Get your weekend off to a good start by checking out my FanDuel daily picks to help power you to a DFS fantasy baseball win on this Friday, June 10.
Major League Baseball is back with a full Friday night of hardball action after some teams took the day yesterday to travel and get ready for their weekend series. All 30 teams are on the board tonight for daily fantasy baseball, so there are lots of options to go through in my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. Ā My picks are designed to highlight the players with the current form and past track record that sets them and your fantasy team up for success tonight.

The action tonight starts at 7:05 with seven games scheduled to get underway in the 7:00 hour. Ā There are a few divisional matchups like the Orioles @ Blue Jays and the Cardinals @ Pirates as well as an unusual interleague series between the Athletics and the Reds. Ā In the 8:00 window, there are three games highlighted by an AL Central showdown between the scuffling Royals and the surging White Sox. Ā To wrap up the evening, there are four games scheduled for 9:40 or later on the West Coast including the Dodgers and Giants meeting in San Francisco and the Rangers and Mariners tangling in Seattle. As far as weather goes, the only serious threats of rain are in Colorado where the Padres visit the Rockies and in Minnesota for the Red Sox-Twins game. The Rockies look like theyāll be able to get the game in even if it is delayed, but things are much less certain for the Sox and Twins in Minnesota where a rainout looks very possible. If you go with any players from those two games must make sure to keep an eye on the forecast.
As we continue into the dog days of summer with myĀ fullĀ fantasy baseball coverage, my FanDuel daily picks will be posted each morning here at FanSided. My picks areĀ designedĀ to provideĀ 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 withĀ high-salary options, mid-range options, and high-value options at each position. For starting pitchers and outfielders, Iāve separated my picks into high-salary and high-value options on separateĀ slides while the other positions each get one slide per position with multiple pricing options. Ā I base each of my picksĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the matchups each player will face in tonightās contestĀ game.
In my daily basketball picks, it was very helpful to rank my picks every morningĀ using stars after each selection to show the strength of the pick. Iāll continue that rating system as I move over to cover fantasy baseball. Ā 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-dollarĀ basis). Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how Iām putting together the my most confident picks into my lineups for todayāsĀ competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but youāre welcome to check outĀ my lineups and use them as a place to get started.
