The MLB season is rolling along. There are far more ways to get involved in the action this season 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
Bryce Harper More Than 0.5 Total Bases (Promo Pick)
There is a great promo pick available on DraftKings Pick6 today. This pick only requires Bryce Harper to go over 0.5 total bases, rather than 1.5 total bases, but will still payout at 1x. This is an exciting prospect because Harper has a very favorable matchup today against Zach Littell. Littell has a 5.45 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP this season. He is also in awful form heading into this start, having given up nine total runs over his past two starts. Littell has been particularly bad against lefties. Left-handed batters are hitting .297 with a 1.002 OPS against Littell this season. Meanwhile, Harper has rushed right-handed pitching this season. He is hitting .297 with a 1.036 OPS against righties in 2026. Harper is also red hot, with nine total hits over his last three games. He should keep it rolling and crush Zach Littell today.
Brice Turang More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Brice Turang is having a solid season at the plate for the Brewers, currently sporting an .829 OPS. Turang should be in for a big game against fellow left-hander Nick Lodolo. Lodolo has been dreadful against his fellow lefties this season. Left-handed batters are hitting .386 with a .994 OPS against Lodolo this season. It has not been a great season for Nick Lodolo in any capacity, in fact. He has a 6.12 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP this season. Last time out, he gave up seven earned runs against the lowly Mets. The Brewers should hit him hard, including Turang. Turang had two hits, one of them being a double, in the series opener against Cincinnati on Monday. If it comes down to it, the Reds also have the fifth-worst bullpen ERA in baseball. Turang should find success in this game and record more than 1.5 total bases.
Kyle Stowers More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
In his first season playing over 100 games in the majors, Kyle Stowers made the All-Star Game last year. This season, Stowers’ numbers have taken a dip from that All-Star level, but he is still a solid player for the Marlins. He has also been in better form over the past few weeks, boosting his season-long numbers. In the month of June, Stowers has an .885 OPS. He should have a good showing against Cal Quantrill and the Rangers today. Quantrill has a 3.68 ERA and 1.26 WHIP this season. He is likely to throw just a couple of innings and then have this turn into a bullpen game for the Rangers. However, despite throwing just 2.2 innings over his last two appearances, Quantrill gave up five runs. He has been particularly poor against lefties. Left-handed hitters are batting .273 with a .797 OPS against Quantrill this season. Stowers is averaging an RBI per game this month and should get at least one hit and generate a run in this game as well.
