FanDuel MLB Lineup and Picks for Wednesday, April 25
Sample Lineup Number One
P – Clayton Kershaw
C/1B – Lucas Duda
2B – Brock Holt
3B – Mike Moustakas
SS – Amed Rosario
OF – Tommy Pham, Rajai Davis, Jackie Bradley
Utility – Jose Martinez
Even with Kershaw in the lineup, we can still afford three big time hitters that should help carry the lineup. The trio of Pham, Martinez and Moustakas all should easily hit double digit points given their matchups. Pham is especially interesting since he could steal a base or two. Bradley and Holt should hit relatively close to each other and they both are lefties, which is Sanchez’s kryptonite. Rosario is a true punt that I’m not totally happy with but Michael Wacha doesn’t;t scare me either. Even if he puts up a zero, he’s only $2,200. It wouldn’t kill this lineup.
Sample Lineup Number Two
P – Eduardo Rodriguez
C/1B – Cody Bellinger
2B – Brock Holt
3B – David Freese
SS – Manny Machado
OF – Rajai Davis, Tommy Pham, Christian Yelich
Utility – Joey Gallo
If you jump down to Rodriguez at the pitching slot, the options for offense are boundless. Being able to fit Bellinger, Machado, Pham, Yelich and Gallo(or bats with their upside) is awfully tempting for a GPP style lineup. Let’s say Kershaw hits 60 FanDuel points. That would be a massive game and likely represents the upside. Even if he hits that and you get Rodriguez to score 40-45 for $4,000 less, it could really open up the possibilities for your lineup. It’s risky and Kershaw is going to be incredibly chalky. In cash, there’s almost no other option. In GPP’s, the options should be much wider.
Stacks to Consider – Rays(at Baltimore), Rangers or A’s, Dodgers(vs Miami), and Indians(vs Chicago)
