July 25 – MLB Daily Fantasy Picks:
Below find some of today’s MLB Daily Fantasy matchups and our best picks:
MLB Daily Fantasy: Best Infielder - Trea Turner
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Jose Ramirez | +230 |
| Brandon Lowe | +230 |
| Trea Turner | +235 |
| Austin Riley | +235 |
Odds as of July 25 at [Sportsbook not available for your region]
Trea Turner vs his old Washington Nationals is certainly the best value on the infielder board tonight.
In the last two weeks, Turner is hitting .333 with a .667 slugging percentage, knocking four dingers in his last nine games. In three games against his old Nationals team, Turner has a .930 OPS with five RBIs. We’ll look for him to keep punishing the team that traded him last year.
MLB Daily Fantasy: Best Pitcher - Tony Gonsolin
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Tony Gonsolin | +230 |
| Sean Manaea | +230 |
| Aaron Ashby | +240 |
| Max Fried | +230 |
Odds as of July 25 at Sportsbook
This is your friendly reminder that Tony Gonsolin has quietly been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year.
He’s 11-0 on the season with a 2.02 ERA and .843 WHIP. In this fantasy betting format, which values wins and run suppression, a guy like Gonsolin is certainly the best bet. Add in that he’s facing the lowly Washington Nationals and it’s a near lock.
