MLB DFS Pitching Picks
MLB DFS Stud Pick
Zac Gallen ($9,000) Arizona Diamondbacks (-340) vs. Colorado Rockies
Of the 16 starting pitchers on the main slate this Saturday, Gallen has the highest median, ceiling, and floor projections on the slate in our FantasyLabs projections and in THE BAT X from Derek Carty of RotoGrinders. Gallen also has the highest Projected Plus/Minus in both sets of projections since his salary is relatively affordable at just $9,000, the fourth-highest on the slate.
Gallen’s Diamonbacks are the heaviest favorites on the board, according to our Vegas Dashboard, and the Rockies have the lowest implied run total.
The matchup is a huge plus in Gallen’s favor since the Rockies have been miserable at the plate all season. Despite the Coors Field factor, they have scored the fewest runs in Major League Baseball, averaging only 3.13 runs per game. On the road, they have been an even better matchup, averaging just 2.0 runs per game while going 2-21 with a .184 team batting average and 28.9% strikeout rate.
Gallen has had his ups and downs this season but should be able to deliver in this matchup. He is 3-5 in nine starts with a 4.59 ERA but a better 3.93 FIP and 3.64 xERA, which indicate he has pitched a little better than his ERA shows. His strikeout rate is solid at 9.5 K/9 after racking up 54 strikeouts in 51 innings.
In his last start, the Dodgers knocked him around and handed him the loss, but before that, he had back-to-back strong outings against the Mets to earn 28.5 and 26.5 DraftKings points. He should be set to bounce back Saturday.

MLB DFS Value Pick
Ronel Blanco ($7,800) Houston Astros (+120) at Texas Rangers
Blanco has a top-five Projected Plus/Minus in the FantasyLabs projection along with a top-five ceiling, median, and floor projection even though he doesn’t have a top-five salary at the position. He also comes into this road matchup in Arlington with good momentum.
Blanco looked masterful in his start last Sunday against the Reds, allowing just two hits in eight shutout innings and posting a career-high 11 strikeouts. He finished with 42.2 DraftKings points in that outing while improving his record to 3-3 on the season.
His 4.04 ERA and 4.12 FIP are a little inflated due to some rough outings early in the year, but his 2.83 xERA shows he has limited hard contact. He has been trending the right way with at least six strikeouts in three straight starts and at least 14 DraftKings points in four straight appearances, culminating in last Sunday’s masterpiece.
He’ll look to build off that outing in a tough road matchup against the Rangers, where he comes in as the underdog. However, the Rangers’ lineup isn’t at full strength and has been held to four runs or fewer in four of their last five games, including in each of the first two games in this series.
Blanco has a high ceiling, and if his strikeout totals remain elevated, he also brings a very solid floor on the road on Saturday night.
Now available: our MLB DFS SimLabs Lineup Generator that creates advanced DFS lineups using the power of simulation.
MLB DFS GPP Pick
Landen Roupp ($6,800) San Francisco Giants (-131) vs. Athletics
Roupp has the second-highest Projected Plus/Minus of the starting pitchers in THE BAT X projections, and he also matches the second-most Pro Trends on the slate coming into Saturday’s home start against the Athletics.
In his eight starts, Roupp is 2-3 with a 4.95 ERA, 4.01 FIP, and 3.42 xERA. He has only allowed a 30.3% hard-hit rate and picked up 42 strikeouts in 40 innings. The 26-year-old righty has done almost all his work on the road, with his last three outings coming in San Diego, Chicago, and Minneapolis.
Roupp has worked at least five innings in five of his last seven starts and flashed a high ceiling with 30.2 fantasy points in an outing against the Angels in April. He gave up nine earned runs in 14 1/3 innings over his last three starts and took the loss in two of those outings, but this should be a spot where he can bounce back at home against the A’s.
The Athletics are a fairly neutral matchup, ranking in the middle of the pack in most categories and splits. They only managed one run in the series opener and have dropped three straight while scoring a total of six runs.
In this matchup, Roupp will likely have low ownership but brings enough potential that he’s a GPP bargain to consider. Not only does he have some upside himself, but he also saves plenty of salary for other pay-up plays.

MLB DFS Hitters and Stacks
Notable Stack
With the Lineup Builder, it’s easy to incorporate stacks into DFS rosters.
Also, don’t forget that for large-field tournaments, you can utilize our Lineup Optimizer to effortlessly create up to 300 lineups.
The top DraftKings stack in the FantasyLabs MLB Player Model, when generated by projected points using the tournament model, belongs to the Los Angeles Dodgers:

The Dodgers dropped the opener of this version of the Freeway Series on Friday night, but they are in a good spot to bounce back on Saturday night and make a good stacking target, although they definitely don’t come cheaply. They’ll face former Dodger Tyler Anderson ($8,200) on Saturday, who is 2-1 in eight starts with a 2.58 ERA but a 4.59 FIP and seven home runs allowed in eight outings.
Anderson’s reverse splits actually show that lefties have a good matchup against him since they are hitting .289 with a .452 wOBA and have hit four of his seven homers allowed in just 41 plate appearances. That plays to the Dodgers’ strengths, especially with Shohei Ohtani ($6,600) and Freddie Freeman ($6,300) locked in.
Ohtani has been red hot with eight homers in his last 11 games. During that span, he has a .378 batting average, a .587 wOBA, and a 36.1% barrel rate. He has the highest median, ceiling, and floor projection of all hitters this Saturday and is the heart of the Dodgers stack for Saturday.

Other MLB DFS Hitter Picks
One of the great features of being a FantasyLabs Pro member is the option to purchase additional items in the FantasyLabs Marketplace.
In addition to our in-house MLB projections, THE BAT X from Derek Carty of RotoGrinders is available in our marketplace. With this purchase, you can use his projections alone or create aggregate projections within our Player Models.
For this example, we created a 50/50 blend with THE BAT X and the FantasyLabs projections to pinpoint some hitters that stand out.

Corbin Carroll OF ($6,100) Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies (German Marquez)
Carroll always brings a high ceiling with his power and speed combo from the top of the D-Backs’ batting order, and he is a great pay-up play on Saturday night against Marquez and the Rockies.
On Friday, Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, and 15 DraftKings points. he has three multiple-hit games in his last four and has produced double-digit fantasy points in eight of his last 12 contests. He went 15-for-48 (.313) during that stretch with a .459 wOBA and a 52.6% hard-hit rate.
He stole a base in each of his last two games and is up to seven stolen bases to go with his 14 homers, giving him multiple ways to go off for a big fantasy day.
Marquez has allowed 36 runs in 37 innings this season, going 1-6 with a 1.70 WHIP and 5.20 xFIP. He has been hit by both lefties and righties, and his struggles haven’t been related to Coors Field, as his road ERA is 10.53.
The Diamondbacks and Dodgers are both strong options to consider at home on Saturday night, and here’s how Arizona’s lineup looks in our PlateIQ tool, which I think looks especially sharp in dark mode:

Jordan Lawlar SS ($2,300) Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies (German Marquez)
Another option that stands out in Arizona’s lineup is Jordan Lawlar, who is an outstanding value play if he gets the start and creates a wraparound stack, potentially hitting right in front or Carroll if he hits ninth as expected.
Lawlar is 0-for-4 in his two games since joining the D-Backs earlier this week, and he did not play on Friday. The former top prospect still brings a lot of upside based on his exceptional numbers at Triple-A earlier this season. He was limited by injury last year, so the team started him in the minors this season. He hit an impressive .336 with six home runs, 15 doubles, two triples, 13 stolen bases, and a .433 wOBA in 37 games for the Reno Aces before his promotion earlier this week.
If he starts against Marquez, he could be a great bargain option, and he has the highest Projected Plus/Minus at shortstop on the entire slate since his salary is barely over the minimum.
Taylor Ward OF ($3,200) Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers (Clayton Kershaw)
Ward has the fourth-highest Projected Plus/Minus in the outfield on Saturday night and brings a very nice ceiling against the Dodgers. He and the Angels will take on veteran lefty Clayton Kershaw in his first start of the season.
In four of his last five games, Ward has exceeded salary-based expectations, going 7-for-20 (.350) with a 50% hard-hit rate. He has 10 homers on the season with a .305 wOBA and has power potential against Kershaw.
Last season, he hit .325 against lefties with a .375 wOBA, and that has been the strong side of his splits throughout his career. The fact that he’s struggled against southpaws this season is likely just a result of a small sample size. Since he’s picked it up lately, he makes a good value play on Saturday’s slate.

Jon Jones bodycam footage shows UFC star threatening cop after shock retirement reveal

The Albuquerque Police Department released bodycam footage from the scene of a February accident that they allege UFC star Jon Jones fled and then threatened a public safety aide over the phone.
The footage, obtained by the Albuquerque Journal, is related to the criminal complaint accusing Jones of leaving the scene of the crash involving an unnamed woman, which was filed last Tuesday in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court.
An Albuquerque police officer responded to a traffic incident and discovered a woman in the front passenger seat of one of the cars “exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down,” the complaint stated, per the Albuquerque Journal.
The woman told the officer that Jones “was the one driving” her car and handed him the phone to speak with Jones.
Police said Jones, “the fighter,” threatened a safety aide over the phone, according to the outlet.
Jones wouldn’t answer questions about his identity from the officer, and it’s unclear exactly what was said.
The officer was heard saying Jones was “making threats” over the phone.
He “appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties” to the public safety aide, the court record stated.
“My car is wrecked,” the woman added.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, Jones said during an interview with police days after the incident that the woman had left his house earlier in the day intoxicated and called him after getting in the crash.
Jones added that the person the woman handed the phone to “immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual’s claim.”
The star fighter, who confirmed his retirement Saturday at the age of 37, has been charged with misdemeanor fleeing the scene of an accident, and his bond arraignment hearing is set for July 24.
Jones’ attorney denied his client was driving the car, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
It’s unclear if the situation is linked to Jones’ retirement.
UFC president Dana White did not mention the legal matter when he revealed Jones’ retirement during a press conference Saturday, saying that Tom Aspinall is the new heavyweight champion.

The partnership between the NFL and Netflix continues with the return of the sports docuseries Quarterback. After missing out on the 2024 season thanks to the release of Running Back, Quarterback returns for a second season on Netflix in July 2025 and will follow QBs Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow, and Jared Goff.
Netflix’s NFL series Quarterback is produced by NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions. Peyton Manning is the executive producer for Omaha Productions. Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher, and Keith Cossrow are executive producers for NFL Films.
When is Quarterback season 2 coming to Netflix?
Netflix has confirmed that Quarterback will return for a second season on July 8th, 2025!
Which NFL Quarterbacks will feature in season 2?
The first season featured quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Marcus Moriata of the Atlanta Falcons, and Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings.
Season 2 will see the return of Kirk Cousins, who now plays for the Atlanta Falcons and will be joined by quarterbacks Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions.

Picture: Joe Burrow (left) and Jared Goff (right) –
Burrow has been the QB of the Bengals since 2020, leading them to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports. Despite missing out on the 2024 playoffs, Burrow had his best season with the Bengals, registering a career-best 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns.

Goff led the strong Detroit Lions team to the playoffs, registering a 15-2 in the regular season and winning the NFC North Conference. However, the Lions lost in the playoffs to the Washington Commanders, who Marcus Moriata now plays.

After Quarterback’s first season, Kirk Cousins spent one more year with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons. His record at the Vikings ended with 50 wins, 37 losses, and one tie in the regular season. His playoff record was one win and two losses.
His first season for the Atlanta Falcons saw him register a franchise record when he threw for 509 passing yards in a single game in October 2024 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Francis Ngannou has sent a message to Dana White following Jon Jones’ shock retirement from the UFC.
For several months now, Jon Jones has been front and center of one of the biggest sagas in UFC heavyweight history as he continued to refuse to fight interim champion Tom Aspinall.
Things seemed as though they had come to an end earlier this month when Jones appeared to announce his retirement during a storm on X (formerly Twitter).
However, this past Saturday following the UFC’s first ever event in Baku, UFC boss Dana White finally announced that Jones has officially retired from the sport, upgrading Aspinall to the undisputed champion.

Dana White slams Francis Ngannou following Jones’ retirement
Immediately after the news, Aspinall broke his silence with a post on social media, guaranteeing fans that he will be an active champion and get the heavyweight division moving again.
Despite that, there aren’t many current contenders that fans are chomping at the bit to see the British heavyweight fight.
However, one fighter that would be welcomed back to the UFC with open arms by the fanbase, is Francis Ngannou. ‘The Predator’ recently teased that he would be interested in a comeback but it was briefly shut down by Dana White at the time.
Following UFC Baku, White once again spoke about the likelihood of Ngannou returning, saying: “One thing I’ve learned over the years about Francis, Francis doesn’t always mean what he says publicly behind the scenes are different than what he says publicly.
“I’m not a big fan, I would be shocked if Francis ever came back here, on lots of different levels, I’m not a fan and he doesn’t always mean what he says publicly.”

Francis Ngannou sends a message to Dana White following comments
Although the former UFC heavyweight champion may have been open to a return to the promotion despite leaving on bad terms with the boss, following Dana White‘s words on Saturday, that is highly unlikely.
Responding to White, Ngannou took to social media, saying: “Did I say I’m ever coming back?”
A fan then told Ngannou to come back to get his UFC heavyweight title back, to which he responded: “I don’t remember losing it, mate. It’s still in my closet.”
A fight between Aspinall and Ngannou may have been the next best thing after a fight between Jones and Aspinall, however, it remains to be seen who the Brit will defend his title against in his first official defense.
