FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/27/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Euan Leith highlights the top FanDuel MLB DFS lineup picks for 7/27/20, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

Congratulations baseball fans, you made it through opening weekend. Hopefully, you have a little more money in your pockets after following our Rotoballer team's advice. So let's keep the good times rolling with 10 games on Monday's main slate.

We get our first glance at a lot of team's fourth starters today. That means that it should be a good day for the offenses. The Houston Astros get to face Kendall Graveman on the mound and are a favorable stack in today's main slate. So too are Cincinnati right-handed batters against lefty Jon Lester

In this article, I'll be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for the FanDuel main slate on 7/27/2020. Be sure to also check out all the MLB player news and projected and confirmed daily MLB lineups for each DFS slate. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like DraftKings, and other sports too.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Mike Foltynewicz - ATL @ TB ($8,000)

2019 was a bit of a disaster for Mike Foltynewicz, but he has a chance to bounce back in a big way against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. I believe a lot of people will stay away from Folty and get some Rays bats in their lineups. That makes me want the Braves pitcher in my lineup more. It's a bit of a GPP play. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend him in 50/50 contests with some safer options on the slate.

Josh James - HOU v. SEA ($6,700)

I like a lot of bats in today's slate, so I don't mind saving some money at pitcher. Especially when it has the upside of Josh James. He had a 37.6 strikeout rate in 2019 and, today; he gets to take on the Seattle Mariners. They struck out 9.76 times per game last season, and have been sent back to the dugout on strikes 27 times in three games to start 2020.  James may walk a batter here or there, but the strikeouts should more than make up for it. Plus, he's going against Kendall Graveman. If James can make it through five innings, I like his chances of grabbing the win and possibly stretching it to a quality start to begin the year.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Keston Hiura - 2B,  MIL @ PIT ($3,300)

I have been high on Keston Hiura in season-long formats all offseason. So it's time to put my money where my mouth is in daily lineups. Hiura struggled over the weekend and collected one hit in nine at-bats. I believe he is too talented to let this linger into a third game of the season. He and the rest of the Brew Crew will look to take advantage of a plus matchup against Pittsburgh Pirates starter Steven Brault and his career .828 OPS allowed to right-handed batters.

Howie Kendrick - 2B, TOR @ WAS ($2,600)

Howie Kendrick and the Washington Nationals welcome Trent Thornton and the Toronto Blue Jays to D.C. on tonight's main slate. Kendrick pounded righties last year with a triple-slash line of .327/.381/.548. He's 1-for-6 to start the 2020 season, but tonight's matchup could be exactly what he needs to open his home run account. Trent Thornton held his opponents to a .786 OPS last season in 32 games, but also allowed a 4.84 ERA and 1.406 WHIP. I would look to get a couple of the reigning champions in your lineup tonight.

Eugenio Suarez - 3B, CIN vs CHC ($3,400)

Jon Lester is the starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs against the Cincinnati Reds tonight. Jon Lester has nightmares about facing Eugenio Suarez of the Cincinnati Reds. In 42 career at-bats, Suarez has smoked Lester to the tune of a .381/.426/.881 slash line. I'll save you getting out your calculator and tell you that equals a 1.300 OPS. Suarez has six home runs against the southpaw, and it seems like a safe bet that the domination will continue on Monday.

Justin Smoak - 1B, MIL @ PIT ($2,700)

Another Milwaukee Brewer should look to take advantage of a soft matchup on Monday. Justin Smoak gave his managers 17 points on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. It's always nice when a player does well early with a new team. It seems to get all of the doubts out of their head. Smoak will faceoff against Pittsburgh Pirates lefty Steven Brault. He is now three years removed from that All-Star season in 2017, but any glimpse of recapturing that form should get daily players excited.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Victor Robles - OF, TOR @ WAS ($2,700)

In the offseason, whenever you talked about Victor Robles, it seemed that someone else brought up his hard-hit rate from 2019 (FYI, it was in the bottom four percent of the league). You don't need some hard-hitting analysis to tell you that being in the bottom four percent of the league in anything is not ideal. However, that didn't stop him from hitting a fourth-inning, a two-run shot against the Yankees on Sunday. He finished the weekend with a 3-for-4 performance against the pinstripes. Look for him to keep the momentum rolling against another AL East opponent in Trent Thornton and the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

JD Martinez - OF, BOS vs. NYM ($4,000)

I had to swap off Giancarlo Stanton after the Yankees-Phillies game was postponed. J.D. is in a nice spot here against the Mets and Michael Wacha, who gave up a career-high 26 homers last season in St. Louis. Martinez is known as a lefty-masher but has great power from the right side, too, and Wacha has reverse splits.

Kyle Tucker - OF, HOU vs. SEA ($2,500)

Yordan Alvarez is still missing in action from the Houston Astros, and Aledmys Diaz just hit the IL with a groin strain. Throw in the lefty versus righty advantage over Mariners starter Kendall Graveman, and it looks like an excellent recipe for Kyle Tucker to succeed in your lineup. He had a .269 ISO during his late-season call-up in 2019. Kendall Graveman gave up 2.36 HR/9 in 2018 before his Tommy John surgery.
