The MLB season is humming along and 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.
DraftKings MLB Pick6 Plays
Cole Young More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Cole Young is having a great month at the plate for the Mariners. He has batted .287 with a .727 OPS over the past 30 days. Over his past seven games, Young has 10 hits, five runs scored and three RBIs. Tonight, he faces off against Ranger Suarez and the Red Sox. It has been a middling season for Suarez, but he has been much worse against left-handed opponents. Lefties are batting .290 with a .773 OPS against Suarez this season. Young should be able to keep his strong form going in this matchup against Ranger Suarez.
Shea Langeliers More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Shea Langeliers is having a solid season for the Athletics. He is batting .276 with an .870 OPS in 2026. Langeliers has a favorable matchup tonight against Jose Soriano that he should be able to take advantage of. Soriano is having a great season, but Langeliers has dominated him in the past. Langeliers is 7-for-14 with two doubles and two home runs in his career against the hurler. That includes when they faced off earlier this season, when Langeliers doubled off Soriano. Once it gets to the bullpen, the Angels have the eighth-worst staff in baseball by reliever ERA. Langeliers should be able to keep his good numbers against Soriano going and record another extra-base hit in this game.
Cam Schlittler More Than 5.5 Strikeouts Thrown
Cam Schlittler has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. He broke onto the scene last year with a strong rookie campaign and has now taken things to another level in 2026. He has a 1.82 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP, both top-five marks in baseball this season. Schlittler also has high strikeout numbers this season, averaging 9.7 K/9 in 2026. For this game against the Reds, DraftKings Pick6 has a promotion that only requires Schlittler to throw six strikeouts instead of seven to get over his Pick6 number. Schlittler has thrown at least six strikeouts in five of his past seven starts. The Reds have also struck out the fourth-most of any team in baseball this season. Schlittler should take it to them and throw at least six strikeouts.
What is DraftKings Pick6?
