With at least 82 games played for each team, we have officially reached the halfway point of the 2016 season.

MLB DFS Plays for 7/4/16
Independence Day’s baseball festivities begin with an exceptionally early afternoon contest that likely will not be included in most daily fantasy baseball slates.
