The Daily Fantasy Baseball excitement continues on FanDuel tonight with an exciting ten game slate. Tonight’s schedule should feature some exciting MLB starting lineups to build around including a battle of two of the games top young stars at Camden Yards.

Those two stars are the Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper and the Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado. While Harper is still listed as day to day with his injury we still love him as one of our top MLB picks for tonight as we build our FanDuel lineup tonight.

While we love both of them as top tier fantasy baseball options tonight it may be hard to build around them while also landing a top tier starting pitcher option. For us two options we really like tonight is Jacob deGrom who has a solid matchup against a struggling San Francisco Giants offense and Gio Gonzalez who has had a ton of success against the Baltimore Orioles.

Now before we get to our top Daily Fantasy Baseball options we only have one game of concern tonight and it features the Chicago Cubs heading out to take on the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. While the Cubs are coming off an exciting 18 game loss on Sunday and some may look past them the only reason this game is a concern is the high chance of rain in the forecast

With that being said here is a look at the Daily Fantasy Baseball Options we like tonight.

Starting Pitcher – Jacob deGrom

When you look around at the top tier starting pitcher options you could sway your self from nearly every one of them. In the end after looking at the numbers around the league deGrom has a very solid fantasy baseball matchup against a Giants team that has struggled at the plate for most of the season. Entering tonight’s contest the Giants ranked 30^th in home runs (19), 29^th in OPS (.631) and 29^th in runs scored (105). Meanwhile someone like Blake Snell or Nate Karns are sleeper options who could turn in a nice GPP performance.

Top Tier Option: Jacob deGrom

Mid Tier Option: Gio Gonzalez

Fantasy Sleeper: Blake Snell or Nate Karns

Catcher – Stephen Vogt

Vogt is one of those daily fantasy baseball options we expect to be in the starting lineup on most nights and one that can reward us with a big time fantasy performance despite carrying a heavy price tag. Tonight’s slate points to Vogt as he has picked up four hits off of Ricky Nolasco in his career including one of those hits going for a home run. Add that with the fact Nolasco ranks third in all of Major League Baseball with nine homeruns makes Vogt and his teammates a solid fantasy option.

Top Tier Option: Miguel Montero or Wilson Contreras (Monitor Weather)

Mid Tier Option: Matt Wieters

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Travis d’Arnaud

First Base – Edwin Encarnacion

The big question of the night is which first baseman should we slot into the lineup? Should we go with the left on left matchup with Chris Davis who surprised us just a few nights ago or should we go with the red hot Yonder Alonso or Ryan Zimmerman? In the end we can’t pass up on Encarnacion who will be making his return to the Rogers Centre where he has hit very well in his career while also taking on his former Toronto Blue Jays club.

Top Tier Option: Ryan Zimmerman & Anthony Rizzo (Weather)

Mid Tier Options: Yonder Alonso & Ryon Healy

Fantasy Sleeper: Luis Valbuena

Second Base – Jed Lowrie

Riding the Oakland A’s tonight landed us with Lowrie of our MLB FanDuel steal of the night. Lowrie much like Vogt has had some success against Nolasco in his career picking up four hits in 12 career at bats. Add that success with the fact he has three double digit fantasy performances over his last four games makes him a solid option tonight at second base.

Top Tier Option: Javier Baez & Dee Gordon

Mid Tier Option: Jason Kipnis

Fantasy Sleeper: Chad Pinder

Third Base – Manny Machado

While all eyes will be on Kris Bryant and Nolan Arenado out at Coors Field our eyes will be on the Machado/Harper at Camden Yards. Machado enters this game riding eight double digit fantasy performances over his last ten games including four going over the 20 point mark. In the end we have elected to ride with Machado we could easily see going with the other two top options if the weather holds out at Coors Field.

Top Tier Option: Kris Bryant & Nolan Arenado

Mid Tier Option: Jose Reyes

Fantasy Sleeper: Trevor Plouffe & Christian Arroyo

Short Stop – Ronald Torreyes

Now if you are looking to play cash lineups we strongly suggest spending more freely here and going with cheaper options at third base and in the outfield. In the end the New York Yankees short stop should be in the lineup tonight and hitting at one of the more friendly hitter ball parks in all of Major League Baseball. We also love the idea of going with either Francisco Lindor or Addison Russell tonight as well if the salary is there.

Top Tier Opton: Francisco Lindor & Addison Russell

Mid Tier Option: Tim Beckham

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Adeiny Hechavarria

Outfielders – Bryce Harper, Matt Joyce & Colby Rasmus

We have a bunch of options in the outfield we really like including Mike Trout and Bryce Harper as our top options. Along with those two guys like Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Khris Davis are also solid options. In the end we love Harper hitting at Camden Yards against a struggling Kevin Gausman. Gausman enters tonights game struggling with command while allowing opposing hitters to hit .321 off of him with six home runs. Meanwhile Joyce is one of those plays you can’t look past as he is hitting .333 off of Nolasco in 15 career at bats with two of those hits going for home runs. The last of our options to allow this roster to work out is Rasmus who just returned from the DL and that spark the Tampa Bay Rays is relying on.

Top Tier Option: Mike Trout & Aaron Judge

Mid Tier Option: Giancarlo Stanton & Jayson Werth

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Joey Rickard

The Daily Fantasy Baseball action continues to stay strong with a 12 Game MLB Slate tonight. Now before we start to look at our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for tonight we strongly recommend monitoring the weather situation across the country before securing any lineups with rain in the forecast.

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

Now that we got that out of the way the rest of the MLB slate looks promising tonight for Daily Fantasy Baseball owners to cash in on. This includes a strong pitching presecense on the mound including guys like Dallas Keuchel, Yu Darvish, Chris Archer and Danny Salazar.

For us we could easily go with all three of those options tonight but are leaning towards Salazar. Salazar enters this contest with five straight 30 plus fantasy performances despite not making it to the six inning in two of those games. Now he will look to continue that success against a Kansas City Royals team that ranks near the bottom of multiple offensive categories including runs scored per game.

Meanwhile at the plate we could go a few directions including going with a few players who have had big time success against the starters taking the mound tonight. This includes guys like Dustin Pedroia, Carlos Gonzalez and Edwin Encarnacion.

With that being said here is a look at the Daily Fantasy Baseball Options we like tonight.

Starting Pitcher – Danny Salazar

We went back and forth on options on our options on the mound including debating whether or not to use Salazar or Archer. In the end we elected go with Salazar tonight as our top option on the mound but could us building some lineups around Archer as well. In the end it was hard to look past Salazar who is facing a Royals team that ranks 30^th in runs scored, 30^th in hits and 30^th in OPS.

Top Tier Option: Dallas Keuchel & Chris Archer

Mid Tier Option: Lance Lynn

Fantasy Sleeper: Tom Koehler (Monitor Weather)

Catcher – Stephen Vogt

We continue to use the catcher position as one of those positions to off set some of the cost of our starting pitcher option. Tonight we like a few names but at the top of the list is Vogt who we love in GPP formats while leaning towards Nick Hundley in Cash Lineups. We are looking to ride the upside we saw from Vogt in his performance on Thursday.

Top Tier Option: N/A

Mid Tier Option: Yasmani Grandal

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Derek Norris

First Base – Edwin Encarnacion

The fire power at the first base position night and night out makes it extremely difficult to decide on just that one guy to build around. While we love Paul Goldschmidt tonight we like the GPP upside and value that Encarnacion brings tonight. The Cleveland Indians first baseman enters tonight hitting .389 off of Jason Hammel with three home runs in 18 career at bats.

Top Tier Option: Paul Goldschmidt

Mid Tier Options: Chris Davis & Yonder Alonso

Fantasy Sleeper: Adrian Gonzalez

Second Base – Dustin Pedroia

Playing the numbers is exactly what we are doing as we look to ride Pedroia’s success against Phil Hughes. Entering tonight the Boston Red Sox second baseman is 16 for 41 in his career against Hughes with three doubles, five home runs and 15 runs batted. On the higher side we also like both DJ LeMahieu and Brandon Drury as both will look to take advantage of playing at Coors Field tonight.

Top Tier Option: Brandon Drury & DJ LeMahieu

Mid Tier Option: Jason Kipnis

Fantasy Sleeper: Gift Ngoepe (Weather) & Jed Lowrie

Third Base – Evan Longoria

Now depending on where you elected to go on the mound you could have some additional cap space to go up to a guy like Manny Machado or Nolan Arenado here without costing the team much value. For us we like the higher tier options on the mound opening up the door to a play like Longoria who costs just $2,800k tonight. While Longoria has struggled at times this season he does provide a power option each time he steps into the batters box.

Top Tier Option: Nolan Arenado & Jake Lamb

Mid Tier Option: Manny Machado & Martin Prado

Fantasy Sleeper: Yandy Diaz

Short Stop – Corey Seager

After electing to go with a few bargains at other positions tonight it opens up the door for us to spend a little more aggressive tonight at the short stop position. In the end we narrowed our options down to Carlos Correa and Corey Seager before electing to go with Seager who has the GPP upside we like. Now another option is to go with another bargain type player in the outfield to free up the cash to spend on Trevor Story.

Top Tier Opton: Trevor Story & Carlos Correa

Mid Tier Option: Aledmys Diaz

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Freddy Galvis

Outfielders – Carlos Gonzalez, Giancarlo Stanton & Seth Smith

Now the weather as well as an updated injury report could derail our outfield options tonight as Gonzalez (calf) and Smith (weather) each could cost us if they don’t play. That being said it is impossible to look past Gonzalez’s number against Zach Greinke tonight. The Colorado Rockies outfielder is 13 for 36 off of Greinke with four home runs. Meanwhile Stanton has the numbers at Citi Field that play key in his upside tonight. Meanwhile the Orioles outfielder has been up and down but has two multi hit performances over his last five games.

Top Tier Option: Bryce Harper

Mid Tier Option: Adam Jones & George Springer

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Matt Adams & Jabari Blush

The 2017 MLB Season delivers an action packed full slate tonight with all 30 teams in action. A slate that includes 11 divisional matchups including a prime time pitching matchup in Detroit where the Tigers will send Justin Verlander to the mound while the Cleveland Indians send Corey Kluber.

Tonight’s slate is an interesting one on both the mound as well as at the plate with a ton of solid Daily Fantasy Baseball Options to build around. On the mound the top of those options is Chris Sale who will take the mound for the Boston Red Sox at home at Fenway Park against the Baltimore Orioles.

For Sale tonight will mark his six start of the season as he continues to look for his second win of the year. Entering this start, the Red Sox starter has gone at least seven innings in all five his starts while striking out 52 total hitters. That type of success has helped Sale to produce at least 46 fantasy points for his FanDuel owners in each of those starts.

Now as Sale sits as the top Daily Fantasy Baseball Option tonight the big question is whether or not we should look to someone else who might be used less or to look to build on that success? Here is whom we like tonight as Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Tuesday May 2^nd, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Masahiro Tanaka

The options on the mound are endless tonight with at least six top tier fantasy options available. While it is hard to pass up on Sale his matchup against a very potent Baltimore Orioles lineup is enough to move us away from him as well as the expectations his usage will be very high tonight. This turns us to someone like Tanaka who has a very favorable matchup against a struggling Toronto Blue Jays team. The same team that has only 15 career hits off of Tanaka in 93 at bats while also striking out 28 times.

Top Tier Option: Chris Sale (Cash Lineups)

Mid Tier Option: Jose Quintana & Matt Moore

Fantasy Sleeper: Edinson Volquez or Alec Asher (GPP Tournaments)

Catcher – Jonathan Lucroy

Tonight’s Texas Rangers/Houston Astros matchup may have three of the top options behind the plate available. While Evan Gattis and Brian McCann have each had success against Cole Hamels in the past Lucroy has the better matchup against Mike Fiers. Not that being said Lucroy is one of those options more suited for a GPP lineup with expectations usage will be lower while the other two as well as Matt Wieters are perfect options for a cash lineup.

Top Tier Option: N/A

Mid Tier Option: Matt Wieters, Evan Gattis & Brian McCann.

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Caleb Joseph

First Base – Ryan Zimmerman

The numbers could point all different directions at first base including guys like Carlos Santana and Will Myers. In the end the Washington Nationals first baseman might be one of the hotter hitters in all of baseball over the past few weeks picking up six home runs over his last seven games. On the lower tier side someone like Trey Mancini, Adrian Gonzalez and even Chris Carter provide you a high GPP side for there salary.

Top Tier Option: Freddi Freeman

Mid Tier Options: Mitch Moreland & Josh Bell

Fantasy Sleeper: Chris Carter

Second Base – Josh Harrison

Now here is the case of us riding a player who is hot entering tonight’s MLB contests. The Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman enters tonight with three multi hit performances over his last five games while product double digit fantasy numbers in each of those contests. On the higher side we like both Daniel Murphy and Jose Altuve who each have had success against starters they will be facing off against tonight.

Top Tier Option: Daniel Murphy & Jose Altuve

Mid Tier Option: Dustin Pedroia

Fantasy Sleeper: Jed Lowrie (GPP Lineups)

Third Base – Jose Reyes

Just a week ago Reyes looked like a player who would not be able to get his career back on track. Fast forward to today and the New York Mets third baseman has been hot picking up hits in seven straight games including three multi hit performances while producing double digit fantasy performances for his owners in six straight games.

Top Tier Option: Nolan Arenado & Jose Ramirez

Mid Tier Option: Manny Machado (GPP) & Jedd Gyorko

Fantasy Sleeper: Adonis Garcia

Short Stop – Eric Aybar

As we built our lineup we considered expensive options like Trea Turner and Jean Segura tonight at the short stop position. In the we see a ton of value at the short stop position including someone like Eric Aybar who sits under the $3k mark. The San Diego Padres short stop might not be a power threat but he does have the potential to swipe a bag on most nights as well as a player who finds a way to get on base.

Top Tier Opton: Trea Turner & Jean Segura

Mid Tier Option: Freddy Galvis

Fantasy Sleeper Option: J.J. Hardy (Deep Sleeper) & Dansby Swanson

Outfielders – Nelson Cruz, Giancarlo Stanton & Eddie Rosario

We could have gone a few directions with our outfield choices including stacking both Cruz and Bryce Harper in the same lineup. In the end we elected to spread money to the other positions while still getting two players who have huge GPP upsides while the third is a solid producer despite sitting under the $3k mark. Cruz enters tonight with home runs in five of his last six games. Meanwhile Stanton is a player who may be looked past tonight after failing to get a hit over his last ten at bats. For us those struggles are a concern but in a GPP lineup he provides a 20 plus opportunity night in and night out. The last of our options is Rosario who enters tonight riding an 11 game hitting streak.

Top Tier Option: Bryce Harper & Mike Trout

Mid Tier Option: Mark Trumbo & Carlos Gomez

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Michael Saunders & Ben Gamel

The 2017 MLB Season rolls into the last week of April with a heavy 12 game slate taking to the diamond tonight. A slate that looks to deliver some very nice Daily Fantasy Baseball options to build around including a solid list of starters who will be talking the hill for there respective clubs.

One of those starters will be Noah Syndergaard for the New York Mets who will look to lead his club to another win over the Atlanta Braves tonight. Syndergaard enters tonight’s as one of only four starters who are averaging over 40 fantasy points a start this season. That success has shown up in three of his four starts where he has posted at least 43 with his only disappointing start going for 31 fantasy points.

While Syndergaard headlines to top line of Daily Fantasy Baseball Options on the mound the list of candidates at the plate is pretty solid as well. One slate that should see a ton of action tonight features the Washington Nationals taking on the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.  Simply based on the fact this contest is at one of the top hitters ball parks you could go with a variety of options including Bryce Harper, Carlos Gonzalez, Daniel Murphy, Ryan Zimmerman and Nolan Arenado.

A few of the other teams we like tonight to build around include the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants. All three of those teams have hit the opposing team starter well in there career making them solid candidates to build our lineup around tonight.

Here is our top Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Wednesday April 26^th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Noah Syndergaard

In the end Syndergaard brings the most consistency to the top line starters and one that should be a solid candidate to turn in at least 30 plus fantasy points on most nights. Add that with the fact he has not gone fewer than six innings in each of his first four starts makes hi one to play in both Cash & GPP lineups. Along with that the New York Mets starter went six innings while striking out seven Atlanta Braves in his first start of the season. Other candidates I like include Dylan Bundy (monitor rain) and James Paxton.

Top Tier Option: Noah Syndergaard

Mid Tier Option: Dylan Bundy & Jamex Paxton

Fantasy Sleeper: Tyler Glasnow or Daniel Norris

Catcher – Chris Herrmann

Now the catcher position will continue to be an interesting position for us as we tend to go very cheap here to offset a top tier starter salary. That being said if you elect to go with a fantasy sleeper like Glasnow or Norris you can spend. That being said Herrmann should get the start with a righty on the mound tonight making him a solid fantasy sleeper. Entering tonight, the Arizona Diamondbacks catcher is three for his nine in his last three starts. A little more expensive someone like Austin Hedges who has four home runs over his last seven games is a solid candidate as well.

Top Tier Option: Austin Hedges

Mid Tier Option: Matt Wieters & Tony Wolters

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jesus Sucre & Chris Herrmann

First Base – Tommy Joseph

This selection is simply based on the fact we are gearing our lineups towards GPP formats and a potential for a bigger payday. While we love some of the more expensive options we like Joseph tonight against Wei-Yin Chen. The Miami Marlins lefty has been hit solid by righties over the last few seasons while struggling to keep the ball in the ballpark.

Top Tier Option: Ryan Zimmerman

Mid Tier Options: Chris Davis & Matt Carpenter (Weather)

Fantasy Sleeper: Tommy Joseph & Greg Bird

Second Base – Danny Espinosa

Here is another one of our Daily Fantasy Baseball plays that is simply based on freeing up some salary cap. While we could easily go with DJ LeMahieu night in and night out at Coors Field we turned to Espinosa based on the projections tonight and his fantasy salary cap number. Despite his struggles to start the season the Los Angeles Angels second baseman has the power potential to reward us in GPP tournaments. Meanwhile the other option we love at second baseman is a solid candidate as well and that is Jonathan Schoop.

Top Tier Option: DJ LeMahieu & Daniel Murphy

Mid Tier Option: Jonathan Schoop & Josh Harrison

Fantasy Sleeper: Chase Utley

Third Base – Martin Prado

The big name potential at third base tonight makes this decision a difficult one espically turning away from Nolan Arenado at home. With that said we tossed around a few options in the low to mid tier range including Prado, Jefry Marte and Maikel Franco. In the end Prado fits the salary cap need and has been solid since his return picking up six hits over 20 at bats with one of those hits a home run.

Top Tier Option: Nolan Arenado

Mid Tier Option: Manny Machado & Maikel Franco

Fantasy Sleeper: Jefry Marte

Short Stop – Nick Ahmed

Now we strongly recommend the lineups as they come out later today to ensure the Diamondbacks short stop is plugged in. If that is the case Ahmed is a solid low by high reward type option with two double digit fantasy performances over his last four games. In the end going expensive on the mound as well in the outfield limits us here leading us to look at guys like Adeiny Hechavarria and J.J. Hardy tonight.

Top Tier Opton: Trevor Story & Trey Turner

Mid Tier Option: Chris Owings

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Adeiny Hechavarria & J.J. Hardy

Outfielders – Bryce Harper, Carlos Gonzalez & Ryan Rua

The matchup at Coors Field is just to hard to pass up on tonight with a potential for a ton of scoring nearly every night of the week. That being said this turned us to Harper who has been red hot to start the season. Entering tonight, Harper has 12 double digit fantasy performances to start the season and three in his last three games with at least two at bats. Meanwhile Cargo enters tonight picking up hits in five straight games at Coors Field while posting three double digit fantasy performances. The last of our options is one of those cost cutting options with a huge upside. That option is the Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua who should be in the lineup tonight. Rua enters tonight with six career hits off of Hector Santiago in 13 at bats with one of those going for a home run.

Top Tier Option: Charlie Blackmon, Nelson Cruz & Giancarlo Stanton

Mid Tier Option: Dexter Fowler (Weather) & David Peralta

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Joc Pederson & Jose Martinez (Weather)

Clayton Kershaw, Madison Bumgarner and Dallas Keuchel deliver a prime time showdown of MLB Action tonight opening the door for some solid Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineups. Those three options are just a few of the many strong candidates taking the mound that could anchor our FanDuel Lineup tonight.

Entering tonight, those three options along with Chris Archer are all averaging over 40 fantasy points per contest making them viable top tier fantasy options tonight. The Big question now is whether or not one of those four options are the best to build around tonight or whether one of the other solid starting pitching options would be better to build around.

Now of that bunch the one name that stands out is Bumgarner who will take the mound against a struggling Kansas City Royals team. Entering Wednesday Night, the Royals are ranked last in runs batted in (35), 28^th in batting average (.214) and last in total hits (91).

Along with Bumgarner here are the other Daily Fantasy Baseball Options we like for Wednesday April 19^th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Madison Bumgarner

On a night like tonight the debate can be made for as many as dozen starting pitchers including other top tier options like Kershaw, Keuchel and even Zach Greinke. In the end we just couldn’t look past the struggles that the Royals lineup has had this season as well as Bumgarners past success against the Royals. One lower tier option we like tonight is Joe Ross and another option hat may be a solid option as a dark sleeper in GPP formats is Ubaldo Jimenez.

Top Tier Option: Chris Archer

Mid Tier Option: Joe Ross

Fantasy Sleeper: Ubaldo Jimenez

Catcher – Derek Norris

The catcher position is one of a few positions we consider tonight to be worthy of looking to the bargain bin to fill. That being said one option we like more in the GPP format is the Tampa Bay Rays catcher. While Norris has struggled to start the season he has picked up three hits over his last eight at bats. Add that with the fact that Zimmerman has struggled in the past in Tampa Bay makes Norris a solid fantasy option tonight.

Mid Tier Option: Welington Castillo

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jose Lobaton

First Base – Justin Smoak

Now depending if you are playing in GPP tournaments or Cash games you might go a few different directions here. In the end while Smoak hasn’t produced to start the season he has had success against Ricky Porcello in his career. Over 24 career at bats, Porecello has picked up seven hits including three of those hits going for home runs.

Top Tier Option: Joey Votto & Paul Goldschmidt

Mid Tier Options: Logan Morrison & Trey Mancini

Second Base – Jonathan Schoop

Despite having a huge upside and the ability to hit for power nearly any night of the week Schoop continues to be a reasonable priced fantasy option. Add that with the fact he has hits in six straight games including four multi hit games over that stretch. Along with the hits, Schoop has picked up four double digit fantasy performances over that same stretch.

Top Tier Option: Daniel Murphy

Mid Tier Option: Dustin Pedroia

Fantasy Sleeper: Joe Panik

Third Base – Chase Headley

The Yankees third baseman is having a solid bounce back season after seeing some struggles over the past few seasons. Headley enters tonight’s action hitting .409 on the season while picking up two home runs. That success has shown up for his daily fantasy baseball owners as he has posted four double digit fantasy performances over his last five games.

Top Tier Option: Justin Turner & Manny Machado

Mid Tier Option: Evan Longoria

Fantasy Sleeper: Jose Reyes

Short Stop – Erick Aybar

Sometimes making a play on a daily fantasy option simply comes down to the numbers provided over a period of time. That is the case with Aybar tonight as he has hit very well against Zach Greinke in his career. Over 30 at bats, Aybar has 11 hits including five extra base hits. One other option we like is Corey Seager against the Colorado Rockies.

Top Tier Opton: Francisco Lindor

Mid Tier Option: Zack Cozart

Outfielders – Bryce Harper, Eddie Rosario & Adam Jones

The heavy slate of action tonight provides us all with a heavy slate of daily fantasy options in the outfield. That list of daily fantasy options are headlined by top tier options like Mike Trout, George Springer as well as Bryce Harper. Of that bunch we like Harper tonight based on his success against Julio Teheran over the years. That success includes hitting .419 over 31 career at bats with five career home runs. Meanwhile for Rosario he provides a very nice lower tier option who has eight hits over 18 at bats against Trevor Bauer. The last of our outfielder options tonight we like tonight is Jones who has picked up hits in four straight games including hitting his third home run of the season last night.

Top Tier Option: George Springer

Mid Tier Option: Aaron Judge & Yasmany Tomas

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Gerardo Parra

The 2017 MLB Season has taken front page as Daily Fantasy Sports owners just begin to start cashing in. The action continues tonight with a solid five games slate taking to the diamond this evening including a matchup out west featuring one of the games top starters taking the hill.

That starter is Madison Bumgarner who will be taking the mound for the third time this season as he looks to lead the San Francisco Giants to a win tonight against the Colorado Rockies.  In his previous two starts this season Bumgarner posted 37 and 49 daily fantasy points on FanDuel.

While Bumgarner looks to be at the top of the options on the mound the debate can be made over a few of the top fantasy options that could fill out our roster. One of those options is Marcell Ozuna who is hitting .400 on the year with three home runs and 12 runs batted in.

Here is a look at our Daily Fantasy Baseball Options for Thursday April 13^th, 2017.

Starting Pitcher – Madison Bumgarner

On a night with just five games and a very thin list of top tier fantasy options on the mound it helps open the door for the Giants ace. While a few of the current Rockies have had success against Bumgarner the team as a whole has hit just .256 over 221 plate appearances with 48 total strikeouts. The other option we like as a cost saving move is Jason Vargas of the Kansas City Royals against an Oakland A’s team hitting just .243 against him.

Fantasy Sleeper: Luis Severino

Catcher – Wellington Castillo

Looking at the catcher position opened up the door for a few different options including Castillo. The Baltimore Orioles catcher enters tonight picking up hits in three straight games as well as  five of his six games played this season. Over that stretch, Castillo has three multi hit games as he enters tonight’s matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays and Francisco Liriano. Over 19 career at bats against Liriano, Castillo has six hits including two home runs.

Fantasy Sleeper: Tucker Burnhart

First Base – Eric Thames

Once an up and coming power hitter, Thames has returned to the Majors League this season and has swung a decent bat to start the season. The Milwaukee Brewers first baseman is hitting .318 with one home run  with three runs batted in. That success has showed up over the past week as Thames has picked up hits in five straight games with two of those games seeing at least 12 daily fantasy points. Tonight he will look to conintue that success against Bronson Arroya who struggled in his only start of the season. In that game Arroya finished with six earned runs allowed while allowing two home runs.  Another more expensive option that will really like tonight is Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles who is off to a quiet but strong start in 2017.

Fantasy Sleeper: Justin Smoak

Second Base – Jonathan Schoop

As we looked for a few Daily Fantasy Baseball Sleepers we landed on a few solid options at the second base position. Those options include Starlin Castro, Jed Lowrie as well as Schoop. In his career the Orioles second baseman is hitting .286 at the Rogers Centre with four career home runs.

Fantasy Sleeper: Jed Lowrie & Starlin Castro

Third Base – Josh Donaldson

Sometimes playing the matchups is the simplest way to build our daily fantasy baseball lineup on a night to night basis. That is the case tonight for Donaldson who will look to continue his success against Kevin Gausman. In his career, Gausman is six for 18 with one home run over the past few seasons against the Orioles starter. Along with Donaldson we also considered building around Manny Machado as well as Chase Headley who has gotten off to a red hot start.

Fantasy Sleeper: Ronald Torreyes

Short Stop – Brandon Crawford

The Short Stop position might be one of the most interesting positions of the group tonight with no clear cut must use options on the board. One option we do like is Asdrubal Cabrera who has been solid to start the season with hits in eight of his last nine contests while hitting .342 to start the season.  Another option that we like tonight is Brandon Crawford who will look to take advantage against Jon Gray who has struggled at times this season. Entering tonight, Gray has allowed 10 hits including a home run and six earned runs in 9.1 innings of work this season.

Fantasy Sleeper: J.J. Hardy

Outfielder 3 – Aaron Judge, Marcell Ozuna & Lorenzo Cain

Tonight we tossed around a few combinations of options including stacking both Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton together tonight. In the end we elected to go with just Ozuna who has started the season with four multi hit contests to start the season while posting over 18 fantasy points in three of those contests. The second of those options we elected to go with is Cain who much like Ozuna has started the season hot. While Cain won’t put up big home run totals, he has shown his ability to get on base, steal bases and score runs will help his daily fantasy owners night in and night out. The last of the outfielder options we like is Judge who is still underpriced entering tonight despite watching him post six hits over his last 11 at bats while posting over 21 fantasy points in three straight games.

Other Outfielder Options: Adam Jones, Giancarlo Stanton & Billy Hamilton

Fantasy Sleepers: Matt Joyce
