It’s Opening Week for the baseball world, as we have you covered for all your fantasy baseball needs.

The MLB season continues with a large thirteen-game slate this Thursday, April 6. To kick things off, the Phillies visit the Reds in Cincinnati at 12:35pm today. At 1:10pm the Royals visit the Twins in Minnesota. At 1:40pm two more games start as the Brewers host the Rockies and the Cardinals host the Cubs. The Tigers will visit the White Sox in Chicago at 2:10pm and the Padres will visit the Dodgers at 3:10pm. At 3:35pm the Angels visit the Athletics and at 4:05pm the Marlins visit the Nationals. The night games kick off at 7:10pm as the Rays host the Blue Jays and the Mets host the Braves. At 8:10pm the Mariners visit the Astros and finishing the night off at a 9:40pm start time, the Diamondbacks host the Giants in Arizona.

To help you find the best daily baseball plays and values almost every morning, you can find my FanDuel picks right here at FanSided. My daily goal is to provide you with the information you need to select the best available options to build your own lineup that can bring home a win.

In order to help you find the position and price point you need, there are a variety of options on each slide such as high-salary options, mid-range options, and high-value options at each position. I base each of my picks on the current form of each player, history against opponent, and the matchups each player will face in their respective contests.

I have found it helpful to rank my picks to show the strength of each selection. For a full explanation of the rating system, please visit the last slide of this post, which will also contain an example lineup for reference. It is highly suggested that you construct your own customized roster with the players you like the most, but you are welcome to use these example lineups as a place to begin.

In my FanDuel MLB picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring. 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.
