The Monday morning blues have set in for many but don’t worry you still have time to enter your FanDuel lineups for tonight’s Major League Baseball action. Tonight we are limited to just six contest taking place around the league including three National League contests, two American League contests and an Interleague matchup.

Since we are limited to just 12 starters the list of top tier starters are limited to just a few with the key names including Corey Kluber, Matt Harvey, Chris Sale and Cole Hamels. Outside of those four the one fantasy sleeper to consider might be Kyle Lobstein for the Detroit Tigers taking the mound against a Milwaukee Brewers team that has struggled for much of the 2015 MLB Season. The other Fantasy FanDuel bargain for tonight is Rubby de la Rosa for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Kluber might be coming off one of the best pitching performances we have seen in a very long time in his last out. The Cleveland Indians starter went eight innings allowing just one hit while striking out 18 and finished with 30 fantasy points. That came after he had struggled since his first outing of the season but quickly made fantasy owners fall back in love.

Here is our MLB FanDuel lineup for May 18^th, 2015.

P – Rubby de la Rosa ($6,800): If you are looking for a gamble play tonight and one that many might turn away from that is Rosa. We aren’t sold on any of the top arms based on matchup and the ball park they might be pitching in. If you want a more secure option jump back up to Kluber against the Chicago White Sox. Rosa has five double digit fantasy performances in his 10 starts this season for the Diamondbacks.

C – Wilin Rosario ($3,500): Typically we don’t do a lot of splurging at the catcher position but we love Rosario’s play tonight against Cole Hamels. The Colorado Rockies catcher is hitting .333 against Hamels with two career home runs and four runs driven in.

First Base – Miguel Cabrera ($5,200): The former league MVP is red hot of late picking up at least one hit in five straight games. In that stretch, Cabrera has nine hits, one double, four home runs, nine runs driven in and seven runs scored.

Second Base – Jose Altuve ($4,600): Altuve has been one of the best hitters in baseball and we elected to jump on his after his negative performance on Sunday. Look for him to get back in the positive numbers tonight against the Oakland A’s. In his career Altuve has five hits in 10 career at bats against Drew Pomeranz.

Third Base – Nick Castellanos ($2,400): Looking for a FanDuel bargains landed us with the Detroit Tigers third baseman. Castellanos has had an up and down season but had hit in five straight games before his 0 for 4 performance on Sunday.

Short Stop – Freddy Galvis ($3,300): We looked at the Rockies/Phillies matchup for potential fantasy plays. Unfortunatly with Hamels on the mound we didn’t load up on Rockies and limited us to a few plays for the Phillies. Galvis has posted four straight games with at least 3.75 fantasy points as he gets ready for a series in one of the better hitter ball parks in the game.

Outfielder – Michael Cuddyer ($2,500): Cuddyer has not lived up to the contract the New York Mets have giving him this off season. That being said he does have a favorable matchup tonight against John Lackey. In his career Cuddyer has four career home runs in 25 career at bats against the St. Louis Cardinals starter.

Outfielder – Grady Sizemore ($2,700): We suggest monitoring the lineups late this afternoon to make sure Sizemore is in. If so he is a solid option at $2,700 playing a hitters ball park like Coors Field against a starter Jordan Lyles who has struggled of late.

Outfielder – George Springer ($3,700): Sticking with the Houston Astros landed us with George Springer against Pomeranz. Springer has seven contests with at least two fantasy points over his last 10 games for his fantasy owners.

The weather is warming up as we prepare for a little weekend baseball on FanDuel. While tonight’s lineup of games is limited to just 11 games it should still provide a ton of options. The action should be plenty to cash in on tonight on FanDuel. The list of front line starters taking the mound tonight is deep including Felix Hernandez.

Hernandez will be taking the mound tonight as the Seattle Mariners welcome the Boston Red Sox to town. When we look back at his last five starts, Hernandez has posted double digits in each of those starts including back-to-back performances with 22. In all of his starts this season he has only failed to reach double digit in one of seven outings while having three games with over 20.

While Hernandez is a great option we also have a few other stars taking the mound as well in tonight’s lineup of games. The list includes Max Scherzer for the Washington Nationals against the San Diego Padres, Zach Greinke for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Colorado Rockies and Danny Salazar for the Cleveland Indians against the Texas Rangers.

You could also go a little cheaper for a guy like Ubaldo Jimenez who had his start bumped up one day due to an illness. This move would save you over $4k to work with for other top tier stars on your lineup.

Here is our lineup for tonight’s MLB action on FanDuel for Saturday May 16^th.

P – Felix Hernandez ($11,500): While it was a difficult debate we ended up going with the nearly certain double digit fantasy performance. The downside is we will have to look for some FanDuel bargains throughout the remainder of the positions.

C – Mike Zunino ($2,500): Catchers are a difficult play early in the day as managers typically like to give them a day off here and there. That being said if you look back at Zunino success of late he has typically put up some solid fantasy numbers after back-to-back games that he struggled in.

First Base – Adrian Gonzalez ($4,500): This was a simple call tonight based on Gonzalez’s past success against Jorge De La Rosa. The Dodgers first baseman is hitting .370 with three home runs and 14 runs driven in against the Rockies starter in 46 at bats.

Second Base – Danny Espinosa ($2,600): We needed to find a few bargains to make the top two plays work in our lineup. The Nationals infielder has played well of late turning in eight straight positive fantasy number performances over his last 10 games.

Third Base – Lonnie Chisenhall ($2,600): The Cleveland Indians third baseman got the night off last night but we expect him back in the lineup tonight. When looking around the Majors we looked at value FanDuel bargains that are playing in hitter ball parks and tonight the Indians are in the Ball Park at Arlington.

Short Stop – Alcides Escobar ($2,800): While the Kansas City Royals infielder won’t provide you with a ton of home run power he does however get on base often and scores a bunch of runs including 10 over his last 10 games while picking up 15 hits.

Outfielder – Jay Bruce ($2,400): Bruce has struggled all season despite picking up five home runs in his first 34 games. Based on this his fantasy value is down making him a great value play as a FanDuel bargain with a potential to hit it out of the ball park almost any night of the week.

Outfielder – Jacob Marisnick ($2,500): Sticking with FanDuel bargains landed us with the Houston Astros outfielder. Marisnick has five doubles, two triples, three home runs and 14 runs driven in in 33 games this season. If we would have just went with a guy like Ubaldo it would have simplified us on a few of these bargains.

Outfielder – Adam Jones ($3,600): We are still waiting for Jones to break out with a few of those performances we saw from him early on in the season. In the end his ability to hit the long ball and get hot in streaks makes him a great play at $3,600.

The Major League Baseball action on Saturday is in full swing with a heavy lineup of early games as well as a nice combination starting after 7pm. The one name everyone will be focusing on tonight is Clayton Kershaw as he looks to lead his Los Angeles Dodgers past the Colorado Rockies. That being said we elected to go in a different direction.

While we love taking Kershaw when he takes the mound this game is on the road at Coors Field. Coors field has been historically bad for pitchers to pitch at and even the best starters have had some struggles there in the past. The second reason we elected to skip using Kershaw or another big arm like Madison Bumgarner is to load up at the plate.

This opened up the door for us to use Jason Marquis against the Chicago White Sox in game two of the double header tonight. None of the action from their first contest will be credited so we recommend avoiding those matchups. We suggest also monitoring the rain forecast as well as the lineups as tonights contest approach.

Here is our complete FanDuel MLB lineup for May 9^th.

P – Jason Marquis ($6,100): While Marquis might not be the big starter name like Kershaw or Bumgarner he has done well in each of his last three starts. In that stretch Marquis posted three straight double digit fantasy performances.

C – Carlos Ruiz ($2,200): We could have spent a little heavier at the catcher position but we like Ruiz against the New YorK Mets based on his past success against Jon Niese. In his career Ruiz has 10 hits including a home run and four walks against the Mets starter.

First Base – Adrian Gonzalez ($5,300): As we avoided Kershaw based on playing at Coors Field we elected to go with Gonzalez tonight for that same reason. Gonzalez has is hitting .349 in 43 career plate appearance against Jorde De La Rosa with three home runs and 11 runs driven in.

Second Base – Daniel Murphy ($2,800): Playing the track records and past success has worked well opening up Murphy for us at second base. The Mets second baseman has six career extra base hits off of Aaron Harang in 23 career at bats.

Third Base – Kris Bryant ($3,600): Some fantasy owners are trying to avoid using Bryant but that won’t stop us. We know he has the power potential and once he gets one they could come in a hurry so we are jumping on board tonight.

Short Stop – Chris Owings ($3,000): We considered using Troy Tulowitzki who has three career home runs against Clayton Kershaw. In the end Owings has been hot of late picking up four hits in his last three games with two doubles, one home run and three runs batted in.

Outfielder – Giancarlo Stanton ($4,800): No one really needs to stats to use Stanton but tonight he has a great matchup based on past success against Bumgarner. The Miami Marlins outfielder has six career extra base hits off of the Giants starter in just 13 at bats while batting .615 in his career.

Outfielder – Jason Heyward ($3,200): Sticking with the numbers landed us with the St. Louis Cardinals outfielder against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Heyward has six career hits including a home run against Vance Worley in 14 career at bats.

Outfielder – Alexander Guerrero ($3,800): The Los Angeles Dodgers have a ton of talent including Guerrero and Joc Pederson. While we like Pederson as well tonight we needed a paying in the $4,000 range and we loved this game to build from based on it being played at Coors Field. Other outfield options we considered was Ryan Braun and Andre Ethier.
