We're nearing the MLB All Star weekend, which is right around halfway through the season. Are there any surprises in terms of standings halfway through the season? The Rangers are the biggest surprise team this season in my opinion.

The DFS lineup picks will range from high-priced to low-priced options and identify options who will out-perform their expectations, including sleepers and value plays on DraftKings.

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings
Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays have been heating up recently and they will be playing in Coors tonight. They get a great matchup against Eddie Butler and Toronto is a -145 favorite in a game set at 12.5 runs. They can be stacked in all leagues tonight.
Colorado Rockies - It isn't often a game set at over 12 runs, and the teams need to be used when that happens. The Rockies are projected to lose, but they should score their fair share amount of runs against J.A. Happ tonight. They are another stack that can be used in all leagues.
Baltimore Orioles - The Orioles could go a bit overlooked tonight, as they will be playing in Petco Park. Generally, teams are avoided in San Diego, but the Orioles are -140 favorites in a game set at 8.5 runs. They get an elite matchup against Erik Johnson, and they make a great stacking option.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Corey Kluber - Kluber has been a bit up and down this season, but he has been throwing well recently. The Indians are letting him throw deep into games, and he has thrown complete games in two of his last three starts. He has elite upside, and he's a -170 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs against the Braves. He can be used in all leagues.
Matt Harvey - Harvey is a tough pitcher to roster. He has looked awful for most of the season, but he's extremely cheap and he does have elite talent. He gets a tough matchup against the Nationals, but Harvey is a great GPP option for his low price tag tonight.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Nick Hundley - Hundley is one of the Rockies players that doesn't seem to get the price bump. He has been playing well recently and he gets a great matchup against Happ tonight. Hundley has dominated left-handed pitching this season, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
First Base (1B)
Chris Davis - Davis has been on fire recently, as he's hitting well over .300 in his last 10 games. He is an extremely power player, and he gets an elite matchup against Johnson tonight. Unfortunately, he will be playing in Petco Park, but Davis can still be used in all leagues.
Second Base (2B)
Devon Travis - It's tough to avoid Travis right now. He's hitting over .400 in his last 10 games, and he'll get a great matchup against Butler in Colorado. Travis is an elite option at second base tonight.
Shortstop (SS)
Addison Russell - Russell has been playing well for the Cubs recently. He gets a good matchup against Lamb in Cincinnati's hitter friendly stadium. The Cubs should have no problem scoring tonight, and Russell makes a great tournament option.
Third Base (3B)
Josh Donaldson - Donaldson is hitting over .400 in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Butler in Coors tonight, and Donaldson is an elite option. There's no reason to avoid him if you have the money.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Kris Bryant - Bryant is coming off a ridiculous three home run, two double game last night. He gets another great matchup in Cincinnati again tonight. He will make an elite option in all leagues.
Adam Jones - Jones has been on fire for Baltimore, as he's hitting over .350 in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Erik Johnson, and the Oriole's should have no problem scoring tonight. Jones can be used in all leagues.
Ryan Raburn - Raburn has struggled against lefties this season, but he absolutely dominated them last year. He generally draws the start against them and he gets a good matchup against Happ tonight. He's a cheaper way to get the Rockies in a stack.
