Blake Krass makes his MLB fantasy baseball DraftKings Pick6 selections for Saturday’s slate.
The 2025 MLB season is heading down the final stretch. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Baseball!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for today’s MLB slate.
Kyle Schwarber More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Kyle Schwarber has been on a tear this season and is in the thick of an NL MVP race with Shohei Ohtani. Schwarber leads the National League with 49 home runs and leads the entire MLB with 119 RBIs this season. Schwarber’s numbers have been incredible this season in every way, but he has been slightly better against lefties in 2025. He has a .974 OPS against lefties this season, and he has hit 19 of his 49 home runs off southpaws despite far fewer plate appearances against lefties. Schwarber has also been great against today’s Braves starter, Chris Sale, in his career. He is batting .364 with two home runs in just 12 career at-bats against Sale. Schwarber should register an extra-base hit today and get over this number.
Teoscar Hernandez More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Teoscar Hernandez has been one of the best hitters in baseball against lefties this season. Hernandez is batting .303 with a .925 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season. That gives him a 148 tOPS+ against lefties this year, showing how much better he has been against southpaws compared to right-handers. Hernandez has solid power numbers on the year, with 21 home runs and 77 RBIs. He has hit a home run once about every 14 at-bats against lefties this season, and has a great chance to hit one tonight. Hernandez is 10/23 with three home runs in his career against tonight’s Diamondbacks starter, Eduardo Rodriguez. Between his history against Rodriguez and how well he has hit off lefties all season, Hernandez should get over this number against Arizona.
Francisco Lindor More Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Francisco Lindor has hit a hot streak recently, coinciding with his team’s great play. After going on a horrible run to throw away their division lead over the span of a few weeks, the Mets have won six of their past eight games. They finally look like the team that once had the best record in baseball once again. Lindor has played a big part in their resurgence. Over the past two weeks, Lindor is batting .404 with a 1.004 OPS. He has a 113 tOPS+ against right-handed pitchers this season, so he should keep things going against Edward Cabrera today. Lindor also has a 130 tOPS+ at home this season, so he will be happy to be at Citi Field. With the way the rest of the Mets’ lineup is hitting, Lindor should have no problem generating at least one run as well to get over this number.
What is DraftKings Pick6?
Pick6 is a peer-to-peer fantasy variant where you build a lineup (your “Pick Set”) of 2+ players and select whether or not you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection. Enter your Pick Set in Pick6 contests to compete against other users. Get enough picks correct and win a share of cash prizes.
How to Play
Create a Pick Set
Create a Pick Set by choosing 2+ players from the same sport and Pick Group (a set of picks available from a group of set competitions).

In each Pick Set, you can not pick the same player twice, and you must pick players from at least two different teams.
