Casey Wilson's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Monday, 5/11/26. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.
We have a small six-game slate on tap for us this Monday night, but there is still money to be made, and these smaller slates are where we tend to shine here at RotoBaller. FanDuel has decided to not include the two earlier games so tonights article will focus on DraftKings. There aren't a lot of different spots outside the Yankees tonight, so nailing down the best options for tournaments can give us opportunities to fade higher-rostered arms and offenses and get a bit different.
If you have not had a chance to check out my model, I will refer to it throughout this article. To get a better sense of where I am at not only on today's slate but every slate, please give it a look. My plays are solely based on numbers, and this model is the brain behind the operation.
This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 5/11/2026, with the slate starting at 6:10 p.m. ET on DraftKings and 7:07 p.m. ET on FanDuel. The lineup picks will showcase elite players, mid-priced options, and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports here. Monitoring injury news and today's MLB starting lineups is always essential.
Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel
Ryan Weathers, SP - NYY ($8.3K DK/N/A FD)
Ryan Weathers is the clear SP1 on tonight's slate, and I expect him to be chalky. He will square off against the Orioles on the road at Camden Yards. There will be good pitching weather in Camden Yards tonight for this matchup for Weathers.
This season, Weathers has pitched to a 2.98 xFIP, 28.5% K%, 1.19 WHIP, 1.40 HR/9, 38.3% FB%, and a 29.1% Hard Hit%. He has been tremendous this year, building on a major step forward this spring, marked by improved velocity. He has a 35.5% xK% in my model over his last two starts.
This season, the Orioles have a 24.3% K% and a .691 OPS against LHP, with a 96 wRC+. They have a 24.0% K%, .627 OPS, and a 78 wRC+ over the L14 days. There is safety in this matchup because of the low power numbers the Orioles have against southpaws this season, but also tremendous ceiling, as my model has Weathers projected at a 30.1% K%.
Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel
New York Yankees (Model-Projected IRT of 5.6 runs) vs. Brandon Young
The theme of today's article will be the New York Yankees. They are in a premier matchup against Brandon Young tonight at Camden Yards. My model has the Yankees projected for a healthy 5.6 runs on the road.
The Yankees are on fire at the moment. Over their L14 days against RHP, they have a .813 OPS and a 126 wRC+. They have a .781 OPS and a 119 wRC+ this season against the split. Now they will get a premier matchup against the gas can Brandon Young.
Young this season has posted a 5.21 xFIP, 1.45 WHIP, 1.31 HR/9, 46.5% FB%, and 35.3% HR/9. He has a 12.3% xK% and a 9.0% SwStr%. He is going to struggle to miss bats against the Yankees tonight, and the power in this lineup is going to take advantage of that.
Favorite Targets: Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, Aaron Judge, Amed Rosario, Ryan McMahon, Trent Grisham, Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Top MLB DFS Hitter for DraftKings, FanDuel
Rafael Devers, 1B - SFG ($3.9K DK/$2.6K FD)
Do not look now, but Rafael Devers is starting to heat up. He is slashing .333/.316/.711 with a 1.038 OPS over his last 19 PA. He now gets an awesome matchup with Roki Sasaki in a great hitting venue. Sasaki has allowed a .507 SLG, 12.1% Brl%, and a 44.8% Hard Hit% to LHH this season. Devers is cheap and should be a core play in lineups tonight.
