A feature game for MLB DFS action will be the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets in London. Another good game for fantasy owners today will be the Yankees and Dodgers for their second game tonight.
With June’s first weekend underway, fantasy owners playing the MLB DFS pools could make great lineups for cash prizes today.
June 8th MLB DFS Starts
C William Contreras, Milwaukee Brewers at Detroit Tigers ($5,500 – DraftKings)
To start your MLB DFS Saturday, your first start should be William Contreras. In his last game, William Contreras went 1-5 and drove in two RBIs in the win against Detroit.
Milwaukee’s facing a Tigers pitching staff, and Contreras could have a great game for fantasy players. Milwaukee, this afternoon could have a good game and William Contreras could lead the charge.
2B/3B Jordan Westburg, Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays ($5,200 – DraftKings)
Another start for your MLB DFS line-up for this Saturday afternoon is Jordan Westburg. Jordan Westburg went 2-4 with a home run to beat the Rays yesterday.
For the Orioles right now, they could depend on Westburg and others to get some runs in today. Fantasy players should have Westburg on their line-up today to win big money for their fantasy pools.
OF Michael Conforto, San Francisco Giants at Texas Rangers ($4,400 – DraftKings)
The last start for your fantasy line-ups today is the San Francisco Giants, Michael Conforto. Conforto in the win against the Texas Rangers was 1-4 with a two-run home run.
This series has been good for Michael Conforto, with the home run and two hits this week. The Giants outfielder has been getting hot and could go on a hot streak in today’s game. Fantasy owners should have Conforto in their line-ups today.
June 8th MLB DFS Sits
2B Ozzie Albies, Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals ($5,200 – DraftKings)
To win your MLB DFS pool prizes, you must sit out players like Ozzie Albies who is struggling right now. In his last game, Albies went 0-4 and had only three hits in his last four games.
It is a shocking twist for the Braves’ second baseman, who is usually dependable for the team. Fantasy players should sit Albies down until there is improvement in his at-bats.
SS Elly De La Cruz Jr, Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds (5,800 – DraftKings)
Another benching that could help today’s MLB DFS line-ups is the Cincinnati Reds, Elly De La Cruz. While Cruz is doing fine this season, yesterday he went 0-3 in the win against the Cubs.
The inconsistency for Cruz could alienate fantasy players, and while his talent is there, the hitting for Cruz has not been there. De La Cruz should be sitting until there is consistency.
SS Gleyber Torres, Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees ($4,100 – DraftKings)
The last sit for today’s MLB DFS is Gleyber Torres for the New York Yankees against the Dodgers. Torres had struggled yesterday with a 0-3 game in the loss against the Dodgers last night.
Torress has been sluggish against the Dodgers and while it is a small sample, he has a .229 batting average. The season for Torres has been middling, and fantasy players should stay away from him.
June 8th MLB DFS Best Stack
For today’s MLB DFS stack, the Milwaukee Brewers trio of William Contreras, Willy Adamas, and Brice Turang. The power of Contreras and Adamas has been there for the Brewers since the start of the season. While the first two are already known, Brice Turang has been a revelation.
Brice Turang has been on a hot streak for the Brewers and could do well today for the stack. The four-hit game yesterday could help carry the Brewers stack alongside William Contreras and Willy Adamas. This MLB DFS stack could do wonders for fantasy players in their DraftKings Fantasy Sports pools.
These games will have many MLB DFS action to start at the end of the week and more coming to Total Apex Sports.
