DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/7/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Ronald Acuna Jr. - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, Betting Picks

The top daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel and DraftKings on June 7th 2022. Mark Kieffer's MLB DFS analysis and sleepers for building optimal DFS rosters.

Welcome back my fellow RotoBallers to our free daily article for MLB DFS lineup picks and value plays.  It's Tuesday and we're ready to rock out with a full slate of MLB games. This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel and DraftKings on 6/7/2022, Main Slate at 7:05 pm Eastern Time.

The lineup will range from some elite players to mid-priced options, and value plays. The main slate is 12 games on DraftKings and FanDuel with a lot of different routes one can go with lineup construction and tournament strategy.

You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports. It's also essential to monitor injury news and today's MLB starting lineups. If you have any questions or comments, find me on Twitter @Mark_Kieffer and ask away!

Today's MLB Weather Outlook

Something that need not be overlooked is the weather. Stacking a team in a rainout or rostering a pitcher in a favorable matchup with forecasted weather in the middle of the game can be devastating. Tonight, Detroit vs. Pittsburgh, Chicago Cubs vs. Baltimore, Oakland vs. Atlanta, and Toronto vs. Kansas City, have rain in the forecast.

Check the weather reports closer to lock and updates on our daily MLB starting lineups page to ensure those games are being played prior to lock. If it is looking dicey and lineups are about to lock, my quickest advice would be to fade those games and find values elsewhere.

 

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Carlos Rodon - P, SF vs. COL ($10,300 DK, $9,900 FD)

In a cash format, I prefer Carlos Rodon over some of the other higher-priced pitchers on the slate tonight. Although the Rockies do not strike out, they have the eighth-lowest strikeout rate at 20.8%, they just don't score runs way from home. As a team at home, they have a .345 on-base percentage, a .441 slugging percentage, and average 5.8 runs per game. On the road, they have a .301 on-base percentage, a .344 slugging percentage, and average 3.0 runs per game. He might not have the same strikeout upside, but I like his matchup better than the rest of the fantasy "aces" tonight.

Kyle Wright - P, ATL vs. OAK ($10,100 DK, $10,500 FD)

I like Wright as a tournament play if looking to spend up. On paper, he would be 1B to Rodon's 1A. He has a 27.5% strikeout rate, a 3.43 SIERA, allows just 0.45 HR/9, and is facing an Oakland offense that is horrible. Oakland is tied for the fifth-highest strikeout rate (24.2%) and has scored the second-fewest runs in all of baseball. There is some rain in the forecast, which is why I cannot recommend him for cash games, but if things are looking solid closer to lock, he is a good option to use as there is more strikeout upside than Rodon, and is also a very strong favorite to win.

Jeffrey Springs - P, TAM vs. STL ($6,300 DK, $8,700 FD)

Jeffrey Springs is mispriced on DraftKings, and that is something we can take advantage of. Springs has a 28% strikeout rate (second-highest on the slate), a 2.99 SIERA (second-best on the slate), and although the Cardinals have one of the lowest strikeout rates in baseball, the Rays are favored in this game.

Mitch White - P, LAD @ CWS ($6,100 DK, $5,800 FD)

How bad have the White Sox been offensively this year? Why not consider taking the pitcher with a 3.65 SIERA, 25.3% strikeout rate against them as a punt play?

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Yandy Diaz - 3B, TB vs. Dakota Hudson ($3,900 DK, $2,900 FD)

It is very difficult to find value at third base, it is just priced really efficiently. Dakota Hudson has a 5.13 SIERA and just a 13% strikeout rate. The Rays should make contact and score some runs. While Diaz offers practically no power (0.087 ISO), he is a solid floor play with a .422 on base percentage and 9.2% strikeout rate. Would not recommend him for tournaments but can slot in for a cash game. On FanDuel, I also like Tommy La Stella ($2,800), likely leading off against German Marquez. Marquez, typically good away from Colorado, has struggled this year as he has a 6.89 ERA and 1.72 WHIP on the road. For tournament options: Austin Riley, Manny Machado, and Rafael Devers are all good options.

Luis Urias - SS, MIL vs. Ranger Suarez ($3,800 DK, $3,400 FD)

In his career, Urias has a .354 wOBA and .194 ISO against left-handed pitching compared to .305 wOBA and .138 ISO against right handed pitching. Ranger Suarez has a 4.40 SIERA and a 10.2% walk rate. This is a good spot for Urias. Good tournament options here are Bo Bichette, Dansby Swanson, Trae Turner, and Xander Bogaerts.

Jake Cronenworth - 2B, SD vs. Taijuan Walker  ($4,100 DK, $3,100 FD)

Taijuan Walker has a 4.93 SIERA and a 12.95% strikeout rate. Cronenworth should bat second in the order, and the Padres should score some runs. Cronenworth has struggled, batting .214 with a .300 OBP and .133 ISO. He did hit a home run on each of June 4th and June 5th, so perhaps he is snapping out of the cold streak. He is viable in cash and GPP tonight.

Jared Walsh - 1B, LAA vs. Garrett Whitlock ($3,800 DK, $3,400 FD)

Jared Walsh is batting .254 with a .207 ISO this season. Whitlock is actually a pretty good pitcher, it is just difficult to find any good first base options below the $4K-$5K range on the sites. Vlad, Rizzo, and Goldschmidt are all viable if you have the salary.

 

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Andrew McCutchen - OF, MIL vs. Ranger Suarez ($3,500 DK, $2,700 FD)

McCutchen has a .401 wOBA and .242 ISO career against left-handed pitchers. It is a .259 wOBA and .173 ISO this season, but it's a 52 at-bat sample. He is likely to lead it off and I am willing to take a shot on him having a good day against a below-average pitcher.

Ronald Acuna Jr. - OF, ATL vs. Cole Irvin ($6,300 DK, $4,100 FD)

This is more of a FanDuel than DraftKings recommendation. Acuna might be the best hitter on the slate and he is the 9th most expensive hitter on the slate. On FanDuel, he would be a priority if the weather holds up in this one. On DraftKings, it is difficult to get value at $6,300 and he is probably a fade. On the season, Acuna has a .313 average, .408 on-base percentage, and 10 stolen bases. He is striking out often, 30% of the time, and the power has not shown yet, but he hit a home run on Sunday, so he might be heating up.

Kyle Tucker - OF, HOU vs. Chris Flexen ($4,600 DK, $3,400 FD)

It's hard to say this is a value, but I like the Astros and he is one of the less expensive ones with upside. Flexen has a 4.71 SIERA and is allowing 1.46 HR/9 this season.

 

DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks

Here are a few stacks I am really liking today:

San Francisco Giants - German Marquez has a road ERA north of 6.00 this season. He is allowing 1.8 HR/9 as well as allowing a lot of hits. Colorado's bullpen is also the worst in baseball.

Houston Astros - They are expensive but facing Chris Flexen and his 4.71 SIERA. I like Altuve-Bregman-Alvarez-Tucker as the core of the stack. You will have to find values all over the place to fit this in though.

Tampa Bay Rays - Dakota Hudson has a 5.13 SIERA and an 11.2% walk rate. This could be a sneakier stack and when the lineup comes out, there are some potential opportunities to get creative with this stack as well.

Boston Red Sox - Also an expensive stack, but Detmers has a 4.65 SIERA and allows 1.4 HR/9. The weather should be warm with the wind blowing to left field in this game as well.

Atlanta Braves- Cole Irvin has a high SIERA (4.58), low strikeout rate (14.8%). Atlanta is dangerous. Make sure the weather is OK to play.

And finally, I need to say a word about a potential high leverage pitcher:

Cole Sands - The Yankees are implied for five runs and will likely be a popular stack. Sands has a 3.64 SIERA and a 27% strikeout rate. Walks are a concern here at 10.8% rate. He is pitching better than his salary despite the rough-looking surface stats.
