MLB DFS Picks & Insights for June 5, 2026
Friday’s MLB slate features several strong offensive spots, but one team stands above the rest early in our research process.
Early Stack to Watch: Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers draw a favorable matchup in one of the best hitting environments on today’s slate. With a high game total and several hitters projected near the top of the lineup, Milwaukee is one of the first offenses our models highlighted this morning.
Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, and Jake Bauers are all names we’ll continue monitoring as lineups become official.
Early Value Play
Gavin Sheets is one value bat showing up across multiple projections.
The Padres slugger is currently projected to hit in the middle of the lineup and enters the day in a favorable matchup. If he remains in the starting lineup, he could become one of the better salary-saving options available.
