MLB Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Baseball Advice for 4/25/16

By SD Dirk on Flickr [CC BY 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

Welcome to Week 4 of the baseball year. Sunday was an exciting cap to end the week, with two games going 13+ innings! Should be another fun-filled slate again this week as the Rockies remain at home.

Today we have a few aces taking the mound (Madison Bumgarner, Noah Syndergaard, Zack Greinke) along with enticing mid-range values. Will Jordan Zimmermann give up a run? With the Pirates/Rockies score 20+ runs? Let's find out.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/25/16. 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

Pittsburgh Pirates/Colorado Rockies

Both teams are on scoring by the bunches and the game is at Coors. While Chad Bettis has looked impressive early on, Jeff Locke has been awful. Entering a cash lineup without having players in this game is DFS-suicide.

Baltimore Orioles

Don't let the name Chris Archer fool you. He hasn't completed six innings since August 2015 and has been unable to locate to this point. Multiple Orioles have hit off Archer, including Chris Davis, Manny Machado, and J.J. Hardy.

 

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Madison Bumgarner - $11,000

Bumgarner has 29 strikeouts in 23 innings and has eclipsed 35 FanDuel points in three of his four starts. Pitching at home versus the Padres, he's a sure thing to reach that point total.

Danny Salazar - $9,200

Salazar has a 1.47 ERA to start 2016 and has topped 40 points twice already, including a 57 point outing his second start. The Twins have struck out over nine times per game, 5th worst in baseball.

Ian Kennedy - $8,200

Kennedy has been reborn in Kansas City, striking out 21 hitters in 20 innings and posting a 1.35 ERA. The Angels have struggled versus RHP this year and ownership should be low for Kennedy given the alternatives.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - A.J. Pierzynski - $2,400

HEAR ME NOW! The Braves get their first home run since April 10th and it comes off the bat of the grizzly vet.

First Base (1B) - Mike Napoli - $3,200

Napoli crushes lefties and gets Tommy Milone tonight. Napoli is 5-for-14 with a HR off Milone in his career.

Second Base (2B) - Josh Harrison - $3,900

Coors Field. J-Hay is on fire. I rest my case.

Shortstop (SS) - Jordy Mercer - $3,600

Mercer is far from a sexy name, but he's an affordable price to get Coors exposure. Mercer has averaged 16 FanDuel points in his last four games.

Third Base (3B) - Adrian Beltre - $3,800

Beltre is back to his old tricks, batting .319 with three home runs so far. I expect a shootout in Texas, and I anticipate Beltre eclipsing double-digit points in the contest.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Gerardo Parra - $3,400

Only $3,400 to get some shares at Coors? Sign me up. Parra is 2-for-3 versus Locke and is coming off a 4-hit game.

Ian Desmond - $3,300

I know what you're thinking. Ian Desmond? But yes, use Ian Desmond. He hit .421 with 7 R, 2 HR, and 3 SB last week and faces homer-happy Nathan Eovaldi tonight.

Ryan Raburn - $3,500

Coors Field. Hit .325 versus LHP last year. This is a no-brainer if he's in the lineup.
