Casey Wilson's top DraftKings and FanDuel MLB DFS picks for today, Friday, 6/26/26. His favorite daily fantasy baseball lineup sleepers and value picks for DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel.
We have a massive 13-game Friday night MLB DFS slate on our hands. I love tonight's slate because there are no obvious stakes or arms to click tonight. There will be plenty of options to go around tonight, so it is a slate where we want to make sure we pay attention to ownership and avoid anything that becomes obvious chalk.
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 6/26/2026, with the slate starting at 7:05 p.m. ET on DraftKings on FanDuel.

Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel
Joey Cantillo, SP - CLE ($7.4K DK/$7.9K FD)
I cannot believe I am writing this, but Joey Cantillo is my SP1 tonight. He is in great form and gets a great matchup with the Seattle Mariners, who are struggling as of late. He is projected to have a 23.2% K% and 4.94 strikeouts in this matchup.
Cantillo is in great form, pitching to a 3.21 xFIP, 27.0% K%, 1.22 WHIP, and a 1.50 HR/9. The Mariners this season have a 22.8% K%, .618 OPS, and an 80 wRC+ against the split. The 3.8 implied run total is among the lowest in my model, and at this price, Cantillo's projection makes him an excellent value play.
Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel
Minnesota Twins (Model-Projected IRT of 5.4 runs) vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
The Twins are by far and away my top stack on the board tonight. They will square off against Tomoyuki Sugano and the Colorado Rockies bullpen tonight. The Twins have a 5.4 implied run total tonight and are in a good-hitting environment at Target Field, one of MLB's better-hitting parks.
The Twins are on fire at the moment. They have a .824 OPS and a 125 wRC+ against RHP over the last 30 days and a .933 OPS and a 156 wRC+ over the last 14 days. Sugano has a 4.96 xFIP, 1.29 WHIP, 1.59 HR/9, 42.3% FB%, and a 39.2% Hard Hit% this season. Load up on the Twins tonight.
Favorite Targets: Brooks Lee, Victor Caratini, Kody Clemens, Byron Buxton, Trevor Larnach, Josh Bell
Top MLB DFS Hitter for DraftKings, FanDuel
Jac Caglianone, 1B/OF - KCR ($4.6K DK/$3.2K FD)
Jac Caglianone is one of the top hitters in my model and is on fire. He is the hottest hitter on the planet. He has a .466 wOBA, .433 ISO, and a 1.116 OPS against RHP over his last 34 ABs. David Sandlin has a .452 wOBA, .278 ISO, and a 1.097 OPS against LHH this season. Load up on Cags as a one-off tonight, as often as you can. He most likely is going to hit another home run.
