DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider
Justin Verlander - vs LAA (DK - $12,600, FD - $10,800)
Verlander has been throwing at an elite level recently, as he has an 8-1 record, 1.70 ERA, and 10.7 K/9 over his last 10 starts. He gets a solid matchup against the Angels tonight, and Verlander is a -163 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. He's an elite option in all leagues on the slate tonight.
Rich Hill - vs SF (DK - $9,400, FD - $9,500)
Hill has had his ups and downs this season, but he has thrown well at home. Through 12 home starts, Hill has a 5-5 record, 3.19 ERA, and 10.3 K/9. He has found some success against the San Francisco Giants, who he will be playing tonight. Hill is currently a -220 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs. He can be used in all leagues on this slate.
DFS Infielders to Consider
Chris Iannetta - C, vs MIA (DK - $3,600, FD - $2,400)
Iannetta has quietly been playing extremely well recently, as he's hitting over .300 with a small amount of power over his last 10 games. He has found some success at home this season, and he gets a great matchup against Adam Conley in Arizona tonight. Iannetta makes a decent option in all leagues for his price tag.
Freddie Freeman - 1B, vs PHI (DK - $5,500, FD - $4,200)
Freeman has casually been playing well over his last 10 games. During that span, he's hitting around .300 with quite a bit of power. He has also been a dominant hitter at home this season. He gets a great matchup against Ben Lively in Atlanta's hitter friendly stadium, and Freeman can be used in all leagues.
Neil Walker - 2B, vs CHC (DK - $3,600, FD - $3,100)
Walker has been struggling a bit recently, but he will return to Milwaukee tonight. Through 14 games in Milwaukee, Walker is hitting well over .350 with a slugging percentage slightly below .750. He gets a good matchup against John Lackey tonight, and Walker makes a high upside option on this slate.
Justin Turner - 3B, vs SF (DK - $4,600, FD - $4,100)
Turner is currently dealing with an injury, but he is expected to suit up tonight. Turner has been an elite hitter in Los Angeles this season, as he's hitting well over .300 with an OPS north of 1.000 this season. He gets a solid matchup against Jeff Samardzija tonight, and Turner can be used in all leagues if he is able to play.
Richard Urena - SS, vs NYY (DK - $3,200, FD - $2,500)
Urena is an interesting option. He has played in limited games this season, but he's hitting over .400 with a slugging percentage over .650 at home in those games. He gets a decent matchup against Masahiro Tanaka, and Urena makes a solid salary relief option tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider
J.D. Martinez - OF, vs MIA (DK - $5,600, FD - $4,600)
Martinez has been one of the best hitters in the MLB over his last 10 games. During that span, he's hitting nearly .350 with an OPS nearing 1.200. He's an extremely powerful option that benefits from playing in a hitter friendly stadium. He gets a great matchup against Adam Conley tonight, and Martinez can be used in all leagues.
Brandon Nimmo - OF, vs WAS (DK - $3,300, FD - $3,200)
Nimmo hasn't been hitting for the highest average over his last 10 games, but he has found ways to stay fairly consistent. He has also displayed solid upside over that span, as he comes with a bit of power and speed. He gets a good matchup against Edwin Jackson, and Nimmo can be considered in all leagues tonight.
