FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/5/20):

Get ready for another Saturday of MLB action! It's a good day to pay a premium for pitching with two aces to choose from. We'll be targeting a couple of Giants in a prime spot against a struggling former teammate.

In this article, we'll identify players who will help you win a cash game and build your bankroll or take down a GPP for a big pay-day. Every player on this list is on one of my own FanDuel teams.

  • I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 9/5/2020. Be sure to also 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 too.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Lucas Giolito - CHW @ KC ($10,400)

Giolito has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. He has walked only three compared to 34 strikeouts in his last 21 innings, a stretch where he's only allowed four runs. This is a hefty price, but he faces a weak Royals' lineup that has posted a .300 wOBA (27th) and 23.9 K% (18th) against righties.

Kenta Maeda - MIN vs. DET ($9,900)

Like Giolito, Maeda has been fantastic this season. He's walked only three while striking out 27 in his last 19 innings, a stretch where he's only allowed five runs. While Maeda doesn't usually pitch too deep into games, he should have no problem mowing down a Tigers lineup that has put up a .307 wOBA (24th) and 27.9 K% (30th) against righties.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Rhys Hoskins - 1B, PHI @ NYM ($4,000)

Hoskins has been on fire of late, going 11-for-24 (.458) with seven runs, four home runs, and nine RBi in his last six games. He goes up against RHP Seth Lugo, who is a good pitcher but he's a reliever who won't pitch more than four innings. Give me some Rhys' Pieces here.

Wilmer Flores - 2B, SF @ ARZ ($2,900)

Flores is the lefty masher, slashing .308/.349/.718 with five home runs against southpaws this season. He goes up against LHP Madison Bumgarner, who has allowed 13 runs and six homers in his last start. Flores should be a popular play and for good reason.

Evan Longoria - 3B, SF @ ARZ ($2,900)

Prior to his 0-for-5 Friday, Longoria was on fire, going 9-for-22 (.409) with five runs, one homer, and five RBI in his previous five games. He makes for a nice pairing with Flores against former teammate Bumgarner.

Amed Rosario - SS, NYM vs. PHI ($2,400)

Rosario has started to heat up of late, going 4-for-7 with three runs and three RBI in his last two games. He's a streaky hitter, so perhaps this is the start of a nice stretch. Rosario goes up against rookie RHP Spencer Howard, who hasn't lasted past the fifth inning in any of his four starts.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Michael Conforto - OF, NYM vs. PHI ($3,200)

Conforto continues to be criminally under-priced, despite a .326/.421/.539 slash and a red-hot stretch where he's gone 7-for-18 (.388) with two runs, two homers, and seven RBI in his last  three games. Pair Conforto with Rosario for a mini-Mets stack.

Alex Verdugo - OF, BOS vs. TOR (3,000)

Verdugo has been rock-solid all year, slashing .310/.368/.507 with five home runs and three stolen bases. Prior to Friday's 0-for-4, he had gone 14-for-35 (.400) with eight runs, one RBI, and one stolen base in his previous eight games. He goes up against RHP Chase Anderson, who has pitched well lately, but isn't scaring anyone.

Jackie Bradley Jr. - OF, BOS vs. TOR ($2,200)

Bradley is a great cheap option to allow you to fill out your lineup with solid bats despite paying up for a premium pitcher. He's hit safely in seven straight games with two home runs and one stolen base during that span. Pair him up with Verdugo.
