One last minute scratch last we saw last night with Dallas Keuchel left many Daily Fantasy Baseball owners scrambling to rework their rosters on average night on the MLB Schedule. The same here as we expected to load up our FanDuel entries with Kuechel as our main option while also turning to Buck Farmer as more of a high risk high reward type option. Hopefully for you most of you turned that direction as starting pitching was a concern on Wednesday Night.

That is now in the past as we turn all of our attention over to tonight’s slate of games and which Daily Fantasy Baseball options stand out as the best options tonight. Just remember to continue to follow the daily lineups throughout the day all the way up to game time to ensure the options are in play tonight while avoiding a locked roster with a scratch on your team.

Now before we get to our top Daily Fantasy Baseball Options from tonight’s MLB Schedule of games here is a quick look at a few of the stacks we like for Thursday June 8^th, 2017.

3 MLB Stacks We Like For Thursday June 8^th, 2017

Jose Altuve / Carlos Correa: Despite some solid success at times, Jason Hammel is a starter who hitters can take an advantage on. Luckily for us tonight those hitting options will come from a Houston Astros team that is loaded from the top to the bottom. While we stuck with just these two we could also throw Alex Bregman in to offset each of their higher fantasy salaries.

J.T. Realmuto / Christian Yelich: When you look at the numbers these two Miami Marlins options stand out based on their success against Gerrit Cole over their careers. Entering tonight the two are 16 for 25 off of the Pittsburgh Pirates starter with four home runs and six runs batted in.

Here is our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Thursday June 8^th, 2017

Starting Pitcher – Jake Odorizzi

Despite having starters like Lance McCullers, Jon Lester and David Price all as options tonight we elected to shy away from those higher priced options. This opened up the door for the Tampa Bay Rays starter against a Chicago White Sox team that has their troubles on offense. For the evening slate tonight, the White Sox rank last in team wOBA and near the bottom of the pact in team ISOpower while ranking fourth in strikeout percentage.

Top Tier Option: Lance McCullers Jr

Mid Tier Option: Derek Holland

Fantasy Sleeper: Ben Lively

Catcher – J.T. Realmuto

Tonight we debated a few options behind the plate including both J.T. Realmuto and Matt Wieters. In the end we turned to the Marlins catcher based on the fact he has some solid production against Cole in his career picking up nine hits in 11 total at bats.

Top Tier Option: N/A

Mid Tier Option: Matt Wieters

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Elias Diaz

First Base – John Jason

After spending on the rest of the infield we elected to go with one of our two options we like under the $3k mark tonight. That option is John Jason who has limited production off of Edinson Volquez in his career (3 for 10). That being said two of those three hits went for extra base hits including a home run. The other option we like tonight is Chris Carter as a high risk high reward option while seeing limited usage against David Price.

Top Tier Option: Ryan Zimmerman & Chris Davis

Mid Tier Options: Tommy Joseph

Fantasy Sleeper: Chris Carter

Second Base – Jose Altuve

The top of the options at second base all sound like solid options and players you could build around including both Daniel Murphy and Jonathan Schoop. In the end Altuve is one of those players who could put up a four hit game nearly any night of the week against any starter. Entering tonight, the Astros second baseman has hits in three straight games while picking up multi hit performances in five of the last ten.

Top Tier Option: Daniel Murphy & Jonathan Schoop

Mid Tier Option: Cesar Hernandez

Fantasy Sleeper: Daniel Robertson

Third Base – Evan Longoria

Now if we could make the numbers work tonight we would shy away from Longoria while going with either Kris Bryant or Nolan Arenado as the ball should be flying well at Wrigley Field tonight. In the end the salary cap number just doesn’t fit in without going with a lower tier option at either second base, short stop or one of the three outfield slots. This turned us to Longoria who is nine for 28 off of Derek Holland in his career with three of those hits going for home runs.

Top Tier Option: Kris Bryant & Nolan Arenado

Mid Tier Option: Josh Harrison

Fantasy Sleeper: Ehire Adrianza

Short Stop – Carlos Correa

When we looked around at the starting pitching options and saw that Hammel has been consistenly bad following a strong performance it opened us up to stacking the Astros tonight. With that said it is hard to build around the Astros without putting Correa in the lineup on most nights based on the fact he might be the most productive option at the position in the game right now. Entering tonight, Correa has six double digit fantasy performances over his last 11 games.

Top Tier Option: N/A

Mid Tier Option: Tim Anderson

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Freddy Galvis

Outfielders – Christian Yelich, Steven Souza & Seth Smith

While it might not look like we would all want it to look tonight our group of outfielders all have an upside tonight. At the top is Yelich who is seven for 14 in his career off of Cole with one home runs. Meanwhile Souza and Smith should both benefit from their matchups against starters that rank first and second among starters tonight in hard contact percentage opening up the chance for some extra base hits and run producing options. On other option is you could look to Hyun Soo Kim as a deep sleeper if he is in the lineup freeing up cap space to go with Corey Dickerson, Mookie Betts or George Springer.

Top Tier Option: Bryce Harper & Mookie Betts

Mid Tier Option: Aaron Altherr or Odubel Herrera

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Hyun Soo Kim & Rickie Weeks

The fireworks were in full force for Daily Fantasy Baseball owners on Tuesday Night as the 2017 MLB Schedule delivered some excitement. Most of that excitement took place at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati where the Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett delivered a 98.8 performance on FanDuel on a four home run historical performance.

Now as we move on to Wednesday Night the big question is who will step up with some big time production tonight. Will it be Dallas Keuchel who will be looking for win number 10 tonight against the Kansas City Royals or will it be Paul Goldschmidt who has some solid numbers against Luis Perdomo in his career.

Before we take a look at our top Daily Fantasy Baseball Options we like from tonight’s MLB Schedule of games here is a quick look at a few of our top stacks for Wednesday June 7^th, 2017.

3 MLB Stacks We Like For Wednesday June 7th, 2017

Paul Goldschmidt / Jake Lamb: The Arizona Diamondbacks tandem will look to continue their success against Perdomo and the San Diego Padres tonight. The two enter tonight with 11 career hits of the Padres starter with six total extra base hits with three of them going for home runs.

Jason Castro / Brian Dozier / Joe Mauer: For these three Minnesota Twins hitters tonight is a chance to add some numbers to their offense statitics against Yovani Gallardo and the Seattle Mariners. The Twins trio enters tonight with 20 career hits off of Gallardo in just 49 at bats.

Another option we really like tonight is Chris Davis and Seth Smith of the Baltimore Orioles.

Here is our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Wednesday June 7th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Dallas Keuchel

In the end we just can’t pass up on the Houston Astros starter tonight as he looks to keep the Kansas City Royals lineup in check. With that said we still value him more as a cash lineup option but we won’t shy away from him with the solid MLB Schedule we have tonight. On the year Keuchel has just two starts under 30 fantasy points to start the season while turning over 40 in eight of ten contests.

Top Tier Option: Zack Greinke

Mid Tier Option: Wade Miley

Fantasy Sleeper: Buck Farmer

Catcher – Elias Diaz

For the catcher position is an interesting slot as we really like Jason Castro as well as Yadier Molina. In the end the 2017 MLB Schedule’s patch led us to Diaz as a low cost but high reward type of option tonight at one of the more hitter friendly ball parks in all of baseball. Entering tonight the Pittsburgh Pirates catcher has four hits over his last eight total at bats.

Top Tier Option: N/A

Mid Tier Option: Jason Castro & Yadier Molina

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Miguel Montero

First Base – Paul Goldschmidt

Now as far as which direction we wanted to go at first base we could have easily gone with a midtier opton like Joe Mauer as well. For us the idea of stacking both Goldschmdit and Jake Lamb at home against a starter they have had success against in their careers against Perdomo. The Diamondbacks first baseman enters tonight with seven career hits in just 13 at bats against the Padres starter with two of those hits going for home runs.

Top Tier Option: Joey Vooto

Mid Tier Options: Eric Thames

Fantasy Sleeper: C.J. Cron

Second Base – Scooter Gennett

While we don’t expect to see the production like we did yesterday from Gennett but we do like him tonight hitting at Great American Ball Park much like we did on Monday Night. The Reds second baseman is riding back to back double digit fantasy performances leaving daily fantasy baseball owners something to look forward too. Other options we like are Cesar Hernadez who has hits in six straight games as well as Brian Dozier who has had some success against Yovani Gallardo.

Top Tier Option: Jose Altuve & Brian Dozier

Mid Tier Option: Jonathan Villar

Fantasy Sleeper: Scooter Gennett

Third Base – Jake Lamb

The numbers don’t typically lie and that should be the case with us leaning towards Lamb tonight. Lamb enters tonight with 14 home runs on the season while hitting eight of them at home at Chase Field. Along with those numbers the Diamondbacks third baseman has racked against right handed pitching this season hitting .331 with 12 home runs in 160 at bats on the season.

Top Tier Option: Manny Machado

Mid Tier Option: Alex Bregman

Fantasy Sleeper: Luis Valbuena

Short Stop – Jose Iglesias

Of the group of Daily Fantasy Baseball options tonight this pick may have been the most difficult of the selections. Despite having Carlos Correa as our top option at short stop tonight we just couldn’t figure out a way to factor his salary cap number in without taking another key piece out of our lineup. The Detroit Tigers third baseman enters tonight hitting .462 over his last seven games with four runs batted in.

Top Tier Option: Carlos Correa

Mid Tier Option: Eric Sogard

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Nick Ahmed

Outfielders – Michael Conforto, Hyun Soo Kim & Keon Broxton

The last of our daily fantasy baseball options will anchor down the outfield in tonight’s slate of contests. Now for us our top options that would fit into the $4k mark were Betts and Michael Conforto. While both of these stars are very talented we gave the slight advantage to Conforto who ranks near the top of Major League Baseball in ISO power. Meanwhile Kim is a deep sleeper who might not get the start tonight making a replacement very viable. Despite seeing very little playing time the Baltimore Orioles outfielder has hits in five of his last six total games. The last of our options is Broxton who has a huge upside of a player who could turn in a 30 plus fantasy performance.

Top Tier Option: Giancarlo Stanton

Mid Tier Option: Seth Smith & Kevin Kiermaier

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Ichiro Suzuki

The 2017 MLB Schedule thins down tonight with only a seven game slate on tap for Daily Fantasy Baseball owners to capitalize on. The thin slate will make it a little more difficult to build around but the options are still their tonight with some solid value both on the mound and at the plate.

For us tonight’s lineup will simply come down to finding that correct pitcher to build around. Overall with only one player costing over the $8k mark we expect to see a ton of usage on Carlos Martinez making him a great Cash play but one we recommend staying away from in GPP formats. This opens up the door for a few lower cost options.

One of those options is Junior Guerra who will be looking to capitalize against a San Francisco Giants team that has struggled on offense for most of the season. Meanwhile someone like Mike Fiers despite the high home run totals could be another solid option against another low power offense like the Kansas City Royals. With that said here is a quick look at three MLB Stacks we like tonight on FanDuel.

3 MLB Stacks We Like For Monday June 5^th, 2017

Carlos Beltran / Brian McCann / Carlos Correa: When you look at this stack we could have added a fourth member from the Houston Astros lineup tonight against Ian Kennedy. The Royals starter enters this game allowing at least four runs in fourth straight games while allowing six home runs over that same stretch. Add that with the fact Beltran and McCann each have two career home runs makes this a solid stack.

Zack Cozart / Scotter Gennett: While this combination might be facing the top starter of the night they do have some success against him. Entering tonight the Cincinati Reds teammates are 13 for 42 against Martinez with two home runs and eight runs driven in.

Cesar Hernandez / Cameron Rupp: Hernanez and Rupp enter tonight with 16 hits over their first 48 at bats against Bartolo Colon. Add that success with the fact that Colon has been inconsistent for most of the 2017 MLB Season opens up the door for these two options.

Here are our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Monday June 5th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Junior Guerra

For us Guerra is a pure GPP option while we strongly suggest riding Carlos Martinez in Cash lineups. While Guerra has a small sample size of production this season he has shown his ability to strike out batters helping him to post 29 and 40 fantasy points over his last two starts. Along with that he should benefit from pitching against a San Francisco Giants team that ranks 28^th in runs, 30^th in home runs and 29^th in team batting average.

Top Tier Option: Carlos Martinez (Cash Option)

Mid Tier Option: Mike Fiers

Fantasy Sleeper: Nick Pivetta

Catcher – Cameron Rupp

For us we could have gone two directions tonight at the catcher position including going with Brian McCann. In the end we valued the additional salary cap space we gain from going with Rupp to bolster our outfield depth. Rupp enters tonight picking up five hits over 12 career at bats against Bartolo Colon.

Top Tier Option:  Salvador Perez

Mid Tier Option: Brian McCann

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Stephen Vogt

First Base –Matt Adams

In the end we just couldn’t pass up Adams who enters tonight’s contest red hot at the plate. The Atlanta Braves first baseman has hits in four of his last five games including back to back two hit performances while picking up three home runs over those two contests. Other options we considered included Marwin Gonzalez, Eric Thames and Adrian Gonzalez.

Top Tier Option: Marwin Gonzalez

Mid Tier Options: Eric Thames

Fantasy Sleeper: Adrian Gonzalez

Second Base – Cesar Hernandez

We continued to play the numbers with our play of Hernandez tonight at second base. The Phillies second baseman has had some production against Colon in his career picking up nine hits over 26 career at bats. Hernandez also enters tonight’s contest with hits in five of his last six games including two multi hit performances over the way.

Top Tier Option: Jose Altuve

Mid Tier Option: Jonathan Villar & Ian Happ

Fantasy Sleeper: Jed Lowrie

Third Base – Jedd Gyorko

The money is there to spend as high or low as you want at the third base slot with a solid list of options to build around. While we looked at Travis Shaw and even Kris Bryant we opted to go with the Gyorko tonight as he gets the advantage of hitting in one of the top offensive ball parks in all of baseball. Meanwhile the step down frees up additional space to use on a player like Khris Davis or Marcell Ozuna.

Top Tier Option: Travis Shaw & Kris Bryant

Mid Tier Option: Alex Bregman & Maikel Franco

Fantasy Sleeper: Paul DeJong

Short Stop – Carlos Correa

After budget spending at a few of the other key positions it opened the cash to go with Correa as one of our Daily Fantasy Baseball options of the night. The Astros short stop enters tonight riding a ten game hitting streak while picking up at least two hits in seven of those contets. Correa has also homered in four of his last six games total while pushing his season total to 11.

Top Tier Option:

Mid Tier Option: Andrelton Simmons

Fantasy Sleeper Option: J.J. Hardy

 

Outfielders – Khris Davis, Carlos Beltran & Kyle Schwarber

When we started to build our lineup the first outfielder we selected based on his career production against Ian Kennedy. Beltran enters tonight with four total extra base hits including two home runs in 24 career at bats against the Royals starter. Meanwhile Davis and Schwarber both offer the high reward type option we like in our GPP lineups. Meanwhile we could turn to a few other players as well including someone like Giancarlo Stanton.

Top Tier Option: Giancarlo Stanton

Mid Tier Option: Chris Taylor & Ender Inciarte

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Alex Gordon/Jorge Soler

The MLB Daily Fantasy Baseball action takes center stage as the dog days of summer slowly approaches. That action continues on Tuesday May 30^th, 2017 as the MLB Schedule delivers a heavy slate with a 14 games taking to the diamond featuring some big time fantasy options.

One of those options that will be extremely difficult to pass up on will take the mound against his former team. That option is Chris Sale who will be making his first start of his career against the Chicago White Sox who elected to move the five time All-Star this to the Boston Red Sox this offseason.

Tonight, Sale will have his first shot at showing his former team what they are missing every fifth day on the mound. Luckily for his Daily Fantasy Baseball owners Sale has not missed a beat to start the 2017 MLB Season. Through his first 10 starts of the season, Sale has picked up at least 40 fantasy points in each of those starts while posting double digit strikeout totals in eight of those.

Now before we get to our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options we like tonight, here are a few of the games you will want to pay close attention to as weather may play a factor.

New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles (50% Chance)

Los Angeles Dodgers @ St. Louis Cardinals (30% at Game Time)

Detroit Tigers @ Kansas City Royals (50% at Game Time)

Boston Red Sox @ Chicago White Sox (25-40% Chance Most Of The Night)

Here is our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Tuesday May 30^th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Chris Sale

For us this might be the simplest starting pitcher option we have gone with all season and one that we will ride in both cash and GPP Formats. Now that being said we will be paying close attention to the weather forecast in Chicago to make sure this game will not only get started but will avoid any potential rain delays early that could limit the innings worked by Sale. As for the move, Sale has not disappointed in each of his first ten starts this season while posting over 40 fantasy points in each start. Add that to the fact the White Sox rank in the top half of Major League Baseball in strikeouts should help increase his fantasy numbers.

Top Tier Option: Robbie Ray

Mid Tier Option: Eddie Butler

Fantasy Sleeper:  Nick Martinez

Catcher – Jason Castro

When we looked at the list of options behind the plate we took a look at the pitching matchups for all 14 contests tonight. One contest that stood out not only from finding the right catcher but for other positions was the Houston Astros/Minnesota Twins contest. Tonight we love the idea of riding at least two if not Twins against Mike Fiers who ranks second in the MLB with 18 home runs allowed on the year. These numbers opened up the door for us to go with Castro to save a few bucks over someone like Salvador Perez who we also have high on our list tonight.

Top Tier Option:  Buster Posey

Mid Tier Option: Salvador Perez

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jett Bandy

First Base – Matt Adams

For us the First Base option tonight will strictly revolve around the option you elect to go with on the mound. For us since we like Sale as our top  option we looked for an option to provide us some salary cap space and that landed us with Adams. The Atlanta Braves first baseman should continue to see time in the lineup with Freddi Freeman out and has the upside we like in our GPP lineups. Meanwhile if you elect to go cheaper with someone like Eddie Butler or even with a fantasy sleeper you we like Joey Votto as our top tier option of the night.

Top Tier Option: Joey Votto

Mid Tier Options: Joe Mauer & Danny Valencia

Fantasy Sleeper: John Hicks

Second Base – Brandon Drury

Now we have a few directions we could go tonight at second base including going with a mid tier option like Neil Walker or Ian Happ if we elected to go with a cheaper option at third base. In the end we Drury brings to much to the table each night in GPP tournaments despite costing just $2,500. The Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman has hits in five of his last six contests while posting double digit numbers in two of those.

Top Tier Option: Robinson Cano or Brian Dozier

Mid Tier Option: Neil Walker or Ian Happ

Fantasy Sleeper: Joe Panik

Third Base – Nolan Arenado

In the end we valued two of the top options at third base tonight with Arenado as well as Kyle Seager. Both of these options will take the field tonight at Coors Field, which brings up their fantasy value. In the end we just can’t look past Arenado who has put up big time numbers at Coors Field in his career. Over the past three seasons, the Colorado Rockies third baseman is hitting .311 with 61 home runs at Coors Field. Other options we considered tonight at third base include Miguel Sano who would free up additional salary cap space to beef up the outfield as well as either Joey Gallo or Evan Longoria.

Top Tier Option: Kyle Seager

Mid Tier Option: Joey Gallo & Evan Longoria

Fantasy Sleeper: T.J. Rivera

Short Stop – Eduardo Escobar

The Twins short stop brings value to the position tonight against a starting pitcher that has struggled for most of the season. Along with the struggle to keep the ball in the ball park, Fiers has had his hands away from Houston as he has allowed 17 of his 27 earned runs with most of that damage coming on the long ball. While we like a few of the more expensive options a little higher we couldn’t pas up on Escobar who does have power (4 home runs) but also has the ability to put the ball in play.

Top Tier Option: Jean Segura

Mid Tier Option: Trevor Story

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jose Iglesias

Outfielders – Eddie Rosario, Scott Schebler & Curtis Granderson

While this might not be the outfield platoon we imagined off building this roster it is one that has a high upside in GPP tournaments. For us Rosario is one of those options we simply can’t pass up on based on his matchup against Fiers. Along with that matchup the Twins outfielder has also hit in four straight games while going six for 15 over that stretch. Meanwhile Schebler gets the nod if he starts based on his the fact he has a very manageable salary cap number despite having 14 home runs and ranking 10^th in all of Major League Baseball in ISO Power. The last of our options lands with Granderson as we just didn’t have the cash to land his teammate Michael Conforto. For us this play simply comes down to the fact he will have a shot to put the ball in play against Zach Davies tonight who has .318 average of balls hit in play on the season.

Top Tier Option: Michael Conforto

Mid Tier Option: Yasmany Tomas & Carlos Gonzalez

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Joey Rickard & Brian Goodwin

The MLB Schedule continues to deliver excitement daily from walkoff hits to dramatic late inning comebacks. That excitement was on full force on Tuesday Night including a 13 inning affair in Detroit that saw the two teams hit six home runs while scoring a combined 24 runs. Meanwhile in Miami, Dallas Keuchel threw another key fantasy performance for his daily fantasy baseball owners.

Now all that action is a distant memory as we get set for another action packed night of daily fantasy baseball as the 2017 MLB Schedule delivers an eleven game slate. The big question tonight is which direction should we turn to on the mound after watching Jimmy Nelson fire out a solid six innings for us on Tuesday Night.

One direction we could turn to is Ervin Santana as he looks to pick up his seventh win of the 2017 MLB Season. The Minnesota Twins starter has been good this season picking up at least 34 fantasy points in all but one start. On Wednesday Night he should have a chance to extend those numbers against a Colorado Rockies team that is hitting just .243 against him in 70 career at bats.

Meanwhile at the plate we have a solid list of options as well as a few key stacks to consider including riding the big three of both the Baltimore Orioles and the Detroit Tigers. Here are three stacks you will want to consider when building your daily fantasy baseball lineup tonight.

Manny Machado – Chris Davis – Mark Trumbo

Ian Kinsler – Miguel Cabrera – JD Martinez

Antony Rizzo – Kris Bryant – Javier Baez

Here is our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Wednesday May 17^th, 2017

Starting Pitcher – Matt Garza

In the end we like the matchup for Garza a little more than we like the matchup that Santana will have to face. In the end we will be looking to build around both guys tonight with a variety of lineups depending on the rest of our roster moves. Garza enters Wednesdays night contest riding three straight 34 plus fantasy performances over his first four starts of the season. Now that success will look to continue against a San Diego Padres team that ranks near the bottom in nearly every category while ranking fourth in all of baseball with 359 strikeouts. Meanwhile a fantasy gamble that maybe worth looking into is using Jimenez despite the matchup as he has shown up big when the odds were against him.

Top Tier Option: Ervin Santana

Mid Tier Option: Miguel Gonzalez

Fantasy Sleeper:  Ubaldo Jimenez

Catcher – Jonathan Lucroy

On a night with limited top tier talent at the catcher position we elected to save a few bucks while going with a player that has a ton of GPP upside. That option is Lucroy who will be hitting at a very hitter friendly ball park in Texas while also coming off his fourth multi hit performances over his last five contests. Meanwhile guys like Welington Castillo and Miguel Montero are also solid options as well behind the plate.

Top Tier Option: N/A

Mid Tier Option: Welington Castillo

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Miguel Montero

First Base – Joey Votto

For us the first base position is one of those slots on Wednesday that you just can’t afford to miss on. In the end we loved the idea of riding the red hot Chris Davis who has four home runs over his last three games but just couldn’t pass up Votto at Wrigley Field. With the weather forecast expecting to have wind this would be a great night to ride with Votto or even Anthony Rizzo as we expect to see some runs scored as the two teams face off at Wrigley Field.

Top Tier Option: Anthony Rizzo

Mid Tier Options: Chris Davis & Yonder Alonso

Fantasy Sleeper: Luis Valbuena

Second Base – Ian Happ

The game of baseball is filled with hot streaks making the idea of riding Happ tonight a solid option. The Cubs second baseman/outfielder is coming off an impressive three game stretch to start his career that featured his first two home runs of his career while picking up four runs batted in. Add that with the fact the wind should be blowing out makes the Cubs/Reds matchup one of those contest that should see some home runs hit. Meanwhile the other strong candidate we would build around is Ian Kinsler against a struggling Ubaldo Jimenez.

Top Tier Option: Ian Kinsler

Mid Tier Option: Rougned Odor

Fantasy Sleeper: Jed Lowrie

Third Base – Todd Frazier

Overall the third base position is a solid one to build from on Wednesday Night including going with Kris Bryant or Manny Machado as top tier plays. In the end we like Frazier tonight as he should see a chance to put one out of the ball park against Matt Shoemaker. The Los Angeles Angels starter enters his start on Wednesday Night having allowed nine home runs over his first eight starts including three of those games going for more than one.

Top Tier Option: Kris Bryant & Manny Machado

Mid Tier Option: Joey Gallo

Fantasy Sleeper: Josh Rutledge

Short Stop – Dansby Swanson

After starting off the 2017 MLB Season on the slow front the Atlanta Braves middle infielder has started to swing the bat of late. Entering Wednesday Night, Swanson had hit in eight straight games including back to back multi hit performances against the Toronto Blue Jays. That type of productiona long with his high upside in GPP formats and his low salary cap number under the $3k mark makes Swanson one of our locks of the night in our lineups.

Top Tier Option: Trea Turner

Mid Tier Option: Zack Cozart

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jose Iglesias

Outfielders – Mike Trout, Aaron Judge & Magneuris Sierra

How can you not slot Trout into your lineups on Wednesday Night? The Angels outfielder has been red hot with home runs in four straight games while topping the 21 fantasy point mark in each of those games. Add that success with the fact he has three career home runs off of Miguel Gonzalez and he is nearly a lock in at least 60 percent of our teams. Rounding out the outfielder slots is Judge who has cooled off a big but still continues to reel in double digit fantasy numbers. Meanwhile on the sleeper side of the table we like the GPP upside Sierra brings to table as long as he is in the lineup.

Top Tier Option: Mookie Betts

Mid Tier Option: Domingo Santana & Brett Gardner

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jose Osuna

The daily fantasy baseball action bounces back tonight with an exciting 13 game slate taking to the diamond this evening. For tonight’s slate the big question mark is whether or not to go with one of the top tier starters such as Dallas Keuchel or to turn to a mid tier option to open up some additional salary cap space.

Now for us tonight we love Keuchel as our top tier option for Cash Lineups as he delivered over 34 fantasy points in all but one start this season. As for our GPP lineups the Houston Astros starter has upside to also reward us with a big time fantasy performance.

With that said our only doubt for Keuchel tonight might be the extra usage he will see against a mediocre Miami Marlins offense. The Marlins enter tonight ranked 20^th in MLB in runs scored, 20^th in team OPS and 18^th in team on base percentage. All three of those numbers makes for Keuchel to be a solid option for us on the mound.

Looking a little deeper though we have found a few mid to lower tier options among the MLB Schedule for tonight that offer a higher reward for their cost but with more of a risk. Two of those options we like tonight are Jimmy Nelson for the Milwaukee Brewers and Matt Boyd for the Detroit Tigers.

As for at the plate the options are endless with a variety of top tier options as well as lower tier options to build around. In the end it will really depend on which direction you go on the hill tonight.

Here is our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Tuesday May 16^th, 2017

Starting Pitcher – Jimmy Nelson

While yesterday’s gamble didn’t pay off we are still not going to shy away from going with the high risk high reward option in our GPP lineups. For us one of those options is Nelson who has shown at points this season with three 40 plus fantasy performances he can produce. As we looked at the matchups we looked at both Nelson and Clayton Richard from this matchup as both the Brewers and San Diego Padres rank near the top of the league in strikeouts.

Top Tier Option: Dallas Keuchel (Safe play in most lineups)

Mid Tier Option: John Lackey

Fantasy Sleeper: Clayton Richard & Matt Boyd

Catcher – Miguel Montero

For us we had two options at the top of our FanDuel lineup board tonight at the catcher position. One of those hitters is Montero and the other is the red hot Buster Posey. Much like on the mound we could go either way depending on which positions you elect to spend heavy on or save money with. In the end Montero and the Chicago Cubs will be at home tonight against a struggling Bronson Arroyo who has been hit solid all season. Add that with the fact that Montero is eight for 19 off of him with three home runs makes him a safe play tonight as well.

Top Tier Option: Buster Posey

Mid Tier Option: Jonathan Lucroy

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Chris Hermann

First Base – Albert Pujols

The potential future Hall Of Famer doesn’t look like his normal self at the plate this season but we have seen this from him in the past. In the end Pujols still has a solid upside for GPP lineups especially when he carries a salary south of the $3k mark. For Pujols tonight he should have a chance to get back on track against Derek Holland and the Chicago White Sox. Pujols enters tonight’s contest hitting .294 off of the White Sox lefty with four career home runs. On the higher side of we could go with Anthony Rizzo or Paul Goldschmidt who both look to have friendly hitter environments tonight.

Top Tier Option: Paul Goldschmidt & Anthony Rizzo

Mid Tier Options: Marwin Gonzalez

Fantasy Sleeper: Lucas Duda & Tommy Joseph

Second Base – Brandon Drury

Now for us we love tonight’s Reds/Cubs matchup as well as the Mets/Diamondbacks matchup from a stack perspective. With that being said we won’t look past Drury again tonight as we liked him last night as well hitting at Chase Field. The Diamondbacks second baseman has hits in five of his last six games including two home runs over that stretch. On the higher side we love Daniel Murphy tonight for the Washington Nationals while someone like Javier Baez should benefit from the wind and pitching matchup at Wrigley Field tonight.

Top Tier Option: Daniel Murphy

Mid Tier Option: Javier Baez

Fantasy Sleeper: Scooter Gennett

Third Base – Joey Gallo

In the end we built the rest of our lineup before heading back to the third base slot, as we wanted to see what type of salary cap number we might be working with. While we considered going with Kris Bryant as well as Manny Machado before deciding to go with the Texas Rangers power hitting infielder. Gallo should benefit from hitting at home tonight where he has seen most of his production. If you elect to go with a cheaper outfield option you should look to spend on Bryant tonight.

Top Tier Option: Kris Bryant & Manny Machado

Mid Tier Option: Chase Headley

Fantasy Sleeper: Josh Harrison

Short Stop – Elvis Andrus

After playing the matchups yesterday with Crawford today we will turn to a little more expensive of an option at shortstop position. In the end it’s hard to look past the Andrus tonight hitting at one of the typical hitter friendly ballparks. Entering tonight Andrus has been hot picking up five hits over his last eight at bats while producing back to back 20 plus daily fantasy performances. Along with Andrus we could look back to Brandon Crawford tonight or go with someone like Addison Russell.

Top Tier Option: Xander Bogaerts

Mid Tier Option: Addison Russell, Aledmys Diaz & Brandon Crawford

Fantasy Sleeper Option: N/A

Outfielders – Mookie Betts, Bryce Harper & Yasmany Tomas

Now we could easily plug and play a few players into this the outfield slot including Mike Trout for Bryce Harper or Kyle Schwarber for Tomas. In the end after spending cheap above it allowed us to stack our lineup with some big bats. Tomas for us is a hard one to pass up on hitting at Chase Field and despite making us wait last night he did reward us with a home run. Meanwhile Betts enters tonight’s game with six double digit fantasy performances over his last seven games with four of those going for at least 30. Than there is Harper who is playing like the NL MVP from two years ago making him a difficult pick to look past on most nights.

Top Tier Option: Mike Trout

Mid Tier Option: Ian Desmond & Khris Davis

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Magneuris Sierra

Worth The Gamble Option: Jay Bruce

The 2016 MLB Schedule bounces back tonight with a solid nine game slate on tap for Daily Fantasy Baseball owners to build around. The slate includes some solid but interesting options taking to the mound including both Stephen Strasburg and Chris Archer while someone like Yu Darvish looks like a great option for cash game lineups.

Now for us the starting pitcher slot is the key tonight to taking home some cash in both Cash and GPP Tournaments. In all only five of the 18 starters taking the hill tonight are averaging over 35 fantasy points per contest. At the front of our list is Archer who will look to take advantage of a Kansas City Royals team that still struggles to find consistency at the plate.

Meanwhile at the plate one game we really love tonight and expect to see some fireworks is the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers contest at Miller Park. Last night these two teams combined for 25 hits and 18 runs. We expect the same tonight as both teams send starters to the hill that have the ability to give up a ton of runs.

With that said here are a few players we really like tonight to build a solid stack around.

Mookie Betts – Back to Back 30 plus fantasy performances

Keon Broxton – GPP Upside including two 30 plus fantasy points over last five

Travis Shaw – Double Digit potential night in and night out

Josh Rutledge – Cheaper alternative to Shaw to save some salary cap space

Here are four contests we suggest staying clear of or at least ensuring the rain will be light enough to allow a full game to be played.

Washington Nationals @ Philadelphia Phillies

Chicago White Sox @ Baltimore Orioles

Milwaukee Brewers @ Pittsburgh Pirates

Miami Marlins @ New York Mets

Here is a deeper look at our top Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Wednesday May 10^th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Chris Archer

Archer is looking for a big time performance and tonight’s contest with the struggling Kansas City Royals could be that time. The Royals enter this game ranked near the bottom of every major offensive category including runs scored, home runs and team OPS. This opens up the door for Archer to have another 40 plus outing of the season after coming off a 46 point start in his last outing. Another guy to consider is Jason Hammel tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays as they have also struggled at times at the plate and rank near the top in strikeouts.

Top Tier Option: Yu Darvish

Mid Tier Option: Derek Holland

Fantasy Sleeper: Jason Hammel or Tom Koehler

Catcher – Yasmani Grandal

Here we go with another value play at the catcher position as we turn to the Los Angeles Dodgers starter. Grandal has been hot of late riding a four game hitting streak that includes seven hits over 19 at bats including one double, one home run and five runs driven in. Along with Grandal the other solid option tonight is either Omar Narvaez or Geovandy depending who gets the start against Phil Hughes of the Minnesota Twins.

Mid Tier Option: Omar Narvaez (Monitor Lineup Situation)

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Chris Hermann or James McCann

First Base – Chris Davis

Here is the one position you could go all in on with someone like Paul Goldschmidt or take a deep flyer on someone like Chris Davis for a high risk high reward type option. For us we elected to spend freely in the outfield while also going with Archer on the mound so it locks up a ton of our money. This turns us to Davis as he is always a power threat coming to the plate as well as solid option to score runs as he been award a free pass five times over his last five games.

Top Tier Option: Paul Goldschmidt & Jose Abreu

Mid Tier Options: Edwin Encarnacion

Fantasy Sleeper: Brandon Moss

Second Base – Rougned Odor

While the Texas Rangers second baseman has struggled at times this season he still brings a GPP upside night in and night out. This includes when he has a chance to hit against right handed starters which he will have the luxury of doing tonight. On the season, Odor is hitting nearly fifty points higher against righties with all six of his home runs on the season. Meanwhile Jonathan Schoop has played himself back into our options as he has seen his fantasy salary drop back down to the $3k mark.

Top Tier Option: Daniel Murphy

Mid Tier Option: Jonathan Schoop

Fantasy Sleeper: Derek Dietrich

 

Third Base – Josh Rutledge

For us we could have gone a few directions tonight including with someone like Manny Machado or even Travis Shaw. In the end we like the fantasy value Rutledge brings to the plate tonight in a contest that should see a ton of scoring chances after last nights 18 run team outburst. Meanwhile on the other side of the diamond we could have easily gone with Shaw who has back to back double digit fantasy performances and four over his last seven games played.

Top Tier Option: Manny Machado

Mid Tier Option: Travis Shaw & Anthony Rendon

Fantasy Sleeper: Martin Prado

Short Stop – Chris Owings

Much like the Red Sox/ Brewers matchup the Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit Tigers is another matchup that could see a ton of big plays take place. This turned us to Owings who is having another strong season at the plate hitting .307 with five home runs. Much of that power damage has come at home this season where the game will be tonight. Owings is hitting .349 at home this season with four of his five home runs while driving in 18 of his 21 runs.

Top Tier Opton: Xander Bogaerts

Mid Tier Option: Erick Aybar

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Orlando Arcia & Jose Iglesias

Outfielders – Mookie Betts, Yasmany Tomas & Jim Adduci

For us we turned to both of the games we expect to see a ton of scoring in to fill a variety of our needs including the outfield slot. For us we can’t look past Betts who continues to put up some big time numbers while producing for his Daily Fantasy Baseball owners. The Red Sox outfielder is seven for his last ten with three doubles, two home runs to go with five runs driven in. Meanwhile Tomas should benefit from playing at home where he is hitting .316 on the year with 17 of his 21 runs driven in. The last of our outfield options rounds out our roster while fitting us in at the salary cap number and that is with the Detroit Tigers outfielder. Adduci should see another start tonight picking up hits in three of his last four games while socring three runs and driving in three.

Top Tier Option: Bryce Harper & Ryan Braun

Mid Tier Option: Adam Jones, Jayson Werth & Keon Broxton

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Colby Rasmus & Hyun Soo Kim
