DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/22/16): MLB DFS Advice

Get ready for the upcoming 10-game slate tonight on DraftKings. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/22/16.

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. Let's get to it!

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through the playoffs. Premium DFS research, lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more. You can see screenshots of our NFL Premium and MLB Premium and DFS tools. What are you waiting for?

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for DraftKings

Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers get a great matchup tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Ryan Vogelsong. Vogelsong's career really dropped off this season, and he likely will not be winning another World Series any time soon. The Brewers should score frequently tonight.

Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians are one of the best hitting teams in the league, and Jason Vargas is not going to be able to stop them from scoring. The price tags of most of their hitters are a little high, but with valuable pitching options like Seth Lugo, it is possible to stack them.

Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox get a great matchup tonight against the Baltimore Orioles in Baltimore. Chris Tillman will take the mound, and while he has been decent this season, the Red Sox take advantage of even the best pitchers in the league. Stack them in 50/50 contests.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for DraftKings

Justin Verlander ($12,400)

Justin Verlander is a little bit expensive, but he gets a great matchup tonight against the Minnesota Twins, who are a strikeout-prone offense. Verlander is having a season to remember after struggling last year, so he is trustworthy in all leagues.

Seth Lugo ($6,700)

Seth Lugo has been great for the New York Mets, since being called up to the majors earlier in the season. He has an ERA under three, and tonight, he will face off against the terrible Philadelphia Phillies' offense. He can be used in all formats, but tournaments suit him best.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for DraftKings

Catcher (C) - Gary Sanchez ($4,900)

Gary Sanchez is starting to heat up again for the New York Yankees. He has five home runs and 11 RBIs in his last 10 games, so while his price tag is a little bit high, he is well worth it.

First Base (1B) - Tommy Joseph ($4,500)

Tommy Joseph has been on fire of recent. He is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games, and while Seth Lugo has been solid all season long, Joseph is hitting too well to pass on him right now. His price tag is a little high for 50/50 contests, but tournaments are a definite.

Second Base (2B) - Sean Rodriguez ($4,100)

Sean Rodriguez is hitting right around .400 in his last 10 games, and he gets a great matchup tonight against Anderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee is a solid, hitter-friendly ballpark, so Rodriguez should at least hit value.

Shortstop (SS) - Dansby Swanson ($3,300)

Dansby Swanson is hitting .333 over his last 10 games, and tonight, he should be able to continue to hit well against the Miami Marlins. His price tag is low, so using him as a salary relief option in both 50/50 contests and tournaments is a smart move.

Third Base (3B) - Jose Ramirez ($4,400)

Jose Ramirez is going to see multiple RBI opportunities against the Kansas City Royals and Jason Vargas tonight. He is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games, and his price tag is a little bit high, but so is his upside.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for DraftKings

Ender Inciarte ($4,700)

Ender Inciarte is having a career year. He is hitting over .295 on the season and in his last 10 games. In fact, in his last 10 games, he is hitting over .350 with a stolen base and three walks. His price tag is a little bit high, but he is a lock for at least five fantasy points.

Josh Bell ($3,200)

Josh Bell, like Sean Rodriguez, is hitting the ball extremely well and a large part of the Pittsburgh Pirates' offense. He is hitting .333 in his last 10 games, and on the season, he has a .312 batting average, two home runs, and 17 RBIs. His price tag is low, so use him in all formats.
