FanDuel Picks For July 26

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 FanDuel 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 26:

Next: FanDuel Pitcher Options

Pitcher Options:

Andrew Heaney, Angels ($7,000): Heaney has been good to me over his past few starts. At the price of $7,000 I feel that he will likely return the most bang for my buck in daily leagues for the 26th. My guess is that in a few more good starts that FanDuel will raise the price on Heaney and likely price me out of using him. For now though, I will take my chances o getting 15 or more fantasy points on a $7,000 investment.

Mark Buehrle, Blue Jays ($7,800): If you are looking to pay just a little more and be rewarded with consistency over upside than look no farther than Buehrle. He has tossed his past seven straight games for over ten fantasy points. Chances are he won’t give you much more than 13 fantasy points, but for the most part you are going to get at least ten. If you have a weak stomach than use Buehrle.

Next: FanDuel Infield Hitter Options

    • Robinson Cano: Mariners ($3,500): I like to use a little formula of mixing a fairly hot and inexpensive player mixed with a fairly decent batter vs. pitcher stat to find some hidden gems to plug into your lineup so you can afford to use the big upside popular guys like Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. Cano is not as cheap as I would like, but he has been pretty hot and also has a solid BVP number. Against Buehrle he has a .286 average with three homers and 11 RBI.

    Logan Forsythe, Rays ($3,200): Coming into the game on the 25th Forsythe had hit safely in six games and has been pretty hot with his bat. He has a decent price tag and has also had good success against Wei Yin-Chen. He has a .300 average in 20 at-bats with two home runs and five RBI.

    Next: FanDuel Outfield Hitter Options

    Outfield Hitter Options:

    Adam Jones, Orioles ($3,000): Jones was really starting to heat up before going hit-less in three games on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Regardless of that short sting Jones has already got a hit on the 25th and gets a familiar face on the mound for the game on the 26th. Jones will square off with Matt Moore who he has faced 19 times in his career. Over those at-bats Jones has nine hits with two of those being home runs, seven RBI, and two stolen bases.

    Mark Trumbo, Mariners ($2,400): Trumbo has started to look a little better as a member of the Mariners as he hit his third homer on the 24th against the Blue Jays. Trumbo seems to be playing better and now he gets a mildly familiar face in Mark Buehrle. He does not have an extensive career against him but has went 6/12 with three home runs and five RBI. That is good enough for me to with a price that I feel like I can make up for with a big name bat in case he fails me.
