Million Dollar Musings: MLB DFS Picks Today for Wednesday 6/3
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 3, 2026 MLB DFS slate.
Happy Wednesday! We have a 9-game slate on DK that starts at the usual 7:05 PM ET, while FD is starting a little earlier at 6:40 PM ET to include 2 additional games (SD/PHI and BAL/BOS). This slate appears to be heavily skewed towards a top tier of elite pitchers, and then similar to last night, the offense is all pretty muddled and lacking any clear best answers.
There is also an early 3-game slate that starts at 1:05 PM ET, and if you’re playing that one, we’ll have some Expert tags and analysis available in our MLB DFS optimizer, LineupHQ.
Wednesday Pitching: MLB DFS Picks on DraftKings and FanDuel
We have a strong top tier, with several of the league’s best pitchers. It’s tough to choose between them, and it’s even tougher on FD where they add Cristopher Sanchez to the mix. We also have an interesting mid-tier beyond those aces, where we have pitchers with upside but also quite a bit of risk from either their skills or matchups.
TOP TIER PITCHING
- Shohei Ohtani at Diamondbacks – 28.6% K, 8% BB, 0.82 ERA, 3.22 SIERA
- Paul Skenes at Astros – 29.4% K, 4.7% BB, 2.89 ERA, 2.84 SIERA
- Chase Burns vs. Royals – 28.9% K, 8% BB, 1.96 ERA, 3.25 SIERA
- Gerrit Cole vs. Guardians – 3rd start of season
- Cristopher Sanchez vs. Padres (FD) – 29.4% K, 5% BB, 1.47 ERA, 2.55 SIERA
I’ll start on FD, where Cristopher Sanchez brings his incredible 44-inning scoreless streak to the slate. He’s been incredible for 2 straight seasons, with elite strikeout ability, some of the best control in the league, and a 58% ground-ball rate on top of it. Eventually, he’ll allow a run, but even when he does, whoop-de-do, it will probably be just 1 run. Even on this loaded of a slate at his appropriately high salary, he’s the SP1. I don’t think you have to lock anyone in who costs $11,800, but we don’t need to pretend like he’s not the best pitcher.
The notable salary on FD, and arguably the top option on DK as well, is…
