MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/11/24) - Today's Top Lineups

Free daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for today's slate on DraftKings, FanDuel. Use Euan's MLB DFS expert picks to build winning DFS lineups on June 11, 2024.

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! There are 12 games to occupy our Tuesday evening in baseball DFS. It starts at a regular time of 7:10 p.m. EDT when three games throw out the first pitch on the East Coast. Philadelphia-Boston, Cleveland-Cincinnati, and Miami-New York will lead tonight's featured contests.

New York and Aaron Judge are on the heater to end all heaters since Memorial Day. Brady Singer may need to cross all his fingers and toes as he goes up against the No. 1 offense in OPS, wOBA, and wrC+ against right-handed pitching over the last month. It looks like a quiet weather evening is on the cards as the strongest winds will be in Minnesota when they welcome Colorado.

This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/11/2024 and the slate locking at 7:10 p.m. EDT. The lineup picks will range from some elite players to 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 also essential.

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Paul Skenes - RHP, PIT at Cardinals ($9.4K DraftKings; $10.5K FanDuel)

In terms of advanced numbers like expected fun (xFUN), Paul Skenes tops the pitching charts on Tuesday. Despite a tough matchup with St. Louis, the Pittsburgh phenomenon will be highly-rostered due to his popularity, making him a safe cash-game player. The 22-year-old has struck out eight or more batters in three of his previous four starts and averages 34 DraftKings PPG on the road. With a 99th percentile fastball velocity (99.4 mph) and a 98th percentile strikeout rate (35.5%), even a top-five offense versus right-handed pitching like the Cardinals will be no match for the skills of Paul Skenes.

Bryan Woo - RHP, SEA vs. White Sox ($8.9K DK; $9.7K FD)

There are not a lot of pitchers to love on Tuesday's slate, so spending big is in the cards. Bryan Woo is a viable SP1 on FanDuel and a high-end SP2 on DraftKings. The Mariners righty sports a 1.07 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, and 32.5 FanDuel PPG through six starts. The strikeout rate (20.2%) is miserable, but the walk rate (1.7%) is pristine and is in the 99th percentile. This will allow Woo to dominate a sorry White Sox squad that enters tonight's game with the fourth-highest strikeout rate (25.6%) to RHP, along with the fourth-lowest OPS (.676), wOBA (.278), and wRC+ (79), over the last month.

Also Consider: Zack Wheeler at BOS, Ronel Blanco at SF, Marcus Stroman at KC, Kutter Crawford vs. PHI

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Freddie Freeman - 1B, LAD vs. Dane Dunning ($5.8K DK; $3.7K FD)

He's heating up! After posting sub-.900 OPS numbers in March, April, and May, Freddie Freeman is turning it around in June. Through eight games, the slugging first baseman has a 1.159 OPS with eight runs, seven RBI, six extra-base hits (two home runs), and two steals, averaging 17.89 FD PPG. Freeman's Tuesday opponent, Dane Dunning, has conceded 10 home runs in 10 starts this year, with a .369 wOBA to left-handed hitters compared to a .263 wOBA versus righties. Combine that split with a 21.3% HR/FB rate, adding to a productive DFS evening for the Dodgers first baseman.

Enmanuel Valdez - 2B, BOS vs. Zack Wheeler ($3.6K DK; $2.7K FD)

The season-long numbers (.588 OPS) look less impressive for Enmanuel Valdez, but he's been very impressive since his return to the big leagues. Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) was placed on the IL on June 2, giving Valdez a clear runway to playing time. In the nine games since he was recalled, the 25-year-old has a 1.096 OPS with five runs, eight RBI, and five extra-base hits (three home runs). The Red Sox second baseman is in the middle of a power-producing breakout year with 11 home runs in 57 games between the majors and Triple-A, so grabbing some cheap exposure to a player in that form is worth the gamble on both sites.

Alex Bregman - 3B, HOU at Jordan Hicks ($4.2K DK; $3.2K FD)

Despite being hit on the hand by a pitch on Sunday, Alex Bregman started Monday's game against San Francisco. However, it's still something to monitor before smashing him into your DFS lineup. For his part, Breggy has been smashing baseballs over the last two weeks. Since May 28, Houston's third baseman slashes .368/.442/.789 with seven extra-base hits (four home runs) and 17 combined runs and RBI. The 30-year-old looks like juiced-ball-era Alex Bregman again. While we can't count on that form returning, the mainstay in the heart of Houston's order should be a priority in your player pool for Tuesday's 12-game slate.

Also consider: Vinnie Pasquantino, Ketel Marte, Tyler Locklear, Rafael Devers, Paul DeJong

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Aaron Judge - OF, NYY at Brady Singer ($6.6K DK; $5.0K FD)

Since Stathead.com started tracking DFS points in baseball, only four players have scored at least 10 DraftKings points in 10 straight games.

Player	Streak	Start	End
Ronald Acuna Jr	13	June 20. 23	July 4. 23
Aaron Judge	10*	May 30. 24	TBD
Matt Olson	10	Sept 3. 23	Sept 12. 23
Shohei Ohtani	10	June 9. 23	June 18. 23

Aaron Judge is partying with some elite company. Over his last 10 games, the Yankees outfielder has a ludicrous 1.829 OPS with 14 runs, 20 RBI, seven home runs, and three steals, averaging 21.4 DK PPG. Most players would be happy if they had a game in their career where they produced 21 DK points in a night, but that's just a day ending in 'y' for Aaron Judge. The price is high, but the reward is higher.

TJ Friedl - OF, CIN vs. Triston McKenzie ($4.4K DK; $3.3K FD)

With right-handed Triston McKenzie on the mound for Cleveland, Cincinnati will deploy left-handed TJ Friedl as its leadoff man. The platoon advantage is reason enough to get Friedl in the lineup, but the 28-year-old is now mashing the baseball and raising his fantasy ceiling. Over the last 10 games, the Reds outfielder sports a .964 OPS with eight runs, 11 RBI, three home runs, and three stolen bases, averaging 11.9 DK PPG. All the advanced numbers indicate McKenzie is getting better results than he should when he pitches, but a 15.9 percent HR/FB rate in Great American Ballpark could spell doom for the Guardians starter.

Heliot Ramos - OF, SF vs. Ronel Blanco ($3.8K DK; $3.5K FD) - Better on DraftKings

In a somewhat mediocre season for San Francisco, Heliot Ramos is shining bright. Through 29 games, the Giants outfielder owns a .938 OPS, but it's been even better in June. Over the last 10 games, the 24-year-old is rocking a .389/.500/.750 slash line with six runs, 11 RBI, four home runs, and a steal, averaging 12.2 DK PPG. After starting the first 23 games of the season in the lower half of the Giants lineup, Ramos has moved to the top of the order over the last week. A top-two hitter in any lineup is a desirable DFS asset, but to get Ramos at $3.8K on DK is a steal.
