DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/16/16): MLB DFS Advice

Once again we're coming off a great night of football! Well, any night with football is great, in my opinion. Now we're set for a large slate of MLB, and there will be plenty of elite plays tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/16/16. 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 DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium + DFS for free through the playoffs. Premium DFS research, lineup picks, expert lineups, tools and more. 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

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies return to Coors tonight where they will be an elite offense. They get a great matchup against the Friedrich, who has struggled quite a bit this season. Colorado is a -160 favorite in a game set at 12 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox make an elite stack tonight, as they get an easy matchup in Boston. They'll face off against Luis Cessa, who has struggled with home runs recently. The Red Sox are -172 favorites in a game set at 10 runs, and they are another great stacking option.

Toronto Blue JaysThe Blue Jays aren't the safest stack, but they have elite power and get a great matchup against Jered Weaver, who is a fly ball pitcher. The Blue Jays could potentially hit a few home runs in this type of matchups, and they are -135 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs. They are a high upside GPP stack.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Corey KluberKluber has been throwing at an elite level recently, as he has a 7-1 record with a 2.36 ERA and a 10.2 K/9 over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against the Tigers, who he dominated in two starts this season, and Kluber is a -170 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Bartolo ColonColon has been enjoying a great season, and he has looked outstanding over his last 10 games. Over that span, he has a 5-2 record with a 2.90 ERA. He doesn't strike many batters out, but he can pitch deep into games, and he's a -193 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs. He's best suited for GPPs.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

J.T. RealmutoRealmuto has been playing well recently, as he's hitting over .300 in his last 10 games. He has been a consistent option with good upside, and he gets a great matchup against Morgan tonight. Realmuto can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Kendrys MoralesMorales' price dropped quite a bit recently, but he hasn't cooled off at all. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .350 with elite power. He's a high upside player, but he has been safe enough for all leagues recently, as well.

Second Base (2B)

Dustin PedroiaPedroia has been playing at a high level for the Red Sox recently, as he's hitting over .350 over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Cessa tonight, and the Red Sox should have no problems scoring runs tonight. Pedroia can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Tyler SaladinoSaladino's price tag is a bit shocking tonight, as he's hitting over .350 in his last 10 games, but he's still fairly cheap. He gets a decent matchup against Kennedy, and Saladino is a great option in all leagues tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Jung Ho KangKang has been one of the hottest hitters in the MLB recently, as he's hitting over .450 with good power over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Stephenson in a hitter friendly stadium tonight, and he can safely be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Charlie BlackmonBlackmon has been on absolute fire recently, and he'll return to Coors tonight. He gets a great matchup against Friedrich, and the Rockies should have no problems scoring tonight. Blackmon can be used in all leagues.

Hunter PencePence is an outfielder that is too cheap. He is hitting over .400 with decent power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Luke Weaver, and Pence has looked elite recently. He can be used in all leagues.

Kevin PillarPillar hasn't looked great recently, but he's cheap and comes with upside. He gets a great matchup against Jered Weaver, who has struggled quite a bit this season. Pillar is best suited for GPPs, though.
