DFS Hitting and MLB Prop Picks from the King for July 2

Published

on

Joe Musgrove looked better in June and his road numbers reflect a more positive DFS outlook. But he is always prone to a blowup start and could be in some danger at Wrigley Field tonight. I would opt for Anthony Rizzo at $4700 on DraftKings and Kyle Schwarber at $4100. Victor Carantini is just $3700 if he is in the lineup. Kris Bryant is worth the $4800, as he is hitting .333 with two homers and five RBI over the past week. Jayson Heyward (4800) is hitting .304 with three homers and 10 RBI in the past week. I will consider several Cubs as DFS GPP plays.

Trent Thornton held down the Red Sox on June 21 in Fenway but I do not believe he will do so again at home, seeing Boston again in such a short time span. Rafael Devers ($4,900) is hitting .556 over the past week and J.D. Martinez ($4600) is at .529 with two homers and five RBI in that span. Jackie Bradley Jr. is at just $3600 and is hitting .500 over the past week and Xander Bogaerts ($4800) is at .357 with two homers and six RBI.  Brock Holt is at $3700 if he is in the lineup.

The Rays will be facing Asher Wojciechwoski, who has not appeared in an MLB game since 2017. He has a 6.64 career MLB ERA. Tampa Bay offers some friendly priced DFS options. Willy Adames ($3900) is hitting .308 with three homers and five RBI over the past week. As noted in our Winners and Losers column today, Kevin Kiermaier ($3700) may be starting to heat up as well. Ji-Man Choi is just $3600 and Brandon Lowe is at $4200 for the lefty/righty split. Yandy Diaz ($4400) is always worth consideration when the Rays are in a spot to fare well.

Zack Wheeler allowed six homers in five June starts with a pair of two-HR games, so you should expect him to surrender at least two longballs against the Yankees. Aaron Judge (4,300) , D.J. LeMahieu ($5300) and Didi Gregorius ($3600) have all homered twice in the past week. Judge and Gregorious give you nice DFS exposure to a powerful lineup against an erratic starter. Their prices are friendly after recent long injury layoffs.

Chase Anderson’s first name is fitting because that what opposing hitters seem to do to him often this year. He only has lasted past 5.1 IP once. The Reds hammered him for six runs on June 21 and should “chase” Anderson again to your DFS delight. Joey Votto is at just $4100 and is hitting .364 over the past week. Eugenio Suarez is at a nifty $4200 and is hitting .364 with three HRs and seven RBI over the past week. Jesse Winker gives you a lefty/righty split at $4000, and so does Scooter Gennett at $3900.

Jose Suarez had a 5.57 ERA in four starts earlier this year and now returns from the minors to face the Rangers. Joey Gallo ($5,500) is is hitting .328 with seven homers and 28 RBI vs. LHPs this year, and Elvis Andrus ($4,600) is at .317 with 12 RBI and 13 runs scored. Both hitters are worth spending up for in DFS tonight.

The Houston/Colorado game is very stackable in DFS tonight from both sides, as German Marquez is way more hittable at home. Houston prospect Jose Urquidy has pitched pretty well in the minors this season, so I lean to the Astros bats in this one. Yuli Gurriel ($4,100) is hitting .350 over the past week and Alex Bregman ($5,000) has hit .348 over that span, as has Josh Reddick ($4,200). You will have to check on the status of Gurriel, though, as an ankle issue caused him to miss Sunday’s game.

Cleveland stacks will also be popular against Jakob Junis. Jason Kipnis ($3600) and Bobby Bradley ($3300) are some DFS salary savers there.

Minnesota bats will certainly get consideration against Daniel Mengden, but the park factor may make it better to steer in some other directions tonight when the schedule is so full. Nelson Cruz ($4,900) is hitting .435 with three home runs and 10 RBI over the past week.

Dodgers bats will get DFS play against Taylor Clarke, too, as he saw them just a week ago. Cody Bellinger ($5,700) homered against him and Alex Verdugo is a very good play at $4400.

The Padres have been hot and should tear up Tyler Beede. Spend in DFS for Manny Machado at $5200. Eric Hosmer ($4,600) is at .481 with nine RBI over the past week. If Greg Garcia ($4,300) is in the lineup, he has hit .308 over the past week.

Monkey Knife Fight Pick of the Day

Let’s have some Subway Series fun here. In my DFS hitting outlook for the Yankees above, I indicated that Zack Wheeler could give up at least two homers. So he may not last long enough to go over 6.5 strikeouts. I will take the under. Wheeler lasted 4.2 innings last time he faced the Yanks and finished at six Ks. Paxton had his worst start of the year against the Mets last month, lasting only 2.2 innings with one strikeout. I’ll take the under on both in another high scoring Subway Series affair.
