DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider

Jose Berrios - vs DET (DK - $9,700, FD - $8,100)

In the last 30 days, Berrios has thrown 33 innings with 34 strikeouts and a 3.55 ERA. He looks to stay hot entering the playoffs in his last start of the regular season against Detroit. The Tigers lineup is incredibly weak against right-handed pitching, with just a .313 wOBA, ranking them 24th in all of baseball.

Luke Weaver - vs MIL (DK - $9,900, FD - $9,000)

Weaver is a fantastic option in GPP formats for his huge upside on Saturday. In his 55 2/3 innings this season, Weaver's got a 30.2% K-rate and a 5.8% walk-rate, leading to a stellar 2.87 FIP. The Brewers, his opposition, strike out more than any other team in the league against righties, at 25.6%. That puts Weaver in line for a huge day.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider

Austin Barnes - C, at COL (DK - $4,000, FD - $3,400)

Barnes has been one of the best under-the-radar catching options this season, as he's been mashing the ball to the tune of a 145 wRC+. His play has earned him regular playing time in the Dodgers lineup, and he will be in baseball's best offensive environment in Colorado.

Lucas Duda - 1B, vs BAL (DK - $3,800, FD - $2,800)

For a guy who's hit 30 homers in 483 plate appearances this year, Lucas Duda is incredibly cheap. With the Orioles turning to a bullpen game on Saturday, Duda can hopefully get a few at-bats against some September call-ups, as he some damage against them.

Dee Gordon - 2B, at ATL (DK - $4,200, FD - $3,500)

Gordon has been on fire in the last month, batting .353 with 11 steals atop the Marlins lineup. He faces off against Lucas Sims, who has a 4.85 ERA, so Gordon will likely have an opportunity for multiple runs.

Joey Gallo - 3B, vs OAK (DK - $3,800, FD - $2,800)

Gallo is a cheap GPP option to consider, as he's got an enticing matchup against Daniel Gossett. Gossett has a 5.82 ERA and an absurd 2.01 HR/9, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if Gallo homers off of him.

Marcus Semien - SS, at TEX (DK - $3,900, FD - $4,000)

Semien is another hitter who can take advantage of the excellent hitter's environment in Texas. He is a savvy contrarian play against Andrew Cashner, whose 5.29 xFIP suggests that he's due for a ton of regression from his 3.42 ERA.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider

Jay Bruce - OF, at KC (DK - $3,900, FD - $3,200)

Bruce is a bat to look for in cash formats, as the slugger has a very high floor. His 116 wRC+ this year, alongside his 35 home runs, make him more than worth his price. In the middle of the Indians lineup, Bruce can give you both runs and RBI.

Lorenzo Cain - OF, vs SD (DK - $3,800, FD - $3,500)

LoCain can give you fantasy points in a multitude of ways, through steals, homers, runs, and more. In the last month, he's batting .344 with an .888 OPS, and comes in at low prices on both DraftKings and FanDuel.
