The MLB regular season is coming down the final stretch. 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
Jeff McNeil More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Jeff McNeil is red-hot at the plate as of late. Over the last 15 days, he is batting .327 with an .865 OPS. McNeil has 13 hits in his past 10 games and should keep it rolling tonight against the Orioles. Shane Baz has a 4.04 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP this season. He has struggled against left-handed hitters all season. Lefties are batting .273 with a .773 OPS this season. Baz has given up at least three runs in each of his past three starts. He faced this Athletics team earlier this season and gave up five runs in 4.2 innings of work. McNeil should keep his bat hot and get over this number.
Julio Rodriguez More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Julio Rodriguez has had a rollercoaster of a season so far. However, this game is a good chance for Rodriguez to have a big game. Over his last four games, he has four hits, three runs scored and three RBIs. He can keep that momentum going against Jose Soriano and the Blue Jays. Soriano is having a decent season, but he has not been as good since coming to Toronto. In four starts with the Blue Jays, he has a 4.22 ERA. Soriano faced this Mariners team earlier in the season when he was with the Angels, and he gave up three runs in five innings of work. Rodriguez went 3-for-5 and scored two runs in that game. He is now 10-for-18 with a 1.544 OPS in his career against Soriano. Rodriguez should keep that success going today in Toronto.
Cristopher Sanchez More Than 7.5 Strikeouts Thrown
Cristopher Sanchez is having a great season for the Phillies. He has 16 wins this season, tied for the most in baseball. He also ranks eighth in the MLB with a 2.62 ERA. Most importantly, Sanchez ranks sixth in the MLB in strikeouts. He should strike out at least eight batters in this matchup against the Angels. Los Angeles has struck out the third-most of any team in baseball in 2026. Sanchez should keep up his great strikeout numbers and get over this number against the Angels.
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 you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection. Enter your Pick Set in Pick6 contests to compete against other users. Get enough picks correct and win a share of cash prizes.
How to Play
Create a Pick Set
