The MLB season is humming 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 this year is Pick6 Fantasy Baseball!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for today’s MLB slate.
DraftKings MLB Pick6 Plays
Bobby Witt Jr. More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Bobby Witt Jr. is batting .281 with an .803 OPS this season. Witt has consistently been one of the best hitters in baseball over the past few seasons, and while he hasn’t been at his peak in 2026, it’s been another strong showing. Witt missed a couple of weeks of action at the end of July and just made his return to the lineup. Witt announced his return with a three-hit night on Tuesday against the Twins. He should keep that hot return going against Bailey Ober. The Twins right-hander has a 4.45 ERA on the season and should struggle against Witt. Bobby Witt Jr. has 28 career at-bats against Ober. In those meetings, he is batting .429 with a 1.179 OPS. Witt should get a couple of hits in this game and cruise over this number.
Bryce Harper More Than 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Miles Mikolas has had a rough year on the mound. He has a 5.67 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP in 2026. Left-handers are batting .293 against Mikolas this year, and Bryce Harper should crush him tonight. Harper has an .857 OPS, despite struggling in left-on-left matchups. Against right-handers like Mikolas, Harper is batting .282 with a .989 OPS. Harper has hit 20 of his 24 home runs this season against righties. Meanwhile, Miles Mikolas ranks 88th out of the 89 pitchers who have thrown at least 100 innings this season in home runs allowed per nine. Harper has a career 1.024 OPS against Mikolas and should make the most of this matchup.
Ceddanne Rafaela More Than 0.5 Hits
Ceddanne Rafaela is one of the hottest hitters in baseball during this Red Sox winning streak. It has been a breakout season for Rafaela, who is batting .287 with an .804 OPS in 2026. Over the past 15 days, however, he has been on another level. He is batting .328 with a 1.091 OPS over that stretch. He should keep it going tonight against Luis Castillo. This will be Castillo’s first start as a member of the White Sox after getting traded from Seattle. It has been a rough year for Castillo, who has a 5.06 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Rafaela has a base hit in nine of his past 10 games and should get another one on the board against Castillo and the White Sox.
