DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/13/16): MLB DFS Advice

The San Francisco Giants are eliminated from the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs are on their way to breaking the curse. It has been a great postseason thus far. Let's continue to make it great for fantasy purposes!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/13/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings.

Editor's Note: If you like DraftKings, be sure to also check out FantasyAces. New users that sign up on Fantasy Aces and make a $20 deposit will receive RotoBaller's full season NFL Premium Pass for free (including Premium DFS & MLB Premium), normally a $59.99 value. Expert DFS research, sample lineups, matchup ratings and lots more!

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Cleveland Indians vs Marco Estrada

The Cleveland Indians went into the postseason looking to dominate with their elite pitching staff, but the plan changed. Instead, their hitting took over, as injuries plagued their roster. Tonight, Marco Estrada will attempt to keep them off the scoreboard, but that is not a likely scenario. The Indians will score early and often, as Corey Kluber attempts to pick up yet another postseason victory.

Also Consider: Washington Nationals vs Rich Hill

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Max Scherzer ($11,800)

It is difficult to argue against a pitching option in the postseason, especially this deep. Everyone is in play. However, Max Scherzer is the best at what he does. He has been great all season for the Washington Nationals, and he will have to play well tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers, if the Nationals want to move on to face the Chicago Cubs. Rich Hill has his work cut out for him, as Scherzer will likely allow two or less runs. He should also load up on strikeouts.

Corey Kluber ($10,300)

Corey Kluber is the second best pitching option on the board this slate. That should be rather obvious. He gets a tough matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, but his strikeout-potential is much higher than Marco Estrada's. Estrada will likely lose the game, and Scherzer and Kluber should be the two highest scoring pitchers of the two-day slate.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C) - Jose Lobaton ($3,000)

The catching options on this slate are horrible. The only solid catcher plays for the Chicago Cubs, and they will not be playing until Saturday. Lobaton is hitting almost .400 in his last 10 starts, but he has been horrible all season long. Regardless, use him in 50/50 contests and tournaments, as Yasmani Grandal is the only other decent option.

First Base (1B) - Edwin Encarnacion ($4,000)

The Toronto Blue Jays are a powerful team with a high-upside offense. There is no doubting that. Edwin Encarnacion hit a home run in his last start, and it would not be surprising to see him do it again. He has three home runs in his last four games. Use him in all formats, especially tournaments tonight against Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians.

Second Base (2B) - Trea Turner ($5,000)

Even elite postseason pitching is not enough to keep Trea Turner off of the scoreboard. He is hitting well over .300 in his last 10 games with double-digit fantasy points per game on average. He is one of the best hitters in the league. That much has been established. Use him in all formats tonight, even against Rich Hill.

Shortstop (SS) - Corey Seager ($4,400)

Corey Seager is not hitting all that well right now, but he is one of the best hitters in the league, and he is in play in all formats tonight. He gets a terrible matchup, but no matchup is great this slate. He has a lot of power and upside with 28 home runs and 75 RBIs this season. He is best suited for tournaments, but he will have to work in 50/50 contests as well.

Third Base (3B) - Josh Donaldson ($4,700)

Josh Donaldson is one of the best hitters in the league. He ended the season with a bang, and he has a lot of upside and potential in the postseason, as well. He is hitting almost .400 in his last 10 games with double-digit fantasy points per game on average. Use him in all formats without hesitation.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Jayson Werth ($4,100)

Jayson Werth has been solid of recent. He went 2-for-3 in his last game, and he gets a great matchup against a left-handed pitchers tonight in Rich Hill. Hill has a high K-rate, but Werth dominates lefties. Take any advantage possible when playing postseason fantasy baseball. Use Werth in all leagues.

Jose Bautista ($4,000)

Jose Bautista has two home runs in his last four games. He has a lot of power and upside, which makes him dangerous in tournaments. Corey Kluber will try to keep the runs to a minimum tonight, but these Blue Jay hitters are very hot. Use them in tournaments.
