DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/23/16): MLB DFS Advice

Justin Bales highlights the top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for 9/23/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings MLB DFS lineups.

The NL Wildcard race is as close as it gets right now. The crazy part is that I am a Mets fan and my brother and dad are Giants fans. It would be a real heartbreak at this point if the Cardinals end up winning into the playoffs through the wildcard.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/23/16. 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

Baltimore OriolesThe Orioles are a high powered offense, especially when they are playing at home. They get a great matchup against Shelby Miller, who has struggled with a 6.90 ERA this season. The Orioles are -185 favorites in a game set at 10.5 runs, and they are an elite stacking option tonight.

Cleveland IndiansThe Indians have an explosive offense that is loaded with upside throughout. They get a great matchup against Miguel Gonzalez, who has been throwing surprisingly well recently. Still, the Indians come with plenty of upside, and they are -170 favorites in a game set at 9 runs. They are a high upside tournament stack.

Milwaukee BrewersThe Brewers are a stack that always seem to fly under the radar, but they have tons of upside because of their elite combination of speed and power. They get a good matchup against Anthony DeSclafani in an extremely pitcher friendly stadium tonight. Milwaukee is a -110 favorite in a game set at 9 runs, and they are another great tournament stack.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Danny DuffyDuffy has thrown well this season, especially over his last 10 games. Over that span, he has a 6-1 record with a 3.13 ERA and a great strikeout rate. He gets a matchup against the Tigers, and Duffy is a small underdog in a game set at 8 runs. Duffy certainly comes with risk, but he is one of the best pitchers on this slate.

Cole Hamels - Hamels has really been struggling recently, but he has flashed elite upside. He has also been a significantly better pitcher on the road this season. He gets a great matchup against the A's, and Hamels is a -145 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. He's a high upside option tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Ramon CabreraCabrera doesn't always draw the start for the Reds, but he has been playing well recently. He is a consistent option with good upside when he gets a full games worth of at-bats. He gets a good matchup against Davies tonight, and he's a solid option if he's announced as the starter.

First Base (1B)

Hanley RamirezRamirez is dealing with a minor injury, but he is expected to play. He has been an elite hitter recently, as he's hitting over .350 with elite power over his last 10 games. He gets a terrible matchup against Archer in a pitcher friendly stadium, but HanRam has been hot enough for GPPs.

Second Base (2B)

Dee GordonGordon hasn't been hitting that well over his last 10 games, but he has been a fairly consistent fantasy option with elite speed. He gets a great matchup against Wisler tonight, and Gordon is cheap enough to be used in all leagues tonight.

Shortstop (SS)

Sean RodriguezRodriguez has been one of the hottest hitters in the MLB recently. He's hitting over .400 with great power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Gonzalez, and Rodriguez has dominated left-handed pitching throughout his career. He's an elite option in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Brandon DruryDrury has been cooling off recently, but he's still hitting over .350 with great power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Gallardo in a hitter friendly stadium. He isn't safe enough for cash games, but he's a great GPP option.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Trea TurnerIf the money is there, it's tough to go away from Turner. He has been an elite player since joining the Nationals. He possesses a rare combination of speed and power, and he gets a good matchup against Taillon tonight. He isn't the safest option, but he can be used in all leagues in this matchup.

Jarrod DysonDyson has been playing extremely well recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .350 with great speed. He comes with good upside because of his stealing potential, and he gets a decent matchup against Fulmer. Dyson has been safe enough for all leagues.

Josh BellBell continues to be a bit underpriced for his recent production. He's hitting nearly .300 over his last 10 games, and he has displayed good upside. He gets a matchup against Gonzalez, and Bell has been an elite hitter at home this season. He can be used in all leagues for his low price tag.
