DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/19/16): MLB DFS Advice

Oh, boy. The Cubs have one of the best offenses in the MLB this season, and they will be heading into Coors tonight. Everybody better tune in, because there should be some fireworks!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 8/19/16. 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. Well, let's get down to it!

Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through October. Premium DFS lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more - seven days a week. You can see screenshots of our NFL Premium and MLB Premium and DFS tools. What are you waiting for?

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Chicago Cubs - The Cubs will be heading into Colorado tonight, and they already have an elite offense. They get a great matchup against Tyler Anderson, who has thrown surprisingly well this season, and the Cubs can be used in all leagues.

Los Angeles DodgersThe Dodgers offense has been on fire recently, as it seems like everyone is heating up for them. They get a great matchup against Tim Adleman in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. They are -145 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies have been dominating everyone in Colorado recently, including Scherzer and Strasburg. They are the underdogs in this game, but the run total is set at 11.5 runs. They get a tough matchup against Hendricks, but that could keep their ownership down, and they are a good GPP stacking option.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Johnny CuetoCueto has struggled a bit recently, but he has been an elite pitcher in San Francisco this season. He gets a great matchup against the Mets, and Cueto is a -145 favorite in a game set at 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Cole HamelsHamels has been throwing well this season, especially on the road. He gets a great matchup against the Rays, who have struggled recently. This game will be played in an extremely hitter friendly stadium, and Hamels is a -135 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Gary SanchezSanchez's price tag is slowly but surely raising, but he's still too cheap. He has displayed great power and decent consistency in his short time in the Majors. He gets a great matchup against Weaver, and Sanchez can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Adrian GonzalezGonzalez is a bit more expensive than usual, but he can still be used in all leagues. He has displayed great power recently, and he has been on fire, along with the Dodgers offense. They are an elite stack tonight, and Gonzalez should be used in that.

Second Base (2B)

DJ LeMahieuLeMahieu continues to be priced fairly low because of his tough matchup. He has proven that to be wrong, though, as he's hitting nearly .500 in his last 10 games. He's hitting nearly .400 at home this season, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Addison RussellRussell tends to go overlooked in Cubs stacks, but he has been playing well recently. He isn't hitting for a high batting average, but he has displayed decent power and consistency over his last 10 games. He can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Kris BryantIf you can fit him in your lineup, there is no reason to avoid Bryant. He is hitting well over .300 in his last 10 games with good power and speed. He gets a great matchup in Colorado, and Bryant is an elite option tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Carlos GonzalezCarGo continues to be an elite hitter in Coors, and even though he gets a tough matchup tonight, he has been dominant in Colorado the entire season. He has tons of power, and CarGo can be used in all leagues.

Aaron JudgeJudge is in a similar position as Sanchez, as his price is going up, but it's still too low tonight. He has looked outstanding in his limited games this season, and he gets a great matchup against Weaver tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Angel PaganPagan has been quietly dominating over his last 10 games. He's hitting over .400 over that span, and he gets a decent matchup against Matz tonight. Pagan has been a great hitter in San Francisco this season, and he can be used in all leagues.
