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
Riley Greene More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Riley Greene is putting together another solid season in Detroit. He made his third consecutive MLB All-Star Game a couple of weeks ago and is looking to have a big second half as well. Greene should be in for a big game against Dean Kremer and the Orioles. Greene has demolished right-handed pitching this season, batting .307 with a .897 OPS. Kremer, meanwhile, has really struggled against lefties. Left-handed batters are hitting .270 with a .934 OPS against Kremer in 2026. Kremer also comes into this game with a 5.06 ERA on the season. Everything sets up for a good game from Riley Greene tonight.
Francisco Lindor More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Chris Sale has been brilliant this season, although he has not been quite as dominant as of late. In three of his last four outings, Sale gave up three runs to the Padres, three runs to the Mets and only lasted three innings against the Cardinals. In that game against the Mets, Francisco Lindor went 2-for-4 against Sale, with both hits coming against the lefty. It has been a lost season for Lindor due to injury and the Mets’ major struggles. However, Lindor has caught fire as of late. Last night, Lindor fired a pair of home runs and recorded a triple against the Braves. Since the All-Star break, Lindor has a 1.016 OPS. He should keep it rolling against Sale, against whom he has a lot of success in his career. In 41 career at-bats against Sale, Lindor is batting .390 with a .990 OPS. He should put together another good game against Sale tonight.
Trea Turner More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Trea Turner is red-hot since the All-Star break and just in time. Turner is having the worst season of his career at the plate. His .682 OPS is the worst mark of his career, not including his rookie season, where he played in just 27 games. His previous worst career OPS was .760 back in 2018. However, Turner has finally turned things around the past two weeks. Over the last 15 days, he is batting .325 with a 1.125 OPS. Tonight, he faces Sandy Alcantara, who just gave up five runs his last time out. Alcantara has an ERA over 4.00 and has always struggled against Turner. Turner has a career .386 batting average and .981 OPS in 44 at-bats against Alcantara. He should keep his bat hot tonight and get over this number.
