With the weekend ending today, today’s top MLB DFS lineups could end the weekend with a bang for fantasy players. Sunday’s full slate of 16 games will end the weekend with style for fantasy lineups today. Easter weekend is ending today, but fantasy players could find gems to win fantasy cash prizes today.

Sunday’s slate of games will have a lot of action for fantasy, including the Texas Rangers hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers to end the weekend. Another game that could have fantasy players win big on their MLB DFS lineups today is the Atlanta Braves hosting the Minnesota Twins for their weekend series.

The weekend is ending soon, but there could be fantasy players who can win big before their Easter weekend ends with a golden egg of a lineup.

April 20th Top MLB DFS Lineup Starters

1B Michael Busch, Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs ($4,600 – DraftKings/3,000-Fanduel)

To start your Sunday afternoon top MLB DFS lineups, Michael Busch of the Chicago Cubs should be on the lineups. During the 6-2 win against the Diamondbacks, Busch went 2-4 with a home run, a strikeout, and two RBIs.

Busch has been amazing for the Cubs during this weekend series and could have another great game today. Fantasy players could see a home run from the Cubs’ hottest hitter today.

2B/OF Tommy Edman, Los Angeles Dodgers at Texas Rangers ($4,00 – DraftKings/3,300-Fanduel)

Tommy Edman of the Los Angeles Dodgers should also be in their lineups for tonight’s top MLB DFS lineups. During a loss against the Rangers, Edman went 0-4 with a strikeout during the walk-off loss.

Edman has been one of the top hitters in baseball right now and could have a multi-hit game for the Dodgers. Fantasy players could also see Edman have a home run in a bounce-back game against the Rangers. 

3B Brett Baty, St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets ($2,300 – DraftKings/2,300-Fanduel)

The last player to have for your fantasy lineups is Brett Baty of the New York Mets for today’s DFS lineups. During the win over the Cardinals yesterday, Baty went 0-1 with a walk in one plate appearance.

Baty has been improving his plate discipline and could have a solid game today. With the Mets having a strong showing at home, Baty could have a multi-hit game for fantasy players against the Cardinals.

April 20th Top MLB DFS Benchwarmers

C Sean Murphy, Minnesota Twins at Atlanta Braves (3,900 – DraftKings/3,300-Fanduel)

Sean Murphy is the first player who should be on your top MLB DFS fantasy benches this Sunday afternoon. During the win over the Twins, Murphy went 0-3 with two strikeouts, Saturday afternoon.

Murphy has been inconsistent for the Braves this season and could have a weak game today. Fantasy players could expect another hitless game from the Braves catcher.

2B Andres Gimenez, Seattle Mariners at Toronto Blue Jays ($4,500 – DraftKings/3,000-Fanduel)

Another player that should be on your fantasy benches tonight is Andres Gimenez of the Toronto Blue Jays. During the extra-innings loss against the Mariners, Gimenez went 3-6 with a double, an RBI, and a stolen base.

Gimenez could struggle against the Mariners’ pitching today with another elite arm in Luis Castillo. Fantasy players could see Gimenez have a multi-strikeout game in today’s game against the Mariners.

3B/SS Javier Baez, Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers ($3,500-DraftKings/2,400-Fanduel)

The last player to bench for today’s top MLB DFS lineups is the Detroit Tigers’ Javier Baez. During a win over the Royals, Baez went 1-3 with a strikeout yesterday afternoon.

Baez has been a free swinger for the majority of his career and could have a rough day against the Royals. Fantasy players should ignore Baez’s free-swinging approach and should bench him, even with decent numbers.
