FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/27/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

September 27, 2020

Dave Swan highlights the top FanDuel MLB DFS lineup picks for 9/27/20, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

Sunday is the final day of the regular season, and this includes a big slate. My suggestion is to grab a valued arm that can snatch up a W, then load up on bats for a fun day of home runs! The matchups to take advantage of being in Cleveland, New York(Mets), and the Cubs/White Sox outing.

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 9/27/2020. 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.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Marco Gonzales - SEA @ OAK ($8,800)

Gonzalez is a great pitcher option at this price. He has put up big DFS point totals since the beginning of August and should continue to roll tonight. He is a very playable 23.1% strikeout rate with an elite level 2.4% walk rate. This newfound command has helped lend itself to a 3.04 ERA and 3.44 FIP. He catches a favorable matchup against Oakland, who has a 76 wRC+ and .275 wOBA when facing a southpaw in the previous two weeks.

Kyle Freeland - COL @ ARI ($7,200)

If you don't feel like paying up for an arm today, I would suggest Kyle Freeland. He another one of the poor Rockies starting pitchers that performs much better on the road. He sports a 4.46 ERA in Coors Field and a 2.70 ERA on the road. In fact, batters have a .290 wOBA while slugging only .349. To pile on top of that success, Freeland faces the Diamondbacks, who are the third-worst in wRC+ and have a .282 wOBA vs. LHP.

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Jose Abreu - 1B, CWS vs. CHC ($4,000)

Abreu is the engine for the White Sox offense. He is batting in the cleanup spot around some pretty dynamic players so that the counting stats could be plenty today. The production keeps piling in for Abreu with 103 runs+RBI, and he has put 19 pitches into the bleachers. Abreu looks to add to a terrific 2020 regular season by punishing Adbert Alzolay in the hitter-friendly confines of Guaranteed Rate Field.

Wilmer Flores - 2B, SFG vs. SDP ($2,900)

Flores flourishes against left-handed pitching and slugs nearly 200 points higher than vs. RHP. His .924 OPS and this cheap of a salary makes him a must-start option at 2B. Flores is going to bat cleanup in the potents Giants offense and gets the favorable matchup vs. Adrian Morejon.

Jose Ramirez 3B, CLE vs. PIT ($4,200)

J-Ram has been mashing the ball all season long and today is one of the last opportunities to take advantage of that. He has crushed 17 HRs and put up 89 runs+RBI in 57 games played. His .402 wOBA and.527 xSLG leap off the page to help plant him in the lineup.

Francisco Lindor - SS, CLE vs. PIT ($3,600)

Lindor is going to be part of the Indian's mini stack today. He hasn't had a monster year we have come to expect, but still a very capable SS with eight HRs vs. RHP. Cleveland is still playing for the post-season, and Lindor is typically a player that goes in the $4,000 range. Lindor has the skills to put up a big day, don't sleep on him today because of a sluggish start.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Dominic Smith - OF, NYM @ WAS ($3,500)

Dominic Smith has enjoyed quite an excellent breakout season with ten HRs and 69 runs+RBI. He has done a majority of damage through extra-base hits. He slugged .616 with a .993 OPS on the season and had his way with RHP(1.032 OPS). His opponent is Austin Voth and his 6.25 ERA. Good chance for him to put one out this afternoon.

Kyle Tucker - OF, HOU vs. TEX ($3,400)

The Astros have clinched a playoff spot and resting some of the veteran outfielders like Springer and Brantley, but will likely start Tucker. Let's start with the apparent reason to start Tucker-his opposing SP is Jordan Lyles. Lyles carries a 7.08 ERA and only struck out 32 batters in 52.2 innings pitched, ouch! Tucker has been a beast with full-time at-bats and a .911 OPS vs. RHP.

Ian Happ - OF, CHC @ CWS ($3,000)

Happ is a switch-hitter with significantly more power from the left side of the dish. He has 11 of his 12 home runs when facing a right-handed pitcher and slugs 180 points higher. He squares off against Reynaldo Lopez this evening, and you never know which version of Lopez will show up. The Cubs needs a Crosstown Classic hero, and there is a good chance it will be Ian Happ today.
