Today's MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel advice for Friday, June 14

SP: Eduardo Rodriguez, Red Sox @ Orioles. Rodriguez allowed two runs while striking out eight over 6.2 innings against the O's earlier this season. He has been up and down all year long, but this is a good matchup for him against a bad O's lineup.

C: Yasmani Grandal, Brewers @ Giants. Grandal is 3-for-8 with a home run in his career off Drew Pomeranz. Against LHPs this season, Grandal is hitting .306 with an OPS of 1.034.

1B: Dan Vogelbach, Mariners @ A's. Vogelbach continues to mash, hitting .366 during the month of June. The power upside is here to stay and so should his place in the Mariners lineup. A's starter Chris Bassitt is averaging about a home run allowed per start this season with six of the eight coming against LHHs.

2B: Ozzie Albies, Braves vs. Phillies. The kid is killing it right now, hitting .343 with three home runs and an OPS of 1.220 over his last 10 games. Normally I am only in on Albies against LHPs, but I will take the talent here while he is hot.

SS: Trea Turner, Nationals vs. Diamondbacks. Turner is hitting .333 with an OPS of .890 against LHPs this season. As I said, I like Robbie Ray, but the Nats against southpaws are pretty dangerous.

3B: Matt Chapman, A's vs. Mariners. Chapman is 5-for-13 with four doubles in his career off Marco Gonzales. I think stacking this game could be very interesting in DFS. Despite the .200 average against LHP this season, Chapman still has an OPS of .869.

OF: David Dahl, Rockies vs. Padres. Coors stack galore tonight. Dahl is hitting .325 over the last 10 games. At home this season he hitting .379 with four home his six home runs.
