Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/15/17): MLB Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

We have another huge Friday slate. This has been the case for the majority of the season. There are plenty of high priced options that can be used with elite salary relief plays. There are also mid-priced options that can be used instead of using a "stars and scrubs" lineup.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 9/15/17. 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?

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @BalesSJustin.
