FanDuel Picks For August 22

More from DFS

Welcome back to the best place to get fantasy sports advice across multiple sports. Today I am going to give you my best picks and choices for your FanDuel lineups that I can. My advice is based purely on mathematical and statistical analysis and I try to avoid using player biases and so forth.

NOTE: these FanDuel picks are based solely on statistics. Some players have never faced their opponents, or have very little experience against them. I am not saying that none of those are good picks. This is based on statistical analysis only. If you have a gut feeling, then by all means, follow that. This is not an exact science.

Here are my FanDuel picks for August 22:

Taylor Jungmann

Pitcher Options:

Taylor Jungmann, Brewers ($8,500): After a bad outing on the 11th, Jungmann rebounded with a fantastic 19.33 fantasy points in his outing on the 16th. He should be a solid option for us and be a pretty safe bet to return solid value.

Carlos Rodon, White Sox ($6,800) Carlos Rodon has had solid outings in a row for daily fantasy league purposes. Even with only 11 fantasy points in his last outing on the 17th, that was still a good return compared to his price tag. Rodon is still a good option for daily leagues for the 22nd as his price tag.

Next: FanDuel Infield Hitter Options

    • Adeiny Hechavarria, Marlins ($2,700): Hechavarria has been pretty hot coming into the game on the 22nd. He also has a pretty good track record against Aaron Harang. He has gone 5/13 with an RBI against him over his career. With the way he is playing he should be a safe bet for a hit or two and maybe an RBI. At his price tag he is a pretty safe option.

    Adrian Beltre, Rangers ($3,300): Beltre is not playing the best lately, but I like his prospects considering his record against Randy Wolf. For his career against Wolf he has gone 5/18 with a home run and 4 RBI. He is priced about right and presents some mild danger, but will most likely come through for us.

    Next: FanDuel Outfield Hitter Options

    Aug 20, 2015; Miami, FL, USA; Miami Marlins center fielder Marcell Ozuna (13) rounds third base and scores a run during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Marlins Park. Mandatory Credit: Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports

    Outfield Hitter Options:

    Jackie Bradley, Red Sox ($3,100): You will want to make sure that he is in the starting lineup, but as long as he is with the way that he is playing he should be a safe bet to perform well on the 22nd. Bradley has been one of the hotter outfielders in all of baseball lately. When you have a guy this hot at this cheap of a price I like to ride him until he proves he is not worth using.

    Marcell Ozuna, Marlins ($2,700): Another player at a great price for the games on the 22nd is Ozuna. Since returning from injury he has been pretty hot and has hit two home runs in his last three games. He also has a solid career record against Aaron Harang at 6/15 with two home runs and seven RBI. I expect he will be a safe bet for the 22nd.
