Koby's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Saturday, 6/14/25. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.
Welcome Back, RotoBallers! We have a solid eight-game slate for y'all on both sites. We might need to keep an eye on a few weather issues. The Braves, Mets, and Orioles games all have possible weather delays due to some possible rain. Keep an eye on those games, as we should have more clarity on whether we can play those games or not.
As long as the weather stays friendly, we should have some solid games on the slate for us. We also have some aces who may be worth spending up for, like Hunter Brown, Jacob deGrom, and Spencer Strider, all lined up to start.
This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/14/2025, with the slate starting at 4:05 p.m. EDT. 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
Spencer Strider - ATL vs. COL ($9.6K DK; $9.2K FD)
I know Strider hasn't been quite his normal self this season, but this price and matchup are too hard to ignore. Colorado has the fourth-worst wRC+ at 87 against RHP across the last three weeks. This will be Strider's best matchup of the season so far, and it feels weird to get him at a discount.
Only Jacob deGrom has better odds to get the win on this slate outside of Strider. Strider should only continue to get better as he gets more and more starts under his belt, and regaining his confidence in this one is going to be big for him.
Jacob deGrom - TEX vs. CWS ($10.3K DK; $10.5K FD)
Jacob deGrom has been great in four of his last five starts. Gained a quality start in all four of those starts and a win in three of them. He gets an elite matchup here against the White Sox, who have the second-worst wRC+ at 80 against RHP. Jacob deGrom is one of the top spend-up options on the slate with his 25.5% K% to go along with an impressive 14.1% SwStr%.
The White Sox have been a bit better in the strikeout department, but are still near 23% against RHP. Texas should have no issue getting the win here against the White Sox too only adding to the reasons why to start deGrom.

Tyler Anderson - LAA vs. BAL ($7.3K DK; $7.8K FD)
Tyler has started to lose his control a bit, but he has shown bright spots this season. Baltimore has been awful against LHP in the last three weeks as well. They have a 61 wRC+, which is seventh worst in the league, and a god awful ISO of .067, which is second worst.
Baltimore is also striking out a ton to LHP with a 25% K%. If we can get a relatively decent game from Anderson, he could be solid value at his price. He makes for a great SP2 on DK or a punt pitcher on FD.
Also Consider: Joe Ryan at HOU, Tylor Megill vs. TBR

DraftKings, FanDuel Infielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Matt Olson, 1B - ATL vs. Chase Dollander ($5.2K DK; $3.6K FD)
Chase Dollander has been getting smoked by LHH this season. So who else but the lefty himself, Matt Olson! Dollander has a .511 SLG and .375 wOBA against LHH this season. Matt Olson has been great recently, coming off a three-hit game last night against German Marquez to go with three runs and RBIs.
The power is there with two home runs in his last seven games. I'm expecting a big game for the LHH in the lineup for this one, and Olson is going to be at the top of all my Braves stacks.
Alejandro Kirk, C - TOR vs. Christopher Sanchez ($3.7K DK; $2.8K FD)
I don't love Toronto as a whole for this one, but Alejandro Kirk has been too good to ignore recently. His power seems to be creeping back, and he has 17 hits in eight games, pushing his season average up to .328. He also hits LHP extremely well with a .450 SLG and .370 wOBA on the season. Kirk makes for an elite one-off spot in the catcher position.
Alejandro Kirk is a top 5 player in baseball over the last month.

Marcus Semien, 2B - TEX vs. Mike Vasil ($3.2K DK; $3.1K FD)
I'm surprised there hasn't been much of a price adjustment on Semien recently. He has 14 hits in June so far and double-digit scoring in six of those games. He has been swinging the bat much better after a cold start to the season. The way the Rangers are hitting lately, they probably get Vasil out of the game early and make this one a bullpen game, giving Semien ample opportunities to continue his hot hitting.
Also Consider: Pete Alonso (1B), Josh Smith (1B/SS/3B/2B), Jacob Wilson (SS), Luis Urias (3B/2B)
DraftKings, FanDuel Outfielders - MLB DFS Lineup Picks
Kyle Schwarber, OF - PHI vs. Bowden Francis ($5.4K DK; $4.3K FD)
Bowden Francis is god awful against LHH. Kyle Schwarber destroyed RHP. This one is not hard, don't overthink it. Bowden has given up a .647 SLG and .425 wOBA to LHH this season.
He is one of the top targets on the slate, and even though he is expensive, I'm going to do everything I can to have him in my lineups today. Schwarber has a .481 SLG and .362 against RHP this season. If you are looking for similar but cheaper, then Max Kepler is in the same boat for over 1k cheaper.
Brent Rooker, OF - ATH vs. Michael Lorenzen ($5.1K DK; $3.4K FD)
I usually like to take Rooker against LHP, but I like him in this spot as well against Lorenzen. Lorenzen throws his changeup nearly 20% of the time, and Rooker has loved his offspeed stuff this season as he has a .SLG of .556 on offspeed pitches.
Lorenzen is also a bit more prone to RHH this season, as they SLG of .497 and a wOBA of .352 this season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Rooker take him yard on this slate.
Brandon Nimmo, OF - NYM ($4.3K DK; $3.1K FD)
Brandon Nimmo has been red hot at the plate recently, and he has double-digit fantasy scoring in eight of his last twelve games. He is also coming off three home runs in his last three games. He gets a good matchup against a RHP in Drew Rasmussen. Rasmussen has been solid this season, but I think he is catching the Mets at the wrong time, so I'm going to side with the hot hand in this one.
Brandon Nimmo’s last 16 games:
.323 AVG (20 for 62)
.391 OBP (6 BB, 1 HBP)
1.004 OPS
3 2B
5 HR
10 RBI
14 R
3 SBNimmo has been red hot lately🔥🔥

Also Consider: Max Kepler (PHI), Christian Yelich (MIL), Ronald Acuna Jr. (ATL), Michael Harris II(ATL)
DraftKings, FanDuel MLB DFS Stacks
New York Mets vs. Drew Rasmussen (Tampa Bay Rays)
The Braves will be the chalk stack against Colorado, but what about the Mets? They have the highest wRC+ against RHP across the last three with a 146! They have a wOBA of .375 and an ISO of .255! The Mets are hot right now and seeing the ball well, keep an eye on the weather, but we should end up being okay here.
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Bowden Francis (Toronto Blue Jays)
The Phillies have been a mediocre offense, but I can't ignore a matchup like this one against Bowden Francis, who just hasn't been able to get it together this season. He has an ERA of 6.12 on the season and leads the majors in home runs given up at 19! The Phillies looked solid in their win last night against the Blue Jays. Let's hope they can replicate it again here against an even worse pitcher.
Sneaky Stack: Athletics vs. Michael Lorenzen (Kansas City Royals)
Athletics have been rising the ranks recently, the offense is doing better, and it has shown as they have the sixth-best wRC+ at 126 so far this month against RHP. Before Lorenzen's last start against the White Sox, he was blown up by the Cardinals and Reds in back-to-back starts for 6+ runs. The Royals are sliding right now, perfect time to take a shot on the Athletics.
Also consider: Atlanta vs. Chase Dollander, Texas vs. Mike Vasil
