After a solid Monday night slate, we have a massive Tuesday night slate. There are 15 games tonight, with fantasy options ranging from salary relief to high priced. There are also pitchers at all end of the spectrum tonight.
A few teams have tremendous matchups on this slate, while there are also a few higher priced pitchers that may struggle. Even with limited Vegas lines out at the moment, there are still multiple teams that feature more than 5.0 runs tonight.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 6/12/18. You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too. If you have any questions about Fantasy Baseball, feel free to contact me on Twitter @BalesSJustin.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers
Aaron Nola - P, vs COL ($9,500)
Nola has looked outstanding this season, posting a 7-2 record with a 2.35 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP through 13 games. He has also posted a 0.5 HR/9 to go along with an 8.5 K/9 through 84.1 innings. He has also been a better pitcher at home, where he is 5-0 and his ERA dips to 1.94. Nola is a -146 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.
Mike Foltynewicz - P, vs NYM ($9,000)
Foltynewicz is another pitcher that has quietly been throwing at a high level this season. Through 13 starts, he features a 5-4 record with a 2.31 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. He has recorded a 0.6 HR/9 and a 10.7 K/9 over that span, as well. Foltynewicz has been a significantly better option at home this season, and he gets a great matchup against the Mets tonight. He's a -144 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, making him a solid option in all leagues.
FanDuel DFS Infielders
Edwin Encarnacion - C/1B, at CWS ($4,200)
Encarnacion is currently dealing with an injury, but he is expected to play tonight. Over his last 10 healthy games, Encarnacion is hitting .351 with a .838 slugging percentage and a 1.252 OPS. He's also hitting nearly .500 with a slugging percentage north of 1.000 in three games against the Chicago White Sox. If Encarnacion is in the starting lineup, he can be used in all leagues.
Scooter Gennett - 2B, at KC ($4,000)
Gennett has been enjoying a dominant season, hitting .340 with a .556 slugging percentage and a .932 OPS through 64 games. He has also been a slightly better hitter on the road, and he gets a good matchup against Ian Kennedy tonight. Gennett also owns 0.051 wOBA and 0.054 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues.
Luis Valbuena - 3B, at SEA ($2,400)
Valbuena has struggled on paper recently, but his peripherals have looked outstanding. Over the last 15 days, he has posted 52% hard-hit and 52% fly ball rates to go along with a 97 mph exit velocity. He also possesses 0.034 wOBA and 0.066 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. Valbuena does come with some risk, but he's a cheap source of a potential home run tonight.
Brandon Crawford - SS, at MIA ($3,400)
Crawford has been playing at a high level for quite some time now, including over his last 10 games. Over that span, he's hitting .485 with an .879 slugging percentage and a 1.429 OPS. Crawford gets a good matchup against Trevor Richards tonight, and he can safely be used in all leagues for a surprisingly low price tag.
FanDuel DFS Outfielders
Michael Brantley - OF, at CWS ($4,300)
Brantley has struggled a bit recently, but he has scored fantasy points in 26 or his last 27 games. He has been hitting the ball well, though, recording a 55% hard-hit rate and 95 mph exit velocity over the last 15 days. He gets an elite matchup against Jake Shields tonight, and Brantley is an option that can safely be used in all leagues tonight.
Scott Schebler - OF, at KC ($3,400)
Schebler has been playing at an elite level over his last 10 games, posting a .419 average with a .721 slugging percentage and a 1.177 OPS over his last 10 games. He also features seven extra-base hits (three home runs) and seven RBIs over that span. Schebler owns 0.012 wOBA and 0.105 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching, and he's an elite option on this slate.
