Today is a full day of MLB action. I give you a mix of some must-start and some sleeper picks that should help mold your perfect lineup for DraftKings games on Saturday July 28th.

 

Offenses to Target for DraftKings Stacking

Oakland Athletics LHB vs Jeremy Guthrie

The left-handed batters in the Athletics lineup hold a top ten offense against right handed pitching, with a wRC+ of 113. This looks like a great matchup against Jeremy Guthrie. Guthrie has been far from consistent, and holds a 5.90 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP on the year. 10 of the 12 home runs he has given up this year have been to lefties. Opposing lefties have also hit .341 on the year against Guthrie. Take full advantage of this and load up on quality batters from the Athletics’ lineup. Josh Reddick looks like a great pick in the outfield while Ike Davis should be a potential sleeper pick at first base.

San Francisco Giants Middle of the Lineup vs Kyle Kendrick

The San Francisco Giants hold the second best offense in the league against right handed pitching, with a wRC+ of 111. The Giants seem to do well despite key components of the offense coming in and out of the lineup. The Giants are matched up against Kyle Kendrick. Kendrick has not had a good year and holds a 5.96 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP. He has given up at least seven hits in each of his last three starts. Kendrick has also not been able to strike anyone at all. With this in mind, guys like Buster Posey and Brandon Belt should be in an excellent position to drive in runs on Sunday.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for DraftKings

Zack Greinke (SP, LAD) - $10300

Zack Greinke makes for a great pick as your primary starting pitcher on Sunday. He has been one of the best pitchers in the league this season and holds a 1.70 ERA with a 0.93 WHIP. Greinke should have a nice day on the mound against the struggling Miami Marlins. The Marlins have just lost Giancarlo Stanton to a hand injury. The Marlins already had the second worst offense in the league against right handed pitching, with a wRC+ of 80. With this in mind, Greinke should very easily breeze through this lineup and provide plenty of value for his high investment price.

David Price (SP, DET) - $11000

If you pass up on Zack Greinke as your ace pitcher, David Price also makes for a great pick. Price has terrific numbers on the year with a 2.42 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. He looks to continue his performance against the Chicago Sox. The White Sox have by far, the worst offense in the league against left-handed pitching, with a wRC+ of just 52. Price also has some nice numbers against the bigger names in the White Sox lineup. Expect Price to be worth the investment and provide plenty of fantasy points on Sunday.

DFS Infielders to Consider for DraftKings

Wilin Rosario (C, COL) - $2900

Wilin Rosario looks like an excellent bargain pick at the catcher position on Sunday. On the year, Rosario holds a .299 average with 5 home runs and 16 RBI. He should definitely be behind the plate on Sunday as he had just received a day off on Friday. He also has great career numbers against opposing pitcher Madison Bumgarner. Rosario is a career 10 for 31 with a home run against Bumgarner. At Rosario’s current investment price, he definitely deserves a look due to the current state of low production from the catcher position.

Mitch Moreland (1B, TEX) - $4000

Mitch Moreland has been heating up as of late. Moreland holds a .306 average with 9 home runs and 35 RBI.  Moreland has also hit 2 home runs in his last three games heading into Sunday. Moreland has hit right-handed pitchers extremely well this year, as he is currently batting .321 against righties and .274 against lefties. Moreland should have a nice day at the plate against opposing pitcher Drew Hutchison. Hutchinson has been extremely inconsistent this year and holds a 5.33 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP.

Ben Zobrist (2B, OAK) - $4400

Ben Zobrist has been one of the hottest players in baseball. The Athletics offense has been clicking as a whole, and this has given Zobrist plenty of chances to drive in runs and score runs himself. Zobrist is now hitting .253 on the year with 5 home runs and 28 RBI. Zobrist should continue his great on Sunday against opposing pitcher Jeremy Guthrie. Against Guthrie, Zobrist is a career 13 for 44.

Evan Longoria (3B, TB) - $3900

Evan Longoria looks like a great bargain pick at the third base position for Sunday. Longoria is 6 for his last 16 and holds a .276 average with 7 home runs and 33 RBI on the year. Longoria should do well against opposing pitcher Justin Masterson. Masterson has recently returned to the Boston roster, after posting a 6.37 ERA with a 1.67 earlier this year in seven starts. Longoria has hit Masterson well in his career, going 8 for 25 with 2 home runs.

Troy Tulowitzki (SS, COL) - $3800

Troy Tulowitzki continues to be undervalued on DraftKings. Tulo has provided great consistency at the shortstop position. He has a ten game hitting streak heading into the weekend, and now holds a .317 average with 8 home runs and 40 RBI. Tulo is hitting a tremendous .383 average in the month of June. Tulo has also dominated opposing pitcher Madison Bumgarner in his career. Against Bumgarner, Tulo is 10 for 26 with 2 home runs.

DFS Outfielders to Consider for DraftKings

JD Martinez (OF, DET) - $4700

JD Martinez has been on fire as of late. He is well worth his current price tag as his home runs have continued to pile on. Martinez has six home runs in his last five games heading into the weekend, and now owns a .274 average with 19 home runs and 46 RBI. He is in a great position to produce RBI hitting in the middle of the stellar Detroit offense. With this in mind, we should continue to ride the hot bat and start him against opposing pitcher Jeff Samardzija. Samardzija has turned in some better performances as of late, but he remains extremely hittable despite the better control.

Mike Trout (OF, LAA) - $4400

Mike Trout is a must start on Sunday against opposing pitcher Felix Hernandez. Despite Hernandez’s pedigree, Trout has dominated King Felix in his career. Trout is a lifetime 20 for 55 with three home runs against Hernandez. At Trout’s current price tag, he comes at a great bargain for your secondary outfielder. Trout now holds a .303 average with 19 home runs and 42 RBI. Expect him to continue his great play on Sunday.

Carlos Gonzalez (OF, COL) - $3700

Carlos Gonzalez looks like a great sleeper pick as your tertiary outfielder. He has had some recent concerns with a hand injury. However, he returned to the lineup in style with a 5 for 5 night on Friday. Gonzalez has been looking much more comfortable at the plate as of late, and now holds a .253 average with 10 home runs and 28 RBI. Gonzalez also has very nice career numbers against opposing pitcher Madison Bumgarner. Against Bumgarner, Gonzalez is 14 for 40 with 5 home runs.
