MLB DFS Picks for 6/8/26: Daily Fantasy Baseball Strategy and Tips For FanDuel, DraftKings

Yordan Alvarez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Casey Wilson's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Monday, 6/8/26. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.

I love it when both FanDuel and DraftKings align with the early game window, and tonight that is what we have. There will be an eight-game slate tonight with plenty of options to go around. I love tonight's slate, so let's stay hot here at RotoBaller.

If you have not had a chance to check out my model, I will refer to it throughout this article. To get a better sense of where I am, not only on today's slate but on every slate, please give it a look. My plays are solely based on numbers, and this model is the brain behind the operation. I have also created a hitter model that is not public, but I will reference it in this article.

This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/8/2026, with the slate starting at 6:35 p.m. ET on DraftKings and on FanDuel. The lineup picks will showcase elite players, mid-priced options, and value plays. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports here. Monitoring injury news and today's MLB starting lineups is always essential.

 

Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel

Gavin Williams, SP - CLE ($8.7K DK/$10.9K FD)

Gavin Williams will square off at home against the New York Yankees tonight. The Yankees will be down Aaron Judge for a bit, so they are a team I don't mind attacking for the time being.

Williams has been tremendous this season for the Guardians, pitching to a 3.07 xFIP, 29.0% K%, 13.9% SwStr%, 1.08 WHIP, and 1.21 HR/9. He has a 2.80 xFIP, 27.0% K%, and a 15.5 % SwStr% over his L30. Williams has a 28.4% projected K% and 7.07 strikeouts in this matchup.

The Yankees have struggled a bit as of late against RHP. They have a 24.1% K%, .670 OPS, and a 90 wRC+ over the last 30 days. Now, with Judge down and replacing him with Spencer Jones, I expect even more regression. Williams is too cheap on DK and will be a contrarian play on FD tonight.

 

Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel

Milwaukee Brewers (Model-Projected IRT of 5.7 runs) vs. Jeffrey Springs

The Brew Crew is my top stack tonight as they make a trip to Sacramento to face Jeffrey Springs and the Athletics. It will be in the mid-80s at first pitch with a 10+ mph wind blowing out to dead CF. In this park, the wind is like Wrigley, so this is a major bump to bats.

This season, springs has been one to attack, especially in his home ballpark. He has allowed a 4.29 xFIP, 1.24 WHIP, 1.80 HR/9, and a 44.3% FB% this season. Over his last two starts, he has allowed a 1.73 WHIP, 3.12 HR/9, and a 37.9% Hard Hit%. In this park with the weather he will be pitching in tonight, if this recent trend continues, we will see several home runs.

The Brewers are heating up as they have a .777 OPS and a 128 wRC+ against LHP over their last 14 days. They have a 5.7 implied run total in my model tonight.

Favorite Targets: Christian Yelich, Andrew Vaughn, Jake Bauers, William Contreras, Garrett Mitchell

 

Top MLB DFS Hitter for DraftKings, FanDuel

Yordan Alvarez, OF - HOU ($6.2K DK/$4.3K FD)

Grayson Rodriguez has struggled mightily with LHH since his call-up to the big leagues this season. He has allowed a .502 wOBA, .314 ISO, and a 1.235 OPS this season against RHP. Alvarez is red hot against RHP. He has a .543 wOBA, .459 ISO, and a 1.338 OPS over his last 48 ABs. He is expensive but has elite upside.
