Welcome to another wild Wednesday on FanDuel. (throws tomato)
We've got another full slate on deck, although you will miss the Padres/Giants if you enter a main tourney. Aside from that 3:45 PM game, everything will be starting at 7:05. We've got another solid coup of pitchers along with a game at Coors to consider. Let's get started.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/27/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on FanDuel.
DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel
Texas Rangers versus C.C. Sabathia
Sabathia has been far from impressive in 2016, accruing a 5.28 ERA in three starts. The Rangers have 28 RBI vs left-handed pitching, fifth best in baseball, along with a .272 BAA. Sabathia has struggled versus the Rangers previously, with Adrian Beltre, Prince Fielder, and Elvis Andrus all having success previously. I also like grabbing Ian Desmond here for what should be a slugfest.
Also Consider: Pittsburgh Pirates versus Jon Gray
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel
Jeff Samardzija (SP, SFG) - $9,000
This is only for all-day players. Samardzija gets a day game versus the Padres, who just got shut out by Johnny Cueto. Samardzija has 33 strikeouts in 29 career innings versus the Padres, and the Padres have 183 strikeouts this year (4th most).
Josh Tomlin (SP, CLE) - $8,700
Tomlin has been impressive through two starts, posting a 1.54 ERA and 10/1 K/BB ratio. The downside is he hasn't gone deep into games, but the Terry Francona may be ready to let Tomlin off the leash after a good start.
Also Consider: Jake Arrieta (SP, CHC) - $12,900 (cash) and Steven Wright (SP, BOS) - $6,900 (tournaments)
DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel
Catcher (C)
Francisco Cervelli (C, PIT) - $3,600
Coors Field. Not the highest priced catcher on the board. FanDuel messed up here. Take advantage.
First Base (1B)
Edwin Encarnacion (1B, TOR) - $3,800
EE is starting to get hot and is batting .308 with a HR versus Jose Quintana for you BvP lovers.
Second Base (2B)
Dustin Pedroia (2B, BOS) - $3,300
The Laser Show is hitting .348 over his past six games and has smacked Bud Norris around in the past.
Shortstop (SS)
Xander Bogaerts (SS, BOS) - $3,700
This is my mini-Red Sox stack. Bogaerts has comforted concerned fantasy owners with a strong start to the week, including a couple steals last night. His price will be back above $4K soon enough.
Third Base (3B)
Nolan Arenado (3B, COL) - $5,100
It'll cost you a ton but Arenado is as safe as they get tonight. He mashes lefties at home and is heating up. The price tag should keep ownership low, increasing the value of this play.
DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel
With all the expensive options at pitcher tonight, I'll focus on finding as much value in this section as possible.
Josh Reddick (OF, OAK) - $3,400
Reddick has made some adjustments to his swing and they are showing. He's hitting .625 in this series and will look to keep it going. BvP truthers will be scared by his 1-for-9 track record versus Justin Verlander, but I'm riding the hot hand.
Ian Desmond (OF, TEX) - $3,100
I keep recommending Desmond here, and I don't see a reason to stop now. He's hitting .364 with seven runs, two HR, and five SB and gets a lefty matchup with Sabathia.
Leonys Martin (OF, SEA) - $2,800
A sneaky power/speed threat, Martin had consecutive 20+ point outings before getting the night off versus Dallas Keuchel. He'll be back in there tonight and hopefully players will forget his hot start to the week.
