Thursdays are often travel days or off days for Major League Baseball teams, but with the All-Star break just around the corner, this Thursday still has a pretty full schedule.

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Bryan Woo, SEA at NYY ($10K DK/$10.3K FD)

Woo has been dialed in lately and makes a strong play even though he's taking on a scary Yankees lineup. He's not a safe option due to the matchup, but he does bring one of the highest ceilings on the board and comes in with good momentum.

Woo is 8-4 in his 17 starts with a 2.77 ERA and 3.46 FIP. He has 104 strikeouts in his 107 1/3 innings. Woo has been especially strong over his last four starts, allowing but two earned runs total in 25 innings for a 0.72 ERA and 3.04 FIP with 32 strikeouts in those 25 innings. He averaged 28.6 DraftKings points per outing over those four starts. The Yankees have thumped the Mariners in the first two games of the series, and Woo will look to be the stopper and help the M's avoid the sweep this Thursday night.

Logan Allen, CLE at CWS ($7.7K DK/$8.6K FD)

The Guardians had lost 10 straight before heading to Houston, where they proceeded to sweep a three-game series from the Astros. Now they have a good shot to go into the break with some momentum since they finish their road trip with a stop in Chicago, where lefty Logan Allen makes a good mid-range value play on Thursday's slate.

Allen is coming off one of his best starts of the season in his last start against the Tigers.

— Cleveland Guardians On SI (@GuardiansOnSI) July 6, 2025

He'll have a much easier matchup this time around against the White Sox, and he will look to continue to improve his 4.07 ERA and 4.44 FIP. He has pitched into the sixth inning and allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight games. He has been consistent enough to be especially attractive for cash games, and he brings a strong floor against the White Sox, who have the lowest team batting average, wOBA, and wRC+ in the majors this season and have scored the fewest runs as well.

JP Sears, ATH vs. ATL ($7.1 DK/$8.1K FD)

Sears has been up and down for the Athletics this season, but the 29-year-old lefty is coming off back-to-back strong starts as he faces the Braves in Sacramento this Thursday. Sears held the Yankees and Giants scoreless in his last two outings, earning the win in both starts and earning 21.75 DraftKings points and 26.5 DraftKings points. He totaled 10 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and five walks.

The Braves have been one of the most disappointing teams in the majors this season, and they have specifically struggled against lefties and on the road. They're hitting only .225 with a .289 wOBA against southpaws this season and .231 with a .303 wOBA on the road. They're a good enough matchup to give Sears a high ceiling, even though his inconsistencies this season make him best suited for GPP rosters.

Others To Consider:

• Spencer Strider, ATL at ATH ($9.5K DK/$9.8K FD)
• Patrick Corbin, TEX at LAA ($7.5K DK/$7.8K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Jose Ramirez, 3B - CLE ($5.7K DK/$3.7K FD)

Ramirez has homered in three straight games for the Guardians to help them get headed in the right direction. He has 17 homers on the season to go with his 27 stolen bases and .301 batting average, and over the last six games, he is 8-for-22 (.364) with four homers, four stolen bases, and an average of 18.3 fantasy points per contest.

Ramirez and the Guardians are in a good spot against Jonathan Cannon in Chicago. Cannon is 3-7 in his 14 games this year with a 4.50 ERA and 4.77 FIP. He has been a little better at home, but Ramirez has a .313 road batting average and .381 road wOBA on the year, giving him the advantage in the splits and making him a strong centerpiece to build around Thursday night.

Corey Seager, SS - TEX ($4.4 DK/$3.5K FD)

Seager is still remarkably underpriced on Thursday night, given how productive he has been and how great a matchup he gets against the Angels and Jack Kochanowicz. He has crushed the Angels all year with multiple hits in all six games against the Halos, going 13-for-21 (.619) with three homers, two doubles, six RBI, four walks, and no strikeouts.

— MLB (@MLB) July 8, 2025

He has a 14-game on-base streak, and he has gone 18-for-52 (.346) during that time with six homers, a .509 wOBA, and a 69.0% hard-hit rate over that span.

Kochanowicz has been a great matchup for left-handed hitters like Seager all season, giving up a .300 batting average, 13 homers, and a .383 wOBA in the split. Seager should be locked in and ready to go for such a juicy matchup, and he comes at a mid-range salary with elite upside.

Josh Bell, 1B - WSH ($3K DK/$2.7K FD)

Bell's return to Washington this season has been underwhelming overall, with a .219 batting average, but he has shown some pop with 11 homers and a .302 wOBA, and has been trending up lately. He has hit safely in six straight starts and is 14-for-36 (.389) over his last 110 games with four doubles, a home run, and a 54.8% hard-hit rate, which is a marked improvement over his 45.2% hard-hit rate on the season.

Bell is averaging 8.8 DraftKings points per game over those 11 contests, and he should be in a good spot to keep rolling against Miles Mikolas in St. Louis. Bell is 10-for-34 (.294) against Mikolas in his career with a pair of homers and five walks. He's a great, cheap way to go at 1B to allow you to pay up for stars on the left side of the infield or in the outfield.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Nick Kurtz, 1B - ATH ($5K DK/$3.4K FD)
• Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B/3B - NYY ($5.5K DK/$3.6K FD) 
• Angel Martinez, 2B/OF - CLE ($3K DK/$2.7K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Ronald Acuna Jr., OF - ATL ($6.4K DK/$4.1K FD)

Acuna had to be scratched on Tuesday with a back issue, but his back looked just fine in his return on Wednesday.

— MLB (@MLB) July 10, 2025

He added another homer later in the game and finished with 30 DraftKings points. He's up to an impressive 11 homers in his 41 games since returning from his knee injury and is hitting .336 with a .450 wOBA and 52.0% hard-hit rate. He hasn't hit lefties very well, so Sears isn't a great matchup for him, but he's hot enough to be a good play still if you can afford his price, especially in the homer-friendly confines of Sutter Health Park.

Jarren Duran, OF - BOS ($4.5K DK/$3.6K FD)

Duran has been doing his best Acuna impression, providing power and speed from the top of Boston's surging lineup. He has homered in each of his last two games and is hitting .351 (13-for-37) over his current 10-game hitting streak, with four doubles, two triples, three homers, and a .501 wOBA.

The Red Sox host the Rays this weekend in a critical AL East showdown, and Duran has hit .298 with a .383 wOBA at home and .289 with a .369 wOBA against right-handed pitching. Playing at Fenway against righty Taj Bradley puts him on the strong side of both those splits and makes him a great mid-range value to consider on this slate.

Denzel Clarke, OF - ATH ($2.7K DK/$2.4K FD)

Clarke has made a huge impact and plenty of highlight reels with his exceptional defense in center field since joining the Athletics, but the 25-year-old rookie has also been a solid place to go bargain shopping if you need a cheap play in the outfield. He's only hitting .218 on the season, but he has hit safely in each of his last five games while going 7-for-18 (.389) with three doubles, a triple, and a home run.

In those five games, Clarke has averaged 10.2 DraftKings points per game, and he has a 54.5% hard-hit rate. Since he's batting ninth in the order, he actually serves as a "second leadoff" hitter and often ends up on base in front of the Athletics' big bats. He's a great value play with huge upside at this salary under $3K.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Corbin Carroll, OF - ARI ($5.9K DK/$4K FD)
  
• Evan Carter, OF - TEX ($4.4K DK/$3.5K FD)
• Masataka Yoshida, OF - BOS ($3K DK/$2.7K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks

1. Rangers vs. Jack Kochanowicz (LAA)

The Rangers got four runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings in their first matchup against Kochanowicz this season, and the young righty continues to get crushed, especially by lefties. He has a 5.42 ERA and 5.58 FIP on the season, but lefties are hitting .300 with 13 homers and a .383 wOBA. The Rangers have struggled on offense at times this season, but they scored 26 runs in the first three games of this four-game set and should be able to get to Kochanowicz Thursday night.

Favorite Combo: Seager, Carter, Josh Smith, Marcus Semien, Jonah Heim

2. Cleveland Guardians vs. Jonathan Cannon (CWS)

Before their sweep of the Astros, a Guardians stack would have been almost unthinkable, but the bounce-back sweep has led to some reasonable value across the lineup. Cannon has let lefties hit .283 against him with a .364 wOBA on the year. The Guardians come overstocked with left-handed hitters, so it should be a good matchup for them. Cleveland got six runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings against Cannon earlier this year.

Favorite Combo: Ramirez, Martinez, Steven Kwan, Carlos Santana, Daniel Schneemann

Also consider: Seattle Mariners vs. Marcus Stroman, Washington Nationals vs. Miles Mikolas

Favorite Combo: Tucker, Suzuki, Crow-Armstrong, Busch
