Happy Sunday, RotoBallers! This afternoon, we have a loaded nine-game slate on DraftKings but just an eight-game slate on FanDuel. DraftKings added the Royals vs. Twins game, so there may be some players in here who are only available on DK.

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Zack Wheeler, SP - PHI ($11.4K DK/$10.8K FD)

Zack Wheeler is the most expensive on the slate for good reason. He has posted a 2.64 ERA on the season with a K/9 of 11.73. He gets a great matchup here against the Rangers, who have struggled against RHP since the All-Star break. They have the fifth-worst wRC+ against RHP at 89 and have put up a near 23% K%.

The Rangers have a sub-300 wOBA as well, and they are in for a tough night if they continue to struggle, as Wheeler is one of the best in the game. He will have no issue giving the Rangers a hard night. The only downside is his price, but given that he has put up 40+ fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games, I wouldn't be surprised to see him continue that trend.

Quinn Priester, SP - MIL ($9.7K DK/$9K FD)

I thought about going with Casey Mize in this spot, but I ended up going with Quinn Priester, as they are relatively close in similarity matchups. Priester has been much better overall recently. Priester has pushed six or more innings in five of his last seven games and even put up seven innings in three of them. Priester has a lower K% at only 19.7%, but the Mets have seen their K% rise since the All-Star break, as it's up to 23.7%.

Quinn Priester has been an absolute revelation over his last 10 starts:

10-0
75.2 IP
2.27 ERA

The Mets, like the Rangers, have a wRC+ of 89 and a low .290 wOBA. Priester has posted a 3.15 ERA on the season so far, but has induced a high 57.8% GB%. As long as Priester can keep them off the basepaths, he should have no issue going far into this game, and if the Brewers lay into Sean Manaea like I expect them to, he should get the win as well.

Others To Consider (Cash/GPP):

• Casey Mize, SP - DET ($8.8K DK/$9.1K FD)
• Ryan Bergert, SP - KC ($6.8K DK)

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Shea Langeliers, C, ATH ($5.5K DK/$3.3K FD)

I'm going to keep riding the hot hand like Andy did in yesterday's article. Shea Langeliers is on an unreal run at the moment. He just launched his ninth home run in his last 14 games. He also finished with three total hits in yesterday's game. He is going up against lefty Cade Povich, who hasn't been good this season with that 6.23 xERA.

— MLB Network (@MLBNetwork) August 6, 2025

Against LHP this season, he has a 189 wRC+ with a 1.054 OPS. It is a bit harder to hit toward the left side of the field, but that didn't seem to stop Langeliers from hitting one yesterday. Off the lefty four-seamer, Langeliers has an xSLG of .755. This is a smash spot for Langeliers once again and has shown to be worth every penny of that $5.5K salary on DK.

Jeremy Pena, SS, HOU ($4K DK/$3.2K FD)

Jeremy Pena is a critical part of this Houston Astros offense. They may have lost yesterday's game, but he did homer, and Pena has been significantly better against LHP this season. He has a .520 SLG and .399 wOBA against them. If this were Max Fried in the first half of the season, I wouldn't touch this, but Fried has regressed quite a bit since then.

His last six starts have resulted in two earned runs or more, and this Astros offense is due for a big game. Pena can be the start of that in the leadoff spot. I'm expecting a regressing Fried to get hit hard by this Astros offense, who are clinging to life in the AL West lead.

Daniel Schneemann, 2B/OF, 3B/SS (FD Only), CLE ($3.3K DK/$2.7K FD)

Daniel Schneemann has been looking a lot better recently. He has eight hits in his last six games, three of those being extra-base hits. He is getting a loaded matchup here against Davis Martin, who has a 5.70 ERA and has posted a 90.3% Z-Contact%. Players are hitting off him extremely well in the zone.

Martin hasn't necessarily been worse against one side of the plate or the other, but I like the LHH on this Guardians team quite a bit. LHH has a .430 SLG and .330 wOBA off Martin this season. Schneemann at his price is a steal, and if he can stay hot, then this should be a big scoring night for him.

• Zach McKinstry, 3B/SS, 2B/OF (FD) - DET ($3.7K DK/$2.9K FD)
• Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B/3B - NYY ($5.1K DK/$3.6K FD)
• Agustin Ramirez, C - MIA ($4.5K DK/$3.1K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Tyler Soderstrom, OF - ATH ($4.5K DK/$3K FD)

Tyler Soderstrom had an elite start to the season before cooling off a bit before the All-Star break. Soderstrom has 13 hits in his last 11 games, including two home runs. Both of those homers came off lefties as well. Cade Povich has been extremely good to target. This season, he has a 6.23 xERA and has a HardHit% of 49.8%. He is also pushing out a 14% Barrel%, which is the highest on the slate outside of Jose Urena.

Soderstrom being able to hit the reverse split has been nice, as it keeps him in the lineup every day, not that he wasn't already. Developing that skill, though, is a big step for his game. Lefties also have a positive park factor here in Baltimore, making Soderstrom one of the most intriguing plays on the slate.

Kerry Carpenter, OF - DET ($4.1K DK/$3.2K FD)

Kerry Carpenter has had a couple of rough games in L.A. so far, but that shouldn't stop him from beating up on Jack Kochanowicz. He has an extremely high 10.15 H/9 this season and has been hit hard, especially by LHH. Kochanowicz has posted a .500 SLG and .375 wOBA against him by lefties alone.

Carpenter has pretty much platooned against RHP this season and posted a .557 SLG and .365 wOBA. Carpenter is in line for a big game and a bounce-back in L.A. after a few duds.

Kyle Isbel, OF - KC ($2.1K DK)

Kyle Isbel has come out of the woodwork and has started hitting the ball extremely well. He currently has a seven-game hit streak, during which he has 12 hits in that time. He isn't a power hitter, but his ability to get on base and even get the occasional steal has boosted his scoring.

He is near the minimum price, so the risk is very low, but his upside is big. Isbel has been hitting in the nine hole, but if he continues to hit well, he might see himself move up the lineup. He is going against Jose Urena and a very poor Twins bullpen; this is a money spot for the Royals and Isbel.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): 

• Kyle Schwarber, OF - PHI ($6.2K DK/$4.2K FD)
• Cody Bellinger, 1B (FD)/OF - NYY ($5.5K DK/$3.5K FD)
• Steven Kwan, OF - CLE ($4.1K DK/$3K FD)

DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks

1. Detroit Tigers (Implied Run Total - 5.4) vs. Jack Kochanowicz

This Tigers team hasn't been quite as explosive as they were to start the season, but they have shown flashes of it still being there. They get an elite matchup against Jack Kochanowicz, and the lefties should be able to feast upon him and his high 10.15 H/9.

Favorite Combo: Carpenter, McKinstry, Torkelson, Greene

2. Athletics (Implied Run Total - 4.4) at Cade Povich

Like I've mentioned throughout the article, Cade Povich has been bad, and this Athletics team has been extremely good. They have a wRC+ of 143 against LHP since the All-Star break and put up 11 runs on the Orioles just yesterday. This team is hot, and I would hate to be on the other side of it right now.

Favorite Combo: Langeliers, Rooker, Soderstrom, Kurtz

3. Kansas City Royals (Implied Run Total - 5) at Jose Urena/Bullpen

This bullpen has been one of the worst in the league, and it only got worse at the deadline with pieces like Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax departing. It's surprising Jose Urena has a spot on any major league roster, as he has been terrible as well. The Royals should be able to score a ton of runs on them, and it would be a huge missed opportunity if they don't.

Favorite Combo: Witt Jr., Yastrzemski, Isbel, Perez
