Daily Fantasy Baseball 2015: Best MLB DFS DraftKings Lineup for July 29

DraftKings players should go hard on the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday afternoon. The Tribe hosts the Kansas City Royals, and you have to love their chances to put up solid fantasy numbers.

The Royals will send veteran pitcher Jeremy Guthrie to the mound, but he hasn't fared well against the Indians hitters. Brandon Moss, Michael Brantley, Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana are all hitting over .300 against Guthrie. 

Those numbers haven't been compiled in limited at-bats. Each man has had at least 16 at-bats against Guthrie in his career. Overall, Guthrie has been a nightmare on the mound this season with his 5.36 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.

Smart DraftKings players will stack their lineup with Cleveland position players.

Position	Player	Opponent	Salary
P	Felix Hernandez	Arizona	$11,200
P	Jon Lester	Colorado	$9,100
C	Jonathan Lucroy	San Francisco	$3,000
1B	Carlos Santana	Kansas City	$3,900
2B	Jason Kipnis	Kansas City	$4,700
3B	Aaron Hill	Seattle	$2,200
SS	Brandon Crawford	Milwaukee	$3,700
OF	Michael Brantley	Kansas City	$4,600
OF	Brandon Moss	Kansas City	$3,400
OF	Carlos Gomez	San Francisco	$3,600

Brandon Moss ($3,400) vs. Kansas City Royals

No Indians position player has mashed Guthrie as much as outfielder Brandon Moss. He's had just 16 at-bats against the veteran right-hander, but he's racked up three home runs and a double. Moss hasn't hit for much of an average this season at .220, but he does have 15 home runs.

While Moss has hit for a much higher average against lefties this season, 11 of his 15 home runs have come against right-handed pitching. He looks to be a solid pick for Wednesday.

Jason Kipnis ($4,700) vs. Kansas City Royals

Few second basemen have been as consistently good as Jason Kipnis this season. He's been especially tough to get out at home. After his second straight three-hit ballgame on Tuesday night, Kipnis is hitting .370 at home and .750 in his last two games.

When you couple that with his .440 batting average and 1.063 slugging percentage against Guthrie, Kipnis is worth every virtual penny of his $4,700 DK salary.

Michael Brantley ($4,600) vs. Kansas City Royals

Aside from the inactive Nick Swisher's 51 at-bats, Michael Brantley has had the most chances against Guthrie with 32. Brantley has hit .313 against the veteran in his career.

In the Indians' loss on Tuesday night, Brantley had two steals to go with a hit and a walk. He'll be in a good position to add to his stolen-base total against Guthrie. Over the last three seasons, opponents have stolen 22 bases with Guthrie on the mound and have only been thrown out 11 times.

Look for Brantley to produce a solid all-around fantasy performance on Wednesday.

Felix Hernandez ($11,200) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

July has been a solid month for Felix Hernandez. The Seattle Mariners ace hasn't allowed more than two runs in any start this month. He'll be facing the Arizona Diamondbacks at home at Safeco Field, where Hernandez has been tough to beat.

His ERA at home is 2.48, opponents are hitting just .198 against him there and Hernandez is averaging 27.6 fantasy points per game in his starts in Seattle.

He'll keep the trends alive with another strong outing.

Brandon Crawford ($3,700) vs. Milwaukee Brewers

Brandon Crawford is locked in at the plate, and he's the best choice at shortstop. He's riding a seven-game hitting streak. During that stretch, he's had three home runs, seven RBI and has scored six runs.

On a larger scale, Crawford is hitting .325 since the All-Star break. He doesn't have great numbers against Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Michael Fiers, but Crawford is swinging the bat so well that it won't matter.
