The 2025 MLB season is heating up. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Baseball!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for today’s MLB slate.
Aaron Judge More Than 0.5 RBIs
Aaron Judge is having another MVP-level season for the Yankees. Judge is just two home runs behind the MLB leaders and ranks fifth in RBIs this season. However, it is his discipline at the plate that has been more stellar than ever this season. Judge leads the MLB in batting average, something that is rarely done by a power hitter of Judge’s stature. Judge is batting .389 this season, and comfortably leads baseball in total bases. The Guardians are sending out Slade Cecconi to try to slow down Judge tonight. Cecconi could be in major trouble, as he is riding a 5.28 ERA heading into this game against the Yankees. Judge has one career at-bat against Cecconi, and that at-bat resulted in a home run. Judge should be able to jump on Cecconi early and drive in a run for the Yankees.
Eugenio Suarez More Than 0.5 Home Runs
Eugenio Suarez is having a great season for the Diamondbacks. He currently ranks in the top ten in the MLB in home runs and RBIs. His 16 home runs and 44 RBIs so far this season have him on pace for a huge year. Suarez and the Diamondbacks have already faced Braves starter Grant Holmes once this season. That game was one of the best individual performances in MLB history from Eugenio Suarez. He hit a remarkable four home runs in that game, with three coming off Grant Holmes. That equals out to a 3.000 career SLG percentage for Suarez against Holmes—a truly incredible figure. Suarez has been great against right-handed pitching in general this season, sporting a 117 tOPS+ against righties. Suarez should have a great chance to get another homer off Holmes in this game.
Kyle Schwarber More Than 0.5 RBIs
Kyle Schwarber is putting together another solid season in Philadelphia. Schwarber ranks ninth in the MLB in RBIs with 44 so far this season. Schwarber is a great home run hitter, but is also a very smart player. At this point in his career, Schwarber has seen it all and has great experience. He knows when to be aggressive and go for the home run swing, and when to just make the right play to drive in a run. That is why his RBI totals are so high, because he can do it in different ways. Schwarber has been great against today’s Blue Jays starter, Chris Bassitt, over the years. Schwarber is batting .438 with two home runs in 16 career at-bats against Bassitt. Bassitt has been lost on the mound as of late, giving up five runs in each of his past two starts. Schwarber should be able to drive in at least one run against Bassitt in this game.
Cal Raleigh More Than 0.5 Hits
Cal Raleigh has always been a solid player for the Mariners, but he is in the midst of a career-best season in Seattle. Raleigh is currently tied with Shohei Ohtani for the MLB lead in home runs. He will almost assuredly be the starting catcher for the American League in the All-Star Game because of his great production. Raleigh has been great all season, but he really caught fire over the past two weeks. Over the last 14 days, he is batting .319, with a 1.183 OPS, seven home runs and 13 RBIs. Zach Eflin will be on the mound for Baltimore today, who has been really shaky this season. Over his past four starts, Eflin has an ERA of 5.64. Raleigh can’t be stopped at the moment and should easily pick up a hit against Eflin.
Jonathan India More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Jonathan India has started to find his form over the past couple of weeks, after a slow start to the season in Kansas City. Over the last 14 days, India is batting .294 with a .663 OPS. The former Rookie of the Year is still striving to reach the next level. India’s Rookie of the Year in Cincinnati is still the best season of his career so far. After a change of scenery last offseason, India hopes to get back to those levels and beyond. Over the past two weeks, he has certainly been moving in the right direction. He will also be happy to see Miles Mikolas on the mound for the Cardinals today. India has a career .320 batting average against Mikolas with three home runs. That comes out to a .720 career SLG against Mikolas. Mikolas struggled in his last start, giving up four runs in four innings to the Orioles. India should be able to keep up his good career numbers against Mikolas and get more than 1.5 total bases in this game.
Juan Soto More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Juan Soto has finally started to catch fire for the Mets. It was a slow start to his Mets career, but the superstar has finally started to play up to his standards. Over his past six games, Soto is batting .316 with three home runs, six RBIs and six runs scored. He has been really productive with runners on base, and with Pete Alonso behind him in the lineup, he has also been scoring runs. Tonight is the final night of the Mets’ series against the Dodgers, in which they have taken two out of three games. The Dodgers are sending Landon Knack out to the bump today, who is inexperienced and has been inconsistent this season. Knack has a 5.40 ERA at Dodger Stadium this season, and Soto should be able to get an extra-base hit off him.
