Today's MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel advice for Wednesday, June 26
SP: Mike Minor, Rangers @ Tigers. There's really no slowing Minor down. He has a 2.62 ERA over his past 10 starts and just tossed eight innings of one-run ball against the Indians. The Tigers offense is pretty abysmal, and they sit 23d in wOBA vs. southpaws with the second highest strikeout rate.
C: Yadier Molina, Cardinals vs. A's. Just always priced perfectly is Molina. He is a safe bat that hits in the middle of the Cardinals lineup, and while the Cards are struggling, you can be sure that Molina will usually be part of the production when they do score.

1B: Joey Votto, Reds @ Angels. You get a nice cheap value play here in Votto, who is hitting .300 over the past week with two home runs. It has been a slow start to the year for Votto, but things might finally be starting to turn around.
2B: Dee Gordon, Mariners @ Brewers. I just love the speed he brings to the table, and while he isn't having the best month he makes for a nice contrarian play here tonight as I doubt many will be on Seattle.
SS: Trea Turner, Nationals @ Marlins. Many like Zac Gallen tonight, so I don't see Turner or the rest of the Nats being popular, which could very well be a mistake. I am a big fan of Turner in DFS because of his multi-category upside.
3B: Jose Osuna, Pirates @ Astros. Osuna is a guy you want in your lineup when the Pirates are facing a southpaw . This season in a limited sample size he is 5-for-16 with two doubles and a home run off lefties. Last year he had an OPS of .833 off lefties.
OF: Christian Yelich, Brewers vs. Mariners. You should never need a reason to play Yelich. But he is hitting .398 with eight home runs during June, so if you did need some convincing maybe that would do the trick.
