MLB DFS Preview & Top Stacks for Friday, June 26, 2026
Friday’s MLB slate gives fantasy players several clear offenses to target, a handful of strong pitching options, and multiple games that could decide tournaments. As lineups continue to update throughout the day, make sure to check the latest information on the FantasyLineups MLB Starting Lineups page for confirmed batting orders, weather updates, and starting pitchers.
Brewers Lead the Way
Milwaukee enters Friday as one of the strongest offenses on the board. The Brewers are sizable favorites at home against the Cubs and have one of the slate’s top implied run totals.
Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, and Brice Turang provide plenty of upside in both cash games and tournaments. Jake Bauers also offers salary relief while still hitting in a favorable lineup spot.
As always, monitor the latest batting orders on our MLB Starting Lineups page before lock.
Tigers Continue to Offer Upside
Detroit remains one of the more interesting offenses on the slate. Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, and Spencer Torkelson all bring home run potential, while the Tigers continue to generate quality at-bats throughout the middle of the lineup.
Kerry Carpenter stands out as one of the stronger value bats available Friday and could become one of the more popular plays on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
Baltimore Could Be the Difference
The Orioles may go overlooked despite favorable hitting conditions. Gunnar Henderson, Pete Alonso, and Coby Mayo provide considerable power upside against Washington.
Baltimore’s lineup offers tournament appeal, especially if ownership remains concentrated on Milwaukee and Detroit.

Top Pitching Option
Jacob Misiorowski continues to establish himself as one of baseball’s premier strikeout pitchers. Milwaukee enters as a heavy favorite, and his strikeout ability gives him one of the highest ceilings on the slate.
Luis Castillo also draws an appealing matchup against Cleveland, while Zack Wheeler remains in play for tournaments.
Value Bats to Watch
Kerry Carpenter, Detroit
One of the top value plays on the slate with power upside against right-handed pitching.
Jake Bauers, Milwaukee
Affordable exposure to one of the best offenses of the night.
Coby Mayo, Baltimore
Middle-of-the-order upside and excellent tournament value.
Weather Notes
