We have a 10-game slate giving us plenty of options to pick from, so ownership should be spread out. There are a few big name arms on the bump tonight, so you will be looking to have exposure to them in your lineups.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel on 8/11/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me up on Twitter @DFS_Tom.

FanDuel DFS Pitchers
Trevor Bauer - P, CLE @ CWS (FD - $12,000)
Bauer is simply the best pitcher on the slate regardless of matchup or price. He is the one you should be looking to get into your cash games lineups given his matchup and consistency. He has a 31% strikeout rate this season and is now up against the White Sox who have a 25.7% strikeout rate vs right-handed pitchers this season. He has 10 or more strikeouts in two of his last three starts and has gotten the quality start in 11 of his last 12 outings.
Edwin Jackson - P, OAK @ LAA (FD - $7,000)
Jackson isn't that expensive today and is facing off against an Angles lineup, who will be without their best hitter Trout. They aren't overly dangerous without him and Jackson has put up two outings in a row with no earned runs while adding eight strikeouts. Love the savings on him, which will allow you to pay up for hitters, considering this is a slate with Coors Field.
FanDuel DFS Infielders
Jesus Aguilar - 1B, MIL @ ATL (FD - $3,800)
Aguilar has a .393 wOBA and a .312 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season and will now be facing off against Julio Teheran, who is giving up 1.89 HR/9 to right-handed hitters this season. Aguilar has two home runs in his last four games and makes a nice addition to a stack tonight.
Brian Dozier - 2B, LOS @ COL (FD - $4,000)
Dozier is the most expensive second basemen on the slate tonight, but the Dodgers are at Coors Field and come in with an implied run total set at 5.48, which is second highest on the slate. He has a .321 wOBA vs left-handed pitchers this season and has one home run in his last two games.
Rafael Devers - 3B, BOS @ BAL (FD - $3,200)
Devers is still too cheap after coming back from the DL and after what the Sox did last night, you want exposure to them any way you can on nearly every slate. He has a .332 wOBA and a .215 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season. Great hitter's park and great offense.
Carlos Correa - SS, HOU vs SEA (FD - $3,600)
Correa is back from his injury but didn't have a hit last night. This is the time to buy in early on him since his price is way too cheap. He was up over $5K at earlier points this season and is now $3.6. Nothing else to really add other than his .376 wOBA vs LHP is amazing and he isn't priced accurately.
FanDuel DFS Outfielders
Khris Davis - OF, OAK @ LAA (FD - $4,000)
Davis has a .327 wOBA and a .234 ISO this season vs left-handed pitchers and will now be facing Tyler Skaggs, who will be making his first start off the DL. This may not be the best hitter's park, but he has a five-game hitting streak with four home runs going right now.
Derek Dietrich - OF, MIA vs NYM (FD - $2,700)
Dietrich offers plenty of salary relief on a slate where we have some big name pitchers, along with Coors Field, so don't pass him up. He has a .356 wOBA and a .161 ISO vs right-handed pitchers this season. A cheaper option with a bit of pop is never a bad thing.
