Today’s daily fantasy baseball advice for FanDuel and DraftKings.
Check out The DFS Guys for great daily lineups!
Yoenis Cespedes, DET @ CWS – FD $3,200 DK $4,400
The Detroit Tigers have a fantastic matchup offensively against the 25th ranked pitching staff of the Chicago White Sox. On top of that amazing matchup, Cespedes has a .750 batting average against Jose Quintana, who has a 10.13 ERA thus far in 2015. What can top that? Cespedes has a 2.375 slugging percentage against Quintana. No, that is not a typo. He really has a 2.375 slugging percentage against Quintana. Cespedes is an absolute must start today.

Michael Brantley, CLE @ KAN – FD $4,200 DK $5,500
Michael Brantley has gone 2-for-7 in the series against the Kansas City Royals. I like Brantley once again on Thursday against Edison Volquez because Brantley is batting 1.000 against him. The Indians have their ace going tomorrow in Corey Kluber, so I look for the Indians offense to be able to get some runs and get the victory.
Wil Myers, SDP @ ARI – FD $3,400 DK $4,400
The San Diego Padres had a fantastic offensive series against the San Francisco Giants, and now they have another good matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wil Myers went 3-for-9 in the two games he played against the Giants, and he has a great matchup against Rubby De La Rosa. Myers has a .571 career batting average against De La Rosa, so I look for Myers to continue that success on Thursday.
Kole Calhoun, HOU @ LAA – FD $3,300 DK $4,100
The Los Angeles Angels had a tough series against the Seattle Mariners. They didn’t have a ton of offense, but they were able to win games. Kole Calhoun was able to find some success as he went 3-for-8 in the three game set. Calhoun has another great matchup today against the Houston Astros pitcher Collin McHugh. Calhoun is batting .417 in his career against McHugh. I will have Calhoun in my lineup, and I suggest you do the same.
Angel Pagan, MIA @ SFG – FD $3,000 DK $4,000
Angel Pagan had an average series against the San Diego Padres this week. He went 2-for-7 in two games with a RBI and a stolen base. But Pagan looks to redeem himself today because he has an amazing matchup against Miami’s Dan Harren. Pagan is batting .625 in his career against Harren, and Pagan is playing at home. Pagan is a cheap option for you to put in your lineup today that will bring you solid production.
Other Players to Consider:
Jacoby Ellsbury, BAL @ NYY – FD $4,500 DK $5,300
Joc Pederson, LOS @ MIL – FD $3,700 DK $4,200
Mark Trumbo, SDP @ ARI – FD $3,600 DK $4,400
