Today’s daily fantasy baseball advice!
For great winning lineups go check out The DFS Guys!!!
Joc Pederson, LOS @ COL – FD $4,800 DK $5,400
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on fire, and it is all because of the play of Joc Pederson. Pederson went 4-for-15, which doesn’t seem very good, but he drew walks, hit home runs, and scored almost every time he was on base. Pederson has a great matchup against the Rockies. Arizona absolutely destroyed the Rockies this week, and I look for Pederson to do the same.

Jacoby Ellsbury, BAL @ NYY – FD $4,400 DK $5,200
The New York Yankees are currently caught up in the middle of the Alex Rodriguez success that they wish wasn’t happening, which is extremely strange because you want your players to succeed. But the Yankees sure are happy to see Jacoby Ellsbury succeeding. Ellsbury has been on fire as of late. He went 2-for-3 in the first of four games with the Orioles on Thursday, and I look for Ellsbury to have a hug series against the Orioles.
Mark Trumbo, SDP @ ARI – FD $4,100 DK $4,200
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Mark Trumbo have been unstoppable as of late. Trumbo had a monster couple of games against the Rockies and Padres. In his past two games he has gone 4-for-8 with 2 home runs, 2 doubles, 4-RBI, and 4 runs scored. Trumbo has been an offensive nightmare for opposing pitching, but he has been a glorious play for any daily fantasy player. I recommend playing Trumbo again tonight.
A.J. Pollock, SDP @ ARI – FD $3,700 DK $3,800
As I stated above, the Diamondbacks have been on fire as of late. A.J. Pollock has been a great play because in his two games against Colorado he went 4-for-7 and he scored a total of 15.25 FanDuel points in 2 games. Pollock doesn’t have as much pop as Trumbo has, but Pollock is still a great play against the Padres.
Mookie Betts, BOS @ TOR – FD $ 3,400 DK $4,800
The Boston Red Sox lost some power in their lineup since Hanley Ramirez has been hurt, but I said that Mookie Betts would have to step it up if the Red Sox were going to continue to win and he has. Betts was on fire against the Tampa Bay Rays, as he went 4-for-12 with 3 home runs. Betts has given the Red Sox some power that they have so desperately needed. Betts has a great matchup against the worst pitching team in baseball in the Toronto Blue Jays, so Betts needs to be in your lineup tonight.
Other Players to Consider:
Michael Brantley, CLE @ KAN – FD $4,200 DK $5,500
David Peralta, SDP @ ARI – FD $3,300 DK $3,600
Justin Upton, SDP @ ARI – FD $4,300 DK $5,000
