In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 8/2/17. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider

Dallas Keuchel, HOU vs TAM (DK - $10,500, FD - $9,600)

Keuchel came back from the DL last week and had a rough first start against the Tigers, but he is in a spot to bounce back today. Tonight Keuchel is up against the Rays who have a 26% strikeout rate vs left-handed pitching this season, which is good for second worst in the league. Keuchel has elite strikeout stuff when he is locked in, and has put up seven or more strikeouts six times this year. The strikeout upside is there against this Rays team, just a matter if he can rebound from his previous start.

J.C. Ramirez, LAA vs PHI (DK - $7.200, FD - $7,200)

Ramirez isn't the best pitcher in the league, but he is in a decent spot tonight. He is facing off against a weak Phillies team who has a 23.7% rate vs right-handed pitching. Ramirez makes a good GPP play, or an SP2 on DraftKings because of the match up. There's no other way to put it, but the Phillies don't have a threatening team. They are very inconsistent and they strikeout a lot. So the upside is there for Ramirez, and the added park factor in his favor, make him viable tonight.

DFS Infielders to Consider

Manny Pina - C, MIL vs STL (DK - $3,900, FD - $2,700)

If you like to spend down at catcher, take a look at Pina, especially on FanDuel tonight. He seems a bit under priced, and comes into this game with a .339 wOBA and a .182 ISO this season vs right-handed pitchers. He is at home in a nice hitters park, and the Brewers offense can be very explosive. Good bit of savings comes along with him, and he is playable in all formats.

Joey Votto - 1B, CIN @ PIT (DK - $5,100, FD - $4,100)

Votto is always an elite option, but he is super expensive, so you will probably have to spend down at pitcher or other spots to be able to fit him in your lineup. This season he has a .414 wOBA and a .258 ISO vs right-handed pitching. Awesome numbers from the All-Star, and brings good home run upside to any of your lineups.

Eduardo Nunez - 2B, BOS vs CLE (DK - $5,300, FD - $3,700)

Nunez has been on fire since he joined the Red Sox. He has has 9 RBI's over his last four games. Absolutely red hot start for the new payer in bean town, and if you want to ride the hot hitter, he is your guy. This season vs right-handed pitching, he has a .344 wOBA and a .136 ISO. He also sports a super low strikeout rate of 9.6% vs RHP, so all good signs for him.

Freddie Freeman - 3B, ATL vs LOS (DK - $5,100, FD - $3,900)

Free money Freddie! Anytime you have a chance to roster Freeman, you do it, simple as that. He is expensive, but he crushed both types of pitchers. This season he has a .454 wOBA and a .354 ISO vs right-handed pitchers. His ISO is higher than some players wOBA, just think about that for a second. Absolutely love him in this spot tonight, viable in all formats.

Jean Segura - SS, SEA @ TEX (DK - $4,200, FD - $3,500)

Segura was not in the lineups last night, so he should be set to return for today's game. Segura is at a great hitters park, and comes into this game with a .350 wOBA and a .123 ISO vs right-handed pitching. The Seattle offense seems to be in form lately, as they have scored six or more runs in three straight games. He is a good price, and is playable in all formats.

DFS Outfielders to Consider

Curtis Granderson - OF, NYM @ COL (DK - $5,100, FD - $3,400)

Granderson is under priced on FanDuel considering he is playing at Coors Field. He also has a favorable match up tonight, as he has a .339 wOBA and a .237 ISO this season vs right-handed pitching. The Mets have some solid lefty power bats, so putting Granderson in a stack with a few other lefty bats could lead to big points.

Ben Zobrist - OF, CHC vs ARI (DK - $3,400, FD - $2,900)

Normally its easy to predict where a hitter will bat in the lineup, but with Maddon as the manage, who knows. Zobrist has been in the lineup at seven different spots this year, kinda crazy. But he still is in a good spot tonight. He has a .309 wOBA and a .147 ISO vs right-handed pitching this season. He is cheap and getting a bit of exposure to the Cubs offense is never a bad thing.

Michael Brantley - OF, CLE vs BOS (DK - $4,200, FD - $3,800)

Really like this spot for Brantley tonight. He is up against Rick Porcello, who is giving up a .342 wOBA to left-handed hitters this season, along with a 44.8% hard contact rate. Those type of numbers, plus this being at a great hitters parks, points to good things for Brantley who has a .365 wOBA and a .174 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season.
