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 5/11/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
Give Draft 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
Max Scherzer - P, at ARI ($13,300)
Scherzer has been throwing on a level of his own this season, and this is an ideal matchup for him. Through eight games, he has an 8-1 record, 1.74 ERA, and 0.85 WHIP. He also features a 0.5 HR/9 to go along with an elite 13.9 K/9. The Diamondbacks also feature the highest strikeouts per at-bat by a wide margin. Scherzer is a -190 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs, and he's an elite option in all leagues.
Luke Weaver - P, at SD ($7,900)
Weaver has really been struggling recently, which has caused his price tag to drop a bit. Through seven games, he features a 2-2 record, 5.60 ERA, and 1.42 WHIP. He has also posted a dominant 0.5 HR/9 to go along with a solid 8.2 K/9. He gets an elite matchup against the San Diego Padres tonight, as they rank fourth on the slate in strikeouts per at-bat, while also ranking second last in team wOBA. Weaver is a -145 favorite in a game set at 8 runs, and he's a solid option in all leagues in this matchup.
Draft Daily - DFS Infielders
John Hicks - C, vs SEA ($3,500)
Hicks has been enjoying a solid season, and he's a player that can be considered whenever he is playing against left-handed pitching. This season, Hicks is hitting .364 against left-handed pitching. He gets a good matchup against Marco Gonzales tonight, as well. Hicks is still a cheap option, meaning he can be considered in all leagues on this slate.
Matt Adams - 1B, at ARI ($5,000)
Adams has been playing at an unbelievable level recently, recording a .353 average with a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .1463 OPS over his last 10 games. He has been nearly an identical hitter at home and on the road this season, and he features 0.127 wOBA and 0.111 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching. He's an elite option in all leagues until he cools off.
Jason Kipnis - 2B, vs KC ($3,600)
Kipnis hasn't posted elite numbers recently, but he does feature a 40% hard-hit rate over the last 15 days. He has been somewhat consistent recently, and he does come with plenty of upside. He's also expected to hit second in one of the top offenses on the slate tonight. That alone adds to hit value, although he is better suited for GPPs unless he's being used in a Cleveland stack.
Anthony Rendon - 3B, at ARI ($4,100)
Simply put, Rendon is a consistent option that also comes with upside. He is a significantly better option against left-handed pitching, but he has performed well against righties, as well. He also features a 64% hard-hit rate over the last 15 days, and gets a solid matchup against Matt Koch tonight. Rendon can be considered in all leagues.
Francisco Lindor - SS, vs KC ($5,400)
Lindor has likely been the best hitter in the MLB over his last 10 games. Over that span, he's hitting .429 with an .898 slugging percentage and a 1.338 OPS. He has recorded 11 extra-base hits (six home runs) and 12 RBIs over that span, as well. He has also been a significantly better hitter at home this season, and he gets a great matchup against Jason Hammel. Lindor can safely be used in all leagues.
Draft Daily - DFS Outfielders
Tommy Pham - OF, at SD ($4,900)
Pham has been enjoying a great season, specifically on the road. Through 16 road games, he's hitting .350 with a .533 slugging percentage and a .984 OPS. He has also recorded seven extra-base hits, seven RBIs, and five steals on the road. He gets a great matchup against Eric Lauer tonight, and Pham features 0.056 wOBA and 0.11 ISO differentials against left-handed pitching. He's a player that can safely be used in all leagues tonight.
Matt Kemp - OF, vs CIN ($3,900)
Kemp has been playing at a high level over his last 10 games, posting a .378 average with a .541 slugging percentage and a .966 OPS over that span.
