FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/7/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone has the day off and able to grind away a little longer on some DFS baseball. Today's slate is a smaller six-game affair with a top-heavy pitcher pool. Spot the potential values and fill the lineups with a winning squad!

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//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

Zac Gallen - ARI @ SFG ($10,600)

Zac Gallen's game is on another level this year. He has notched seven straight games with a quality start, and two of them are against the San Francisco Giants. Through 50.0 innings pitched on the season, he sports a 1.80 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 54 strikeouts. He draws the Giants, who have been a slightly above-average offense this year. They have been right-hand pitching very well as of late, but Gallen has held them to one earned run in both times they faced each other. Need a safe play that will produce big points? Gallen is the answer.

Kevin Gausman - SFG vs. ARI ($7,700)

Gausman is a great play for this type of slate. He is so much less expensive than the big-ticket arms and will allow you to load up on any bat you want. Gausman has been excellent this year for DFS purposes. He continues to strike batters out at a high rate while walking very few. He gets a great matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are a sputtering offense. While they don't strike out a ton(20.3%), they also don't hit very well, as shown by their 84 wRC+ and .698 OPS. Gausman feels like the right option to play.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Matt Olson - 1B, OAK vs. HOU ($3,400)

Steer away from looking at Matt Olson's batting average; it's not as crucial in DFS. Feast your eyes on the ten home runs and 46 runs+RBI. Seven of his ten bombs have come by way of right-handed pitching, and he sees the ball well as of late. In his previous two games, Olson has five hits and four RBI. His Statcast slider tells the who tale, crushes the ball when he makes contact.

Jake Cronenworth - 2B, SDP vs, COL ($3,300)

Cronenworth is the start of the Padres stack for today. He continues to bat atop of the very potent Padres lineup and get on back. He has a .336/.389/.580 slash line with a .969 OPS on the season. The matchup today is against southpaw Kyle Freeland, who is struggling as of late. Freeland is leaving too many balls over the plate, and batters have 19 hits in his last 6.1 innings pitched. They don't call him RAKE Cronenworth for nothin'!

Manny Machado - 3B, SDP vs. COL ($4,000)

Next up in the Padres stack is Manny Machado. Manny loves to face off against left-handed pitching. He has a .362/.400/.638 slash line and a 1.038 OPS when squaring off against a southpaw. He is making tremendous hard-hit contact this year. His xwOBA puts him in the 90th percentiles of all batters, and a 95th percentiles in xBA is not too shabby. Keep stacking Padres.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - SS, SDP vs. COL ($4,600)

Tatis Jr completes the infield stack of the Padres. A big salary has to be spent to roster Tatis Jr, but as his numbers and Statcast slider show, he is worth it. He is only a month away from collecting his MVP trophy, and it is very deserved. He 82 runs+RBI to go with 15 home runs and seven stolen bases. It doesn't get any more safe of a stud player to put into your lineup.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - OF, TOR vs. NYY ($3,000)

Gurriel is fresh off a four-hit game against the Boston Red Sox. He has been red hot as of late. In the last two weeks, Gurriel is slashing .340/.426/.767 with a 1.043 OPS. The sudden injury to Teoscar Hernandez opens up plenty of at-bats higher in the batting order for Gurriel to flourish. Sahlem Field is the new home of the Blue Jays and performs similar to Coors Field in regards to power hit to left field. Play him for significant savings!

Randal Grichuk - OF, TOR vs. NYY ($3,300)

It looks like Grichuk has finally figured it out at the plate. The strikeouts are way down, and the walks are up. In turn, he is making more quality contact, and the wOBA has soared. Grichuk is slashing .280/.230/.524 with a .845 OPS. Jordan Montgomery is the opposition to Grichuk today. He has already put four home runs out of the park against southpaws in only 46 at-bats. Much like Gurriel, right-handed pull power hitters are thriving in Sahlem Field, and Grichuk is just that.

Michael Brantley - OF, HOU @ OAK ($3,300)

Brantley is an excellent play. He is a high contact hitter that has some pop in his game. He faces off against struggling Oakland pitcher Frankie Montas. Brantley is giving right-handed pitchers like Montas trouble with his .316/.395/.500 slash line. He has been hot as of late; in the last week, Brantley has a pair of home runs and ten RBI in his previous 26 at-bats. Another reliable outfield option at a reasonable salary.
