DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Nathan Eovaldi ($11,000 DraftKings; $11,000 FanDuel) vs. Rays
Nathan Eovaldi is the most expensive pitcher of the main slate on both sites, and you can roll with him despite the bad matchup. The Tampa Bay Rays are among the best offenses in baseball and could change Eovaldi in this start. The Rays have the most home runs against right-handed pitching this season, but they also have the most strikeouts against righties.

The 32-year-old pitcher has the lowest HR/FB% of his career and a GB% over 50% for only the second time in 12 years. If Eovaldi can keep the ball on the ground and maintain his strikeout rate, this should be a solid pick.
Julio Teheran ($8,700 DK; $8,700 FD) vs. Athletics
The Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Julio Teheran is an interesting case to study. He started his career off well before fluctuating between good and bad years. Teheran's resurgence has been surprising and improbable, considering he's only played 11 games in the past two seasons. The underlying numbers do not exactly support the level of run prevention that Teheran has been achieving. Still, taking a chance on a surging pitcher against the Oakland Athletics is acceptable.
Also Consider: Jared Shuster

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Luke Raley, 1B/OF ($3,500 DK, $3,100 FD) vs. Nathan Eovaldi
Luke Raley has some of the reddest circles on all of Baseball Savant. He is no stranger to making hard contact as he is in the 97th percentile or higher in HardHit%, Average Exit Velocity, xSLG, and Barrel%.

A matchup against Nathan Eovaldi is no easy task, and a home run might be hard to come by, but it would not surprise me if Raley got a hard hit or two in this game.
Josh Jung, 3B ($4,900 DK, $3,500 FD) vs. Taj Bradley
Jung is another slugger with a pretty red Baseball Savant page. Jung is facing Taj Bradley, who has been a solid pitcher since returning from Triple-A but has yet to be the dominant starter he appeared to be at the beginning of the year. Jung has been on a tear lately, hitting safely in five straight games, including a home run in last night's contest.
Marcus Semien, 2B ($5,900 DK, $4,400 FD) vs. Taj Bradley
Semien is one of the more expensive options at second base, but his play makes him worthy of the price tag. Semien is batting .299 this season with nine home runs and 50 RBI. Semien has also maintained a sub-20% strikeout rate from last season. Hitting atop one of the most explosive offenses in baseball puts Semien in a great position to score and drive in runs.
DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Ronald Acuna Jr. ($6,400 DK, $4,600 FD) vs. MacKenzie Gore
Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the most exciting players in baseball and one of the most expensive players in today's main slate. Acuna is facing Mackenzie Gore, the Padres' former top prospect. Gore has been a decent pitcher, posting a 3.66 ERA in 64 innings, but Acuna has been exceptional. It may not be controversial to say that Acuna has been the best hitter in baseball this season. He has 12 home runs and a .332 batting average. He's also 100th percentile in xBA, xSLG, and xwOBA.
Joey Wiemer ($2,400 DK, $2,900 FD) vs. Paul Blackburn
It has not been the prettiest start to a career for Wiemer, but he's starting to come around lately. Wiemer is batting .400 in June with three home runs and nine RBI. The strikeout rate, whiff rate, and xBA differ from what you'd like them to be, but Wiemer is hot right now. He has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, including a two-homer game. Playing at home against a mediocre pitcher might be the perfect situation to continue Wiemer's hot streak.
Marcell Ozuna ($3,400 DK, $2,900 FD) vs. MacKenzie Gore
It does not delight me to say that Ozuna has been producing, but he has. He's currently riding a six-game hitting streak with two doubles and a home run in that time. Ozuna is one of the streakiest hitters in baseball, but he appears to be locked in at the moment. Gore is not the easiest matchup for a right-handed hitter, but you should ride Ozuna while his bat is still hot.
DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks
- Texas Rangers
- Atlanta Braves
I've mentioned two Rangers and two Braves hitters in this article, so it should be no surprise that they're my top stacks of the main slate. The Rangers are one of the best offenses in baseball, facing a top prospect who has not put it all together since returning to the big league rotation. The Braves are facing Gore, who can have issues with walks and long balls. The Braves have the type of lineup that could blow this game open.
