Below are my FanDuel lineup picks for Sunday, August 30th. My goal with these DFS picks, as always, is to try to choose players who will outperform their expectations. These players can be high-cost players, or they can be sleepers, but we are always looking for players that have a chance to return the greatest value on FanDuel. Additionally, since the weekends generally have many afternoon and night games, I’ll make an effort to distribute my picks to cover all the time slots going forward so that if you are playing an afternoon/night only league this article will still be useful.
Daily fantasy baseball leagues (DFS) are becoming the thing to do, and here at RotoBaller we are excited to help our users build their bankrolls. I’ll be covering FanDuel lineup picks, sleepers and general advice every Saturday and Sunday. I’ll also be putting my money where my mouth is by entering my final lineup (at the bottom of the article) into one of FanDuel’s many daily fantasy contests, so that RotoBaller users can compete against me.

DFS Starting Pitchers To Consider for FanDuel
Noah Syndergaard (SP, NYM) - $10,900
His numbers at home are truly incredible. He's 7-1 in Citi Field with a spectacular 1.82 ERA all while striking out over nine batters per 9.
Lance McCullers (SP, HOU) - $6,700
DEAL OF THE DAY! Houston has been being careful with McCullers' innings, but when he's pitched he's been spectacular. He gets the start today in pitcher's friendly Target Field against Minnesota. He went seven innings with eight K's his last time out.
DFS Infielders To Consider for FanDuel
Buster Posey (C, SF) - $3,000
The best hitting catcher in the game is coming back from a little elbow discomfort. Posey is expected to be in the lineup here, and you should reap the reward at this price.
Troy Tulowitzki (SS, TOR) - $3,700
The value is too good here for the best hitting shortstop on a hot offense.
DFS Outfielders To Consider for FanDuel
Andrew McCutchen (OF, PIT) - $5,100
It's a lofty price, but McCutchen has a favorable matchup against Rockies lefty Jorge De La Rosa. McCutchen has a career .330/.418/.575 against left wingers.
Khris Davis (OF, MIL) - $3,400
Davis didn't contribute much to Milwaukee's huge offensive day on Saturday, but my backing of him from yesterday's column stands. The other Chris Davis in Baltimore has gotten all the pub lately, but this one has 10 homers in August.
FanDuel Sleeper Value of the Day
Victor Martinez (C, DET) - $2,400
This call is based purely on history. In 78 career at-bats against Mark Buehrle, Martinez has mashed four homers while hitting .359.
My DFS Lineup on FanDuel
Today I’ll be playing in $15K MLB Bunt game. Remember to check your lineups throughout the day. You never want to get a goose egg for a guy that didn’t play.
