Top pitchers for MLB DFS July 7
Tarik Skubal ($9100 on DraftKings, $10700 on FanDuel)
Tarik Skubal is a good DFS pick every time he starts. He's one of the best in baseball, and the Detroit Tigers ace has a 9-3 record, 2.45 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 119 strikeouts already.
Grayson Rodriguez ($9800 on DraftKings, $10800 on FanDuel)
Grayson Rodriguez has been very good this year for the Baltimore Orioles. He is 10-3 with a 3.45 ERA and 97 strikeouts so far. The Orioles also have a great team, so he's likely to pick up a win in the stat line for today.
Dylan Cease ($10000 on DraftKings, $9900 on FanDuel)
Dylan Cease is another good fantasy pick. He's been solid for the San Diego Padres this year, racking up the fourth-most strikeouts in the MLB so far. He should have a good outing today.
