FanDuel MLB DFS Breakdown: Sample Lineup and Overview

Here’s where I am going to break down my thought process on this slate for you. In cash games, I am perfectly fine with a pitcher like Aaron Civale or even Anthony DeScalfani today. I am all about paying down into the 7-8k range to try to get some salary cap savings for some of these pricier hitters and stacks.

My cash game lineup features my 3 core plays along with some of the value bats (Schoop, Bradley, and Thaiss). I love that I was able to get some Coors exposure with Bradley, Arenado, and Vasquez as well as some exposure to each of my favorite non-Coors stacks with Schoop, Soto, and Trout.

Cash Game Lineup

Pitcher: Aaron Civale

C/1B: Christian Vasquez

2B: Jonathan Schoop

3B: Matt Thais

SS: Mike Freeman

OF: Juan Soto

OF: Mike Trout

OF: Jackie Bradley Jr.

UTIL: Nolan Arenado

My main slate GPP build is a 4-3-1 build with Anthony DeScalfani as my pitcher. I am going to roll with a 4-man Twins stack and 3 Nats bats with Tim Anderson being my one-off play at shortstop against reverse splits pitcher Jake Odorizzi.
