Top MLB DFS Picks for July 30

Pitchers

Tyler Glasnow ($10000 on DraftKings, $10600 in Fanduel)

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow will be making his second start since coming off of the 15-day IL. In his first start since injury against the San Francisco Giants on July 24, the tall ace lasted just five innings and allowed two runs.

Despite missing significant time, Glasnow's 147 strikeouts still rank fifth in MLB. Now 8-6 with a 3.47 ERA in nineteen starts, Glasnow will take on the Padres on Tuesday.

Hunter Brown ($9000 on DraftKings, $9800 on Fanduel)

Ever since adding the elusive two-seam fastball to his arsenal, Houston Astros pitcher Hunter Brown has ascended to become one of MLB's top arms. Now 5-1 with a 2.50 ERA in six starts since June 20, Brown's 118 strikeouts lead his club. Now 9-6 with a 4.00 ERA, the 24-year-old Michigander has only allowed three earned runs in his past twelve innings.

Michael Wacha ($8700 on DraftKings, $9100 on Fanduel)

While he may not be his team's top starter, Michael Wacha has contributed to the fact that the Kansas City Royals have one of MLB's best rotations this year. Now in his twelfth season, the 33-year-old Wacha is 7-6 with a 3.65 ERA in 18 starts this season. Tonight, Wacha and the Royals will face the White Sox, against whom Wacha spun seven scoreless innings in his last glimpse of the divisional foes on July 19.

Top Hitters

Yordan Alvarez ($5700 on DraftKings, $3700 on Fanduel)

Over the past ten games, Yordan Alvarez has been the best Astros hitter. On track to best his career-high 37 home run figure, the tall Cuban has hit .324/.390/.568 since the end of the All-Star break. A .299 hitter on the season, Alvarez will head into battle again against the Pittsburgh Pirates after recording another RBI in Monday's loss.

Bobby Witt Jr. ($6400 on DraftKings, $4300 on Fanduel)

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is another player who has been on fire since the end of the All-Star break. Nobody in MLB has hit higher than Witt's .575 figure over the past fifteen days, and the 24-year-old has three homers and 12 RBIs since July 19.

Shohei Ohtani ($6600 on DraftKings, $4800 on Fanduel)

Without Mookie Betts or Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani has put the Los Angeles Dodgers on his back this week. Over the past six games, the reigning AL MVP is hitting .348/.464/.739 with a pair of home runs and 6 RBIs in his past 6 games.

"A Texas-sized home run for Shohei Ohtani! 118.7 MPH, 443 feet" - MLB

Budget Picks

Dylan Moore ($3700 on DraftKings, $2800 on Fanduel)

The pair of RBIs recorded by Dylan Moore in the Mariners' loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday was the 31-year-old's fourth in four games. Currently hitting .207/.308/.402, Moore's 9 home runs and 32 RBIs put him on track for the highest-producing season of his MLB career to date.

Gavin Lux ($3200 on DraftKings, $2900 on Fanduel)

The fact that Gavin Lux seems to have overcome early-season issues is good news for Los Angeles Dodgers fans. Especially in the absence of Mookie Betts, the 26-year-old Wisconsinite has shown poise in the field.

"Gavin Lux since June 22nd: .302-BA/10-XBH/15-RBI/.916-OPS. Super pumped to see him finding his groove" - Fuzzy

A .464 hitter over the past two weeks, few members of LA have been so productive during that time. In addition, Lux has also hit 3 home runs and 8 RBIs in that period and is currently hitting .238/.297/.357 with 6 home runs and 32 RBIs.

Victor Robles ($3300 on DraftKings, $2700 on Fanduel)

Since signing with the Mariners on June 4, Victor Robles has been putting in work. Now a .357/.423/.529 hitter in 32 games with Seattle, the Dominican has managed eight steals. While the pair of homers recorded by Robles is a far cry from his 17 in 2019, the 27-year-old has still shown poise at the plate.
