MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/21/15

As always, my goal with this article is to help you identify viable options to insert into your DraftKings lineups, based on pricing and matchups data. He's a compilation of players I like when choosing a lineup for Sunday, June 21st.

Editor's Note: If you play on DraftKings, you should check out our Partner FanDuel - they're hosting a one-day Fantasy Baseball league tonight. It's just $5 to enter and pays out $75,000 in cash prizes, including 10K to 1st place!

Offenses to Target for DraftKings Stacking

Toronto Blue Jays (Middle of the Lineup) vs Chris Tillman

The Toronto Blue Jays are the best offense in baseball. Against right-handed pitching specifically, the Blue Jays hold a wRC+ of 110. This is third best in the league. Sunday is a great opportunity to load up on the power bats from the Blue Jays lineup as they go up against Chris Tillman. On the year, Tillman holds a 5.58 ERA with a 1.55 WHIP. Guys like Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Reyes have excellent career numbers against Tillman. Kevin Pillar and Chris Colabello have also both been hot and serve as excellent value picks.

Cleveland Indians LHB vs Alex Colome

The left-handed bats in the Cleveland Indians lineup have continued to hit right-handed pitching extremely well this year. They hold a top-ten offense against right-handed pitching, with wRC+ of 110. This looks like a great matchup against opposing pitcher Alex Colome. Colome has really struggled with his control and now holds a 5.14 ERA with a 1.55 WHIP. Look to put guys like Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley into your lineup.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for DraftKings

Michael Wacha (SP, STL) - $9100

Michael Wacha has really broken through as an ace caliber pitcher this season. On the year, Wacha holds a 2.48 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP. Wacha has a very nice matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies have the worst offense in the league against right-handed pitching, with a wRC+ of just 69. With this in mind, Wacha should definitely provide excellent value for his price tag as your primary starting pitcher.

Yovani Gallardo (SP, TEX) - $7100

Yovani Gallardo looks to be a nice bargain pick for your secondary pitching position. Gallardo has strung together some quality starts as of late and is flashing signs of the talent and steadiness he showed earlier in his career. On the year, Gallardo holds a 3.16 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP. He is matched up against the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox hold a bottom-five offense against right-handed pitching with a wRC+ of 84.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for DraftKings

Yadier Molina (C, STL) - $3600

Yadier Molina has been hitting well as of late and has even shown some pop at the plate. In the month of June, Molina is hitting .315 and has also hit two home runs. Molina provides incredible consistency at the catcher position and will continue to be in an excellent position to drive in runs for this good Cardinals offense. He should do well at the plate on Sunday against opposing pitcher Adam Morgan. Morgan was recently called up and has had recent struggles in Triple A.

Edwin Encarnacion (1B, TOR) - $4800

Edwin Encarnacion is the first of three must-play bats for the Toronto Blue Jays against Chris Tillman. Encarnacion is a career 13 for 43 with two home runs against Tillman. Encarnacion’s batting average doesn’t look great but he has actually hit .359 in the month of June. He is heating up at the plate, and Tillman’s lack of control will allow Encarnacion plenty of chances to get on base.

Justin Turner (2B, LAD) - $3700

Justin Turner is a nice hidden gem at the second base position on DraftKings. Since the departure of the Juan Uribe, Turner has really established himself in this great Dodgers offense. Turner now holds a .329 average with seven home runs and 28 RBI. He also heads into this weekend 10 for his last 23 with two home runs, so you should definitely look to ride the hot bat. Turner faces off against opposing pitcher Tim Lincecum. Despite some decent performances earlier this year, Lincecum has come back down to earth, and his high walk rate spells trouble against Turner and the rest of this lineup.

Josh Donaldson (3B, TOR) - $4600

Josh Donaldson has had some nice numbers off of Chris Tillman. Donaldson has cooled down a bit after a scorching May, but he remains a great value play at the third base position. On the year, he holds a .304 average with 17 home runs and 46 RBI. Donaldson can live up to his value on Sunday simply by managing to get on base, as the rest of the offense behind him could easily allow him to score a few runs.

Jose Reyes (SS, TOR) - $4500

Jose Reyes is the third Blue Jay you must play against Chris Tillman. Reyes is a career 9 for 26 with a home run against Tillman. Reyes has also been very consistent at the plate. He provides excellent value at the shortstop position as someone who will very rarely go scoreless. On the year, Reyes holds a .284 average with two home runs and 22 RBI. Look for Reyes to have a nice day at the plate on Sunday.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for DraftKings

Brett Gardner (OF, NYY) - $4800

Brett Gardner heads into the weekend on a complete rampage. Gardner has hit home runs in consecutive games and now holds a .277 average with seven home runs and 33 RBI. His power numbers this year have been an excellent addition to his ability to steal bases and score runs. Gardner faces off against opposing pitcher Anibal Sanchez. Sanchez has been extremely up-and-down this year. There is really no telling of how well or badly he could pitch on Sunday.

Yasiel Puig (OF, LAD) - $3900

Puig’s fantasy price tag has yet to catch up to his production, so he should be a must play for his excellent current value. Puig has yet to really heat up at the plate since returning from injury. However, he still holds a .308 average with three home runs and eight RBI in limited games this year. Puig has also dominated opposing pitcher Tim Lincecum, as he is a career 10 for 17 against him. Puig makes for an excellent pick for your secondary outfield slot.

Josh Harrison (OF, PIT) - $3900

Josh Harrison has some excellent utility on DraftKings. He could very easily be a value pick as a secondary outfielder or a high end tertiary outfielder. Harrison is a career 5 for 9 with two home runs against opposing pitcher Gio Gonzalez. Harrison is hitting .338 in the month of June and is also hitting .311 off of lefties this year. This looks to be the perfect storm for Harrison as Gonzalez has really struggled this year.
