In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/8/16. You can also see our FanDuel 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 DraftKings. Well, let's get down to it!

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Colorado RockiesThe Rockies are always a great stacking option when they are playing in Coors. They get a good matchup against Velasquez, who has struggled recently, as well. Colorado is a -129 favorite in a game set at 11.5 runs, and they are a great stacking option in all leagues.

Philadelphia PhilliesThe Phillies don't have a great offense, but they are a great option in Coors tonight. They get a good matchup against a struggling Jon Gray, and the Phillies are an offense with great upside. They are the underdog, but the game is set at 11.5 runs, and they can be used in all leagues.

Miami MarlinsThe Marlins may go a bit overlooked tonight because of the low over/under. That is low because of Jose Fernandez, though, and Miami should be able to score plenty of runs off of Dan Straily. They are best suited for GPPs tonight, though.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Jose Fernandez - If Fernandez is on the slate, he should be considered. He has been an elite pitcher at home this season, and he is one of the best strikeout pitchers in the MLB. He gets a good matchup against the Reds, and he's a -263 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Noah SyndergaardSyndergaard is dealing with an injury in his elbow, but that didn't seem to bother him in his last fight. He gets a tough matchup against the Nationals, but he's a -108 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs. He has been an elite pitcher this season, and he can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Cameron RuppRupp has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .350 in his last 10 games. He has also displayed good power over that span, and he gets a good matchup against Gray tonight. Rupp can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Pedro AlvarezAlvarez is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games. He's a powerful player, and he's hitting in a great offense. He gets a decent matchup against Shoemaker, who is coming off a terrible start, and Alvarez can be used in all leagues tonight.

Second Base (2B)

Cesar HernandezHernandez is playing as well as anyone on the Phillies offense over his last 10 games. He's hitting nearly .500 and he's a player with a ton of speed. He gets a great matchup against Gray in Coors, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Jose ReyesReyes is a cheap option because of his terrible matchup against Strasburg. He has looked great since returning to New York, and Reyes is a player with a ton of upside. He's best suited for GPPs tonight, though, because of the tough matchup.

Third Base (3B)

Javier BaezBaez is a player that can start at multiple different positions for the Cubs. That helps him get in the lineup, and he has been on fire recently. He has a good combination of power and speed, and Baez can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Carlos GonzalezCarGo is the best option for the Rockies tonight. He has been on fire over his last 10 games and he has been an elite hitter in Coors this year. He gets a good matchup against Velasquez, and CarGo can be used in all leagues.

Hyun Soo KimKim has been flying under the radar this season, but he's hitting .336, including an elite .370 batting average in Baltimore. He gets a decent matchup against Shoemaker, and Kim has been playing well over his last 10 games. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Brandon NimmoNimmo has looked good since getting called up by the Mets. He has displayed good consistency along with decent upside. He gets a tough matchup against Strasburg, but Nimmo has looked good against some elite pitchers this year. He's best suited for GPPs tonight, though.
