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
Jung Hoo Lee More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Jung Hoo Lee will feel great heading into Tuesday night’s game against the Rangers. In the series opener on Monday against the Rangers, Lee hit a pair of home runs in the Giants’ 5-1 win. Lee has been one of the best contact hitters in baseball all season, with a .306 batting average to his name. That mark ranks sixth-best in baseball among qualified hitters. Lee should be in for another good game against Mackenzie Gore tonight. Gore has struggled against lefties this season, with left-handed batters hitting .281 with a .795 OPS against him. Lee should get the better of Gore and get over this number for the second straight game in this series.
Alex Bregman More Than 0.5 Hits
The biggest trade of the MLB trade deadline saw Tarik Skubal head to Los Angeles. The already loaded Dodgers rotation added the back-to-back AL Cy Young winner. It has been another strong season for Skubal, but not as dominant as the past two years. His 2.79 ERA is significantly higher than his end-of-season marks in 2024 and 2025. Skubal is making his Dodgers debut right away with a showdown at Wrigley Field tonight. One worry for Skubal is the player who has been one of the biggest thorns in his side over the years, Alex Bregman. Bregman is 7-for-15 with three extra-base hits in his career against Skubal, equaling out to a 1.334 OPS against the left-hander. Bregman has a base hit in seven of his past eight games, and he should keep that run going, even against the great Tarik Skubal in his Dodgers debut.
Chase DeLauter More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Chase DeLauter should be in for a good game against the Mets on Tuesday night. DeLauter is having a great rookie season, with a .278 batting average and a .791 OPS to his name. He currently ranks fourth in the AL Rookie of the Year odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. DeLauter has been great overall, but he has been world-class against lefties. He is batting .355 with a .900 OPS against left-handed pitching this season. DeLauter should get the better of Mets starter Sean Manaea tonight. Manaea has a 4.42 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP this season. The Guardians’ rookie should keep up his excellent record against left-handed pitching and jump on Manaea. DeLauter has a .934 OPS over the last 30 days and should keep his great run going.
