DraftKings prices came out before Clayton Kershaw was placed on the DL. That means the Rockies price tags are all extremely low, such as Carlos Gonzalez, who is only $3.4k tonight. Instead of a dreadful matchup against Kershaw, they get a good matchup against Bud Norris, and they may be a team to use tonight.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for DraftKings on 7/1/16. 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. Well, let's get down to it!

DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings
Colorado Rockies - The Rockies are a sneaky stack tonight. They are priced as if they are facing Clayton Kershaw, but instead they get a matchup against Bud Norris. Norris has struggled quite a bit this season, and the Rockies are a high upside stack that comes at a discount tonight.
Boston Red Sox - The Red Sox continue to be one of the best teams in the MLB, and they get an elite matchup against Chacin tonight. They will also be playing in Boston, where they are a significantly better offense. They are huge -202 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they are an elite stacking option tonight.
San Francisco Giants - The Giants get an elite matchup against Shelby Miller tonight. He has looked awful this season, and they will be playing in Arizona's hitter friendly stadium. The Giants are -168 favorites in a game set at 8.5 runs, and they can be used in all leagues.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Julio Teheran - Teheran has been an elite pitcher this season, as he has a 2.46 ERA and an 8.4 K/9 through his first 17 games. He gets a decent matchup against the Marlins, and Teheran has looked outstanding over his last few games. He can be used in all leagues.
Nathan Eovaldi - Eovaldi has looked awful this season, as he has a 5.19 ERA through his first 15 starts. He has thrown well in games that he doesn't give up many home runs, though, and he'll be playing in one of the most pitcher friendly stadiums in the MLB tonight. He's a -136 favorite in a game set at only 8 runs, but he is a GPP only option.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Buster Posey - Posey has looked great recently for the Giants. He's hitting well over .300 in his last 10 games, and he'll be hitting in an extremely hitter friendly stadium tonight. He's a safe option with good upside, and he can be used in all leagues.
First Base (1B)
Chris Davis - Davis has been on fire recently, but his price doesn't represent that. He has displayed elite power this season, and he gets a good matchup against LeBlanc. Davis his left-handed pitching as well as he hits right-handed pitching, and he can be used in all leagues.
Second Base (2B)
Ramiro Pena - Pena has looked outstanding in the few games he has been in the Majors. He will likely start tonight for Joe Panik, who is injured. Pena has displayed good consistency with good upside, and he's a player that is entirely too cheap, and can be used in all leagues.
Shortstop (SS)
Marcus Semien - Semien has been on fire recently, and he has also been a better hitter at home this season. He gets a great matchup against Locke, and Semien has dominated left-handed pitching this season. He has an elite combination of consistency and upside.
Third Base (3B)
Nolan Arenado - Arenado's price is ridiculous because he was supposed to play Clayton Kershaw. Instead, he gets a great matchup against Bud Norris with a low price tag. He has been hot recently, and Arenado can be used in all leagues, as he's entirely too cheap tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Mike Trout - Trout is as hot as anyone in the MLB right now, as he is hitting over .450 in his last 10 games. He gets a tough matchup against Steven Wright, but Trout is an elite hitter and matchup proof when he is on fire. He can be used in all leagues.
Carlos Gonzalez - CarGo's price is ridiculous because he was supposed to be playing Kershaw. He's hitting over .400 with good power and speed over his last 10 games, and he gets a great matchup against Bud Norris. He should be used in all leagues.
Brandon Nimmo - The Mets recently called up Nimmo, who is one of their best prospects. He gets a tough matchup against Hammel, but Nimmo will lead off for the Mets if Granderson is out, and he's the minimum price. He has looked decent since getting called up, and he's a good option for his low price tag.
