Today's MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel advice for Friday, June 7
SP: Yonny Chirinos, Rays @ Red Sox. I am rolling Chirinos on FD where he is $1,600 cheaper than on DK. The lone downside to FanDuel is Chirinos has rarely pitched deep enough into games to get the quality start points, but he's still had a quietly strong season.
C: James McCann, White Sox @ Royals. McCann is hitting .330 with an OPS of .846 against RHP this season. After years of usually only using McCann against LHP, we can now safely use him against RHPs, especially if that RHP is named Homer Bailey.

1B: Pete Alonso, Mets vs. Rockies. We love the power upside here for Alonso, as 14 of his 20 home runs have come against RHPs this season. I can see stacking Mets a popular strategy tonight against Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela, who has been awful no matter where he has pitched this season.
2B: Brian Dozier, Nationals @ Padres. Dozier has struggled in general this season, but he has mashed southpaws. Against LHPs he is hitting .372 with three home runs and an OPS of 1.147, so take advantage against Nick Margevicius.
SS: Jean Segura, Phillies vs. Reds. Segura has been slumping and the way to attack Reds starter Tyler Mahle is with lefthanded bats, but I like Segura's price and know he has upside. I'm also hoping the Phillies chase Mahle early and we get Segura against that bullpen.
3B: Rafael Devers, Red Sox vs. Rays. Devers was the American League Player of the Month in May and hasn't really stopped hitting through the first week of June. I don't see many using Red Sox tonight, but Devers should be in any and all stacks in my opinion.
OF: Khris Davis, A's @ Rangers. I love the home run upside here, and Davis has usually hit better against RHPs than LHP.s He has never homered off Lance Lynn, but with Lynn throwing a lot of fastballs, we know Davis just needs one good swing to make a big splash in GPPs.
