July 9, 2026 MLB DFS Picks — DraftKings
13 games · $50,000 cap · Updated Jul 9, 11:59 AM ET
The Almanac's Take
Full 13-game slate with no weather alerts and clean conditions across the board. Manaea at $6,300 is the sharpest pitcher on the value list — a 13.2 projection at that price is the best points-per-dollar ratio among starters, with Keller at $7,500 projecting 8.0 if you want the safer mid-range arm. Caminero and Witt Jr. both project 10.6 at $6,300 and $6,500 respectively, giving you two near-equivalent corner/shortstop options that leave salary to work with elsewhere. No stack data surfaced today, so single-game construction is the move — build around Manaea and pair one of those infielders at your preferred price point.
