Major League Baseball is back with a full 30-team slate tonight giving us plenty of options for daily fantasy baseball, so check out my favorites in my FanDuel daily picks.

After a ten-game slate last night, all 30 teams in the Major Leagues are back in action tonight on a full Tuesday night of action.  With all 30 teams in action under the lights tonight, there are lots of players to consider for your daily fantasy baseball team.  To see who I think makes the most sense for your lineup, check out my FanDuel daily picks  on the following slides.

Lineups on FanDuel lock at their usual time tonight at 7:00 PM ET when six games are scheduled to get underway. Four more first pitches are schedule in the 8:00 window with five more from the West Coast starting at 9:40 or later. At this point, the only game with real weather concerns is the Yankees and Angels in the Bronx, but even that is expected to be light rainfall, so there’s no need to avoid the game unless the situation gets much worse as the day goes on.

As we continue into the dog days of summer with my full fantasy baseball coverage, my FanDuel daily picks will be posted each morning here at FanSided. My picks are designed to provide you the information you need to build your own lineup that can bring home a win for your team. In order to help you find the position and price-point that you need, there are a variety of options on each slide with high-salary options, mid-range options, and high-value options at each position. For starting pitchers and outfielders, I’ve separated my picks into high-salary and high-value options on separate slides while the other positions each get one slide per position with multiple pricing options.  I base each of my picks on the current form of each player and the matchups each player will face in tonight’s contest game.

In my daily basketball picks, it was very helpful to rank my picks every morning using stars after each selection to show the strength of the pick. For a full explanation of the rating system, check out the last slide of this post, but in short, more stars means more confidence (on a point-per-dollar basis). Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how I’m putting together the my most confident picks into my lineups for today’s competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but you’re welcome to check out my lineups and use them as a place to get started.

In my FanDuel daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on the fantasy baseball hub.

If you have any questions about my picks for today or any of our FanSided fantasy coverage, you can leave them at the bottom of the page in the comments section.  For an even quicker response, you can find me throughout the day on Twitter @FansidedFantasy. Make sure to follow on Twitter for any late-breaking lineup news as well and any adjustments as lineups come out later on this Tuesday.

If you find my picks and analysis helpful and would like to check out my DFS fantasy baseball posts each morning, the easiest way to find the FanDuel daily picks is to drop a bookmark on our fantasy baseball hub or follow on Twitter where I’ll tweet out the links each day when my picks go live.
