Major League Baseball has a busy Monday in store for today with a matinee in Pittsburgh at 12:35 and ten games on tap for tonight. Those ten games with 20 teams make up the main DFS fantasy baseball competition and will be the focus of my FanDuel daily picks for this Monday, June 27.

This Monday shapes up to be a soggy one across the country, so make sure to keep your eye on the weather forecasts as we get near the 7:05 lineup lock for FanDuel tonight. The Rangers and Yankees in New York could be a high-scoring slugfest in the early window but is threatened by rain along with the Mets visiting Washington and the Braves hosting the red-hot Indians.  The Rays and Red Sox also meet in the 7:00 hour but will be playing indoors and the Reds host the Cubs at 7:10 in what should be dry Cincinnati.  In the 8:00 hour, the Royals and Cardinals meet in a interleague in-state rivalry matchup, and the slugging Blue Jays visit the rarified air of Coord Field. Out West, we finish out the night with three games as the D-Backs host Philly, the Angels take on the Astros, and the Giants and Athletics meet in a battle of the Bay.

As we continue moving quickly through the MLB season and come up to the All Star break in just a couple of weeks, make sure to stay tuned to all our fantasy baseball coverage.  My FanDuel daily picks will continue to be posted most mornings right 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.

I’ve found it very helpful to rank my picks every morning for whatever sport I’m writing about using stars after each selection to show the strength of the pick. I’ll continue that rating system as I move over to cover fantasy baseball. 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-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 throughout this Monday due to weather or other concerns. As lineups come out throughout this evening, I’ll adjust my team if necessary and let you know my new lineups on Twitter.
