FanDuel DFS - MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers, & Advice for 10/20/2015

If tonight's contests look like the ALCS Game 3 (19 runs), things are going to be fun. If we get what we've seen from the NLDS to this point (nine runs in two games), we're going to die from boredom. Let's hope for the former!

Today we get to analyze the Cubs trying to fight back from a 2-0 deficit versus Jacob deGrom and the Blue Jays looking to even their series 2-2 behind R.A. Dickey. Let's get to the picks.

Offenses to Target for FanDuel Stacking

Toronto Blue Jays versus Chris Young

Hard to pick a team in the NLDS considering there's been nine runs total and Jacob deGrom is set to pitch for New York. Alas, we twiddle our choices down to the Royals and Blue Jays. When you combine the Blue Jays needing a win here to keep pace and their offensive outburst from last night, this pick is a no-brainer. Opposing starter Chris Young has pitched well enough lately (2.37 ERA in last month) but his arm isn't stretched out to last more than six innings. I'm grabbing Russell Martin, Josh Donaldsonand Kevin Pillar.

Honorable Mention: Cubs vs. Jacob deGrom

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

R.A. Dickey (SP, TOR) - $7,900

One of the last things you want to see as a hitter after facing a pitcher throwing gas is a knuckleballer. Enter, R.A. Dickey. Dickey has a 3.11 ERA in Toronto this season and the only time he faced KC: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K. That'll do, especially considering the price gap to deGrom.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Russell Martin (C, TOR) - $3,200

Martin is 10-for-30 lifetime versus Chris Young, which may be just the cure to ail him of this ALCS funk (0-for-5).

Kendrys Morales (1B, KC) - $3,800

Morales hit an absolute bomb last night to cap a 3-for-4 night and is now hitting .400 in the postseason.

Daniel Murphy (2B, NYM) - $3,800

Sorry, I refuse to fade Daniel Murphy. If you want to make a fade play, my vote is Ryan Goins.

Kris Bryant (3B, CHC) - $4,300

All this talk about the Cubs struggling versus 94+ pitches likely has FanDuel players scared, but keep in mind Bryant was an exception to that stat and has a HR to his name versus deGrom.

Alcides Escobar (SS, KC) - $2,300

Escobar continues to be a table-setter for the Royals, finishing Game 3 with a 4-for-5 line with three runs. Hurts to pick a player who's going to be heavily owned, but it's not the worst part to sacrifice.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Kyle Schwarber (OF, CHC) - $3,400

Schwarbo! He looked lost in New York, but look for the home crowd to rejuvenate his power bat. Our Hitter Streaming Tool has Schwarber as the top ranked OF for the day.

Kevin Pillar (OF, TOR) - $3,200

Such a delight to watch. Pillar was a huge component of the Blue Jays Game 3 win with his bat and glove. His power/speed combo makes him a juicy play at the $3,200 clip.

Jorge Soler (OF, CHC) - $2,800

If the Cubs want to get back in this series they need to put Soler back in their lineup. Soler hit .571 in the NLDS and has shown better patience than we saw in the regular season.
