Top pitchers for MLB DFS August 6

Luis Castillo ($8200 on DraftKings)

Luis Castillo has earned a very solid 3.43 ERA, 130 strikeouts, and a 1.16 WHIP. He does have more losses than wins, but that's not his fault with a stat line like the one above. He's a great selection today vs. the Detroit Tigers.

Sonny Gray ($9600 on DraftKings)

Sonny Gray has been excellent this year (Imagn)

Sonny Gray has pitched well for the St. Louis Cardinals. He has a 10-6 record, 3.72 ERA, 147 strikeouts, and a 1.09 WHIP. He gets the struggling Tampa Bay Rays today, making him a good DFS pick.

Pablo Lopez ($8000 on DraftKings)

Minnesota Twins ace Pablo Lopez has been a very good player this year: 10 wins, 142 strikeouts, and a 1.14 WHIP. Today, he gets to face the Chicago Cubs who haven't been playing that well of late.

Top hitters for MLB DFS August 6

Francisco Lindor ($5900 on DraftKings)

For the last month or so, Francisco Lindor has been one of baseball's best hitters. His season tallies are impressive: .253 average, 22 home runs, 63 RBIs, .789 OPS. The New York Mets star should keep it going on August 6.

Jose Altuve ($5100 on DraftKings)

Jose Altuve has been a consistent force for the Houston Astros all year long. He has a top-10 batting average (.301), 14 home runs, and a .794 OPS. Today vs. the struggling Texas Rangers, he should have a good game.

Juan Soto ($6300 on DraftKings)

Pick Juan Soto today (Imagn)

Juan Soto has been excellent all year long. The star outfielder has a .310 batting average (fifth in baseball), 28 home runs (seventh), and a 1.035 OPS (second in MLB behind Aaron Judge). Pick him up.

Budget picks for MLB DFS August 6

Mark Vientos ($4500 on DraftKings)

Mark Vientos has hit two home runs in a week. The New York Mets star is also batting .280 for the year with a stellar .883 OPS. It's a surprise that he's even discounted to this price, one you can take full advantage of.

Austin Wells ($2700 on DraftKings)

Pick Austin Wells in DFS (Imagn)

Austin Wells has steadily improved of late. The catcher has the advantage of hitting behind Juan Soto (who walks a lot) and Aaron Judge (who teams are beginning to intentionally walk). The RBI opportunities are there and he has been cashing in with a 5/12 start to August.

Colton Cowser ($4300 on DraftKings)

Colton Cowser has a strong shot at winning the AL Rookie of the Year award. He's .253 with an OPS nearing .800. The Baltimore Orioles star is still a little cheaper on DraftKings, so you should take advantage.
