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 July 7:

Pitcher Options:
Brett Anderson, Dodgers ($7,900): Anderson has been stellar his last two starts and has been over ten points in his last four. He did really well the last time I suggested him and he is a solid option for the price. He is one of my favorite options going Tuesday and has a good match-up with the Phillies.
Taijuan Walker, Mariners ($8,100): Walker has been one of the mor consistent options in all of baseball over his last five starts. He has finished with over 15 fantasy points in five straight contests and in double digits in his past seven. I am slightly shocked that FanDuel has not raised the price on him yet. I guess it is because while he has been consistent he has only had one game with 20 fantasy points in that span.

Dee Gordon, Marlins ($3,200): Gordon is a pretty reasonably priced option for the infield tomorrow. He has been playing pretty decent lately and also has a solid 5/16 mark against Wade Miley with one stolen base. He should measure up just fine for us in Tuesday’s game. He has also stolen three bases dating back to July 3.
Cesar Hernandez, Phillies ($3,200): While Hernandez remains at $3,200 and is as hot as he has been he will be a great option. I will likely keep using him in my lineups until one or the other gives. He has no specific data that points to a good performance, but sometimes guys just stay hot against all odds. Until he burns me or FanDuel raises his price I like him.
Next: FanDuel Outfield Hitter Options

Outfield Hitter Options:
Denard Span, Nationals (3,300): Span is a decent option for us for Tuesday’s game. He has hit safely in six of his last seven games heading into July 6. He also has a solid 5/10 mark against Johhny Cueto. He should be a solid bet for three to five fantasy points.
Melky Cabrera, White Sox ($2,600): I know that I suggested Cabrera yesterday and as of the writing of this post I do not know he did in his July 6 game. He is a solid option for us still regardless as he continues to play well. He also has a solid career mark against Blue Jays’ pitcher Felix Doubront. He has gone 3/8 with a home run and 4 RBI against him. That is not a long track record, but for the cheap price that we draft Cabrera here it allows us to chase some more certain big name players at other positions.
