DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

There is a slate tonight that has some of the most surprising pitchers in the MLB this season. Kyle Hendricks and Steven Wright are having two elite seasons, but no one would have guessed that before the season. This isn't a slate with loaded pitchers, but there are certainly some high upside options.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/26/16. You can also see our FanDuel DFS lineup picks for 7/26/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings. Well, let's get down to it!

Editor's Note: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week. All the tools you need to help win your seasonal and daily leagues: Hitter & Pitcher Streamers, Matchup Ratings for every player, Under-the-Radar Surgers for AVG, HR, Ks, plus daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Lineup Picks, Expert Lineups, Stacks and Avoids. 

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Toronto Blue JaysThe Blue Jays have a high powered offense, and that will be on full display tonight. They get a great matchup against Cashner, who has really struggled this season. Toronto is a -215 favorite in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they can be used in all leagues.

Boston Red SoxThe Red Sox have arguably the best offense in the MLB when they are at home. They get an elite matchup against Mike Pelfrey tonight, as well. Boston is a -185 favorite in a game set at 11 runs, which is absurdly high for any game outside of Coors, and they are an elite stacking option.

Oakland A's - The A's are far from an elite offense, but they are put in a great situation tonight. They get a matchup against Kyle Lohse, who has allowed 13 runs in his first two starts. The A's have a solid amount of upside spread throughout their lineup, but they are best suited as a tournament stack.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Tom KoehlerKoehler has had his ups and downs this season, but he has thrown well against the Phillies. He's coming off a good start, and he gets another good matchup against them tonight. He's a -160 favorite in a game set at 8 runs, and he's a high risk, high reward option tonight.

Bud NorrisNorris has looked decent when starting for the Dodgers, and he flashed great upside for the Braves earlier this season. He gets a great matchup against the Rays, who have struggled against right-handed pitching this season. Norris is a -120 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, and he's another high upside pitching option.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Carlos RuizRuiz isn't an every day starter, but he has been hot enough to get consideration. He's hitting nearly .400 in his last 10 starts, and he has displayed decent upside, as well. Rupp is dealing with an injury, and Ruiz can be used in all leagues if he's starting.

First Base (1B)

Joey VottoVotto has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .450 in his last 10 games. He has also displayed good power, and he gets a great matchup against Matt Cain, who has really struggled this season. Votto has elite upside, and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Jose AltuveAltuve is one of the best hitters in the MLB, and he has been displaying that recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .500 with an elite combination of power and speed. He gets a great matchup against Sabathia, and Altuve is a player that should be paid up for.

Shortstop (SS)

Alex BregmanBregman was recently called up to the Majors, and he was one of the top prospects in the minors. He has elite upside, and it likely won't take him long to adapt to the MLB, if at all. He gets a great matchup against Sabathia, and he's a great tournament option tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Jose ReyesReyes isn't all that expensive of an option, which is surprising because he has been a great fantasy option this season. He has displayed good upside, but more importantly, he has been extremely consistent. The Mets play a double header today, though, so make sure Reyes is in the lineup before plugging him in.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Ryan BraunBraun has been playing well over his last 10 games. He's a player that has both speed and power, and he has dominated left-handed pitching in his career. He gets a great matchup against Corbin in a hitter friendly stadium, and Braun can be used in all leagues.

Matt KempKemp has been on a home run tear recently, and he has really been displaying power. He gets a great matchup against Stroman tonight, and while Kemp isn't the most consistent option, he can be used in all leagues because of his upside and matchup tonight.

Mac WilliamsonWilliamson struggled early in his Major League career, but he has been on fire recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting nearly .350 with good power. He gets a great matchup against Cody Reed, and Williamson is entirely too cheap. He can be used in all leagues.
