MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/24) - Today's Top Lineups

Chris Sale - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! It's hard to believe we are already in the regular season's final month. There are close races all over the league, and it should result in squads playing their strongest lineups until the bitter end. 

While Boston is lagging in the AL East, Chris Sale is thriving for Atlanta in the NL East. The Braves lefty has been on fire since the All-Star break and has a fantastic matchup versus Colorado on Tuesday. DFS managers should expect Sale to be incredibly popular tonight.

This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 9/3/2024 and the slate locking at 7:07 p.m. EDT. The lineup picks will range from some elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports here. Monitoring injury news and today's MLB starting lineups is also essential.

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Chris Sale - LHP, ATL vs. Rockies ($10.8K DraftKings; $11.6K FanDuel)

Since the All-Star break, Chris Sale is cooking with a 2.27 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 32.4 percent strikeout rate. The veteran lefty faces a Colorado squad with the eighth-highest strikeout rate (26 percent) to LHPs over the last month. Sale has at least nine strikeouts in four of his last seven trips to the mound.

Ryne Nelson - RHP, ARI at Giants ($7.2K DK; $8.8K FD)

A rising Ryne Nelson meets a slumping San Francisco on Tuesday night. Since the midsummer break, the Diamondback's right-handed hurler has compiled a 2.90 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 22. percent K-BB%. He's also racked up at least six strikeouts in five of his last six starts.

Meanwhile, the Giants continue to stumble into September. Over the last month, San Francisco has the third-worst wOBA (.286), fifth-worst OPS (.659), and third-highest strikeout rate (26.6 percent) to RHPs. Nelson will wrestle for DFS points in the Bay Area.

Also consider: Paul Skenes at CHC, Luis Castillo at OAK, David Peterson vs. BOS

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Kyle Manzardo - 1B, CLE at Brady Singer ($2.5K DK; $2.5K FD)

The Guardians called up top prospect Kyle Manzardo over the weekend, and he instantly rewarded the team's faith in him. The rookie cranked two solo shots in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh. He's the minimum price on both sites and a tremendous upside pick for tonight's 10-game slate.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa - 2B/3B/SS/OF, PIT at Kyle Hendricks ($3.9K DK; $2.7K FD)

Leadoff hitters always get a bump in DFS, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa is no different. The Pirates utility bat got Monday off and should be back in the lineup tonight. He's on a four-game hit streak with four runs and three stolen bases. IFK is a route to save salary and spend big elsewhere.

Willy Adames - SS, MIL vs. Steven Matz ($4.7K DK; $3.5K FD)

I don't know whether to focus on Willy Adames' 11-game hit streak or five-game home run streak. Both are impressive, but the home run streak edges it. The Brewers shortstop has 13 runs, 14 RBI, seven home runs, and two stolen bases in this stretch, averaging 15.3 DraftKings PPG.

 

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Aaron Judge - OF, NYY at Andrew Heaney ($6.9K DK; $5.0K FD)

The runaway AL MVP candidate hasn't hit a home run in seven games, so Aaron Judge must be due. The pinstriped slugger is still on pace for 60 home runs, but he doesn't have much margin for error. Andrew Heaney's 10.1 percent Barrel rate since the All-Star break will get Judge back on track.

Teoscar Hernandez - OF, LAD at Reid Detmers ($4.9K DK; $3.5K FD)

It's a shame MLB doesn't have a most-improved award because Teoscar Hernandez would be right in the thick of that race. Despite playing with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, the outfielder still finds ways to shine.

A great example was Monday night when the 31-year-old went 5-for-5 with two runs, a double, and a triple. Hernandez is on track to beat his career-high 32 home runs from 2021 and could move two away in tonight's game against Reid Detmers.

Mickey Moniak - OF, LAA at Walker Buehler ($2.9K DK; $2.6K FD)

It's been a hot month at the plate for Mickey Moniak, but the Angels still won't move him up the order. Regardless, the outfielder is a tremendous value at his Tuesday price. In his previous 18 games, the 26-year-old owns a 1.009 OPS with nine runs, 12 RBI, and 10 extra-base hits.

 

DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks

1. Los Angeles Dodgers at Reid Detmers - LHP, LAA 

Favorite Plays: Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, Will Smith

2. Atlanta Braves vs. Kyle Freeland - LHP, COL 

Favorite Plays: Whit Merrifield, Matt Olson, Ramon Laureano

3.  Milwaukee Brewers vs. Steven Matz - LHP, STL
