The MLB season is rolling along. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings 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 Total Bases
It has been an excellent season in Detroit for Riley Greene. He is batting .278 with an .830 OPS in 2026. That is despite some relative struggles against left-handed pitching. Against righties, Greene has been one of the best hitters in baseball. He is batting .305 with a .904 OPS against right-handers this season. Greene should be in for a good game against the right-handed Bryan Woo. Woo has a 4.56 ERA this season and has had real problems against lefties. Left-handed hitters have a .713 OPS against Woo this season, compared to righties, who have a .593 OPS. Greene had three hits in the series opener against the Mariners on Tuesday night and should keep it rolling on Wednesday.
Trea Turner More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Trea Turner has dramatically turned his season around after a terrible start. Turner was having the worst season of his career before he got red hot through July and into the start of August. Over the last 30 days, Turner is batting .316 with a .942 OPS. He should be in for a big game against Jake Irvin tonight. Irvin has a 5.56 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP this season, and has been crushed by righties. Irvin is allowing right-handers to bat .275 with an .800 OPS against him this season. Turner has also been much better against right-handed pitching, so everything sets up for him to have a big night against Irvin.
Otto Lopez More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Otto Lopez was named to his first MLB All-Star Game this season. In his third season in Miami, Lopez has taken a giant leap forward as a hitter. He ranks third in the MLB with a .326 batting average this season. He has been excellent on every level, at home or on the road, against right-handers or left-handers, during the day or at night. Lopez has also been great against tonight’s starter, Bryce Elder. In eight career at-bats against Elder, Lopez has four hits. Right-handed hitters are batting .292 with an .801 OPS against Elder this season overall. Lopez should keep his bat red hot against Elder and get over 1.5 total bases in this game.
What is DraftKings Pick6?
Pick6 is a peer-to-peer fantasy variant where you build a lineup (your “Pick Set”) of 2+ players and select whether or not you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection.

How to Play
