose from.

Working back into the regular season, Anderson is yet to allow more than three earned runs in a start, and he’s exceeded more than two ER just once in eight starts for a sparkling average of 38.2 FD points per start. Globe Life Field has played rather large to this point in the playoffs, despite Atlanta making the yard look small during the 9th inning of Game 1. With none of the Dodgers’ batters having gotten a look at Anderson yet in their big league careers, he should have a distinct advantage while quickly developing into a future anchor of the Atlanta rotation on the season’s biggest stage.

Ryan Yarbrough - TAM vs. HOU ($7,000)

There is a tremendously high likelihood that Yarbrough will not face the Astros’ batting order three times through, which on a normal night, would severely cap his value. Alas, in this two-game slate, Yarbrough is the better of the low-priced pitching options due to Houston’s Jose Urquidy’s lack of strikeouts (5.2 K/9 this year) and propensity for the long ball (8 HR allowed in 2020). By rostering the southpaw, fantasy managers should have carte blanche to load up on the offensive end.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Travis d'Arnaud - C, ATL vs. LOS ($3,100)

The culmination of d’Arnaud’s development into a premier offensive catcher is nearing completion during the 2020 postseason. Having hammered the ball to the tune of a 1.221 OPS, d’Arnaud has become a middle-of-the-order anchor, and despite facing Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw, is a strong play at the crowded C/1B slot. d’Arnaud has notched a hit in each of his first six playoff games this year, delivering 17 total bases in that span. With Will Smith not a guarantee to start with Austin Barnes serving as Kershaw’s personal catcher, d’Arnaud’s price tag allows fantasy managers to pivot off of the high-priced Freddie Freeman/Max Muncy duo, as well.

Advertising

Ozzie Albies - 2B, ATL vs. LOS ($3,800)

Just moments after Albies’ terrific splits and production against left-handers was mentioned on the television broadcast during Game 1, he promptly unleashed a booming two-run blast from the left side of the plate. Prior to that, he even collected an opposite-field single as a left-handed batter, indicating that he’s locked in heading into Game 2. But those splits that were referenced? They should definitely be in Albies’ corner again as he squares off with Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw. During the 2019 regular season, Albies hit above .300 against every type of pitch when batting right-handed, mashing breaking pitches to the tune of a .438 mark, which will likely play a role when facing Kershaw, who has a myriad of breaking stuff in his arsenal.

Austin Riley - 3B, ATL vs. LOS ($2,600)

After slugging the go-ahead home run in Game 1 on Monday, Riley showed that the pop in his bat is difficult to ignore no matter his position in the batting order. As was mentioned earlier, home runs become even more of a slate-shifter in smaller contest windows, making his homer upside worthy of consideration when factoring in his price tag.

Carlos Correa - SS, HOU vs. TAM ($3,500)

If there was an overall postseason MVP Award handed out, Correa would have to be its leading candidate. Having gone 11-for-26 with five home runs and 13 RBI while slashing .423/.559/1.000 in his first seven playoff appearances this year, Correa is producing at an elite level. With the shortstop spot uncharacteristically thin Tuesday, paying up is likely unavoidable (unless pivoting to Willy Adames), and Correa likely provides the best bang for the buck due to his current stretch of production.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

George Springer - OF, LAD vs. ATL ($4,200)

The stylings of “Playoff George” have been evident yet again in 2020, having collected a hit in five of his first seven postseason games. Having mashed to the tune of a .995 OPS during the regular season away from Minute Maid Park, the persistent road nature shouldn’t be an impediment to Springer delivering; he’ll hold down the leadoff spot yet again, an additional notch in his belt.

Austin Meadows - OF, TAM vs. HOU ($3,300)

Much in the same ilk as Riley, Meadows’ power has the potential to shift the leaderboard in a hurry. Both of his hits this postseason have left the yard, and with a spot atop Tampa Bay’s batting order likely his, Meadows presents one of the highest upsides of any outfielder on the slate. Urquidy yielded four home runs the last time that he took the mound in Game 3 of the ALDS, giving him eight long balls to his credit across 38 1/3 IP this season.

Cristian Pache - OF, ATL vs. LOS ($2,000)

Advertising

With Adam Duvall (oblique) having departed Game 1 due to injury, Pache stepped in, showing that he’s the next man up in the outfield. At the minimum FD price tag for Game 2, Pache is a pure punt play, albeit one that has top prospect (No. 10 in the Majors, per MLB Pipeline) and extra-base hit (57 XBH in 2019) chops. For those fantasy managers looking to pack as much thump into a lineup as possible, Pache is worthy of consideration so long as he is among the starting nine.
