Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for July 9, 2015 (FanDuel and DraftKings)

This is a quick and simple guide to help you find players for your daily fantasy baseball teams.

I give you at least 2 Pitchers, 1 player at each infield position, and 2 Outfield options. I list my top pick first and then descending order from there. I also suggest a team to stack, and a "Must Play" player.

Make sure to check lineups and a player's status before inserting them into your lineup. Also, check weather reports to make sure games aren't postponed. This guide is only here to help pick potentially successful players, and is not guaranteeing you any monetary success.

 Pitchers

Zack Greinke, Dodgers

Should easily get the win today.

Cody Anderson, Indians

ERA of 0.76 and a WHIP of 0.63 in three starts this season. Averaging 8 IPs per game.

Catcher

Yasmani Grandal, Dodgers

Severino Gonzalez and his .371/.402/.543 opponent slash in 105 ABs.

A.J. Pierzynski, Braves

Kyle Kendrick + Coors Field

First Base

Jose Abreu, White Sox

Has 3 HRs off of R.A. Dickey in 6 ABs. Dickey gave up 5 ER in 5 IP against the White Sox earlier in the season.

Adrian Gonzalez, Dodgers

Severino Gonzalez and his .371/.402/.543 opponent slash in 105 ABs.

Second Base

Howie Kendrick, Dodgers

Severino Gonzalez and his .371/.402/.543 opponent slash in 105 ABs.

Third Base

Justin Turner, Dodgers

Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies

He's at home against a leftie.

Outfielders

Cameron Maybin, Braves

Kyle Kendrick + Coors Field

 Kyle Kendrick + Coors Field


Stack

TODAY IS ALL ABOUT THE STACKS! 

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Severino Gonzalez, Phillies

 The Dodgers are facing the worst right-handed pitcher they've seen this series against the Phillies...which is saying a lot! Stack up on guy like Grandal, Turner, A-Gon and even take a shot on Jimmy Rollins for a cheap option at shortstop.

 Atlanta Braves vs. Kyle Kendrick, Rockies

The Braves are facing Kyle Kendrick in Coors Field. Have fun with this one!

Must Play

Cameron Maybin, OF, Atlanta Braves

MLB Hat Designs Based Off of Marvel Character's Costumes and Hometowns

Image
I was bored this morning. That's how a lot of things start. I was looking at hats on New Era's website and realized that they have a place where you can design your own hats. Here's the link:  newerabyyou.com As I was going through different teams and designs, I wondered if they had any superhero logos that I could throw on to one of the designs? They did, but it was only Batman and Superman. I wanted more, so I decided to research Marvel hero's hometowns. I didn't have to search long because somebody already put together a full map. Here's the link: http://www.mtv.com/news/1856402/marvel-characters-hometown-map/ I ended up designing close to 30 hats based off of the Marvel character's hometown team and the colors and characteristics of each hero. Be forewarned that there are A LOT of New York hats, but you can't blame me for Stan Lee thinking superheroes are only born in New York City. Also be forewarned that the design options are fairly limited, s...

Colorado Rockies' All-Time Greatest Position Players

Image
Here's my attempt to list the greatest Colorado Rockies players of all-time by position. I took into consideration a player's offensive production, defensive capabilities, and tenure with the Rockies. Let's get this Blake Street party started! C, Chris Iannetta Colorado hasn't had a premier Catcher for more than a season or two at a time, but Chris Iannetta finds himself as the Rockies' All-Time greatest catcher based off of his tenure and semi-decent productivity. He leads all Rockies catchers in Hits (336), Home Runs (63), RBI (236), Walks (241), and he's 10th All-Time (any position) in Rockies' history with a .357 OBP. His high On-Base% is due to him being a magnet for pitches, being hit by 40 pitches while with the Rockies. He never blossomed into the catcher the Rockies hoped for, but hopefully he'll find more success with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Runner-Up: Yorvit Torrealba Torrealba brought a contagious energy to the Rockies...

Jamie Moyer Aims to Make History with the Colorado Rockies

Image
The year is 1986. Ronald Reagan is the President of the United States of America, with George Bush Sr. as Vice President. The average price for a gallon of gasoline is $0.93, and the population of the United States is 240 million people. The top grossing movie is Top Gun, and the lead actor, Tom Cruise, is an up-and-coming actor with Catholic beliefs. There are 26 major league baseball teams, with the best team being the New York Mets. Fast forward to the year 2012. Since 1986, we've had a total of 12 years with a Bush as President. Gas prices have gone up $3.00 per gallon, and we've added 72 million people to the U.S. population. Top Gun is now considered a cult classic, and Tom Cruise is now a Scientologist who enjoys making Mission Impossible sequels, which there are three of now. There are now 30 major league baseball teams, with the worst team being the New York Mets. Jamie Moyer's Rookie Card A lot has changed since 1986, but there is at least one thing that r...
