2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: September 8th 2013

Daily Fantasy Baseball Fix

 

The National Football League is in full swing today, but for those of you down with baseball still, I’ve got some lineup suggestions for you Draft Kings daily fantasy baseball players. Today I will be once again participating in the Daily Dollar challenge as well as the $2 Moonshot challenge. If you are new to Draft Kings, you can claim your Deposit Bonus here.

Once again, like yesterday, Mother Nature is playing nice with the world of baseball, as only two games have a 30% chance of rain, and no games have a higher percentage chance than that.

Here is my team:

I’m going to pick heavily today on Mets pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. Fortunately this allows me to pick two excellent pitchers.

Pitcher: Danny Salazar | vs. NYM | $8,100

Pitcher: Stephen Strasburg | @ MIA | $10,600

Catcher: Yadier Molina | vs. PIT | $3,600

First Base: Carlos Santana | vs. NYM | $4,500

Second Base: Jason Kipnis | vs. NYM | $4,700

Shortstop: Asdrubal Cabrera | vs. NYM | $4,000

Third Base: Jeff Baker | @ LAA | $2,900

Outfield: Michael Brantley | vs. NYM | $4,000

Outfield: Michael Bourn | vs. NYM | $3,800

Outfield: Nick Swisher | vs. NYM | $3,800

Other excellent choices based on strength of matchup are as follows:

Lyle Overbay | First Base | vs. BOS | $3,200: Overbay hits .360/.429/.680 in 25 at-bats against Boston starter Jon Lester.

Jason Kubel | Outfield | vs. NYM | $3,600: If Kubel is starting, he needs to start over Nick Swisher. Kubel is 7-for-12 in his career against Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Giancarlo Stanton | Outfield | vs. WSH | $4,400: Stanton hits .389/.450/.944 with two home runs and four doubles in 18 at-bats against Strasburg.

Miguel Cabrera | Third Baseman | @ KC | $7,200: Cabrera hits .441/.558/.971 against Bruce Chen in 34 at-bats. If you can stomach the salary, he’s a must start.
