The MLB season is heating up. 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
Matt Olson More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Matt Olson and the Braves just keep on rolling. Olson has an .888 OPS this season, a top-20 mark in baseball. He also ranks seventh in home runs and third in RBIs this season. This Braves lineup is arguably the best in baseball this season, and Olson is right at the heart of it. He should have a nice game against the Reds tonight. Brady Singer is on the mound for Cincinnati, and he has been struggling this season. Singer has a 6.26 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP in 2026. Over his four starts in the month of May, his ERA is 8.47. Olson has also been great head-to-head against Singer in his career. He is 4-for-12 with two home runs against the Reds’ right-hander. Olson has two hits in each of his past two games, so he could be in for another multi-hit game or hit one for extra bases to get over this total bases number.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. More Than 0.5 Hits
Jazz Chisholm Jr. just keeps hitting at the moment. Over the past 15 days, he has had a .362 batting average and a 1.030 OPS. He should stay hot in this game against the Athletics. J.T. Ginn is on the mound for the Athletics. He has a solid season on the mound, but his numbers are not nearly as good against lefties. Right-handed hitters are batting just .167 with a .518 OPS against Ginn. Meanwhile, lefties are batting .229 with a .727 OPS against Ginn. Jazz Chisholm Jr. should be able to take advantage of that and keep his hot run going. Ginn has also been significantly worse at home this season. In seven starts on the road, he has a 2.08 ERA. In five starts in Sacramento, he has a 5.21 ERA. Chisholm should register a base hit, at the very least, in this game.
Willy Adames More Than 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Willy Adames has been red-hot over the past couple of weeks. In the last 15 days, he has batted .308 with a 1.024 OPS. Adames has 10 extra-base hits in his past 52 at-bats, an average of almost one per game. Adames has also scored 12 runs in his past 11 games. He should get on base and produce another run in this game at Coors Field. Ryan Feltner is getting the start for the Rockies. Feltner is making his return from the IL, with this being his first start since April 23rd. Not only will Feltner have some rust to shake off, but he was having a really poor season prior to that IL stint. He has a 6.30 ERA and 1.50 WHIP to his name. He has also allowed an OPS of 1.075 to opposing right-handed batters this season. Adames should hit him hard and get over this number.
