The daily fantasy action tonight on FanDuel will revolve around a solid list of top tier fantasy starters. At the top of that list sits Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers as he will take the mound at home against the New York Mets on Thursday May 12^th, 2016.

When you look at Kershaw he has been brilliant as always this season for his fantasy owners turning in at least 33 fantasy points in seven straight games. That run includes fantasy performances of 33, 36, 45, 51, 57, 60 and 81 on the year. At home the Dodgers ace has turned in performances of at least 51 fantasy points in three of his four starts.

Now along with Kershaw the other top tier names on the mound tonight include Zack Greinke, Johnny Cueto, Dallas Keuchel, David Price and Adam Wainwright. While not all of these stars have lived up to their past success they all have the talent to turn in a big game at any giving time this season.

While these top tier starters can carry the load on the mound we will also need some bats top round out our lineup. This includes considering a few MLB Fantasy Stacks that can help carry the load. Yesterdays big stack consisted of Adam Jones, Mark Trumbo and Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles in the early slate. The three combined to go 10 for 15 with four home runs and nine runs batted in to rack up 125.9 fantasy points.

Here are a few MLB Fantasy Stacks we like tonight:

Adam Jones/Manny Machado/Jonathan Schoop (Schoop & Jones are bargains)

Victor Martinez/Justin Upton/Miguel Cabrera (31 for 97 with 7 home runs)

Yadier Molina/Brandon Moss/Matt Carpenter (averaged 46.7 per game over last 3)

That being said here is our MLB FanDuel Lineup for Thursday May 12^th, 2016.

SP – Clayton Kershaw ($12,500): We just can’t pass up on the top fantasy starter of the night at home in a pitcher friendly ball park. If your looking for a deep fantasy sleeper consider going with Aaron Blair against the Philadelphia Phillies and a mid tier option of Jimmy Nelson.

C – Christian Bethancourt ($2,200): Before slotting the San Diego Padres catcher in your lineup we suggest monitoring the lineups as he typically doesn’t get to play everyday. That being said he has been red hot picking up home runs in the last two games while posting at least 21 fantasy points in three of his last five games. If he doesn’t see the field tonight consider going with Victor Martinez or Matt Wieters if you don’t go with the Baltimore Orioles stack.

1B – Freddie Freeman ($3,000): The Atlanta Braves first baseman is finally starting to swing a hot bat. Entering tonight, Freeman has hit home runs in three of his last four games while posting at least 21 fantasy points in those three contests.

2B – Jonathan Schoop ($2,200): The Baltimore Orioles return home to the hitter friendly Camden Yards tonight. Schoop had provided his fantasy owners with at least six fantasy points in seven of his last eight home games.

3B – Manny Machado ($4,300): We could have easily built our entire team around the power hitting Baltimoer Orioles lineup. In the end, Machado is riding a five game hitting streak with three multi hit gams over that time frame making him a great fantasy option at home tonight.

SS – Nick Ahmed ($2,100): Ahmed is just what a lineup built around a top tier expensive starter needed. The Arizona Diamondbacks short stop has posted back to back 15.7 fantasy performances giving us a nice FanDuel Bargain tonight.

OF – Adam Jones ($2,600): The time is now to capitalize on Jones before his price tag continues to go up. The Orioles outfielder had many wondering if he might be hurt but after hitting two long home runs in Minnesota should put those talks to bed.

OF – J.D. Martinez ($3,300): Tonight Martinez and the Detroit Tigers get to face off against the Orioles with Ubaldo Jimenez on the mound. Now this is a gamble play as Jimenez is a pitcher who could put together a brilliant starter but he has shown his ability to give up the long ball as well.

OF – Carlos Beltran ($2,800): The New York Yankees veteran has been hot of late for his fantasy owners picking up three home runs over his last three games while posting double digit fantasy performances in four of his last five games. If you go cheap on the mound you could consider going with Ryan Braun or Mike Trout.

The workweek won’t slow us down as we all look to cash in on some Major League Baseball action tonight on FanDuel. Now that being said we won’t have the same luxury full schedule as we did yesterday but we do have a nice nine game slate to build from as the rest of the action gets underway early on Wednesday.

Now as we start to look at tonight’s slate of games we will continue to build around the starting pitching slot. As we start to look at the options on the mound tonight we could look at a few options at the top of the list as well as a few fantasy sleepers that could reward us with a big time payday.

At the top of the list tonight the list includes Noah Syndergaard, Jordan Zimmerman, John Lackey, Max Scherzer and Kenta Maeda. Looking a little deeper at each of these options have crossed of Syndergaard (failed to reach 30 fantasy points in back to back starts) and Zimmerman (difficult matchup against a very good Washington Nationals lineup).

That leaves us a few options we do like including John Lackey who is coming off an impressive 60 point fantasy outing in his last start against a very good Nationals team. Tonight he will get a shot at a much lesser San Diego Padres squad tonight. The other two options are solid as well as we expect Scherzer to bounce back tonight while Maeda has turned in at least 30 fantasy points in all but on start this season.

The last of the fantasy options we like tonight on the mound comes in the form of a fantasy sleeper. That option is Philadelphia Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff as he gets to face off an Atlanta Braves team that continues to rank near the bottom of the game in nearly every offensive category. Over the last four games the starters opposing the Braves have turned in fantasy performances of 48, 36, 27 and 42 points.

In the end here is our MLB FanDuel lineup for Wednesday May 11^th, 2016.

SP – Jerad Eickhoff ($6,900): We are looking at Eickhoff as a dark horse tonight against the same struggling Braves team that his teammate took advantage of last night. Now if you are looking to play in cash leagues you might want to play it safe with Lackey or Maeda tonight as they are much safer fantasy plays.

C – Jarrod Saltalamacchia ($2,500): The Detroit Tigers catcher is a solid fantasy play tonight but we suggest monitoring to see if he will be in the lineup as he was limited to just one at bat over the past two games. On a positive not he has hit Scherzer well going six for 15 with three extra base hits including a home run.

1B – Billy Butler ($2,000): The deep fantasy sleeper of the night for us is the Oakland A’s first baseman. Butler is 19 for 52 off of Ricky Porcello with six extra base hits and ten runs driven in.

2B – Brandon Phillips ($2,800): Now we tossed around both Phillips and Daniel Murphy to start tonight at second base. We ended up going with the cheaper of the two options but if you like Murphy you will just need to go with a cheaper option at either third base or one of the outfield slots to free up the salary cap space. That being said Phillips is five for 11 off of Juan Nicasio with a home run and three runs batted in.

3B – Kris Bryant ($4,600): Since we rolled with a few solid fantasy sleeper options it freed up the salary to spend heavy at third base and the outfield slots. That allowed us to go with Bryant who has been red hot posting at least 16 fantasy points in three straight games. One cheaper fantasy option we like tonight at third base is Travis Shaw for the Boston Red Sox.

SS – Alcides Escobar ($2,600): We are sticking with the Kansas City Royals short stop tonight against the New York Yankees. Escobar has turned in at least six fantasy points in seven of his last ten games including the previous two games against the Yankees. Another option we like tonight is Aledmys Diaz for the St. Louis Cardinals who has turne din at least six fantasy points in five straight games including three games with at least 12.

OF – Andrew McCutchen ($4,200): McCutchen continues to be a solid fantasy option night in and night out for his fantasy owners. That includes posting 12 fantasy points in three straight games and four of his last five.

OF – Mike Trout ($4,800): How can we not stack the outfield slots with the best players in the game. That landed us with Trout tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals while we also considered Bryce Harper in this slot.

OF – Giancarlo Stanton ($4,400): You can say Stanton is in a slump after failing to hit a home run in four straight games while failing to post a fantasy point in three straight games. On the flip side, Stanton is one of those players who can break out with a multi home run game any night.

Finally it’s Tuesday and the action is in full force with a 15 game slate taking to the Diamond tonight for MLB FanDuel owners to cash in on. Now while we have all the top options at the plate tonight the big question mark lies on the mound with only a few top tier options mixed with a bunch of options that will either surprise us or cost us.

The top of that list features Jon Lester for the Chicago Cubs, Jacob deGrom for the New York Mets, Masahiro Tanaka for the New York Yankees and Drew Smyly for the Tampa Bay Rays. Of that group, Lester stands out at the top after posting four straight fantasy performances with at least 40 points and five total in his first six starts. The second of those options we like tonight is Smyly who had been red hot firing off four straight games with at least 36 fantasy points before running into his last start.

Now as we suggest building your daily fantasy cash lineups around the options above we strongly suggest considering one of those options that have the potential to surprise us. Two of those options will face off tonight as Matt Wisler will lead his Atlanta Braves against Adam Morgan for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Entering tonight’s contest the Braves sit dead last in the league in team OPS, last in home runs and last in runs scored. Meanwhile the Phillies sit in 29^th in team OPS, 27^th in home runs and 28^th in runs scored. These are both great gamble options tonight along with Kevin Gausman to help deliver a big time payday in tournament style leagues on FanDuel.

Other thing to take into consideration tonight is the potential for bad weather that could play a sudden role in the output of your lineup. That was the case yesterday as we saw the Minnesota Twins/Baltimore Orioles game and the Chicago Cubs/San Diego Padres game both get postponed.

Here are the games that could get postponed or see a delay tonight that could force you to lose your starting pitcher early.

Detroit Tigers @ Washington Nationals: (Zero Percent at start of the game but potential rain increasing up over 50 percent by 10pm).

Philadelphia @ Atlanta Braves: (50 Percent chance of rain from 7pm to 11pm tonight).

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies: (25 Percent chance of rain at 8pm increasing to over 40 percent by 8pm).

San Diego Padres @ Chicago Cubs: (50 Percent chance at 8pm slowly dropping to under 20 percent chance by 10pm).

Pittsburgh Pirates @ Cincinnati Reds: (60 Percent chance at 7pm increasing to nearly 75 percent chance by 10pm).

Chicago White Sox @ Texas Rangers: (Zero Percent chance at 8pm increasing slowly to 25 percent by 10pm).

In the end here is our MLB FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday May 10^th, 2016.

SP – Kevin Gausman ($7,700): We tossed around the idea of Lester as well as both Wisler and Morgan but the rain situations have us worried in each of those starts. Now that doesn’t mean to stay away but we strongly suggest monitoring their weather situation. In the end we went with Gausman who turned in two starts with at least 33 fantasy points in his first three starts of the season.

C – Matt Wieters ($2,200): Wieters is a big time gamble entering tonight’s contest against the Twins. The Baltimore Orioles catcher is hitless in is last seven at bats while failing to pickup at home run or a run batted in over his last ten games. If the weather looks good in Colorado we also like Tony Wolters as a little pricer of an option.

1B – Brandon Moss ($2,900): The first base position was an interesting position for us as we considered a ton of options tonight such as Paul Goldschmidt hitting at Coors Field, Eric Hosmer who has been hot and Albert Pujols who is due to break out. In the end Moss is a very solid bargain play while providing his owners with two big fantasy games over his last four.

2B – Jonathan Schoop ($2,700): The Orioles second baseman continues to swing a hot bat and we can’t pass it up. Schoop is currently riding an eleven game hitting streak including posting multi-hit performances in two of his last four games. Other options we like include Chris Owings for the Diamondbacks depending on the weather as well as Jason Kipnis for the Cleveland Indians.

3B – Todd Frazier ($3,900): Since this lineup is coming out early we passed on Nolan Arenado at Coors Field landing us with Frazier. The Chicago White Sox third baseman has been red hot picking up six hits over his last three games with three hoe runs and nine runs batted in.

SS – Alcides Escobar ($2,600): We tossed around a few names tonight at short stop including Didi Gregorius for the New York Yankees and Aledmys Diaz for the St. Louis Cardinals. In the end we like Escobar tonight hitting in the friendly hitters ball park in New York.

OF – Mike Trout ($4,800): We love Trout tonight but we could also have gone with a combination of Giancarlo Stanton and Bryce Harper as well. In the end Trout has posted four games with at least 10 fantasy points over his last ten games.

OF – Mookie Betts ($4,000): Now we like a few of the outfielders in the Rockies/Diamondbacks game at Coors Field tonight but the rain has us staying away from them. If you like strongly consider going with Carlos Gonzalez instead of Betts at this spot.

OF – Dexter Fowler ($4,200): Continue to monitor the weather situation but we couldn’t pass up on Fowler tonight. The Cubs outfielder has posted back to back 21 plus fantasy performances over his last two games.

The weekend is just a day away but that won’t slow down the action on FanDuel tonight. A day after a full slate of games taking place starting with a heavy afternoon lineup we are graced with another solid slate of games getting underway at 7:05pm ET.

Yesterday was an interesting day with all the rain that was in the forecast for the East Coast. Add in a vintage performance on the mound for CC Sabathia and it made for a difficult fantasy day for us. Entering his start yesterday Sabathia had been up and down failing to make it to the fifth in during two of his previous four starts while only posting over 30 points in one of those contests.

Join FanDuel’s $5K MLB Stolen Base Contest Today!

Along with that struggles the New York Yankees starter had struggled against the Baltimore Orioles over the past three previous seasons. Over those three seasons, Sabathia pitched to a 2-3 reccord in eight starts with a 4.59 earned run average against the Orioles. Those struggles were even a little deeper as all three of those losses came at Camden Yards while pitching to a 5.23 earned run average.

Now for us we just have to shake our heads and move on today’s lineup of contests to capitalize on. The downside to tonight’s lineup of games is the lack of top tier fantasy starters to build from. The top of that list is Jacob deGrom who has turned in two 40 plus fantasy performances over his last three starts.

On the downside deGrom carries a heavy price tag of $10,800 limiting the total options we would have to build our entire lineup around. In the end here is our MLB FanDuel lineup for Thursday May 5^th, 2016.

SP – Adam Conley ($6,800): We strongly considered going with the New York Mets hurler but couldn’t pass up the fantasy value that comes with Conley. While Conley is a gamble he has been solid for fantasy owners in three of his four starts posting at least 32 fantasy points in each of those outings.

C – Jonathan Lucroy ($3,300): Despite failing to post any fantasy points in his last outing the Milwauke Brewers catcher is a great fantasy option tonight. Lucroy is six for 10 in his career with two home runs off of Alfredo Simon.

1B – Edwin Encarnacion ($3,400): Looking at the numbers the Toronto Blue Jays first baseman is a solid option tonight at home. Encarnacion is hitting .333 off of Derek Holland in his career with two home runs. A sleeper option we like tonight is Marwin Gonzalez for the Houston Astros tonight.

2B – Chris Owings ($2,100): Now we could have easily gone with a very expensive option at second base but we couldn’t pass up Owings. Owings has turned in at least six fantasy points in four of his last five games while posting double figures five of his last ten games.

3B – Kyle Seager ($3,600): This pick came down with going with Josh Donaldson for the Blue Jays and Seager for the Mariners. In the end we saved a few bucks with Seager as he will be hitting in a hitter friendly ball park in Houston.

SS – Carlos Correa ($4,100): Correa is the hot hand posting at least six fantasy points in seven of his last ten games while posting double digits in four of those. Those numbers were to hard to pass up on tonight.

OF – Ichiro Suzuki ($2,300): When we elected to go with Suzuki we could have only imagined the type of daily fantasy games he would have put up during his prime. In the end, Suzuki has put up at least 9.2 fantasy points in three of his last four games.

OF – Bryce Harper ($4,500): After a little struggle it is time for Harper to get back on track for his fantasy owners after hitting his first home run in nine games yesterday. As we have seen from him in the past is when he gets hot he gets hot in bunches.

OF – Giancarlo Stanton ($4,800): How can we not go with Stanton tonight as the main weapon to our lineup? The Marlins outfielder has hit at least one home run in six of his last ten games while posting double digit numbers in seven of those contests.

The MLB schedule is in full force on Wednesday for FanDuel owners to cash in on. That being said we got around to this article a little late today to get you a lineup to cash in on the seven game slate of games that get underway early on Wednesday May 4^th, 2016. That being said that leaves us with solid seven game lineup that gets underway this evening.

Now as we start to look at the slate the first place we have elected to start building from was the starting pitching slot. For us this wasn’t an easy option with only three fantasy starters averaging more than 30 points a game taking the mound. Those options include Drew Smyly for the Tampa Bay Rays, Jose Fernandez for the Miami Marlins and Aaron Sanchez.

For us though the one option we like tonight is the Houston Astros starter Mike Fiers. After his rough start, Fiers has been brilliant over his last three starts for fantasy owners posting at least 30 fantasy points in each of those contests. Tonight he will look to continue that success against the Minnesota Twins.

Entering tonight the Twins rank 25^th in team runs batted in, 20^th in team ops and 18^th in team batting average. All of these numbers point to Fiers putting together another solid fantasy start tonight for his daily fantasy owners. The next big question is who do we surround him with tonight to take home the cash.

SP – Mike Fiers ($7,900): Fiers is an interesting case tonight based on his matchup tonight against the Twins. Now looking for a fantasy sleeper option one that we like tonight is Tyler Wilson for the Baltimore Orioles against a struggling New York Yankees team.

C – J.T. Realmuto ($2,900): Looking for hot players who could help contribute to our lineup tonight we landed on the Miami Marlins catcher. Realmuto has been red hot of late posting at least 12 fantasy points in four straight games while picking up at least two hits in three of those games.

1B – Justin Smoak ($2,200): Smoak might be the biggest gamble of all the options tonight but we like his upside. The Toronto Blue Jays first baseman is coming off hitting his first two home runs of the season last night add that to the fact he is seven for 16 off of Colby Lewis in his career makes him a great Fantasy Sleeper Option tonight.

2B – Jonathan Schoop ($2,400): Were sticking with the Baltimore Orioles second baseman tonight. After his slow start, Schoop has been showing some signs of life picking up hits in six straight games. Now its just a matter of time before his power starts to return to his swing.

3B – Manny Machado ($4,200): The Orioles trend continues with us as we expect them to put up some runs tonight against C.C. Sabathia. We also considered going with the other top option in Josh Donaldson as well.

SS – Carlos Correa ($4,100): Since we stacked a few fantasy sleeper at a few of the other positions it allowed us to go with a few of the top fantasy options as well. One of those options is Correa who will benefit from hitting in a hitter friendly ballpark.

OF – Giancarlo Stanton ($4,900): Stanton is a must start option tonight for any fantasy lineup. The Marlins outfielder has been red hot of late picking up five home runs over his last ten games while posting six games of over 12 fantasy points.

OF – George Springer ($3,600): The Astros outfielder is riding back to back games with a home run making him a great option tonight. Springer enters this game with four doubles, six home runs and 14 runs driven in on the year.

OF –Adam Jones ($2,700): The Orioles outfielder has struggled to get off to the same hot start we have seen from a few of his teammates. That being said he has picked up two multi hit games over his past five games. Jones has a very favorable matchup tonight against CC Sabathia who he has four career home runs off in 62 career at bats.

The big guns look to lead daily fantasy owners tonight headlined by Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs. Now Arrieta isn’t the only top option on the mound on Tuesday Night as the list includes Sonny Gray for the Oakland A’s, Matt Harvey for the New York Mets and Jeff Samardzija for the San Francisco Giants.

Now before we get to the rest of the top starters on Tuesday Night we have elected to take a look at Arrieta. Entering this game, Arrieta has been dominate on the mound for his fantasy owners this year especially on FanDuel as he has turned in at least 42 points in all five of his starters including three contests of at least 51 points. Along with his success this season, Arrieta has been brilliant in his career against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In his previous nine starts against the Pirates the Cubs starter has gone 6-1 over that stretch with a 1.68 earned run and 51 strikeouts in 59 innings. Those numbers include going 3-0 with a 2.25 earned run average on the road at PNC Park.

While we are sold on building our lineup around the Cubs ace we also like a few of the other starters on the mound. One of the other options we like is Matt Harvey who is slowly rebounding after a slow start. Harvey has posted at least 36 fantasy points in back to back games including 36 points against the same Atlanta Braves team he will be facing off tonight against.

The other starter we like tonight is Jose Quintana of the Chicago White Sox against the Boston Red Sox. The White Sox Starter has posted at least 30 fantasy points in all five starts this season. Meanwhile Quintana has been solid against the Red Sox in his career holding them to a .217 batting average over 69 career at bats.

Here is our MLB FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday May 3^rd, 2016.

SP – Jake Arrieta ($12,100): It is just to hard to pass up on Arrieta tonight despite the fact he will be going up against a very good Pittsburgh Pirates lineup. On the Fantasy Sleeper side we also strongly considered Eddie Butler who costs only $5,700 and will make his first start of the season. Butler who was called up last week posted four strikeouts in 2.1 innings for the Colorado Rockies out of relief.

C – Bryan Holaday ($2,000): Looking for a fantasy sleeper to free up some additional savings landed us with the Texas Rangers. While we suggest monitoring the daily lineups when they come out we expect Holaday to be in the lineup tonight making him a great fantasy play hitting at the Rogers Centre. Other catchers we considered including Austin Romine for the New York Yankees and Derek Norris for the San Diego Padres.

1B – Chris Carter ($3,300): We also considered Chris Davis as a top tier option before landing with the Brewers first baseman. Carter is an interesting case based on his high lower batting average but his upside is the fact he has four games with at least 15 fantasy points over his last nine games including a 50.1 performance just a few nights ago.

2B – Jonathan Schoop ($2,400): Entering the season Schoop was our breakout fantasy option of the season. After a slow start, Schoop is starting to heat up picking up hits in five straight games including a home run while scoring three runs and riving in three runs.

3B – Alex Rodriguez ($3,500): The New York Yankees third baseman enters the team’s next series with the Baltimore Orioles red hot. Rodriguez has picked up home runs in three straight games while driving in seven runs over his last five games posting over 18.7 fantasy points in three of those games.

SS – Andrelton Simmons ($2,300): Looking at MLB games taking place in some of the better hitter ballparks landed us with Simmons. Despite going 0 for his last 8, the Los Angeles hitters will get another shot at Miller Park tonight. Entering tonight, Miller Park ranks first in all of baseball in homeruns per game.

OF – Hunter Pence ($3,700): Now we considered going with Giancarlo Stanton based on his recent host streak but the downside is that we would have needed to go with two fantasy sleepers in the outfield. That led us to Pence who has posted at least 15 fantasy pints in four of the last five games and seven over the last ten games.

OF – Michael Saunders ($3,400): After a hot streak last week, Saunders has cooled down a little but we like him tonight at home at the Rogers Centre. Another option in the $3,400 price range includes George Springer and Josh Reddick.

OF – Ryan Rua ($2,300): Rua is an interesting situation as he seems to either deliver a solid performance or lays just a zero. That being said the Texas Rangers outfielder has picked up hits in back to back games including a home run while posting 9.2 and 18.7 fantasy points in those two games.
