Top MLB DFS Picks - July 25
Pitchers
Taj Bradley ($9000 on DraftKings)
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Taj Bradley will make his 14th start of the season on Thursday against the Blue Jays. Due to injuries to top arms like Shane McClanahan and Jeffrey Springs, Bradley has emerged as the gem of his team's rotation this season. Now 5-4, the 23 year-old Bradley has pitched to a 2.63 ERA, and has 90 strikeouts in 75 innings.
Corbin Burnes ($9500 on DraftKings)
Former Cy Young winner and 2024 MLB All-Star Game starter Corbin Burnes will be back in action on Thursday. Set to take on the Padres, Burnes tossed six innings of one-run ball in his last start against the Texas Rangers. Now 10-4, Burnes has pitched to a commendable 2.38 ERA and a WHIP of just 1.03.

Dylan Cease ($9200 on DraftKings)
Over the past 30 days, no starter in MLB has matched Dylan Cease's 143 K's. In his past two starts, the San Diego Padres right-hander has pitched 13 straight innings without allowing an earned run, striking out 21 in that time. Now 9-8 on the season, Cease will make his league-high 22nd start against the O's on Thursday.
Top Hitters
Vladimir Guerrero ($5000 on DraftKings)
If Vladimir Guerrero homers in the Jays' series finale against the Rays on Thursday, it will be his third straight game to do so, and his fifth homer in six games. A .293 hitter on the season, Guerrero's .841 OPS is the highest since he led the league in the category back in 2021.

Shohei Ohtani ($6600 on DraftKings)
National League home run leader Shohei Ohtani was held off the board on Wednesday night. However, the Japanese superstar continues to produce. A .286 hitter since July 1, Ohtani will seek to maintain the NL lead in slugging percentage and OPS as he takes the field for his 101st game of the season on Thursday.
Jose Ramirez ($6100 on DraftKings)
Despite the fact that the Cleveland Guardians have been one of MLB's poorest offensive teams this month, Jose Ramirez remains the team's top hitter. A .250/.268/.375 hitter over his past 10 games, the veteran third baseman leads the team with 24 home runs this season. Ramirez, however, has slugged to a .301 batting average against the Detroit Tigers, against whom Ramirez hit a home run on Wednesday.
Budget Picks
Tyler Fitzgerald ($3700 on DraftKings)
Twenty-six-year-old Tyler Fitzgerald has now homered in five straight games for the San Francisco Giants. Moreover, the utility man's 2.255 OPS leads the entire MLB since the end of the All-Star break. After hitting just .219 in 10 games last season, Fitzgerald is now slashing .322/.390/.600 in 39 games in 2024.

Randy Arozarena ($4200 on DraftKings)
Though he is stealing and hitting less often, Randy Arozarena has actually witnessed his power increase in 2024. The Tampa Bay Rays outfielder now has 15 home runs, which puts him on pace to surpass his career-high figure of 23, which was set last year. Although he is hitting just .209 on the season, watch out for the Mexican to make a difference in his team's series finale in Toronto on Thursday.
Juan Yepez ($3400 on DraftKings)
Since being called up in early July, 26-year-old Juan Yepez has hit .377/.441/.585 for the Washington Nationals. A 12-home run hitter in 2022 with the Cardinals, Yepez is one of MLB's best-value picks for July 25.
