Barring any rainouts, all 30 MLB teams are playing Wednesday, which expands the options for Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) significantly. A ton of superstar hitters are going to be on the field and a few really good pitchers, including the reigning AL Cy Young, are slated to pitch. Here's who you need to keep an eye on today.
Top pitchers for MLB DFS June 19
Tarik Skubal ($9500 on DraftKings, $11200 on FanDuel)
Tarik Skubal is an early Cy Young candidate for the American League, so he's a great option every single time out. He has an 8-2 record, 2.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 98 strikeouts. He's been brilliant all year.
Gerrit Cole ($9000 on DraftKings, $9900 on FanDuel)
It doesn't matter that Gerrit Cole is facing the Baltimore Orioles, because the New York Yankees pitcher is the reigning Cy Young. He also looked brilliant in his rehab starts, so he looks poised to dominate once again. He may not have length today, but he's going to pitch well.
Joe Ryan ($9500 on DraftKings, $10300 on FanDuel)
Joe Ryan has been very good for the Minnesota Twins. He has five wins and a 3.24 ERA. He also has the 18th-most strikeouts in baseball and the sixth-lowest WHIP of all players. He's a good option for DFS today.
Top hitters for MLB DFS June 19
Juan Soto ($6200 on DraftKings, $4400 on FanDuel)
Juan Soto is a good DFS pick every single day. The New York Yankees superstar is hitting .313 with 18 home runs, 55 RBIs and a 1.023 OPS (second in baseball). He's hardly had a bad game all year.
Pete Alonso ($5000 on DraftKings, $3300 on FanDuel)
Pete Alonso isn't having the most dominant year, but he still has 15 home runs so far. He's one of the few New York Mets players producing on offense at all, and you can take advantage on June 19.
Shohei Ohtani ($7000 on DraftKings, $5200 on FanDuel)
Shohei Ohtani is another good DFS pick every day. On Tuesday, he sent the longest home run ball of the season into the stands, and he's apt to do something like that again tonight against the Colorado Rockies.
Budget picks for MLB DFS June 19
Heliot Ramos ($4300 on DraftKings, $3900 on FanDuel)
San Francisco Giants star Heliot Ramos is hitting .328 with a .980 OPS. Those numbers are incredible and they're very hard to come by in the discounted range for DFS, so he should be picked today.
Francisco Lindor ($4800 on DraftKings, $3500 on FanDuel)
Francisco Lindor is struggling, but he does have 12 home runs on the season. At this price range, it's hard to find a player of his caliber, so you can take the chance that he'll bounce back and return to form today.
J.D. Martinez ($4300 on DraftKings, $3400 on Fanduel)
J.D. Martinez is hitting .292 with an .872 OPS. He's been quietly very good at the plate for the Mets, and he comes with a pretty good price for Daily Fantasy. Pick him up today and reap the benefits.
