We have a 12 game slate today to kick off our week, and there are plenty of options across the board. A few obvious top pitching options, means you will have to find some savings elsewhere. Pricing is pretty tight on both sites, so roster construction should be fun. No major weather concerns as of now for any games.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 7/24/17. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider
Jacob deGrom, NYM @ SDP (DK - $13,400, FD - $11,000)
deGrom went out last start and didn't put up the strikeout numbers he is capable of, but he is in a good bounce back spot tonight. He is facing off against the Padres who have the worst strikeout rate vs right-handed pitching in the entire league, sitting at 25.6%. He is in a great spot to not only rack up some strikeouts, but also pick up the win. He is at a great pitchers park, and should strongly be considered for your cash game rosters.
Gerrit Cole, PIT @ SFG (DK - $9,900, FD - $8,700)
Cole is coming off what might be his best start of the year, and looks to keep it rolling vs the weak Giants offense. Cole had 10 strikeouts last outing and that put him at seven or more strikeouts in three of his last four starts. Great stuff of late, however, he is going up against the Giants who only strikeout 19.6% of the time, which is fifth best in the league. Regardless of that, he is at a great pitchers park, and up against a weak offensive team, he is a fringe cash game option for tonight.
DFS Infielders to Consider
Welington Castillo, BAL @ TAM (DK - $3,000, FD - $2,700)
Castillo is decently cheap tonight, and comes into this game with a .357 wOBA and a .133 ISO vs left-handed pitching this season. He might not be at the best hitters parks tonight, but he is up against a pitcher who gives up a .354 wOBA to right-handed hitters, and his savings can allow you to fit in a top pitcher.
Justin Bour, MIA @ TEX (DK - $5,000, FD - $3,400)
Bour gets a nice positive park shift going to Texas tonight. He comes into this game with a .434 wOBA and a .313 ISO vs left-handed pitching this season, and with this great hitters park, he is a threat to go deep. He is viable in all formats tonight.
Scooter Gennett, @ CLE (DK - $4,300, FD - $3,000)
Gennett is always a solid option for the keystone position, because he isn't that expensive, and he comes with a bit of home run upside. He has a five game hitting streak active right now and is up against a pitcher who is giving up a .346 wOBA to left-handed hitters this season. Gennett has a .430 wOBA and a .309 ISO this season vs RHP.
Jake Lamb, ARI vs. ATL (DK - $5,200, FD - $3,900)
Lamb absolutely crushes right-handed pitching this season, he has a .419 wOBA and a .308 ISO. Great numbers from the young player, and this game being at one of the best hitters parks in the league, makes him viable in all formats. He is expensive, but the home run upside, and the exposure to the Arizona offense can pay off big time.
Jean Segura, SEA vs. BOS (DK - $4,000, FD - $3,500)
Segura had a bit of a rough weekend series vs the Yankees, but is in a good spot to bounce back tonight. This season vs right-handed pitching, Segura has a .361 wOBA and a .133 ISO. He hits for contact and gets on base. Best for cash games tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider
Giancarlo Stanton, OF @ TEX (DK - $5,500, FD - $4,300)
Stanton was in a great spot to go deep in his weekend series vs the Reds, and he put up some bad outings. But, he is in a fantastic spot to bounce back, and should be considered for all formats tonight. He has a .399 wOBA and a .370 ISO this season vs left-handed pitching. Monster numbers, and this game being at a great hitters park, hopefully all points in a positive direction.
Jose Bautista, OF vs. OAK (DK - $3,700, FD - $3,200)
Bautista is simply way too cheap on both sites today. He is under $3,5K on both, and has recently been hitting lead off for Toronto. He has a .341 wOBA and a .197 ISO this season vs right-handed pitching. With his home run upside, he can't be passed up at this price point.
Corey Dickerson, OF vs. BAL (DK - $4,000, FD - $3,000)
Dickerson is having a solid season so far, and comes into this game with a .370 wOBA and a .241 ISO vs right-handed pitching. Very threatening numbers considering the pitcher he is up against is giving up a .391 wOBA to left-handed hitters this season. All signs point to this being a good game for Dickerson.
