MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/27/24) - Today's Top Lineups

We have a busier-than-normal Saturday with nine games on the main slate, which is in prime time instead of the afternoon.

Nestor Cortes Yields Four Runs In No-Decision

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes was smacked around early Friday night, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings pitched in a 9-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Anthony Volpe Smacks Home Run Friday Night

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe went 2-for-5 Friday night with a solo home run and a single with an additional run scored in a 9-7 see-saw loss to the Boston Red Sox. 2024 looked like a promising sophomore season for the 23-year-old, but Volpe got ice-cold once the weather started to get hot. His […]

Aaron Judge Blasts 36th Home Run Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge blasted his 36th home run Friday night in a crazy back-and-forth affair against the division rival Boston Red Sox.

DJ LeMahieu Taking A Seat On Friday

New York Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox.
