RADIO
If you've never played on Draft Daily 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 4/28/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
GiveDraft 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
Lance McCullers - P, vs OAK ($11,200)
McCullers has struggled a bit early this season, recording a 3-1 record, 4.67 ERA, and 1.44 WHIP through five games. More importantly, he features an elite 12.3 K/9, displaying tremendous upside. He has also been a slightly better pitcher in Houston this season. McCullers is a -207 favorite in a game set at 9 runs. He's an option that can be considered in all leagues tonight.
German Marquez - P, at MIA ($6,300)
Marquez's struggled have kept his price tag low, but he features a 1-0 record, 1.64 ERA, and 1.09 WHIP through two road starts. He gets an elite matchup against the Miami Marlins in Miami tonight. They feature the third highest strikeouts per at-bat as a team this season, adding to Marquez's upside. He's also a -114 favorite in a game set at only 8 runs.
Draft Daily - DFS Infielders
Welington Castillo - C, at KC ($3,100)
Castillo posted elite numbers against left-handed pitching last season, recording a .344 average. He is a powerful hitter that has been playing better on the road tonight. He gets an elite matchup against Eric Skoglund, who has struggled against right-handed pitching throughout his career. Castillo can be used in all leagues on this slate.
Jose Abreu - 1B, at KC ($4,500)
Abreu is another player that should be able to take advantage of the matchup against Eric Skoglund. Abreu has recorded 0.112 wOBA and 0.086 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching. He has also been playing extremely well recently, hitting .317 with four extra-base hits (three home runs) and six RBIs over his last 10 games. Abreu isn't going to come cheap, but he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Neil Walker - 2B, at LAA ($3,000)
Walker has looked awful this season, which has kept his price tag low. He gets a tough matchup against Garrett Richards, but it isn't a matchup that Walker cannot take advantage of. He has been a more consistent and more powerful option against right-handed pitching. He's the type of high upside salary relief option that will allow you to roster the higher priced players on the slate.
Nolan Arenado - 3B, at MIA ($5,200)
Arenado is always a risky option when he's away from home, but he is an elite option against left-handed pitching. Arenado gets a matchup against Caleb Smith, who has struggled at times this season. Arenado is not the safest option for his price tag on his slate, but he makes a great option in tournaments tonight.
Amed Rosario - SS, at SD ($3,000)
Rosario has been a consistent option with some upside this season. He has performed well against left-handed pitching, recording 0.05 wOBA and 0.083 ISO differentials against lefties. Rosario gets a matchup against Joey Lucchesi, who has looked outstanding this season, but isn't untouchable. Rosario is a player that always seems to be low owned, but he can be used in all leagues for his current price tag.
Draft Daily - DFS Outfielders
Mike Trout - OF, at LAA ($5,600)
If you have the money to play Trout, you should do so. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting .343 with a .743 slugging percentage and a 1.182 OPS. He recorded six extra-base hits (four home runs), five RBIs, and three steals over that span, as well. Trout gets somewhat of a difficult matchup against Masahiro Tanaka, meaning he could be a bit lower owned tonight. Trout can be used in all leagues.
Jorge Soler - OF, vs CWS ($3,300)
Soler is another outfielder that has been heating up recently, hitting .375 with a .656 slugging percentage and 1.180 OPS over his last 10 games. Soler has also dominated left-handed pitching, recording 0.078 wOBA and 0.154 ISO differentials against lefties. He gets a good matchup against Hector Santiago tonight, and Soler can be used in all leagues, as well.
