After the Houston Astros ended the Cleveland Indians playoff hopes early, we only have one game tonight. The Boston Red Sox take on the New York Yankees once again after beating them by 15 last night.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 10/9/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me up on Twitter @BalesSJustin.
FanDuel DFS Pitcher
N/A
FanDuel DFS Infielders
Luke Voit - 1B, vs BOS ($7,500)
Voit has been playing at an elite level for the majority of the season, but he's hitting .395 with a .763 slugging percentage and a 1.240 OPS over his last 10 games. He owns seven extra-base hits (three home runs) and 12 RBIs in those games. He's been a better hitter on the road this season, but he has dominated the Boston Red Sox in nine games. He's an elite option for a reasonable price tag.
Christian Vazquez - C, at NYY ($4,000)
I don't love the infielders in this game, so I'm opting for a salary relief option here. Vazquez is a cheap option in a game that should feature plenty of runs. Boston flashed their team potential last night, and Vazquez scored 12.7 fantasy points in that game. He's the type of player that will allow you to roster the more expensive bats that come with more upside.
FanDuel DFS Outfielders
Aaron Judge - OF, vs BOS ($9,500)
Judge is another New York player that has looked outstanding recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting .378 with a .757 slugging percentage and a 1.201 OPS. He has recorded six extra-base hits (four home runs) and nine RBIs in those games, as well. He's the most expensive player on the slate, and for good reason, as he's hitting for a .355/.709/1.182 line at home this season.
Mookie Betts - OF, at NYY ($9,000)
Betts is another expensive option that makes sense tonight. He's averaging 20.6 fantasy points per game over his last 10 games, while hitting .436 with an .821 slugging percentage and a 1.332 OPS over that span. He has also posted nine extra-base hits (three home runs), 10 RBIs, and two steals in those games. He makes an elite option tonight.
Jackie Bradley Jr. - OF, at NYY ($4,500)
I'm a bit worried about the lefty-lefty matchup for Bradley, as he'll face off against CC Sabathia tonight. Still, Bradley has been a consistent option, who also comes with upside recently. He's averaging 8.6 fantasy points per game over his last 10 games, scoring fantasy points in each of his last nine contests. He's extremely cheap, and makes a great "stars and scrubs" option tonight.
