FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (6/13/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

As is customary on Sundays, we have a very large slate to dissect with lots of batting and pitching options for us to consider. We have some good pitching options on this slate so we will need to figure out which one can get us a few strikeouts and a win while also choosing between some great offenses like Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, and Toronto to choose from. 

I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 6/13/2021. 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.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Cash Game/GPP Anchor Play:

Shane Bieber - CLE vs. SEA ($12,000)

Bieber carries the highest floor and ceiling on this slate and the matchup against the Mariners certainly plays a factor in this as well. As a team, the Mariners are hitting.206 against right-handed pitchers this year and they are hitting .216 against righties over their last 14 days. Bieber has been very good this season as he is 7-3 with a 2.96 ERA and is in really good form as he has accrued 24 strikeouts over his last three starts and faces a Mariners team that has six batters that carry a strikeout rate above 21%.

Alternate Play(s)

Carlos Rodon - CHW @ DET ($10,500)   

If you're not wanting to pay the full price for Bieber, you could always come down some and consider rostering Carlo Rodon for $1,500 cheaper. Rodon is having a very good season so far as he is 5-2 with a 1.96 ERA and has been very impressive when it comes to striking out batters. Over his last four starts, Rodon has struck out 39 total batters and he gets a very juicy matchup against a Tigers lineup that has eight batters that carry a strikeout rate above 21%.

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Brandon Belt - 1B, SFG @ WSH ($2,500)

If you're looking for a tournament bat that is cheap but could provide some home run upside, Brandon Belt should be one to consider. He is just $2,500 and is sporting a .297 ISO and a .466 XwOBA against right-handed pitchers this season. While he has a higher batting average when batting at home, Belt has over 30 more career home runs when on the road so that is another thing to consider when rostering Belt as this game is being played in Washington.

Marcus Semien - 2B/SS, TOR @ BOS ($3,300)

Semien is always one to consider and with his pricing right in the low 3k range, he makes for a great target in all formats. Semien has been in pretty good form as he has recorded a hit in five straight games and profiles well against Martin Perez. Perez throws several pitches to right-handed batters with his cutter being thrown over 30% of the time and Semien sports a .250 ISO against this specific pitch type.

Ke'Bryan Hayes – 3B, PIT @ MIL ($3,000)

Hayes has been very good for this Pirates offense and has recorded a hit in every game but one this season. He is batting .316 on the season and has a .283 ISO which is the highest ISO against right-handed pitching on the entire team. For his price tag of just $3,000 Hayes fits in all formats and even makes for a good one-off.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - SS, SDP @ NYM ($4,700)

Tatis will get to face off against a familiar face in Joey Luchessi and it's hard to not gravitate towards a spot like this. While Tatis hasn't done well against lefties this year, he does sport the highest ISO (.250) on the Padres against lefty pitchers. Luchessi has been roughed up by right-handed batters this season as all three home runs that he has allowed has been from the right side of the plate and righties have a .204 ISO against him this year.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Jesse Winker - OF, CIN vs. COL ($4,500)

Winker has been crushing it this season and has been very dominant when it comes to facing off against right-handed pitchers. He has 16 home runs on the season and is batting .367 this season against that handedness. Senzatela throws three pitchers to lefty batters (fastball, changeup, slider), and Winker profiles well as he carries a .228+ ISO and a .391 XwOBA against those pitch types.

Adam Duvall - OF, MIA vs. ATL ($2,900)

Anytime we see Duval against a lefty, it certainly catches our eyes and at least makes us consider him. Duvall has three home runs against leftie this year and has an ISO of .268 against that handedness. Drew Smyly throws two primary pitches to righties (fastball, knuckle-curve) and Duvall has a .250+ ISO and an XwOBA of .567 against both pitch types.

Tyler Naquin – OF, CIN vs. COL ($2,700 FD)

If the pricing on Winker is too much for your lineup, you could always pivot on down to Tyler Naquin. Naquin is coming off of a three-hit performance on Saturday afternoon and could be in another good spot on this slate. Antonio Senzatela is the opposing pitcher and he has struggled on the road as batters are hitting .355 off of him and have four total home runs which is double the amount he has allowed at home.
