Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/26/17): MLB DFS Advice for FanDuel and DraftKings

We have a split slate today, with four games on the early slate and 10 games on the main slate. Some big name arms on the bump today, so you will need to find some value bats. There are plenty of hitters in good spots, so if you spend down at pitcher, you can load up with power bats. No major weather concerns as of now.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 7/26/17. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @DFS_Tom. Let's Cook.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider

Carlos Martinez - P, STL vs COL (DK - $8,400, FD - $8,900)

Martinez has been a bit up and down recently, but he has the strikeout upside to rack up some points. He is facing off against the Rockies today, who have a 22.6% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitching this season. This puts Martinez in a spot to get back on track with his strikeout stuff, at home in a nice pitchers park. The Rockies do have a powerful offense, but they have a big time negative park shift not being at Coors Field. Martinez is a borderline cash game option for tonight, and a good GPP option, due to his strikeout upside.

Steven Matz - P, NYM @ SDP (DK - $7,700, FD - $7,800)

It looks like it might be a Matz chalk day as he has a super favorable match up. He is at San Diego, which is a great pitchers park, and they have a 25.7% strikeout rate vs left-handed pitching this season. Matz hasn't been super consistent this year, and his injury may be the reason but, he is still in a great spot to pick on the weak Padres offense. Matz isn't that expensive, so if you are looking for a GPP option, or a second pitcher on DraftKings, he is worth consideration.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider

Gary Sanchez - C, NYY vs CIN (DK - $4,400, FD - $3,300)

Sanchez had the day off yesterday, so he should be set to return to the starting lineup tonight. He is at home in a great hitters park, and this season vs right-handed pitching, he has a .360 wOBA and a .209 ISO. Great numbers from the young power hitter, and he is a solid play in any format tonight. He gets you some exposure to the Yankees offense, and has great power upside, vs a pitcher who is giving up a .514 wOBA vs right-handed hitters this season.

Eric Hosmer - 1B, KAN @ DET (DK - $4,300, FD - $3,400)

The Royals have been on quite the streak lately and gunning for the division lead. Hosmer has hits in six of his last 10 games, along with three home runs over that same span. He makes a great cash game option for tonight, since he is up against a pitcher who is giving up a .394 wOBA to right-handed hitters this year. Hosmer has a 129 wRC+ and a .187 ISO this season vs RHP.

Rougned Odor - 2B, TEX vs MIA (DK - $3,800, FD - $2,800)

Odor is simply too cheap today on FanDuel, and he is going to be one of the chalk second basemen tonight. He has a .300 wOBA and a .235 ISO this season vs right-handed pitching. He homered last night, which gives him three home runs over his last three games. Great hitters park, great power upside, makes him viable in all formats tonight.

Jake Lamb - 3B, ARI vs ATL (DK - $5,400, FD - $3,900)

Lamb is super expensive on both sites, but oh boy is he in a good spot. Lamb absolutely destroys right-handed pitchers this season, he has a .420 wOBA and a .307 ISO. Monster numbers for the player at the hot corner, and this game being in an amazing hitters park, only makes him more of a target. Simply put, if you can afford to fit him in your roster, do not pass on it.

Addison Russell - SS, CHC vs CWS (DK - $3,900, FD - $2,300)

Russell is super cheap on FanDuel tonight, and is up against a pitcher who is giving up a .321 wOBA to right-handed batters. Russell offers a bit of savings, and comes into this game with a .301 wOBA and a .183 ISO vs right-handed pitchers. Those numbers won't blow you away, but getting some cheap exposure to a Cubs team who has turned things around is never a bad ides.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider

Shin-soo Choo - OF, TEX vs MIA (DK - $4,300, FD - $3,500)

Choo is always a great option when he is facing a right-handed pitcher, as he is tonight. He has a .337 wOBA and a .183 ISO this season vs RHP. Choo normally bats lead off for the Rangers, and getting this kind of power in the number one spot, in a great hitters park is something you want to key in on. Choo has hits in nine of his last 10 games, and is a great for any format tonight.

Corey Dickerson - OF, TAM vs BAL (DK - $4,400, FD - $2,800)

Not sure how Dickerson is this cheap on FanDuel, but regardless of what kind of contest you are playing, he should be in your lineups. Dickerson has a .363 wOBA and a .234 ISO this season vs right-handed pitchers. He is facing off against a pitcher who is giving up a whopping .428 wOBA to left-handed hitters. Play Corey Dickerson tonight, play him!

Ryan Braun - OF, MIL @ WAS (DK - $4,400, FD - $4,300)

Braun has hits in eight of his last 10 games, and is always a bit of a threat to go deep. Braun has a .452 wOBA and a .293 ISO this season vs left-handed pitchers. Great numbers from the veteran, and he is in a great spot to continue this hot streak he is on. He is at a nice hitters park, and should be a cash game lock tonight.
