DFS MLB DraftKings Lineup Advice for 7/10

For today, July 10th, fantasy owners will have the opportunity to play two evenly split slates, with six games in the afternoon slate(starting at 3:05 Central Standard Time) and six more games in the main slate(kicking off at 6:15 CST). Just like the even split of games, the pitching “aces” are also well divided.

Pitchers

Top-tier

Walker Buehler(Dodgers) $9600 vs Diamondbacks 8-1 record with 2.49 ERA/0.92 WHIP on the season. Despite recent inconsistency(two out of his last three games scoring 15.3 FPTS or less), Buehler is my top choice on this slate.

Freddy Peralta(Brewers) $9200 vs Reds 7-4 record with a 2.23 ERA/0.90 WHIP. Despite the tough matchup, Peralta will look to continue his current seven game streak of scoring 16.6 FPTS or more.

Others I Like 

Zack Greinke(Astros) $7500 vs Yankees 8-2 record 3.64 ERA/1.12 WHIP

Afternoon

As previously mentioned, there are several good pitchers who will toe the rubber as part of this slate. These pitchers include: 1) Lucas Giolito(White Sox-$10300 @ Orioles); 2) James Kaprielian(A’s-$9200 @ Rangers); 3)Trevor Rogers(Marlins-$8600 vs Braves); and 4)Marcus Stroman(Mets- $8100 vs Pirates).

Stacks

Afternoon

My two favorite stacks in the afternoon slate are the White Sox and the Red Sox. The White Sox travel to face the Orioles(Thomas Eshelman), while the Red Sox host the Phillies(Matt Moore). Both Eshelman(7.16 ERA/1.71 WHIP) and Moore(5.60 ERA/1.60 WHIP) have proven to be very favorable matchups for opposing hitters.

Main

The most favorable stack for this slate is the Cardinals. The Cardinals visit the Cubs(Zach Davies). Davies has decent stats(4.29 ERA/1.42 WHIP), but is only one of two pitchers (Vladimir Gutierrez being the other) that have an ERA above 4.00. This slate is one in which the DFS player will have to find value in hitters despite facing difficult opponents.
