With four games this afternoon, there are 11 games in the main DFS competition today, so get your lineup locked in with the help of today’s FanDuel daily picks.
Major League Baseball hits the middle of this week with a little bit of a split schedule with four games on tap for this afternoon before we hit the main DFS competition on FanDuel tonight where we find 11 games under the lights. With 22 teams to pick from, there are still plenty of fantasy baseball options, so check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see some of the players I think are set up to give your lineup a boost on this Wednesday, June 8.

Lineups on FanDuel lock at their usual time tonight at 7:00 PM ET with four games getting underway. There is no rainfall forecasted for any of the early games, so go ahead and pick freely from the early wave. The four 8:00 starts include the only game with any weather concerns which is the Twins and Marlins which could hit some weather if the game goes long like last night’s extra inning affair. The night closes out with a trio of West Coast contests with an NL matchup (Rockies @ Dodgers), an AL matchup (Indians @ Mariners), and an interleague tilt (Red Sox @ Giants) to close out the night.
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.
