FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/8/16): MLB DFS Advice

What's up RotoBallers. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 7/8/16. You can also see our DraftKings DFS lineup picks for 7/8/16. 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.

The Philadelphia Phillies are still playing in Colorado against the Rockies. Both teams have solid pitching options scheduled to start, but it will not really matter. Jon Gray and Vince Velasquez are going to suffer in Coors Field. Attack this game as much as possible. Find out who else to attack tonight below:

Editor's Note: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week. All the tools you need to help win your seasonal and daily leagues: Hitter & Pitcher Streamers, Matchup Ratings for every player, Under-the-Radar Surgers for AVG, HR, Ks, plus daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Lineup Picks, Expert Lineups, Stacks and Avoids. 

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants have been fantastic offensively this entire season. It sure is nice to see the Giants beat teams with offense instead of pitching. Patrick Corbin will likely not be able to keep their high-powered offense down in San Francisco. Stack them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight.

Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers should be able to hit Kyle Gibson tonight. Gibson has been horrendous all season long, and the Rangers are loaded with powerful batters. The upside is definitely there. Use this stack in tournaments.

Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies are playing in Coors Field. The Colorado Rockies are throwing one of their better pitchers, Jon Gray, but it likely will not matter. A few Phillies' hitters have been heating up as well. This is the best stack of the night.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Chris Sale

Chris Sale is the best pitching option on the board, beating out Jose Fernandez due to a slightly lower price tag. He should handle the Atlanta Braves rather easily, and he should be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Ubaldo Jimenez

Ubaldo Jimenez is worth consideration in tournaments tonight. His price tag is very low, and he pitched well in two of his last three contests. All he has to do is pitch decent tonight to be worth his price tag. Do not use him in 50/50 contests.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Cameron Rupp

Cameron Rupp has huge upside, especially in Coors Field tonight against the Colorado Rockies. He is the best catcher option on the board. Use him in all formats.

First Base (1B) - Kendrys Morales

Kendrys Morales is hitting around .500 in his last 10 games, which is absolutely ridiculous. His price tag is not where it needs to be on FanDuel. Take full advantage of that.

Second Base (2B) - Brett Lawrie

Brett Lawrie is another hitter that should definitely be more expensive. He gets a great matchup against Matt Wisler, and he should be able to at least hit value. He is a very good 50/50 option agianst the Atlanta Braves.

Shortstop (SS) - Andrelton Simmons

Andrelton Simmons is hitting over .400 in his last 10 games, and he has battled through some tough match-ups during that time. He gets an easy matchup tonight against Jimenez, who does, despite his upside, allow hits. Simmons should hit value.

Third Base (3B) - Wilmer Flores

Wilmer Flores gets a horrible matchup tonight against the Washington Nationals, but fire him up in at least one tournament lineup. He hit a pinch-hit home run last night for the New York Mets, and it looks like no one is going to slow him down.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Carlos Gonzalez

Carlos Gonzalez is on fire right now. He is one of the most powerful hitters in the league, and he should take advantage of his matchup against Vince Velasquez, who has been struggling, and the Philadelphia Phillies' bullpen tonight. He can be used in all formats.

Michael Bourn

Michael Bourn is very cheap, and his upside is huge. Jeff Samardzija has struggled of recent, and Bourn has 15 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He has the ability to steal bases, which adds to his upside.
