MLB DFS Picks Today: Daily Fantasy Baseball Strategy and Tips For FanDuel, DraftKings (6/13/25)

Yoshinobu Yamamoto - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Zach's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Friday, 6/13/25. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.

All 30 MLB teams are back in action today, and the bulk of those games (12) are featured in tonight's main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings.

We have some aces on the bump tonight, such as Garrett Crochet, Logan Webb, Freddy Peralta, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who will be appealing options if you're willing to spend top dollar on pitching. It's nice that we don't have a Coors Field game, nor do we have any games in minor league stadiums, as the Athletics and Rays are both on the road, too.

This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/13/2025, with the slate starting at 7:05 p.m. EDT on FanDuel and 7:40 p.m. EDT on DraftKings. 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.

 

DraftKings, FanDuel Pitchers - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Yoshinobu Yamamoto - LAD vs. SFG ($10.6K DK; $10K FD)

Of all the aces pitching tonight, I like Yamamoto the most. He has the best matchup of the bunch against the Giants, a team that ranks 21st overall in wRC+ over the last month.

Yamamoto is a -175 favorite at home in what should be a great pitchers' duel with Logan Webb. His 3.01 SIERA is the third-best of any pitcher on the slate, trailing only Webb and Garrett Crochet (who has a tough matchup with the Yankees).

I'd pay up for Yamamoto in cash games; he has a very high floor, and I expect him to turn in a quality start tonight with around a strikeout per inning pitched.

Gavin Williams - CLE at SEA ($8K DK; $8.6K FD)

Jumping down to the mid-tier, Gavin Williams stands out as the most talented pitcher in this price range. He's been a bit too inconsistent this season, but the arrow is pointing up on this young right-hander.

Williams has gone for 40+ FanDuel points in three of his last six starts and will face the Mariners on the road in a pitcher-friendly venue. Seattle ranks just 23rd in wRC+ over the last month and has a 25% strikeout rate, so there's an opportunity for a big strikeout number for Williams in this matchup, too.

Colton Gordon - HOU vs. MIN ($6.6K DK; $7.3K FD)

The Houston rookie is my favorite pitcher on a point-per-dollar basis. He's pitched better than his ERA shows, as his SIERA is actually 3.1,1 and he's coming off his best start of the season against Cleveland. I think he's starting to round into form, and this matchup with Minnesota is a favorable one, as the Twins have whiffed 26% of the time against LHP over the last month.

Fire Gordon up as your SP2 on DraftKings or use him on FanDuel to fit in some of the more expensive hitters and stacks.

Also Consider: Logan Webb at LAD, Bryce Elder vs. COL

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

Gunnar Henderson, SS - BAL vs. Jack Kochanowicz ($4.7K DK; $3.1K FD)

The Orioles have been a major disappointment this season, but I don't think we should write them off for DFS or fantasy baseball. Gunnar Henderson hasn't had the season that many expected from him. However, he's still a very talented young player in a plus matchup here against Kochanowicz, who has terrible splits against LHH.

This is a great spot to buy low on Henderson, who is about as cheap as I can remember over the last two seasons.

Abraham Toro, 2B (FD only)/1B/3B - BOS vs. Ryan Yarbrough ($3.5K DK; $2.8K FD)

The Red Sox have been looking for answers on how to plug the gaps in their lineup after dealing with injuries to Triston Casas and Alex Bregman. One guy who has stepped up in a big way has been Toro, who can play pretty much anywhere but shortstop, and he's been hitting well from both sides of the plate.

His power has all come from the right side as he's hit all five home runs as a righty and has posted a .292 ISO and .422 wOBA. He's a cheap piece tonight that I love in this matchup against left-hander Ryan Yarbrough.

Jeff McNeil, 2B/OF - NYM vs. Taj Bradley ($4K DK; $2.9K FD)

There's nothing wrong with riding a hot bat, and McNeil is riding a six-game hitting streak with four home runs and 10 RBI. He's moved up to the five-hole in the lineup and is turning back the clock lately, reminding us of what an elite contact hitter he once was.

The price is nice and the production has been elite. Bradley is a solid pitcher, but he's prone to giving up the long ball, and I could see him laboring tonight against a Mets lineup that will take a lot of pitches and force him into deep counts.

Also Consider: Drake Baldwin (C), Jake Burger (1B), Ryan O'Hearn (1B/OF), Jeremy Pena (SS)

 

DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks

TJ Friedl, OF - CIN vs. Keider Montero ($4.7K DK; $3.3K FD)

The Tigers haven't officially announced a starter, but even if they use an opener, we likely see right-hander Keider Montero as the bulk reliever, and he's a guy that I don't mind targeting with opposing lefties.

Friedl has been an on-base machine for Cincy lately and has been showing off his power, too, slugging three home runs in his last six games. I'd love to see him steal more bases, but his overall profile has been really strong, and I like the price tonight in what should be a great spot for him to produce.

Christian Yelich, OF - MIL vs. Erick Fedde ($4.4K DK; $3.2K FD)

I love the Brewers tonight. Fedde has been quite bad this year and continues to show some pretty strong splits with lefties slashing .252/.333/.385 against him. He's done a decent job at keeping the ball in the ballpark this season, but he could have some major regression coming as his SIERA and xERA are both two runs higher than his actual ERA.

Fedde used to be a solid groundball pitcher, but his GB% is just 38.9% this year. I always love targeting Yelich against groundball pitchers who throw a ton of sinkers, as he's been an elite hitter against that prototype of pitcher in his career.

Mike Tauchman, OF - CWS ($3.5K DK; $3.2K FD)

The Rangers are probably going with a bullpen game tonight, which means Tauchman should see some very hittable relievers. He's been leading off for the White Sox and already has four home runs in his first 77 at-bats this season. I like his combination of power with solid on-base skills. He profiles much like Matt Wallner or Kyle Schwarber, but with less power and batting average.

Also Consider: Corbin Carroll (ARI), Juan Soto (NYM), Wyatt Langford (TEX), Ronald Acuna Jr. (ATL)

 

DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks

Atlanta Braves vs. German Marquez (Colorado)

Watch the weather here, but the initial forecast looks like just some light rain. The Braves are a tough team to figure out, but they are implied for nearly six runs by Vegas, and they're facing German Marquez, who has some of the worst metrics of any pitcher on the slate.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Erick Fedde (St. Louis)

The Brew Crew has been a pretty mediocre offense vs. RHP this season, but I am leaning into them tonight because they are a pretty affordable stack and they face Erick Fedde and his 5.28 xERA tonight. Fedde gives up a ton of contact (just 7% SwStr%) and has a walk rate of 10.7%. It's a great spot for Milwaukee to put up a crooked number tonight.

Also consider: Baltimore vs. Jack Kochanowicz, Arizona vs. Stephen Kolek
