Trending
Jeffrey Springs ($6600 on DraftKings, $7900 on FanDuel)
Jeffrey Springs has not had the smoothest return to the mound and does face the Baltimore Orioles today. However, he has been excellent in the past, including last season before injury. He's a good pick today.
Top Hitters for MLB DFS August 11
Yordan Alvarez ($5900 on DraftKings, $3800 on FanDuel)
Yordan Alvarez should probably be in DFS lineups every single day, especially when the Houston Astros star has this stat line: .304 average, 24 home runs, 62 RBI and a .942 OPS.
Jarren Duran ($5700 on DraftKings, $3800 on FanDuel)
Jarren Duran has been great this year for the Boston Red Sox. Any time you can get a player with a .293 average, 14 home runs, 58 RBI, and a .857 OPS in your lineup, you should.
Steven Kwan ($4700 on DraftKings, $3200 on FanDuel)
Steven Kwan is hitting the ball very well this season. The Guardians outfielder is hitting .326 (second in MLB) with 12 home runs and an .861 OPS. That's a great player to pick today.

Andres Gimenez ($3600 on DraftKings, $2700 on FanDuel)
The Guardians are a good team to keep an eye on today, as they have another good option in Andres Gimenez. He's hitting a solid .257 this season, a mark difficult to find at this price range.
Yainer Diaz ($4500 on DraftKings, $3200 on FanDuel)
Yainer Diaz is one of the best offensive catchers in baseball this year: .300 average, 11 home runs, 61 RBI, .774 OPS. Those numbers are good, so he's the perfect budget pick.
