DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

The top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftDaily on June 15, 2018. Justin Bales' MLB DFS analysis and sleepers for building optimal DFS rosters.

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. Before creating a lineup, make sure you look over the scoring system.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftDaily on 6/15/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

Give Draft Daily a try today to see the difference and join the excitement. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @BalesSJustin.

Draft Daily - DFS Starting Pitchers

Corey Kluber - P, vs MIN ($13,600)

Kluber has been playing at an elite level this season, owning a 10-2 record with a 1.99 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP. He also possesses a 1.1 HR/9 to go along with a 9.3 K/9. He has been a better pitcher at home this season, and he has already found success against the Minnesota Twins. He's a -218 favorite in a game set at 7.5 runs, giving the Twins an implied run total of only 3.0 runs. Kluber can be used in all leagues.

Ross Stripling - P, vs SF ($9,800)

Stripling continues to throw at a high level through 19 games (eight starts). In those games, he has recorded a 5-1 record with a 1.65 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. He also holds a 0.8 HR/9 with a 10.8 K/9 through 60 innings. Stripling still comes with a relatively low price tag, but he has flashed tremendous upside in recent games. He's a -211 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs tonight, and Stripling can be used in all leagues.

 

Draft Daily - DFS Infielders

Tyler Flowers - C, vs SD ($3,100)

Flowers isn't hitting for a high average over his last 10 games, but he has flashed consistency. He also owns a tremendous 63% hard-hit rate and a 96 mph exit velocity over the last 15 days. Furthermore, Flowers owns 0.165 wOBA and 0.023 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching. He gets a good matchup against Clayton Richard, and Flowers can be used in all leagues.

Albert Pujols - 1B, at OAK ($3,500)

Pujols is far from a consistent option, but he comes with tremendous upside. He owns 51% hard-hit and 40% fly ball rates over the last 15 days. Pujols also possesses a 95 mph exit velocity over that same span. He has been a better hitter against right-handed pitching, as well, and Pujols makes a high upside tournament option for a reasonable price tag.

Yoan Moncada - 2B, vs DET ($3,700)

Moncada has been ice cold recently, but he can always be considered against right-handed pitching. He features 0.097 wOBA and 0.115 ISO differentials against righties. He also possesses 39% hard-hit and 42% fly ball rates over the last 15 days. Moncada gets a solid matchup against Mike Fiers tonight, and Moncada can be used in tournaments tonight.

Joey Gallo - 3B, vs COL ($4,000)

Gallo struggled on paper recently, but his peripherals show a different story. Over the last 15 days, Gallo owns an elite 72% hard-hit rate with a 97 mph exit velocity. He's a powerful player that is always a home run threat. He also gets a solid matchup against Chad Bettis, and Gallo owns 0.05 wOBA and 0.102 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He's an elite GPP option.

Trevor Story - SS, at TEX ($4,900)

Story has been playing at an elite level over his last 10 games, posting a .390 average with nine extra-base hits (three home runs) and 11 RBIs. He has struggled at times on the road this season, but he will be playing in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. He also gets a matchup against Yohander Mendez, and Story owns 0.094 wOBA and 0.117 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching. He's a player that can be used in all leagues.

 

Draft Daily - DFS Outfielders

Shin-Soo Choo - OF, vs COL ($4,600)

Choo has been heating up recently, posting a .333 average with a .641 slugging percentage and a 1.121 OPS over his last 10 games. Over that span, he has recorded six extra-base hits (three home runs) and six RBIs. He gets a good matchup against Chad Bettis, and Choo owns a 0.096 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Jesse Winker - OF, at PIT ($3,300)

Winker is surprisingly cheap for how well he has been playing over his last 10 games. Over that span, he's hitting .324 with a .529 slugging percentage and a .954 OPS. He's also hitting well over .350 with some power in six games against the Pittsburgh Pirates this season. Winker also gets a matchup against Chad Kuhl, who has historically struggled against left-handed batters. Winker can be used in all leagues.
