Blake Krass shares his top fantasy baseball Pick6 picks and plays for the Thursday slate. Check ’em out here!
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 this year is Pick6 Fantasy Baseball!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for today’s MLB slate.
Maikel Garcia is having a solid season for the Royals. He is batting .277 with a .771 OPS this season. However, he has been excellent against left-handed pitching. Against lefties in 2026, Garcia is batting .414 with a 1.224 OPS. Those marks rank third and fourth-best in the MLB this season, respectively. Garcia gets to take on the White Sox’s left-hander Anthony Kay to start tonight. Kay has a 4.89 ERA this season and a 1.57 WHIP. Kay’s numbers are being elevated by the fact that he has been excellent in lefty-on-lefty matchups. He is allowing a 1.029 opponent OPS against right-handed hitters this season. Garcia should crush Kay and record multiple hits in this game.
Henry Bolte made his MLB debut for the Athletics on Wednesday against the Cardinals. Bolte casually went 2/2 with a walk and a sacrifice fly in his first MLB game. He was a highly anticipated call-up for the Athletics due to his incredible numbers in the minors. In Triple-A Las Vegas this season, Bolte had been batting .348 with a 1.076 OPS. He is a great hitter who can hit for both contact and power. Bolte proved that he is ready for the big leagues with great plate discipline and situational hitting last night. He didn’t press for power and instead picked up a couple of singles. Bolte should keep it going today against Michael McGreevy and the Cardinals. McGreevy has been great in his last couple of outings, but he has a 3.22 road ERA this season. Also, St. Louis has a 4.62 bullpen ERA this season, the eighth-worst mark in baseball. Even if McGreevy has his best stuff, Bolte should be able to register a hit against that Cardinals bullpen.
Chris Sale is having a phenomenal season for the Braves at 37 years old. He has a 2.20 ERA, the 14th-best mark in baseball, and a 0.88 WHIP, the fifth-best mark in baseball. Chris Sale is also striking batters out at an extremely high rate. He is averaging 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings, the 11th-highest mark in baseball. Sale should keep that going tonight against the Cubs. The Cubs have been great against left-handed pitching, which is the reason this number is low for Sale. However, despite hitting lefties hard, they are also striking out at a higher rate. The Cubs are striking out at the third-lowest rate in the MLB against righties, but at the 17th-highest rate against lefties. Sale has struck out at least six batters in seven of his eight starts this year. He should keep that streak going tonight.
Pick6 is a peer-to-peer fantasy variant where you build a lineup (your “Pick Set”) of 2+ players and select whether or not you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection.
