MLB DFS Picks: Starting Pitcher Rankings for Friday 7/24/26

MLB DFS Picks: Starting Pitcher Rankings for Friday 7/24/26

Published:

By: Sam Connon

The 2026 MLB regular season is past its midpoint. With the All-Star break in the rear-view mirror and playoff races heating up, there is no better time to dive right into the Daily Fantasy action. Pitchers are already ranked by price, with the ones who are projected to perform better eating up more of your budget, but I am here to add my two cents. I have my own DFS rankings for the top 10 starting pitchers in the 10-game Friday night contest that locks at 7:05 p.m. ET.
