The MLB season’s first half ending this week will bring lots of MLB DFS action to start the week. This Monday’s seven-game slate will start a fiery week of games before the All-Star break. With the MLB All-Star break next week, this week will go well for fantasy players to end the first half with cash prizes.
One of Monday’s feature games for today’s MLB DFS pools is the start of a new series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Atlanta Braves. Another fantasy game for players tonight is the Texas Rangers facing divisional rival, Los Angeles Angels.
The first half of the MLB season is ending this week, and it will end with a bang for MLB DFS fantasy players.
July 8th MLB DFS Best Starts
2B Brendan Rodgers, Colorado Rockies at. Cincinnati Reds ($3,700 – DraftKings)
To start the last week of the first half of the season for MLB DFS players, is Brendan Rodgers. During the loss against the Royals, Rodgers went 1-4 with a double and a run.
While the Rockies are a complete disaster, Brendan Rodgers is quietly becoming a star in Colorado. Rodgers could have a great game against the Reds tonight. Fantasy players could see Rodgers have a multi-hit game against the Reds’ weak pitching.
3B Jose Miranda, Minnesota Twins at. Chicago White Sox ($4,700 – DraftKings)
Another player who should be in your lineups tonight is the Minnesota Twins’ hottest hitter Jose Miranda. Miranda in the win against the Astros went 1-1 in the walk-off win. Jose Miranda has been the hottest hitter for the Twins right now and could do well tonight.
Miranda has been on a ten-game hitting streak and could have another multi-hit game for the Twins. Fantasy players should have Miranda while he is hot.
C Logan O’Hoppe, Texas Rangers at. Los Angeles Angels ($4,300 – DraftKings)
The last player to be on your fantasy lineups this Monday night is the Angels Logan O’Hoppe. In the loss against the Chicago Cubs, O’Hoppe went 0-3 during the shut-out loss.
While the Angels are not doing well this season, Logan O’Hoppe is having a breakout year. Texas has been a weak team, and fantasy players should take advantage tonight for O’Hoppe against them.
July 8th MLB DFS Sits
OF Joc Pederson, Atlanta Braves at. Arizona Diamondbacks ($4,700 – DraftKings)
In tonight’s MLB DFS benchings, Joc Pederson should be one of the players to sit. Pederson in the win against the Padres last night went 0-3 to end the weekend. Arizona has been an inconsistent team this season and Joc could have another bad game.
While Joc Pederson has been doing well this season, he could struggle against the Braves. Atlanta’s pitching could make Pederson owners have nightmares so benching him is a must.
OF Riley Greene, Cleveland Guardians at. Detroit Tigers ($4,900 – DraftKings)
Another player to the bench in tonight’s fantasy pools is the Detroit Tigers, Riley Greene. Greene in the win against the Reds went 0-3 yesterday, costing players cash prizes. Detroit’s hitting has been inconsistent and they could face a tough game against the Guardians.
Cleveland has been getting hot and the Tigers, including, Greene could struggle tonight. Fantasy players could have a long night if they have Riley Greene in their lineups.
SS Elly De La Cruz, Colorado Rockies at. Cincinnati Reds ($6,300 – DraftKings)
To end tonight’s MLB DFS benching, Elly De La Cruz should be sitting from your lineups. De La Cruz in the loss against the Tigers, went 0-4 with a pair of strikeouts. While the Reds have been mediocre, Elly De La Cruz has been inconsistent.
Even against a putrid Rockies team, De La Cruz has struggled against weaker teams. This could be a night in benching the Reds star to win today’s cash prizes.
July 8th MLB DFS Best Stack
The MLB DFS stack to start the week tonight is the Twins, Jose Miranda, Carlos Correa, and Byron Buxton. Minnesota will be facing one of the worst teams in baseball tonight the Chicago White Sox. While the hitting has struggled, tonight could be great for the Twins.
Fantasy players should take this lineup of Miranda due to his hot hitting. Another player is Bryon Buxton due to be fully healthy this season and hitting well. Along with the star power of Buxton and Miranda is Carlos Correa. Correa has been doing well this past weekend and could do well against the White Sox tonight.
