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
Francisco Lindor More Than 0.5 Hits
It has been a disappointing season for Francisco Lindor and the Mets. They are almost certainly going to miss out on the postseason, and that can be partially attributed to the fact that Lindor missed a large portion of the season through injury. Even when Lindor came back from injury, he was struggling at the plate for a while. However, over the past month, Lindor has at least found a solid level to work from. Over the last 30 days, he is batting .267 with an .887 OPS. Last night in the series opener against the Brewers, Lindor had a spectacular game-saving defensive play and also launched a big home run. He should be feeling great coming into this game.
Dustin May is on the mound for Milwaukee. He has a 4.57 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP this season. Since being acquired by Milwaukee in a trade with the Cardinals, May has a 6.00 ERA across three starts. Left-handed hitters are batting .275 with a .751 OPS against May this season. Lindor has been at his best this season as a left-handed hitter facing right-handed pitching. He should, at the very least, register a base hit against May.
Alex Bregman More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Alex Bregman is having an excellent month for the Cubs. There have been some serious lulls for Bregman this season, but over the past 30 days, he is batting .325 with a 1.026 OPS. Bregman should keep that bat hot against Eduardo Rodriguez tonight. Bregman has been better against lefties all season, with a .796 OPS against southpaws in 2026, compared to .745 against righties. Rodriguez is having a nice season, but Bregman has always gotten the better of him over the years. Bregman has a 1.049 OPS in 30 career at-bats against Rodriguez. Bregman has also been much better away from Wrigley Field this season, batting .286 with an .861 OPS on the road. He should follow those trends today and get over this number against the Diamondbacks.
Randal Grichuk More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Randal Grichuk was DFA’d by the Yankees after a rough first few weeks of the season. Grichuk chose to hit free agency instead and was picked up by the White Sox. Since coming to Chicago, he has been fantastic at the dish, with a team-best .932 OPS and .297 batting average. Grichuk has been especially hot this month. Since the start of August, he is batting .375 with a 1.100 OPS. He should be in for a big game against Mackenzie Gore and the Rangers.
Gore has a 5.42 ERA away from home this season. The left-hander is in trouble against Grichuk, who has a remarkable 1.017 OPS against lefties in 2026. In his head-to-head battles with Gore, Grichuk is 5-for-9 with a home run. Over that small sample size, he has a 1.711 OPS against the southpaw. Grichuk should stay hot and get the better of Gore tonight.
