DraftKings Lineup Picks & Sleepers (4/11/17): MLB DFS Advice

We get a large slate tonight, but there are no true elite pitchers. With that being said, we have plenty of great stacking options, especially with a game being played at Coors Field tonight. 

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/11/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

You can read our FanDuel and Yahoo DFS lineup picks as well. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @BalesSJustin.

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Colorado Rockies vs Jered Weaver

The Rockies are always an elite option at home. Tonight, they get a matchup against Weaver, who is a slow throwing pitcher that often misses his spots. The Rockies have a projected team total of 6.6 runs, which is more than a full run higher than the next option.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Wily Peralta 

The Blue Jays are a team that always seems to hit better at home, which isn't surprising, as they play in a dome. They get an elite matchup against Peralta, who struggles to strike batters out. The Blue Jays have a projected team total of 5.3 runs, and they are a high upside tournament stack tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Matt Harvey vs Philadelphia Phillies

Harvey looked great in his first start. He consistently got hitters into two strike counts, but he struggled with strikeouts. He gets a great matchup against the Phillies tonight, and he's a -135 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. Harvey is one of the best option on the slate tonight.

Dan Straily vs Atlanta Braves

Straily is coming off a good season with the Reds, but he was rocked in his first start with the Marlins. That was a tough matchup against the Nationals, though, and he gets a much better matchup against the Braves in a pitcher friendly stadium. Straily is a high upside tournament option for his current price tag.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Nick Hundley - vs ARI ($2,800)

Buster Posey was hit in the head with a pitch last night, which means Hundley could draw the start tonight. If that is the case, he makes a high upside option for a low price tag. He gets a great matchup against Robbie Ray, and Hundley can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Wil Myers - at COL ($5,200)

Myers has been an elite hitter in Colorado throughout his career, which isn't a surprise, as it is a stadium that shows off power. He gets a good matchup tonight, and the Padres should have no problems scoring runs. Myers is a huge part of their offense, and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Devon Travis - vs MIL ($3,800)

Travis has really struggled early this season, but he'll be playing in Toronto tonight. He's leading off for a dominant offense, and the Blue Jays should be able to find plenty of success against Wily Peralta. Travis is still fairly cheap, and he's a great option in all leagues tonight.

Shortstop (SS)

Stephen Drew - vs STL ($2,800)

Drew is another cheap player that has struggled to find hit footing this season. He has an elite .242 ISO and .211 wOBA differential against right-handed pitching, though. He gets a solid matchup against Lance Lynn, and Drew can be used in all leagues as a salary relief option.

Third Base (3B)

Mark Reynolds - vs SD ($5,000)

Reynolds is third base eligible, which only adds value to him as a player. He has gotten off to an extremely hot start, as he is hitting for a high average to go along with great power. He gets an elite matchup against Weaver tonight, and Reynolds can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Manuel Margot - at COL ($4,600)

Margot has gotten out to a quick start, as he has displayed a good combination of speed and power. He will be playing in Colorado tonight, and Margot is hitting near the top of the Padres batting order. He's an elite option in all leagues tonight.

Michael Conforto - at PHI ($3,600)

Conforto hasn't been starting for the most part this season, but he has looked good in limited at-bats. He gets a great matchup against Buchholz tonight, and Conforto has an elite .218 ISO and .224 wOBA differential. If he's starting, he's an elite option in all leagues.
