Welcome to the “FanDuel MLB Lineup Advice” primer for Friday, August 30. Take note that these recommendations were organized earlier in the day, and circumstances could change once the lineup cards are released. However, the following players represent your best targets to consider, and any notable contingencies will be outlined in their write-ups. We will be looking at the 14-game main slate starting at 7:05 ET.
Pitcher
Max Fried (ATL): $8,800 vs. Chicago White Sox
Fried had a tough time against the upstart Mets (5 ER, 7 H, 5 IP) last Saturday, but I’m expecting him to bounce-back nicely in this home date with the White Sox. Chicago ranks 25th in wRC+ with the fifth-highest strikeout rate (25.7%) in baseball. They have a top-heavy lineup centered around Jose Abreu and Yoan Moncada, meaning Fried has an excellent chance to rack up fantasy points if he keeps those bats quiet. He should see plenty of run support to pull out a win bonus as well.
Other Pitchers to consider: Anibal Sanchez (WAS), Dakota Hudson (STL)
