July 30, 2025

Koby's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Wednesday, 7/30/25. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! It is Wednesday, and we are one day away from the long-awaited trade deadline. The only significant move made yesterday was the trade of Seranthony Dominguez from the Orioles to the Blue Jays. I anticipate that we will see more and more throughout today and tomorrow, so please keep up with trades, as it could result in players being unavailable to play in today's slate.

We have only a small six-game slate for today, and the weather is currently looking favorable in all of them, so we shouldn't have to worry about any postponements. Feel free to jump into our RotoBaller Discord, as we can always help you with some extra advice or guidance in building your lineups. We'll be working hard all day to give you the best chance to make some money.

This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 7/30/2025, with the slate starting at 6:40 PM EST. The lineup picks will showcase elite players, mid-priced options, and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports here. Monitoring injury news and today's MLB starting lineups is always essential.

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Nathan Eovaldi, SP - TEX ($10.5K DK/$10.5K FD)

Nathan Eovaldi is in an elite spot here against the Angels; he is by far the most expensive on the slate, but it is for good reason. He has been a great pitcher for the Rangers, who have been extremely good recently. He has gone four straight starts where he has only given up one run between all four! Including a shutout win over the Angels just earlier this month.

It might be time to start talking about the season Nathan Eovaldi is having:

96 IP
1.50 ERA
0.88 WHIP
27.4 K%
4.9 BB%

The Angels have the third-highest strikeout rate this month against RHP. They also have a relatively low BB% to complement Eovaldi's sub-5 % BB%. The Angels have done well against the Rangers in this series, but I think this is one game the Angels' offense will come to a halt, going up against an elite pitcher in Nathan Eovaldi.

Will Warren, SP - NYY ($7.8K DK/$8K FD)

For our other option, we are going a bit cheaper with Will Warren. Will has a suspicious 4.82 ERA this season, but that ERA drops significantly at home to just above a 3.00 ERA. With him being at home, this makes for an intriguing option against the Rays. The Rays have a high walk rate, and that's the biggest thing we have to worry about here because Warren does as well. If he can avoid the walks, he should make for a solid SP2 option.

The Rays have been a below-average offense against RHP this month and have a pretty poor ISO of .111, which is fourth-worst in the league in that time. Warren's last five starts at home have resulted in 32, 13, 35, 42, and 35 fantasy points. The big thing is the walks here, and if he can get past that, we should be in for some solid value.

Others To Consider (Cash/GPP):

• Bryan Woo, SP - SEA ($10K DK/$10.2K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Jose Ramirez, 3B - CLE ($6.5K DK/$3.9K FD)

Jose Ramirez has been elite as always this season and is getting a great matchup against the lackluster Kyle Freeland. Ramirez is already on a 20 HR and 30 SB season, and we still have over 50 games left to go! He has been an incredible piece to this Guardians lineup.

Stealing home with 2 outs is crazy work 🤯

José Ramírez did the unthinkable against the Royals!

Ramirez has been great against lefties this season, even though he hasn't gone up against many this season. He has a 154 wRC+ to go along with a .391 wOBA and a .530 SLG. Freeland has been rough against RHH this season, and Ramirez is in line for a big game. He is one of my top spend-up options on the slate and makes for an elite stacking option for the Guardians against this Rockies team.

Freddie Freeman, 1B - LAD ($4.5K DK/$3.3K FD)

Freddie Freeman is having a bit of a down year, but he is getting a good matchup here against the righty Nick Martinez. Normally, this would be a spend-up option, but he is pretty affordable on this slate. Freddie has a 143 wRC+ against RHP to go along with a .374 wOBA and a .486 SLG.

Freeman will likely be the first add in my Dodgers stacks in cash games with how well he is batted against righties this season. Martinez, on the other hand, hasn't been great against either side of the plate. He has a .302 wOBA and a .402 SLG to LHH this season. I love Freddie at this price, and anytime I get him here against a righty makes for a great play.

Austin Wells, C - NYY ($3.7K DK/$3K FD)

Austin Wells finds himself in a spot very familiar to him. He has done well against Zack Littell in past matchups. He has four hits in eight ABs against him, with two of those hits being for home runs. He gets the advantage of the short porch in Yankee Stadium, and Littell has been very HR-prone this season, with 26 allowed on the season.

Littell vs LHH this season has resulted in 12 home runs, a .319 wOBA, and a .467 SLG. Wells has also hit 10 of his 15 home runs off of RHP this season, and although he hasn't hit well for average. Wells is still hitting righties for a .410 SLG and .213 ISO, and with his success against Littell, that could continue into this matchup.

• Cal Raleigh, C - SEA ($6.3K DK/$4.3K FD)
• Otto Lopez, 2B(FD)/SS - PHI ($3.4K DK/$2.9K FD)
• Corey Seager, SS - TEX ($4.9K DK/$3.4K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Julio Rodriguez, OF - SEA ($5.5K DK/$3.6K FD)

Julio has been a bright spot for this Mariners offense. Against LHP, he has three home runs in his last 11 ABs. He also has two hits in five of his last seven games and has been very good against LHP with a .496 SLG and .252 ISO this season. Plus, he is benefiting from the Triple AAA park in Sacramento.

Players to have 20+ SB & 15+ HR in their first 4 seasons:

- Julio Rodriguez

That’s it. That’s the list.

Jeffrey Springs has been brutal at home this season, with a 4.27 ERA, and has given up 11 home runs at home. Nine of those were to RHH as well, which he has been hit for a .420 SLG and also has a 47 FB%. Springs better hope that he doesn't leave anything in the zone because with how well Julio has hit the ball recently, he could get smoked in this one.

Kyle Stowers, OF - MIA ($5.6K DK/$3.4K FD)

Miles Mikolas has been a relatively bad pitcher, and Stowers has punished RHP this season. Stowers has a .422 wOBA and an absurd .627 SLG against RHP this season. It is also where all of his 23 home runs have come from. I like Miami as a sneaky stack, and it starts here with Stowers, who has been by far the best against RHP this season for the Marlins.

Mikolas has given up a .332 wOBA to LHH and a .471 SLG. He also has allowed a 1.59 HR/9 this season to LHH. Mikolas isn't a threat in the strikeout department, and with being bad against both sides of the plate, somebody like Stowers should be able to take advantage of him.

Angel Martinez, OF/2B(FD) - CLE ($3.5K DK/$3K FD)

Angel Martinez has been sneaky good for the Guardians. He has been significantly better against LHP this season. Martinez is a great, cheap option for either a Guardians stack or even just as a one-off option. Martinez has a 147 wRC+ against LHP to go along with a .380 wOBA and a .526 SLG.

Freeland is the perfect option to target for Angel, as he has been a terrible pitcher this season. Freeland has been significantly worse against RHH this season, where he has given up 13 of his 14 home runs and a wOBA of .366 and a SLG of .495. I love how cheap Martinez is in this spot, and hopefully, he can take advantage of the situation he is in.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Cody Bellinger, OF - NYY ($5.4K DK/$3.5K FD)
• Shohei Ohtani, OF - LAD ($4.7K FD) (NOTE: He is counted as a pitcher only on DK at $7.5K)
• Andy Pages, OF - LAD ($4.2K DK/$3K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks

1. LA Dodgers (Implied Run Total - 5.5) vs Nick Martinez

The Dodgers have the highest IRT on the slate tonight. They haven't been the best against RHP this month, but since the All-Star break, they have improved quite a bit.

Martinez has been a mediocre pitcher this season, with a 4.69 ERA, and has given up two or more runs in five straight starts, including a 10-spot against the Marlins. Look for the Dodgers to take advantage of the bad pitching and put up a big number at the hitter-friendly park in Cincinnati.

Favorite Combo: Ohtani, Freeman, Conforto, Edman

2. Cleveland Guardians (Implied Run Total - 4.8) vs Kyle Freeland

We don't get Coors for the Guardians, but they are going up against Freeland, who, like most Rockies pitchers, has been terrible.  Guardians, since the All-Star break, have been solid against lefties. They have a 147 wRC+ against LHP with a .377 wOBA and .505 SLG.

I think a lot of people won't take the Guardians with it not being in Coors Field, which should ease the ownership a bit for us.

Favorite Combo: Martinez, Ramirez, Santana, Arias

3. RISKY: Miami Marlins (Implied Run Total - 4.0) vs Miles Mikolas

Mikolas has been so inconsistent this season that it's hard to figure out when he is just gonna blow up, as he has done multiple times this season. The Marlins have been sneaky good recently; they have the seventh-best wRC+ of 113 this month and the fifth-best wOBA at .334. This one is riskier, but all it takes is Mikolas having an off night. Marlins could be a GPP winner if everything goes right.

Favorite Combo: Stowers, Lopez, Sanchez, Ramirez
