FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/30/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've never seen an MLB playoff slate like this before and likely never will again: all 16 teams are in play for an action-packed daylong main slate.

There are some interesting pitching options to consider and plenty of value bats to pick from, as well as some enticing stacks to target.

I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 9/30/2020. 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.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Tyler Glasnow - TAM vs TOR ($10,400)

There are a bunch of aces to choose from on the main slate, but Glasnow's monster 38.2% K-rate separates him from the pack. Since strikeouts are the key to upside on FanDuel, it only makes sense that Glasnow is the top pick for GPP tournaments. Trevor Bauer and Walker Buehler will likely be the chalkier picks, so Glasnow will get the additional bonus of coming in at a lower rostership. Glasnow does have to face a legit Toronto lineup, but it will be at home in a pitcher-friendly park.

Chris Paddack - SDP vs STL ($8,500)

Paddack is another option who could fly under the radar as a contrarian play. There's no getting around the fact that he's been pretty awful this year, but his matchup against the Cardinals is a spot to take a chance on him. The Cards had just a .305 wOBA against right-handed pitching this year. With only a 12 start sample to look this year, it's possible that Paddack's true talent level is closer to his 2019 performance and he just had a bad range of outcomes in 2020. With an affordable salary and low rostership, Paddack can crush this slate with a strong outing.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Yuli Gurriel - 1B, HOU at MIN ($2,500)

The Astros are a lineup to consider stacking against Jose Berrios, who posted a middling 4.06 FIP. Gurriel is virtually a punt play at this price and can be paired with high-end guys like George Springer and Alex Bregman.

Luis Arraez - 2B, MIN vs HOU ($2,300)

Arraez batted leadoff for the Twins in Game 1 and is an absolute steal at this price atop the lineup. Batting leadoff will provide extra plate appearances and ample run scoring opportunities for when he gets on base. With a .364 OBP, Arraez should have no problems there. He is a lock for cash game lineups.

Jose Ramirez - 3B, CLE vs NYY ($4,100)

With lots of value plays to choose from, you should be able to work in some expensive elite plays. Ramirez had an MVP campaign after batting .292 with 17 homers and 10 steals, which gives him unmatched fantasy upside. Opposing starter Masahiro Tanaka is one to target, as he outperformed his 4.42 FIP and had a 1.69 HR/9.

Marcus Semien - SS, OAK vs CWS ($3,200)

Semien is another leadoff hitter to grab as the A's face a lefty. Semien was much better against southpaws this year with a 114 wRC+ and faces Dallas Keuchel. Keuchel's success this year has been suspect, as he's got a dreadful 16.3% K-rate.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Mark Canha - OF, OAK vs CWS ($2,800)

To continue picking on Keuchel, Canha is way too cheap considering he should bat cleanup against a left-hander. Canha has been shredding lefties with a .333/.482/.500 line.

Nelson Cruz - OF, MIN vs HOU ($4,000)

Cruz remains unstoppable in his age 40 season with a .411 wOBA. He can easily be the top hitter on any slate with his power upside and will see RBI chances batting cleanup for the Twins.

Wil Myers - OF, SDP vs STL ($3,200)

Myers has a .656 slugging percentage against left-handed pitching and will hit cleanup in the electric Padres lineup, so it's wild that he's so attainable at this price. Cardinals starter Kwang Hyun Kim has a 5.00 SIERA and won't survive in the postseason on a .217 BABIP and a 86.6% LOB-rate, so take advantage.
