Whether you are looking for the top pitchers or the best stacks, Dave Potts (aka CheeseIsGood) has you covered with an extensive deep dive into his MLB DFS picks today. Cheese, one of the preeminent baseball minds in all of fantasy sports and a winner of a $1,000,000 1st-place prize on both DraftKings and FanDuel, is here to muse about the June 10, 2026 MLB DFS slate.

Happy Wednesday! We’ve got one more night of this Coors Field / Las Vegas Ballpark combo skewing the slate heavily towards an obvious top tier of offenses. Just like last night, we also have a big second tier of offenses that all have a best-case-scenario upside to match those high-total games.

The sites are quite a bit different tonight, with FD adding an additional 4 games to their slate for an earlier 6:35 PM ET start time. That adds a second ace to the FD slate, as opposed to just one ace all alone up top on the DK slate.

There is also an earlier 4-game slate on DK that starts at 1:10 PM ET. If you are playing that slate, we’ll have Expert tags and analysis in our MLB DFS optimizer, LineupHQ.

Wednesday Pitching: MLB DFS Picks on DraftKings and FanDuel

This is a slate with one very obvious standout on DK, and then a huge salary gap down to everything else. There is a second ace added to the mix on FD, and generally, there is very different pricing overall between the two sites.

TOP TIER PITCHING

• Chris Sale at White Sox – 29.3% K, 6.5% BB, 2.23 ERA, 3.03 SIERA
• Shohei Ohtani at Pirates (FD) – 28.8% K, 7.7% BB, 0.74 ERA, 3.17 SIERA
• Davis Martin vs. Braves – 25.3% K, 5.9% BB, 2.61 ERA, 3.34 SIERA
• Jesus Luzardo at Blue Jays – 25.6% K, 6.7% BB, 4.56 ERA, 3.34 SIERA
• MacKenzie Gore at Royals – 24.7% K, 10.6% BB, 4.23 ERA, 4.09 SIERA
• Peter Lambert at Angels – 22% K, 11.7% BB, 3.55 ERA, 4.52 SIERA
• Shota Imanaga at Rockies – 24% K, 6.2% BB, 4.74 ERA, 3.67 SIERA
• George Kirby at Orioles (FD) – 19.8% K, 5.6% BB, 4.04 ERA, 3.72 SIERA

We have one clear top ace on DK and two on FD, and they are priced accordingly. On the DK side, Chris Sale is all the way up at $11,000, before a drop-off to a $9,500 Davis Martin, and then no other pitchers on the slate above $8,500. Sale is clearly the best pitcher, but we can also look back and say that he’s had a ‘have to have it’ start in only 1 of his last 5 starts. With his strikeout ability and pitch count, he always has a slate-breaking ceiling, but if he lands in the range of 20-25 DK points, I’m not sure you’ll want that for $11,000.

On FD, we add Shohei Ohtani up top, and he has been even more consistent than Sale, with just 5 runs allowed in 61 innings this season. They both have the ceiling where you could be sunk without them, although Ohtani has also been a bit more in the realm of being consistently great rather than posting true slate-breaking scores.

Between the two of them, I have a slight preference for Sale over Ohtani on FD. The strikeouts in their matchups are pretty similar – I would just prefer to avoid the power of the Pirates lefties, while the White Sox are a better matchup for left-handed pitchers. It’s very close, but I’ll go with Sale.

With both of these guys, they are clearly the best pitchers, and there is no world in which I would play anyone ahead of them if everyone had the same salary. But I want to wait and see what else we find on this slate before deciding whether these are must-plays. At first glance, I’m not super inspired by the rest of the slate and am leaning towards spending up, but let’s see what happens.
