DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/20/20)

There's nothing like spending your Sunday afternoon lounging on the couch and watching your DFS stack of hitters mash. Today we're going to help that become a reality for you.

I'll take a look at each position and build a lineup using my favorite plays on the slate. Our goal here is to take down a GPP and secure a nice return on our investment. Today's a tough pitching slate, but there are some great values that would allow us to load our team with premium hitters. Always remember to stack your hitters to optimize your lineups!

In this article, I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the DraftKings main slate on 9/20/2020. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel and other sports as well.

DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers

Deivi Garcia - P, NYY @ BOS ($7,600)

Garcia pitched seven strong innings in each of his last two starts, allowing a combined five runs, while walking two and striking out 12 in 14 innings. The Yankees are on fire right now, currently on a 10-game winning streak - they've scored an absurd 57 runs in their last five games. Garcia has a good chance to secure the win in this one, making him an even more appealing option at this cheap price.

Ryan Yarbrough - P, TB @ BAL ($7,100)

The Orioles are really playing poorly lately, going 2-8 in their last 10 games, as their offense has gone ice-cold - they have scored one run or less in eight of their last 11 games. Yarbrough doesn't pitch deep into games, but he should have an opportunity to provide some strikeouts with a quality start against this struggling offense.

DraftKings DFS Infielders

Travis d'Arnaud - C, ATL @ NYM ($4,600)

d'Arnaud has been red-hot lately, going 16-for-41 (.390) with five runs, three homers, and nine RBI in his last 10 games. He's been a fixture in the cleanup spot, so he has an opportunity to put up some counting stats and keep it rolling against RHP Rick Porcello, who is always in play as a pitcher to exploit.

Carlos Santana - 1B, CLE @ DET ($3,600)

Santana is a nice value here against LHP Matthew Boyd, who has been losing his command lately, walking eight hitters in his last two starts (8.2 innings). Santana has always hit lefties better than righties, so this is a solid matchup against one of the most inconsistent pitchers in baseball.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B, NYY @ BOS ($5,500)

LeMahieu is rolling right now, going 16-for-39 (.444) with 14 runs, five homers, and 11 RBI in his last nine games. He goes up against RHP Tanner Houck, who is coming off a strong start where he pitched five shutout innings, but this isn't a matchup to avoid. The Yankees lineup is just way too hot right now, so we need to start our stack with their leadoff hitter.

Jose Ramirez - 3B, CLE @ DET ($5,300)

Ramirez is swinging the bat well lately, going 15-for-34 (.441) with six runs, four homers, eight RBI, and one stolen base in his last eight games. Ramirez's power-speed profile and plate discipline raises his floor, since he can walk and steal a base if the power isn't there for the day. He makes for a nice pairing with Santana against Boyd, so we'll fire up this Indians duo.

Gleyber Torres - SS, NYY @ BOS ($4,300)

Torres is starting to pick it up lately, going 9-for-24 (.375) with five runs, two homers, and seven RBI in his last seven games. He's a terrific value that allows us to add another share in this scorching Yankees lineup.

DraftKings DFS Outfielders

Clint Frazier - OF, NYY @ BOS ($4,800)

Frazier has been a revelation this season, slashing .306/.422/.595 with eight home runs in 133 plate appearances. He's increased his walk rate from 6.5 BB% to 15.6 BB%, demonstrating a notable improvement in plate discipline. Frazier has gone 11-for-25 (.440) with 10 runs, three homers, and nine RBI in his last eight games.

Ryan Braun - OF, MIL vs. KC ($3,500)

Braun is an awesome value today because you get a red-hot hitter at such a cheap price. The Brewers' veteran has gone 11-for-29 (.379) with seven runs, five homers, and 15 RBI in his last nine games. He takes on RHP Brad Keller, who is coming off a complete-game shutout, but allowed four or more runs in two of his previous three starts.

Ryan Mountcastle - OF, BAL vs. TB ($3,500)

Mountcastle has been fantastic since being called up, slashing .344/.404/.552 with five home runs in 109 plate appearances. While he has a tough matchup against LHP Ryan Yarbrough, this cheap price allows us to fit in a Yankees and Indians stack, so we need to ride with Mountcastle.
