Top MLB DFS Picks for 14th July: DraftKings and FanDuel ft. Bryce Harper, Chris Sale & more
All MLB teams are in action today, which is good for Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) players. It's the last day before the All-Star break, which means it's the last time to make a DFS lineup for a while. That means it's vital to make the best decisions, and this article is here to help guide you to those decisions.
Top pitchers for MLB DFS July 14
Chris Sale ($8500 on DraftKings, $11200 on FanDuel)
Chris Sale has been incredible this season. The Atlanta Braves ace is 12-3 (best record in baseball) with a 2.74 ERA, 136 strikeouts and a 0.94 WHIP. He needs to be in DFS lineups whenever he starts.
Nick Lodolo ($10300 on DraftKings, $9900 on FanDuel)
Nick Lodolo is a good DFS matchup today. The Cincinnati Reds star is 8-3 with a 3.30 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. He gets the soft-hitting Miami Marlins, so he should be selected today.
Mitch Keller ($9600 on DraftKings, $10400 on FanDuel)
Mitch Keller should probably be picked in any matchup he has for fantasy. He's 10-5, which is an impressive feat for a team under .500. He gets to face one of the worst teams in baseball, too, in the Chicago White Sox.
Top hitters for MLB DFS July 14
Bryce Harper ($5800 on DraftKings, $3900 on FanDuel)
Bryce Harper has been really good this season. He's in the top 13 in baseball in batting average, home runs, RBI and OPS. The Philadelphia Phillies star could challenge for an MVP award and should be in DFS lineups.
Julio Rodriguez ($5200 on DraftKings, $3400 on FanDuel)
Julio Rodriguez has not played well so far this season. He's hitting .267 with 10 home runs and an OPS below .700. However, the Seattle Mariners star is one of the league's best young hitters and should be able to turn in a good performance.
Aaron Judge ($6600 on DraftKings, $4700 on FanDuel)
Aaron Judge snapped his brief cold spell with home runs in back-to-back games. He's hitting .308 and leading baseball in home runs (34), RBIs (85) and OPS (1.114). It's not even the All-Star break yet. Pick the New York Yankees star.
Budget picks for MLB DFS July 14
Nico Hoerner ($4000 on DraftKings, $2700 on FanDuel)
Nico Hoerner is a former top prospect who has a bright future. He's hitting .257 for the Chicago Cubs this year, which is a decent metric. It's hard to find a lot better here.
Wilyer Abreu ($4100 on DraftKings, $2900 on Fanduel)
Wilyer Abreu has a .805 OPS for the Boston Red Sox. It is in a smaller sample size, but not many players with such a solid OPS are available in this price range.
Charlie Blackmon ($4100 on DraftKings, $2700 on Fanduel)
Charlie Blackmon is a former All-Star for the Colorado Rockies and he is batting .256. That's not all that inspiring, but he is a former star with a decent stat line. The options aren't that much better at his price range.
