Here are theScore's sample daily fantasy lineups for Sunday, June 19:

Cash Game with One Pitcher

POS NAME OPPONENT
P Jacob deGrom (NYM) vs. ATL
C Chris Iannetta (SEA) at BOS
1B Hanley Ramirez (BOS) vs. SEA
2B Derek Dietrich (MIA) vs. COL
3B Jake Lamb (ARI) at pHI
SS Carlos Correa (HOU) vs. CIN
OF Franklin Gutierrez (SEA) at BOS
OF Max Kepler (MIN) vs. NYY
OF Michael Bourn (ARI) at PHI

DeGrom is the best bet for stable, top-end pitching because he gets to face the woeful Braves, but spending up for one of the most expensive pitchers means going cheap in other areas. Notably, it means leaning heavily on cheap outfield options; Gutierrez is a lefty-killer while Kepler and Bourn are so inexpensive that it won't take much for them to return cash game value.

GPP with One Pitcher

POS NAME OPPONENT
P Jake Odorizzi (TB) vs. SF
C Chris Iannetta (SEA) at BOS
1B Miguel Cabrera (DET) at KC
2B Jose Altuve (HOU) vs. CIN
3B Evan Longoria (TB) vs. SF
SS Jonathan Villar (MIL) at LAD
OF Jackie Bradley Jr. (BOS) vs. SEA
OF Shin-soo Choo (TEX) at STL
OF Chris Young (BOS) vs. SEA

Odorizzi doesn't go too deep into games but his strikeout numbers are elite, fanning 74 batters in 78 and 1/3 innings, and the Giants' slugging against RHPs is below average.

The rest of the lineup prioritizes pedigree over recent streaks; every one of these hitters is capable of recording a two-homer or two-steal night with a handful of hits. There is no higher ceiling for a middle-infield tandem than that of the Astros' Altuve and Correa.

Cash Game with Two Pitchers

POS NAME OPPONENT
P Jacob deGrom (NYM) vs. ATL
P Archie Bradley (ARI) at PHI
C Chris Iannetta (SEA) at BOS
1B Paul Goldschmidt (ARI) at PHI
2B Derek Dietrich (MIA) vs. COL
3B Aaron Hill (MIL) at LAD
SS Carlos Correa (HOU) vs. CIN
OF Yoenis Cespedes (NYM) vs. ATL
OF Matt Kemp (SD) vs. WAS
OF Franklin Gutierrez (SEA) at BOS

Pairing deGrom with a cheaper option like Bradley makes a lot of sense financially, especially with the latter having an equally appealing soft matchup. Goldschmidt and Cespedes provide high floors while Iannetta, Correa, Kemp and Gutierrez all hit much better against LHPs, so they can be expected to perform slightly beyond their current salary slot.

GPP with Two Pitchers

POS NAME OPPONENT
P Archie Bradley (ARI) at PHI
P Jake Odorizzi (TB) vs. SF
C Salvador Perez (KC) vs. DET
1B Anthony Rizzo (CHC) vs. PIT
2B Jose Altuve (HOU) vs. CIN
3B Evan Longoria (TB) vs. SF
SS Carlos Correa (HOU) vs. CIN
OF Yoenis Cespedes (NYM) vs. ATL
OF Ryan Braun (MIL) at LAD
OF Shin-soo Choo (TEX) at STL

Perez has five homers and a .500 OBP over his last 10 games, so hope for his magic touch to continue. Longoria has five homers of his own over that same stretch. If the pitchers can play close to their ceilings, the rest of the lineup is packed with players with a combined 18 All-Star appearances and has enough potential to take down a tournament if things break the right way.
