Daily Fantasy Baseball: DraftKings Picks For June 6

Daily Fantasy Baseball: DraftKings Picks For June 6

Welcome back to the best Fantasy Baseball coverage and expert picks. There are 6 games in the evening slate on DraftKings stating at 7: 10 p.m. and 3 games in the LATE only contests starting at 10:10 p.m. Here are my best selections for DraftKings lineups in these June 6th contests:

Pitcher

Felix Hernandez (SEA) home vs. TEX for $11500: King Felix (8-2, 2.63 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 75 Ks in 75 1/3 IP) is averaging 24.6 FPPG, which is 2nd overall. He is coming off a bad start vs. NYY in which he suddenly lost control after three perfect innings and gave up 7 ER in the next two. Look for King Felix to rebound at home vs. Tampa, against whom he tossed a complete game shutout on 5/27 throwing only 101 pitches. The Mariners are a -175 favorite tonight.

Hitters

2B Ian Kinsler (DET) at CWS (Danks) for $4200: Kinsler (.265, 23 RBI, 7.2 FPPG) has broken out of a mini-slump with 3 hits in his last two games. The talented, veteran second baseman has a favorable R/L matchup tonight in a hitters ball park against the White Sox and John Danks, who Kinsler has lit up in his career with 4 HR and a .341 BA in 41 AB.

  • OF Andrew McCutchen (PIT) at ATL (Teheran) for $4600: McCutchen (.295, 32 R, 7 HR, 35 RBI, 3 SB) has been on fire going 11 for 21 on his current 6 game hitting streak. McCutchen has a great matchup tonight against Tehran who has allowed 21 H/BB and 11 ER in his last 2 starts. McCutchen has a career 4 for 9 mark with a home run against Teheran. Also, the game is at Turner Field which has been hitter-friendly in 2015 as evident in it being 8th in Park Factor Runs (1.14).

    OF Adam Eaton (CWS) home vs. DET (Price) for $3,400: Eaton is riding a modest 5 game hitting streak where he has gone 6 for 22 with 5 runs, 4 RBI and 2 SB. Although facing Price in a L/L matchup, Eaton is 7 for 12 against him. At $3,400 in a DK scoring system that rewards speed, this is a bargain and you could get 10+ FP from Eaton in the leadoff spot.
