The fantasy action stays hot on FanDuel on Saturday as we look to cash in during the night cap. The downside to the action Saturday is only 18 Major League Baseball teams are in action with nine games taking place. Along with the limited action, the lack of top tier starting pitching options are limited as well.

This looks like a complete opposite from the star studded lineup of starters taking the hill on Friday Night. For us when we take a quick look at the list of top options not one of the starters on the hill look like a dead lock for us. Top option, Jeff Samardzija is coming off of his worst outing of the season.

In that outing, the Chicago White Sox starter failed to make it through five innings and finished with a negative fantasy total on FanDuel. That being said, Samardzija has seven double digit fantasy totals over his past ten games. Another top option is Tyson Ross for the San Diego Padres against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ross has three straight games with double digit fantasy points and six total over his last ten games.

While we continue to find that one fantasy starter to slot in on the mound, the list of fantasy studs in the field include Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout.

Here is our MLB FanDuel lineup for Saturday August 8^th, 2015.

Starting Pitcher – Jeremy Guthrie ($5,400): While we might seem a little crazy going with the Kansas City Royals starter. That being said on a night with no real ace taking the mound Guthrie has a favorable matchup against a White Sox team that is one of three teams in baseball that hasn’t topped the 400 runs mark on the season.

Option 2 – Tyson Ross ($8,900) & Ervin Santana ($7,500)

Catcher – Welington Castillo ($3,500): Since we went with a below average salary starter we had the cash to spend on nearly every other position. Castillo has six home runs over hist last ten games to go with eight runs batted in.

Option 2 – Matt Wieters ($2,500) & Victor Martinez ($2,900)

First Base – Paul Goldschmidt ($4,000): After an MVP first half, Goldschmidt hasn’t lived up to that level in the second half. Goldschmidt, however has had a few solid fantasy games over his last ten including two games with over 9.5 fantasy points.

Option 2 – Chris Davis ($4,600) & Joey Votto ($3,800)

Second Base – Kolten Wong ($2,800): We have a few options at second base including Wong as well as Jonathan Schoop. Wong has four games with at least 3.5 fantasy over his last ten.

Option 2 – Jonathan Schoop ($2,400) & Ben Zobrist ($3,700)

Third Base – Matt Carpenter ($3,600): Carpenter is an easy play on Saturday Night against Wily Peralta. Carpenter is 12 for 27 in his career against the Milwaukee Brewers starter with three extra base hits including a home run.

Option 2 – Nolan Arenado ($4,000) & Yangervis Solarte ($3,000)

Short Stop – Jhonny Peralta ($2,900): We love to build fantasy lineups around a few specific ball parks including Miller Park. Peralta has been a solid fantasy option all season long but has struggled of late. In the end we like him at short stop on Saturday Night.

Option 2 – Ian Desmond ($3,000) & Xander Bogaerts ($3,400)

Outfielder – Torri Hunter ($2,700): Hunter is another great option on Saturday Night based on his past success against Trevor Bauer. The Minnesota Twins outfielder is six for 12 in his career off of the Cleveland Indians outfielder with two home runs.

Outfielder – Mike Trout ($4,700): Since we went extra cheap at the starting pitching position we elected to go with two of the best players in baseball. One of those players is the Angels outfielder who has four home runs and 11 runs batted in over his last ten games.

Outfielder – Bryce Harper ($4,400): The other guy we are talking about is the Washington Nationals outfielder. We are looking for both of these All-Stars to put together big fantasy games on Saturday.

Option 4 – Adam Jones ($3,000), Ryan Braun ($4,300) & Adam Eaton ($4,100)

The weekend has arrived as we all get ready to cash in on some FanDuel with a full lineup of games over the weekend. For us we have decided to take this just one day at a time and focus on the 14 game lineup that will be taken the field around Major League Baseball on Friday night.

A lineup of games that delivers one of the best nights of starting pitching options that we can remember in a very long time. Starting with the Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw who hasn’t allowed a single run over his last four games. In those four games, Kershaw finished with 26, 26, 24 and 19 fantasy points. Overall he has yielded at least 15 fantasy points in seven of his last ten starts while picking up 13 fantasy points in each of the other three games.

While all eyes will be on Kershaw for the Dodgers so will many of the fantasy lineups that are submitted. We love Kershaw Friday night but are a little worried that so will many of the other fantasy owners plus he does warrant a salary of $13,400 over $2,300 more than the next starter on the list.

The top tier fantasy starter options don’t stop there as we also have a nice selection of guys around the league to build from on Friday night. That list includes Jacob deGrom for the New York Mets, Jose Fernandez for the Miami Marlins, Dallas Keuchel for the Houston Astros, Gerrit Cole for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cole Hamels for the Texas Rangers and Sonny Gray for the Oakland A’s. We could have went on but we elected to stop there for now.

For us another idea is to go cheaper with a guy like Kevin Gausman who is coming off back to back double digit fantasy performances. This would give us a ton of extra cash to spread around to our fantasy lineup. In the end monitor the weather for each and every game as well as the MLB lineups when they start to hit.

Here is our FanDuel lineup for Friday 7^th, 2015.

Starting Pitcher – Jacob deGrom ($11,100): While we do love the idea of using Kershaw tomorrow night we just don’t like the idea of him being used upwards of 40% in some fantasy leagues on FanDuel. The New York Mets starter has four straight starts with double digit fantasy numbers.

Option 2- Clayton Kershaw ($13,400) & Option 3 – Kevin Gausman ($6,300)

Catcher – Yadier Molina ($2,200): When we build our fantasy lineups around an expensive starting pitcher we tend to look for a cheap option at catcher. Molina has had a disappointing season at the plate but that won’t stop us from using him.

Option 2 – Chris Stewart ($2,200) & Option 3 – Russell Martin ($3,100)

First Base – Chris Davis ($4,600): We elected to go with one of the hottest players in the game and that is Chris Davis for the Baltimore Orioles. Davis has six home runs and 19 runs driven in over his last ten games with five games with at least 6.75 fantasy points.

Option 2 – Adam LaRoche ($2,200) & Option 3 – Paul Goldschmdit ($4,000)

Second Base – Scooter Gennett ($2,300): The Milwuakee Brewers second baseman entered Thursday riding a four game hitting streak. Add in the fact he is seven for 19 off of Lance Lynn with two extra base hits makes him a great FanDuel bargain option.

Option 2 – Brian Dozier ($3,300) & Option 3 – Jonathan Schoop ($2,400)

Third Base – Adrian Beltre ($3,600): The Texas Rangers star has been hot of late picking up his third career cycle. Now he gets a chance to face off against Hisashi Iwakuma on Friday Night whom he is 11 for 30 against with three home runs.

Option 2 – Josh Donaldson ($5,300) & Option 3 – Todd Frazier ($3,300)

Short Stop – Jean Segura ($2,300): We needed another cheap option to free up some salary cap space after spending on a few players on the lineup. That landed us the Brewers short stop who is 10 for 26 against Lynn with two extra base hits.

Option 2 – Troy Tulowitzki ($4,500) & Option 3 – Nick Ahmed ($2,400)

Outfielder – Jayson Werth ($2,300): Werth is putting together a disappointing 2015 campaign including injuries. That won’t stop us from using him on Friday based on his past success against Jorge De La Rosa. Werth is four for 12 lifetime against him with one home run landing him on our FanDuel Bargain list.

Outfielder – Brandon Moss ($2,400): Much like Werth, Moss has hit home runs this year but his average continue sto struggle. That being said we love his value at $2,400 on Friday Night landing him a spot on our FanDuel lineup.

Outfielder – Adam Eaton ($4,100): The Chicago White Sox outfielder has been red hot for the team and his fantasy owners. Eaton has eight games with at least 4.5 fantasy points over his last ten games. That stretch includes four doubles, one triple, one home run, four runs driven in and 12 runs scored.

Option 4 – Bryce Harper ($4,300), Adam Jones ($3,000) & Jose Bautista ($4,900)

The fantasy action continues to be red hot on FanDuel as the 2015 Major League Baseball season continues through the dog days of Summer. This is the same this Hump Day as we all look to cash in on some daily fantasy baseball action on FanDuel on August 5^th, 2015.

For us the starting point to our lineup on Wednesday was Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Despite lacking the power bat of late, Gonzalez is still one of the top fantasy options at first base. That is still true on Wednesday, as he will face off against Aaron Harang of the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Dodgers first baseman is batting .435 for his career off of Harang with 10 hits in 23 at bats. Those 10 hits include five extra base hits including three home runs to go along with eight runs batted in. Gonzalez has picked up hits over his last ten games but has no home runs over that course.

After Gonzalez, we turned our attention to starting pitching including Carlos Martinez for the St. Louis Cardinals, Madison Bumgarner for the San Francisco Giants and fantasy sleeper David Phelps for the Miami Marlins. Other top options include Matt Harvey, Gio Gonzalez and Dan Haren.

Here is our FanDuel Lineup for August 5^th, 2015.

Starting Pitcher – Carlos Martinez ($9,900): We tossed and turned on whether not to use Madison Bumgarner or Carlos Martinez. We ended up going with Martinez to save us $1,500 in salary. Martinez will be facing off against a Cincinnati Reds team that is hitting just .177 off of him with on three extra base hits in 62 at bats.

Option 2 – Madison Bumgarner ($11,400) & David Phelps ($5,900):

Catcher – Derek Norris ($2,700): The San Diego Padres catcher is currently riding a four game hitting streak. In that stretch, Norris has nine hits including one double, one home run and six runs batted in.

Option 2 – Buster Posey ($4,800) & Jonathan Lucroy ($2,700)

First Base – Adrian Gonzalez ($3,300): Gonzalez was a simple play for us based on his current cheap salary as well as his past success against Aaron Harang. Another option we like on Wednesday Night is Anthony Rizzo for the Chicago Cubs with four career extra base hits against Jeff Locke.

Option 2 – Anthony Rizzo ($4,100) & Kendrys Morales ($2,900)

Second Base – Kolten Wong ($3,000) – The St. Louis Cardinals second baseman is putting together a big season in 2015. Through his first 102 games, Wong has 20 doubles, two triples and 11 home runs to go with 44 runs batted in. Add in the fact he is batting at Great American Ball Park makes him an excellent play on Wednesday.

Option 2 – Scooter Gennett ($2,300) & Howie Kendrick ($3,100)

Third Base – Chris Johnson ($2,600): We suggest only using Johnson if you elect to stay away from Bumgarner. Johnson is eight for 21 in his career against the San Francisco Giants starter with three extra base hits.

Option 2 – Luis Valbeuna ($3,100) & Yangervis Solarte ($3,200)

Short Stop – Brandon Crawford ($3,500): We love to ride players on a hot streak or coming off a big time fantasy performance. That is the case with Crawford who picked up two home runs and finished with 12.25 fantasy points on Monday Night.

Option 2 – Troy Tulowitzki ($4,500) & Didi Gregorius ($2,900)

Outfielder – Jonny Gomes ($2,200): Gomes is one of our Fantasy Bargains for the night giving you some salary cap relief. We always suggest monitoring the lineup to ensure he will be in the lineup. Gomes is seven for 10 for his career off of Bumgarner with two home runs and four runs driven in.

Outfielder – Josh Hamilton ($2,800): Sticking with players with solid track records against starters they are facing on Wednesday landed us with Hamilton. The Rangers outfielder is seven for 19 off of Scott Kazmir with two home runs and six runs driven in.

Outfielder – Jose Bautista ($4,700): While we aren’t in love with using Bautista we do love his power potential at home. That being said if you are looking to spend more expensive at one of the other positions feel free to use one of our other cheaper options here.

Option 4 – Shin-Soo Choo ($3,600), Option 5 – Norichika Aoki ($2,600) & Option 6 – Matt Kemp ($3,300)
