FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/13/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Dave Swan highlights the top FanDuel MLB DFS lineup picks for 9/13/20, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

Today kicks off a Sunday filled with sports and a sizeable 11-game slate. Pitching has one real ace to select, and many value plays that will leave us plenty in the budget to load up on bats. There are two good stacks with the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. As always, win big with Rotoballer in 2020!

In this article, we'll identify players who will help you win a cash game and build your bankroll or take down a GPP for a big pay-day. Every player on this list is on one of my own FanDuel teams.

I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 9/13/2020. Be sure to also check out all the MLB player news, including late scratches, and the projected and confirmed daily MLB lineups for each DFS slate. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like DraftKings, and other sports too.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Max Scherzer - WAS vs. ATL ($11,000)

Scherzer is the top-priced arm on the slate by a wide margin. He is the only real ace on the slate and should be considered the safest pitcher. His dominance is shown off by the high strikeout rate(31.9%) and low walk rate(7.9%). The matchup has a degree of difficulty since he squares off against the red hot Atlanta Braves, who in the previous two weeks have scored nearly 25 runs than the second best.

Lance Lynn - TEX vs. OAK ($9,000)

Lynn is an excellent option if you want elite level production but don't want to pay the Scherzer price. He has shown the ability to put up large strikeout numbers in any start. His 2.53 ERA comes with a 4.13 FIP that suggests Lynn has been somewhat lucky and could regress a little. The good news is they are playing in Texas, a pitchers park, and against the Oakland Athletics that will be without power slugger Matt Chapman. There is a fair chance Lynn keeps them in the game long enough to pick up the win.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Bobby Dalbec - 3B, BOS @ TAM  ($3,300)

Dalbec has been a one-person wrecking crew since joining the MLB roster. He put up highlight reel home runs for four straight games and continues to mash extra-base hits. While the pace he is on is not sustainable, you can't help but overlook the production and low salary. Put all that with a matchup against struggling vet Charlie Morton, and there is substantial value here.

Luke Voit - 1B, NYY vs. BAL ($3,900)

Voit is leading the MLB in home runs with Mike Trout. Those words were probably not the expectation by anyone coming into 2020, but here we are. His statcast slider shows that Voit has earned every bit of his power with a 92nd percentile in xwOBA and 86th percentile in barrel%. He can take a ball out of any park, and against John Means is not a tall task.

Adalberto Mondesi - SS, KC vs. PIT ($2,800)

Wow, talk about doing a 180 on the season. Mondesi looked incapable of handling MLB pitching until the last two weeks. Since then, he has stolen eight bags and hit four home runs in only 40 at-bats. That is a significant point of production in a short period. Keep riding the hot hand of Mondesi at his lower salary for a massive return on investment.

DJ LeMahieu - 2B, NYY vs. BAL ($2,800)

LeMahieu is another piece in the Yankees stack. DJ takes advantage of every at-bat and gives nothing away, as shown by his 98th percentile in K% and whiff%. Does he barrel the ball a ton? No, but that doesn't mean LeMahieu is incapable of hitting the long ball. He has six on the season, and the majority of those are opposite-field pokes over the short fences in right field at Yankees Stadium. Like Voit, he gets the favorable matchup against John Mean, who gives up home runs like candy on Halloween at times.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Randal Grichuk - OF, TOR vs. NYM ($3,100)

Grichuk plays in the sneaky ballpark in Buffalo today. Right-handed hitters are destroying balls out there, and matching up against southpaw David Peterson is a bonus. Peterson has a 5.2 K-BB% and 4.25 ERA with a 4.71 FIP. All those signs point to allowing a bunch of runs today. Grichuk has four home runs and a .998 OPS vs. LHP.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr - OF, TOR vs. NYM ($2,800)

Gurriel is the second part of the mini-stack for Toronto due to many of the same reasons as Grichuk, the park, and favorable pitching matchup. When looking at Gurriel's platoon splits this year, I am a little confused, as he has a sub .700 OPS and a .392 slugging percent. He is likely due for some positive regression as his career numbers are a .877 OPS and .547 slugging percent. Could be some sneaky value coming his way!

Clint Frazier - OF, NYY vs. BAL ($3,300)

Frazier completes the Yankees stack on the slate. He is slashing .270/.383/.517 with a .900 OPS since joining the MLB squad. The Yankees are forecasted to put up one of the higher run totals on the day, and Frazier is likely to bat in the cleanup spot for the pinstripers. Plug him in for a strong potential of points.
