Tonight, the San Francisco Giants are going to hammer Shelby Miller. That is just a fact of life. Sorry, Arizona Diamondback fans. As a quick tip for FanDuel users that happen to also play over on DraftKings, the Colorado Rockies are currently priced as if Clayton Kershaw were going to take the mound. This is not going to happen. Stack them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 7/1/16. 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 FanDuel.

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel
San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants get a great matchup tonight against Shelby miller in a very hitter-friendly ballpark. Miller obviously needs some time off to fix his mechanics, but the Diamondbacks are just going to make him fix them during live games, which is great news for the Giants. Use them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox are one of the best hitting teams in the league, and Jhoulys Chacin is in for a rude awakening. This game could get out of hand quickly, especially with Steven Wright on the mound for the Red Sox.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been very disappointing this season, but tonight could be a great night to go contrarian and stack them against Sonny Gray. The Oakland Athletics' pitching staff is horrendous, and the Pirates are fairly cheap. Use them in tournaments only.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel
Julio Teheran should be able to handle the Miami Marlins tonight. The Marlins are starting to heat up, especially their red hot outfield, but Teheran has been too good to avoid him. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Steven Wright
Steven Wright makes for a great option tonight against the Los Angeles Angels. The only problem with starting Wright tonight is that it limits a Red Sox stack to only three hitters. While disappointing, Wright is worth it.
DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel
Catcher (C) - Kurt Suzuki
Kurt Suzuki is hammering the ball right now. His price tag is still down, and he is almost definitely going to hit value. In his last 10 games, he is hitting over .400 with two home runs and eight RBIs.
First Base (1B) - Kendrys Morales
For the time being, Kendrys Morales should be the only first baseman used for fantasy purposes. He is hitting over .550 in his last 10 games with three home runs and 13 RBIs. There is no reason to avoid him. He can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments, obviously.
Second Base (2B) - Jonathan Schoop
Jonathan Schoop has been great so far this season. He is hitting over .300 with 13 home runs and 46 RBIs. In his last 10 games, he is hitting over .450 with two home runs and eight RBIs. He should continue to hit well tonight against the Seattle Mariners.
Shortstop (SS) - Manny Machado
If he is affordable, use him. Manny Machado has been fantastic since returning from his suspension, hitting over .450 in his last 10 games with one home run and eight RBIs. He has both power and speed.
Third Base (3B) - Ruben Tejada
Ruben Tejada gets a great matchup tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he should continue to start for the San Francisco Giants, as they are still dealing with multiple injury issues. If he does start, use him as a salary relief option.
DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel
Angel Pagan is another San Francisco Giant that should be used tonight. Shelby Miller is going to get hammered, and Pagan is having a great season, showing that he is not yet ready to hang it up. He is hitting over .350 in his last 10 games with one home run and 11 RBIs.
Nelson Cruz should only be used in tournaments. He has a ton of power, but he has been struggling of recent. With 20 home runs on the season and a great matchup against the terrible Baltimore Orioles' pitching staff, he is still worth consideration due to his upside.
