FanDuel Picks For June 29

More from DFS

Welcome back to the best place to get fantasy sports advice across multiple sports. Today I am going to give you my best picks and choices for your FanDuel lineups that I can. My advice is based purely on mathematical and statistical analysis and I try to avoid using player biases and so forth.

NOTE: these picks are based solely on statistics. Some players have never faced their opponents, or have very little experience against them. I am not saying that none of those are good picks. This is based on statistical analysis only. If you have a gut feeling, then by all means, follow that. This is not an exact science.

Here are my FanDuel picks for June 29:

Pitchers:

Clay Buchholz, Red Sox ($8,600): Buchholz is pitching very well lately. In his last two outings he has scored over 14 fantasy points a piece. He is pitching on the road but for the most part that has not mattered to him. The Blue Jays have been playing well lately, but both teams are 6-4 in their last ten and this should be a good chance for Buchholz to shine.

Mike Leake, Reds ($6,400): Mike Leake has been pitching just as well as anyone who is available tomorrow. At his price tag of $6,400 he is probably the guy I will be using tomorrow. Leake has been pitching just as well at home as on the road and gets the twins in the comfort of his home field.

    • Jose Altuve, Astros ($4,000): Altuve is in the midst of a mini seven game hitting streak. Ever since he sat out four games he has come back and been pretty hot. In this span he has also stolen four bases, hit a home run and scored seven runs. I am going to ride him in daily leagues while he is hot.

    Manny Machado, Orioles ($4,200): Machado is another player that I am going to ride while I can. He is also riding a nine game hitting streak of his own where he is tearing it up. With 14 HR and 11 stolen bases it is looking more and more like Machado is on his way to notching a 20/20 season and is batting .303 so far on the season.

    Next: FanDuel Outfield Hitter Options

    Outfield Hitter Options:

    Mookie Betts, Red Sox ($3,600): Mookie Betts has been in the midst of a nice hot streak lately. He has gone his last two games without a hit, but I believe that he will break out of that mini slump tomorrow. Betts is 4/14 against the Blue Jays R.A. Dickey and usually sees him and hits him pretty well.

    Alejandro De Aza, Red Sox ($2800): De Aza is a pretty nice option for tomorrow as he comes to us at the cheap price of $2,800. He has hit safely in his last four games and has gone yard in his last two. He also has a career average of .364 against Dickey.

    As always we thank you for stopping by and wish you FanDuelers the best of luck!
