Get ready for Wednesday nightās eight MLB games with the help of my FanDuel daily picks for this June 22.
Today is a jam-packed day of baseball with games spread throughout the day. Ā The first game starts at an early 12:10 PM ET in Miami and the last game doesnāt get underway until 10:00 tonight out in LA. Ā In the middle of what should be over 12 straight hours of baseball, there are plenty of windows to play daily fantasy baseball. Ā For the purposes of my FanDuel daily picks for today, Iāll be focusing on the eight games under the lights tonight in the āMainā competition over on FanDuel. Iāll do my best to run down all the best plays from tonightās 16 teams.

As we continue into the middle of the summer with our expanded 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 NBAĀ 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 points-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.
