FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Blake Snell - P, vs BOS ($9,600)

Snell has been throwing at an unbelievable level this season. Through 24 starts, he owns a 15-5 record with a 2.07 ERA. He has also posted a 10.4 K/9 through 139 innings. Furthermore, Snell's ERA drops to 1.02 in Tampa Bay. He has found success against the Boston Red Sox in three matchups this season, and he's a -121 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs.

Kevin Gausman - P, at MIA ($8,400)

Gausman has been heating up recently, as he's averaging 44 fantasy points per game over his last three starts. He has performed well since joining the Atlanta Braves, and he gets an elite matchup against the Miami Marlins in a pitcher friendly stadium today. Gausman is a -180 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, as well.

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Ryan O'Hearn - C/1B, vs CLE ($2,600)

O'Hearn comes with a ridiculous price tag today. He's hitting .303 with an .818 slugging percentage and a 1.142 OPS over his last 10 games. Overall, he owns seven extra-base hits (five home runs) and nine RBIs in those games. He finally gets a bit of a relief matchup against Shane Bieber, and O'Hearn is a high upside option that comes with some consistency.

Daniel Murphy - 2B, vs CIN ($4,000)

Murphy recently joined the Chicago Cubs, and he's hitting .310 with a .524 slugging percentage and an .849 OPS over his last 10 games. He's leading off for the Cubs, who have one of the highest upside offenses on the slate. He continues to make a consistent option, but also comes with plenty of upside in this matchup.

Todd Frazier - 3B, vs WAS ($2,700)

Frazier has quietly caught fire recently, hitting three home runs in his last four games. He's expected to hit third in the lineup, and he gets a solid matchup against Jefry Rodriguez. Frazier is not necessarily a safe option, but he comes with tremendous upside for his current price tag.

Tim Anderson - SS, at DET ($3,300)

Anderson continues to play well for the Chicago White Sox. He's hitting .282 with six extra-base hits (two home runs), seven RBIs, and two steals over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Jordan Zimmermann today, and he's hitting in the middle of the White Sox offense. While he has been playing well, Anderson has struggled with consistency this season.

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Ronald Acuna - OF, at MIA ($4,400)

Acuna continues to find success for the Atlanta Braves, posting a .265 average with five extra-base hits (two home runs), two RBIs, and two steals over his last 10 games. He has dominated the Miami Marlins this season, as well, as he owns a .328 average with a .719 slugging percentage and a 1.140 OPS in 17 games against Miami.

Austin Jackson - OF, vs WAS ($2,600)

Jackson has finally cooled off a bit for the New York Mets, but he still makes an interesting option for his price tag. He's hitting well over .300 since joining New York, and he's hitting sixth in their lineup. Jackson also gets a solid matchup against Jefry Rodriguez today, and he comes with tremendous upside.
