FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/31/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome back RotoBallers. This Sunday, we have a full slate of MLB games to pick from. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 7/31/16.

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 FanDuel.

Editor's Note: RotoBaller offers the best Premium MLB Subscription - only $1.99 per week. All the tools you need to help win your seasonal and daily leagues: Hitter & Pitcher Streamers, Matchup Ratings for every player, Under-the-Radar Surgers for AVG, HR, Ks, plus daily DFS Cheat Sheets, Lineup Picks, Expert Lineups, Stacks and Avoids. 

 

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target for FanDuel

Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers get a great matchup tonight against the Kansas City Royals and Dillon Gee. Gee is one of the worst starting pitchers in the league this season, and the Rangers are really starting to find their groove. Use them in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds do not hit all that well away from home, but tonight is an exception. The San Diego Padres are pitching Paul Clemens, and he has struggled on the season with a 4.82 ERA, 1-1 record, and only 14 strikeouts. The Reds should be able to get the better of him.

Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies are a solid, under-the-radar tournament stack tonight against the Atlanta Braves and Casey Kelly. Kelly is really struggling on the mound, the Phillies have some decent tournament hitters, and they should be under-owned tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider for FanDuel

Noah Syndergaard

Noah Syndergaard is the best pitcher on the board tonight, as he faces off against the Colorado Rockies in New York. The Rockies do not hit well away from home, and Syndergaard has proven his elite level status this season.

Michael Pineda

This did not work in Ivan Nova's favor, but the Tampa Bay Rays really do struggle against right-handed pitching. Michael Pineda has been solid of recent, and he should be able to shut them down. Do not let one decent effort from the Rays' offense hinder this potential high-upside selection.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider for FanDuel

Catcher (C) - Evan Gattis

Evan Gattis makes for a great option in tournaments tonight against the Detroit Tigers and Mike Pelfrey. Gattis is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games, and he has a ton of power and upside.

First Base (1B) - David Ortiz

This should be fairly obvious at this point. Big Papi sat out last night for the Boston Red Sox, so he should be rested up and ready to go tonight against Skaggs and the Los Angeles Angels. He obviously has a ton of power and upside, but he can also be used in 50/50 contests.

Second Base (2B) - Trea Turner

Trea Turner is playing quite frequently for the Washington Nationals right now, and over his last 10 games, he is hitting over .300. On the season, he is hitting over .300 as well. He has double-digit fantasy points in four of his last four starts, and he should be able to do some damage tonight against Matt Cain and the San Francisco Giants.

Shortstop (SS) - Didi Gregorius

Didi Gregorius makes for a great 50/50 option tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. With Blake Snell on the mound, the New York Yankees should produce runs. Gregorius is cheap and hitting over .300 in his last 10 games. He is very likely to hit value.

Third Base (3B) - Wilmer Flores

With Jose Reyes out for the next 15 days, Wilmer Flores is going to take over at third base. He has a ton of power and upside. On the season, he is hitting slightly over .250 with 10 home runs and 27 RBIs. Do not use him in 50/50 contests. He is a tournament only option.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider for FanDuel

Starling Marte

Starling Marte has been absolutely on fire of recent, and he should be able to hit without a problem against Matt Garza and the Milwaukee Brewers. In his last 10 games, he is hitting .389 with one home run and five RBIs. Throw in five stolen bases over that time span, and his upside is endless.

Hunter Pence

Hunter Pence is finally back in action for the San Francisco Giants, and this could not have come at a better time for the struggling World Series championship contenders. Pence has huge upside, and on the season, he is hitting .298 with seven home runs and 36 RBIs. Use him in tournaments.
