Filling In Your Saturday MLB Lineups: Late Edition
Here are theScore's sample DFS lineups for Saturday's 7 p.m. ET or later slate of games:
Cash Game With One Pitcher
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
P | John Lackey (CHC) | at CIN |
C | Jonathan Lucroy (MIL) | vs. PHI |
1B | Adrian Gonzalez (LAD) | at COL |
2B | Dee Gordon (MIA) | at SF |
3B | Mike Moustakas (KC) | vs. BAL |
SS | Corey Seager (LAD) | at COL |
OF | Dexter Fowler (CHC) | at CIN |
OF | Starling Marte (PIT) | at ARI |
OF | Ryan Braun (MIL) | vs. PHI |
Lackey could be the latest Cubs starter to stymie the Reds; Cincinnati has scored just one run in the series' first two games. Gonzalez and Seager receive the Coors Field bump; each player homered there on Friday. Speaking of home runs, Moustakas has six on the year, and has gone deep in two straight games.
GPP With One Pitcher
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
P | John Lackey (CHC) | at CIN |
C | Yasmani Grandal (LAD) | at COL |
1B | Anthony Rizzo (CHC) | at CIN |
2B | Dee Gordon (MIA) | at SF |
3B | Manny Machado (BAL) | at KC |
SS | Corey Seager (LAD) | at COL |
OF | Giancarlo Stanton (MIA) | at SF |
OF | Yasiel Puig (LAD) | at COL |
OF | Dexter Fowler (CHC) | at CIN |
The mid-priced Lackey retains his place in this lineup, as he's 3-0 with 22 strikeouts thus far and his salary creates flexibility elsewhere. Rizzo has homered in three straight games; unsurprisingly, leadoff man Fowler has scored a run in three straight games. The scuffling Stanton and Puig could break out in a big way, thanks to Coors Field in Puig's case and the struggles of Jake Peavy (14 runs allowed in three starts) in Stanton's.

Cash Game With Two Pitchers
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
P | Michael Wacha (STL) | at SD |
P | John Lackey (CHC) | at CIN |
C | Jonathan Lucroy (MIL) | vs. PHI |
1B | Adrian Gonzalez (LAD) | at COL |
2B | Josh Harrison (PIT) | at ARI |
3B | Mike Moustakas (KC) | vs. BAL |
SS | Jordy Mercer (PIT) | at ARI |
OF | Dexter Fowler (CHC) | at CIN |
OF | Christian Yelich (MIA) | at SF |
OF | Ryan Braun (MIL) | vs. PHI |
Yelich has a three-game hit streak and a two-game run-scoring streak; Mercer has hits in five of his last six games, including a mammoth home run Friday. Lucroy and Braun have seven- and five-game hit streaks, respectively, and face Charlie Morton, who struggles on the road.
GPP With Two Pitchers
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
P | John Lackey (CHC) | at CIN |
P | Kenta Maeda (LAD) | at COL |
C | Jonathan Lucroy (MIL) | vs. PHI |
1B | Anthony Rizzo (CHC) | at CIN |
2B | Dee Gordon (MIA) | at SF |
3B | Manny Machado (BAL) | at KC |
SS | Jordy Mercer (PIT) | at ARI |
OF | Christian Yelich (MIA) | at SF |
OF | Ryan Braun (MIL) | vs. PHI |
OF | Dexter Fowler (CHC) | at CIN |
Despite Maeda's early success (0.47 ERA, 2-0 record in three starts), he's likely to be faded due to him pitching at Coors Field. Perhaps he can tame the legendary hitter's park. Machado is batting .397 thus far and has driven in a run in five straight games.
