Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/10/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

We're down to just two series remaining in the divisional round, and with one matchup taking place tonight and the other tomorrow night, we've got a split-day slate. It's do-or-die time for three of the four teams, so expect to see the pitchers for the Indians, Yankees and Nationals on short leashes.

As of this writing, I don't have any Vegas lines, spreads or data for the Yankees at Indians game, but we can glean a little insight from the Nationals at Cubs this afternoon. The Cubs are currently fairly big favorites for playoffs action, sitting -148 on the moneyline for Tanner Roark versus Jake Arrieta. The run projections, which opened at 3.4 for the Nationals at 4.2 for the Cubs, are currently at 3.3 and 4.3, respectively. A little juice on the Nats under and the Cubs over, but nothing significant.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 10/10/17. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. Let's get to it, shall we?

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider

Corey Kluber - SP, vs NYY (DK - $11,800, FD - $11,000)

He's hands down the most elite pitcher on the slate, and the pricing reflects that. Like these pitchers and quarterbacks in football, we need to have a short memory in DFS as it pertains to our biases. Yes, Kluber had a bad start and there's no guarantee he bounces back, but the statistics show that his performance in Game 2 is a complete anomaly and, as such, not something he should be judged on moving forward. He had a brilliant season with a 0.87 WHIP, 0.9 HR/9 and a 11.8 K/9. For those concerned with BvP, Kluber has had a lot of success against this Yankees lineup and as strong as they may be, he is moving back home to a much more pitcher friendly location and will be on full rest thanks to the day off today. I am firing up Kluber in both formats as his strikeout upside and run limiting skill is tough to match.

Also Consider: Jake Arrieta - SP, vs WAS (DK - $7,200, FD - $8,700 - GPP only

 

DFS Infielders to Consider

Ian Happ - OF, 2B, vs WAS (DK - $3,700, FD - $3,100)

There's a lot to like about Mr. Happ in this contest. He's listed at an extremely affordable price across all sites and he enters this game on a streak of crushing his price implied value five games in a row. He has multi-position eligibility on DK, has excellent lineup order value, and should see a few opportunities to push runs across the board. He had a stellar season and his splits against right-handed pitching are elite - .376 wOBA, .303 ISO. He's a strong play in any format.

Francisco Lindor - SS, vs NYY (DK - $4,600, FD - $4,200)

It's no secret that Lindor is talented from both sides of the plate, but you can really chase the power upside when he's hitting against a southpaw, as is the case tomorrow in his matchup with Sabathia. This season, facing a lefty from the right side of the dish, he posted a strong wOBA (.360) and a really good position ISO just over .200.

Also Consider: Trea Turner - SS, at CHC (DK - $4,500, FD - $3,600)

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider

Kyle Schwarber - OF, vs WAS (DK - $3,700, FD - $3,100)

To put it lightly, Kyle had a rough outing in the field on Monday and when it came time for redemption, Washington brought in a lefty and Kyle's day was done. Luckily, redemption attempts carry over from the night before, and Schwarber has what is perhaps the best matchup anyone could ask for in the playoffs. Roark is a very hitt-able right-hander and Schwarber is sporting these season-long splits against right-handed pitching - .350 wOBA and a .218 ISO.

Aaron Judge - OF, at CLE (DK - $4,000, FD - $4,000)

Yes, I am suggesting Kluber in all formats but on a two game slate, you can't afford to leave the hottest hitter and biggest double home run threat off your roster - even if you roll with Kluber. Judge not only hits right-handed pitching very well (.437 wOBA, .360 ISO) but he's been on a hard hit tear according to Statcast - 50% hard hit rate and a 40% fly ball rate in his last 15 games played.
