After a Labor Day that was split up into two two slates, we have a massive Tuesday slate. There are 15 games, giving us plenty of options to choose from. It makes lineup construction a bit easier, as we have multiple different techniques we can utilize.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 9/4/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me up on Twitter @BalesSJustin.
