In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/15/16. You can also see our FanDuel DFS lineup picks for 7/15/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings. Well, let's get down to it!

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

New York YankeesThe Yankees get a great matchup against E-Rod tonight. He has looked awful in limited starts this season, and he has struggled quite a bit against both left- and right-handed hitters. The Yankees are -135 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

Cincinnati RedsThe Reds are always a sneaky offense when they are playing at home. They get a great matchup against Matt Garza tonight, and he has looked awful in each of his last three starts. They are -122 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they are a bit of a sneaky stack tonight.

San Francisco GiantsThe Giants have looked outstanding this season, and they have been one of the best offenses in the MLB. They get a great matchup against Cashner, who has struggled in most of his games this season. The Giants may go overlooked because the over/under is set at only 7 runs, but that has more to do with Bumgarner being on the mound than the Giants offense.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Madison BumgarnerBumgarner is coming off an elite start against the Diamondbacks and he gets another great matchup against the Padres tonight. He has dominated San Diego this season, and he's a -200 favorite in a game set at 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Chris ArcherArcher has struggled this season, but he has looked good in Tampa Bay. The Rays play in an extremely pitcher friendly stadium, which could explain why Archer has had success at home. He gets a tough matchup against the Orioles, but Archer has elite upside, and he's a -130 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs. He may be best suited for GPPs tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Sandy LeonLeon has looked great in his limited games this season. He'll continue to start in one of the best offenses in the MLB, and he isn't all that expensive. This game has one of the highest over/unders on the slate, and Leon can be used in all leagues tonight.

First Base (1B)

Kennys VargasVargas has only been up for a few games this season, but he has dominated. He has displayed elite power, as all eight of his hits have gone for extra bases. He gets a terrible matchup against Carrasco, but he can still be used in tournaments tonight.

Second Base (2B)

Brandon PhillipsPhillips was on fire before the All Star Break, and he gets a great matchup against Garza tonight. He is a fairly consistent option with decent upside, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Jose ReyesReyes has looked good this season, and the Mets seem to be working him into the lineup every night. He has been a consistent fantasy option, while displaying elite upside. He gets a great matchup against Hellickson, and Reyes can be used in all leagues tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Jake LambLamb has been a bit under appreciated this season, and it's insane that he didn't make the All Star team. He was on fire before the break, and he gets a great matchup against Norris tonight. Lamb isn't a cheap option, but he can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Mike TroutTrout is an unbelievable player, as he has an elite combination of speed and power. He gets a good matchup against Gonzalez, and Trout is a player that can be used in all leagues, as he was on fire before the All Star Break.

Adam DuvallDuvall is in the middle of a breakout season, and he has been surprisingly consistent to go along with his tremendous upside. He gets a great matchup against Matt Garza, and Duvall is a great option tonight, especially in a Reds stack.

Peter BourjosBourjos was on fire before the All Star Break, and he's a bit underpriced for his recent production. He gets a good matchup against Colon, who will likely begin to regress soon. Bourjos has been consistent enough for all leagues tonight.
