DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/20/16): MLB DFS Advice

It's tough to pick who will win Cy Young this early in the season, but it looks like Jake Arrieta and Clayton Kershaw are pulling away from the rest of the pitchers in the NL. We get one of those pitchers tonight, and as always, he's an elite option.

Well, let's get down to it!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/20/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings.

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

 

Cleveland Indians - The Indians have looked great recently and they get an elite matchup against Clay Buchholz. Buchholz has struggled this season, and the Indians will be playing in hitter friendly Fenway Park tonight. They are a great option in all leagues tonight.

Chicago Cubs - The Cubs have one of the best offenses in the MLB and they get a great matchup against Peavy tonight, who has an ERA over 7.00 on the season. The Cubs should have no problems scoring tonight, and they may go a bit under-owned, as their Vegas line is low because Arrieta is on the mound.

New York Mets - The Mets offense has been cold recently, but they get a great matchup tonight. They'll face off against Wily Peralta, who has allowed a high amount of home runs on the season, and that is how the Mets score quite a few of their runs. They are a GPP only option, but a high upside one in a great matchup.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Jake Arrieta - If Arrieta is on the slate, he needs to be considered. The matchup against the Giants isn't ideal, but he's a matchup proof pitcher and he's a -200 favorite in a game set at only 6.5 runs. Arrieta has elite upside, as well, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Steven Matz - Matz has looked great since his first game of the season. He has won each of his last five games and he has been an extremely consistent pitcher with great upside. He's a -200 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, and Matz can be used in all leagues for his price tag.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Wilson Ramos - Ramos is enjoying a great season, as he's hitting over .300 with decent power. He gets a great matchup against Nicolino, and Ramos has been a better hitter against left-handed pitching in his career. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

First Base (1B)

Anthony Rizzo - Rizzo hasn't been playing well recently, but the matchup against Peavy should make up for that. He has elite upside, and his price has dropped a bit because of his recently struggles. The Cubs should be able to put runs on the board tonight, and Rizzo can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Jason Kipnis - This was a tough pick between Kipnis and Robinson Cano, but Kipnis is a bit cheaper. He has played well recently, and he has double digit fantasy points in over half of his last 10 games. Kipnis gets a great matchup against Buchholz, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Francisco Lindor - Lindor has been on fire recently, and he has also displayed tremendous upside recently. He gets a great matchup against Buchholz, who have looked awful this season, as well. Lindor can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Danny Valencia - Valencia has been tremendous this season. He gets a great matchup against Sabathia, and Valencia has looked great against lefties in his career. He has elite displayed great power, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

 

Adam Eaton - Eaton comes with a hefty price tag, but he has been on fire recently. He's hitting consistently, but he has also been scoring double digit fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against Gee, and Eaton can be used in all leagues.

Dexter Fowler - Fowler has been struggling a bit recently, but he has been enjoying a tremendous season. He gets a great matchup against Peavy, who has looked terrible this year, and Fowler can be used in all leagues tonight.

Rafael Ortega - Ortega has been a wonderful surprise for the Angels, as he's hitting over .300 on the season. He doesn't have much power, but he does have good speed and he gets a great matchup. Ortega has been hot recently, and he can be used in all leagues.
