Tom Vecchio's top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 10/8/17. Expert MLB DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We're finally in the MLB Playoffs, which means we have small slates that we can take advantage of. It will be difficult to make unique lineups, but hopefully this article can help accomplish that.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 10/8/17. 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

Masahiro Tanaka - P, NYY vs CLE (DK - $8,100, FD - $9,900)

If you are going to take a stand on a player for a GPP, look at Tanaka today. He ended the season guns blazing in his last start, as he struck out 15 batters in seven innings vs the Blue Jays. He is on extended rest due to the off days, so he is super fresh, and this is when the Yanks need him the most. Cleveland only has a 19% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitchers, which is super low, so don't expect 15 strikeouts, but six or seven isn't out of the question.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider

Mitch Moreland - 1B, BOS vs HOU (DK - $3,300, FD - $2,900)

This is it. The Sox are up against the wall, and they NEED a win at home. With so few options on the board, you need to find any bit of savings where you can so let's look at Moreland. He has a .329 wOBA and a .214 ISO this season vs right-handed pitchers. He is at home in a great hitters park, and its time for Mitchy Two Bags to produce after going one for five in the first two games of this series.

Didi Gregorius - SS, NYY vs CLE (DK - $3,700, FD - $2,700)

Anytime Didi is facing a right-handed pitcher I like to roster him, as he has a .354 wOBA and a .228 ISO against them. With his decreased price, and the limited options, you will be able to get any hitter you want into your lineup. Great for a stack, or as a one off, since he showed his power upside in the Wild Card game last week.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider

Andrew Benintendi - OF, BOS vs HOU (DK - $3,800, FD - $3,000)

Benintendi has a .344 wOBA and a .356 OBP vs right-handed pitchers this season, and is up against Brad Peacock, who is giving up 1.33 HR/9 this season to left-handed hitters. This is a big stage for the young player, but now is the time for him to make his mark. Stack up the Sox players, and try to grab more lefty hitters.

George Springer - OF, HOU @ BOS (DK - $4,800, FD - $3,800)

Springer had a home run in his previous game, and now at a great hitters park, that Green Monster looks very juicy. He has a 131 wRC+ and a .236 ISO this season vs right-handed pitchers. Always batting high in the order, so plenty of at-bats, and looking to send his team to the next round.
