The back to school Monday has arrived but for us its just another great Monday to cash in on some FanDuel. Tonight’s lineup of contest is sure to deliver some great action on the diamond as well as for our MLB FanDuel Lineups.

One of those contests we really like tonight features the Los Angeles Dodgers traveling to Colorado to take on the Rockies at Coors Field. Now we could easily go with 2-5 players from this contest alone with stars like Adrian Gonzalez, Nolan Arenado, Yasmani Grandal as some of those big names.

Along with the Rockies/Dodgers contest at Coors Field the other contests that stand out based on stadium features the Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers, the Minnesota Twins at Cleveland Indians and the St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers. Each of these stadiums have been historically hitter friendly ball parks which should provide us some fireworks tonight.

Here is the rest of the MLB options we like tonight on FanDuel to build our MLB lineup around.

MLB FanDuel Advice – Monday August 29^th, 2016

Starting Pitcher

Tanner Roark, Washington Nationals: Despite his recent two game struggle for fantasy owners, Roark is still a very favorable option tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies. Entering tonight the Phillies rank 29^th in runs, 23^rd in home runs and 11^th in strikeouts in all of MLB. Add that with the fact Roark has allowed just two runs to the Phillies in 21 innings of work this season makes him a great option.

Other Starter Options we like are Jake Arrieta and Jose Fernandez

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Dillon Gee

Catcher 

Gary Sanchez, New York Yankees: It didn’t take long for the Yankees rookie to become the top fantasy option behind the plate. Since being called up on August 3^rd, Sanchez has posted 13 double digit fantasy performances while picking up 11 home runs over that stretch.

Other Catcher Options we like include Salvador Perez and Matt Wieters

First Baseman 

Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers: Typically we don’t need a reason to use Miguel Cabrera on most nights. That isn’t the case tonight as Cabrera is a top fantasy option going up against a struggling James Shields. In his career, Cabrera is hitting .381 in 63 career at bats with 13 of those hits going for extra base hits (3 home runs).

Other First Base Options we like include Adrian Gonzalez and Brandon Moss.

Second Baseman 

Ian Kinsler, Detroit Tigers: I love riding Stacks when we see a great fantasy matchup and that is the case against the James Sheilds. While Kinsler hasn’t picked up as many hits as Cabrera off the White Sox starter he does however have four career home runs.

Other Second Base Options we like Jose Altuve and Nick Franklin.

Third Baseman

Nolan Arenado, Colorado Rockies: There might not be a hotter hitter in the Majors entering tonight than the Rockies third baseman. Entering tonight, Arenado has posted five games with at least 18.4 fantasy points over his last seven games with one of those other contests finishing with 12 total. Tonight the Rockies will be at home at Coors Field so we suggest stacking your lineup with them.

Other Third Base Options we like include Adrian Beltre and Manny Machado.

Short Stop

Troy Tulowitzki, Baltimore Orioles: Tulo stands out tonight as a top fantasy option at short stop based on his success against Wade Miley, In 19 career at bats the Blue Jays short stop has seven hits with three of those going for extra base hits. Add that with the fact that Miley has given up 10 earned runs in just 6.2 innings of work at Camden Yards makes Tulo and the Blue Jays a great option.

Other Short Stop Options we like include Corey Seager and Erick Aybar (Fantasy Sleeper).

Outfielder

Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado Rockies: Now that the Rockies return home to Coors Field we are going to be back on the Cargo train during this stretch. The Rockies outfielder continues to hit well at Coors Field posting at .353 batting average at hme over 224 at bats with 20 doubles and 17 home runs.

J.D. Martinez, Detroit Tigers: Finishing off the third leg of what looks to be a great stack lands us with the Tigers outfielder. Martinez has been hot over the past ten games picking up six multi hit games in that stretch. Tonight he will look to continue that success against Shields who he has nine career hits off with four extra base hits.

Tyler Naquin, Cleveland Indians: Now we totally understand that not every player can be a top tier option. That lands us with Naquin who will give us some salary cap flexibility while also giving us a chance at some solid fantasy production at home (Progressive Field ranks 5^th in Home Runs and 2^nd in Runs according to MLB Park Factors).

Other Outfielder Options we like include Joc Pederson, Keon Broxton, Carlos Gomez, Mark Trumbo and Khris Davis.

The big story of the 2016 MLB Season has been the play of outfielder Mookie Betts. The same can be said for the daily fantasy world as the Boston Red Sox young start continues to deliver night in and night out for his fantasy owners.

That includes his most recent game yesterday as Betts connected on his five multi home run performance of the 2016 season. This comes just a few days after Betts blasted three home runs for his fantasy owners. Along with that Betts has delivered double digit fantasy performances in five of his last ten contests with four of those games going over the 20 point mark.

Meanwhile on the mound a name that stands out tonight is Yu Darvish as he will look to lead his Texas Rangers to a win over the Oakland A’s. Overall Darvish has turned in at least 30 fantasy points in all nine of his starts this season including posting back to back games with 41 and 45.

Here is the rest of the MLB options we like tonight on FanDuel to build our MLB lineup around.

MLB FanDuel Advice – Wednesday August 17^th, 2016

Starting Pitchers

Yu Darvish, Texas Rangers: The Rangers ace has the ability to post bigger fantasy numbers than he continues to post but we will take 35-45 points any night of the week from our starter. Only downside to Darvish tonight is the high $10,200 salary he carries along with him.

Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians: We considered a few of the other top fantasy options as we went down the list. In the end we landed with the Indians starter who has posted games of 39 and 48 over his last two outings. In a start back on June 19^th, Carrasco went 7.1 innings while striking out six Chicago White Sox hitters in route to a 34 point night. Look for him to continue that success against the same White Sox team tonight.

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Kyle Gibson

Catcher

Welington Castillo, Arizona Diamondbacks: We like the potential tonight for the Diamondbacks catcher against Jon Niese who he has two career home runs off of. Along with that Castillo has been swinging a solid bat of late posting three games of at least 12.5 fantasy points in his last four starts.

Other Catcher Options we like include Robinson Chirinos and Tucker Barnhart.

First Baseman

Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds: The Reds first baseman continues to hit picking up hits in each of his last eight games. Over that stretch, Votto has posted double digit fantasy numbers in six of those eight contests.

Other First Base Options we like include Paul Goldschmidt, Freddi Freeman and Chris Johnson.

Second Baseman

Jonathan Schoop, Baltimore Orioles: While many fantasy owners may look to stay away from the Orioles lineup tonight with David Price on the mound, we suggest sticking with them as they have hit top tier starters well this season. In his career, Schoop does have one career home run off of the Red Sox lefty.

Other Second Base Options we like include  Jean Segura, Neil Walker (Monitor Injury Status) and Chase Utley.

Third Baseman

Manny Machado, Baltimore Orioles: We like our chances tonight with the Orioles lineup in a game we expect to see some runs. Now for Machado he has picked up seven career hits off of Price with two of those hits going for home runs.

Other Third Base Options we like include Jose Ramirez and Jake Lamb.

Short Stop

Javier Baez, Chicago Cubs: Looking for a cheaper option at one of the infielder positions landed us with Baez. The Cubs shortstop despite struggling at times this season has shown his ability to post big time fantasy numbers including coming off a 25.2 performance last night.

Other Short Stop Options we like include J.J. Hardy and Zack Cozart.

Outfielder

Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox: There is no way right now that we would pass up on the Red Sox outfielder. Entering Wednesday Night, Betts has five multi home run performances on the season including two in the past four days. Add that with the fact he is hitting .426 against the Orioles this season with eight home runs makes it an even easier choice for us.

Michael Bourn, Arizona Diamondbacks: For us Bourn makes perfect sense for any lineup especially one that needs to save some salary cap numbers. The Diamondbacks outfielder has posted double digit fantasy numbers in six of his last eight games including three games with at least 21 points.

J.D. Martinez, Detroit Tigers: Since returning from the disabled list back on August 3^rd, Martinez has picked up at least one hit in 12 of the 13 games he has played in. To go with those hits, the Tigers outfielder has also picked up five doubles, three home runs, six runs driven in and scored nine times.

Other Outfielder Options we like include Joc Pederson, Christian Yelich, Yasmany Tomas, Tyler Naquin and Jason Heyward.

The 2016 MLB season continues to deliver us some exciting but surprising baseball night in and night out. Last night we were on the bad end of the apple as we liked the matchup of Matt Moore against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the end that cost us while a pitcher who many expected to struggle Ian Kennedy posted one of his better starts of the season.

In the end all we can do is turn our attention to tonight’s lineup of games and turn all of our focus on building the best team possible tonight. That being said we are sticking with building our daily FanDuel lineup around the starting pitcher slot as we have a nice solid slate to build from.

Tonight we are turning our attention to a few of the contests that are taking place at a few of the stadiums that rank near the bottom for runs according to MLB Park Factors on ESPN. One of those games features the St. Louis Cardinals at the Houston Astros where Dallas Keuchel will take the mound versus Jaime Garcia.

The other other contests we like from a pitching perspective features the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres at the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers against the Chicago Cubs. All four of those stadiums rank in the bottom six of all of baseball.

Here is the rest of the MLB options we like tonight on FanDuel to build our MLB lineup around.

MLB FanDuel Advice – Tuesday August 16^th, 2016

Starting Pitchers

Jaime Garcia, St. Louis Cardinals: We could easily go with Keuchel tonight to but we will ride the hot arm of Garcia. The Cardinals starter has turned in to solid outings for his fantasy owners posting 42 points in his last outing and 69 in the outing prior to that one.

Kenta Maeda, Los Angeles Dodgers: Entering tonight Citzens Bank Ball Park ranked 28^th in all of baseball in runs according to MLB Park Factors. Add in the fact that the Dodgers starter has posted 30, 38, 28 and 32 fantasy points over his last four starts gives us a very reliable option on the mound.

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Edwin Jackson

Catcher 

Salvador Perez, Kansas City Royals: The Royals catcher will be a favorite tonight for many fantasy owners as he gets to face off against Justin Verlander. In his career, Perez is 23 for 49 with ten extra base hits to go with 14 runs batted in.

Other Catcher Options we like include Sandy Leon, Nick Hundley and Wellington Castillo/Tuffy Gosewisch.

First Baseman

Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox: The White Sox first baseman has been hot of late picking up at least one hit in nine of his last ten games including six multi-hit performances. Tonight he will look to stay hot against Corey Kluber who he has hit well in his career picking up 12 this in 31 at bats including three home runs.

Other First Base Options we like include Freddi Freeman, Chris Davis and Paul Goldschmidt.

Second Baseman 

Neil Walker, New York Mets: We could have gone a few directions here but we like Walker tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Entering tonight, Walker has turned in at least 12.2 fantasy points in six of his last ten performances add that to the fact he will be hitting in a hitter friendly ball park makes him a great option at second base.

Other Second Base Options we like include Dustin Pedroia, Starling Castro, Daniel Murphy and Joe Panik.

Third Baseman

Anthony Rendon, Washington Nationals: After failing to produce last night at Coors Field we have elected to ride with him again tonight. Along with Rendon the other solid option is Nolan Arenado who is also due as we have seen him produce for his fantasy owners at Coors Field this entire season.

Other Third Base Options we like include Nolan Arenado, Manny Machado and Martin Prado.

Short Stop

Troy Tulowitzki, Toronto Blue Jays: We are riding with the Blue Jays short stop tonight while we also like Carlos Correa if you elect to go against Garcia on the mound. For us Tulo has a huge power upside while only costing $3,100 at the position.

Other Short Stop Options we like include J.J. Hardy, Marcus Semien, Carlos Correa and Chris Owings.

Outfielder 

Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals: For us the best stadium to build from most nights is Coors Field.  That was the case yesterday and Harper produced picking up 24.5 fantasy points for us. Tonight we are looking to ride him again after he has posted games of 18.9 and 24.5 fantasy points over his last two games.

Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates: We like the Pirates outfielder tonight as he has posted a career .382 batting average against Jeff Samardzija including five extra base hits. The Pirates outfielder has slowly started to come around posting three double digit fantasy games over his last four contests.

Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox: It is going to be hard for us to pass up on Betts tonight despite his high salary. The Red Sox outfielder has torched the Orioles this season picking up 18 hits in 43 at bats. Of those 18 at bats, Betts has three doubles and six home runs while driving in 12 runs.

Other Outfielder Options we like include Carlos Gonzalez, Jay Bruce, Jurickson Profar, Hyun Soo Kim, J.D. Martinez and Nick Markakis (Fantasy Sleeper).
