There are a plethora of games today, but they are broken down into two slates. The later slate features nine games, and that is the larger slate. That is also the slate that we will be focusing on here.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 6/13/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.

DraftKings DFS Starting Pitchers
Trevor Bauer - P, at CWS ($11,500)
Bauer has been throwing at an elite level this season, posting a 5-4 record with a 2.62 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP through 13 starts. He has also recorded an elite 0.5 HR/9 to go along with an 11.4 K/9. He gets a great matchup against the Chicago White Sox, who have struggled to hit for contact this season. Bauer is a -169 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Nick Pivetta - P, vs COL ($7,500)
Pivetta has struggled at times this season, but he has looked outstanding at home. Through seven home starts, he has recorded a 3-2 record with a 2.20 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. He also owns a 0.4 HR/9 and an 11.0 K/9 in Philadelphia this season. He gets a good matchup against the Colorado Rockies, who have struggled away from home this season. Pivetta is currently a -149 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs tonight. He's a safe salary relief option on the slate tonight.

Jose Martinez - 1B, vs SD ($5,000)
Martinez has been one of the best hitters in the MLB over his last 10 games. Over that span, he's hitting .486 with eight extra-base hits (five home runs) and 11 RBIs.

Kike Hernandez - 2B, vs TEX ($3,300)
Hernandez has been struggling this season, but he's a player that can always be considered against left-handed pitching.
