Day 2 of the 2025 MLB season brings two DraftKings Pick 6 victories


Day two of the 2025 MLB season and was my second day of playing Draft Kings Pick 6 in the regular season.


I started pick 6 in the last weeks of the 2024 NFL season and did awesome. (see previous stories).


Since then I have struggled with basketball as I don’t really follow it that close and I struggled with the spring training games as you never know how many innings the players will play.


Day one of the regular season was kind of a bust as I only banked $16 out of many $1 bets.


For day two I changed my approached from day one, which was just a wild scrambled pick and guess. I also found myself in a Fanduel frame of mind, which doesn't work.


Day two paid off a tad better then Day 1 as I even nailed a 6 of 6 pick. 

Toronto Blue Jay Bo Bichette came through with more than 1.5 bases. His teammate Vlad Guerrero Jr. did the same. A trio from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Lourdes Gurriel Jr, Ketel Marte and Eugenio Suarez did the same as did San Diego Padre Fernando Tatis Jr.

The payout was $39.19 Not bad for a $1 bet.



I also nailed a 4 of 4 pick by selecting  

Houston Astro Yordan Alvarez, Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani, Atlanta Braves Matt Olson and new Chicago Cub Kyle Tucker, in the walk category. The payout was an $9.80 payout.


There were many other lineups that were so close to being fulfilled.

My first double digit win on Draft Kings Pick 6 baseball games

 



I just won double digits for the first time on Draft Kings Pick 6 baseball.


I did a Pick 3 lineup during spring training and turned $1 into $53. Now granted it is not the $100s and $1000s that some win, but for a $1 bet. It works for me.


I chose Sonny Gray of the St. Louis Cardinals and predicted that he would throw less than 4.5 strikeouts. I was correct, as he struck out four but was not able to get that fifth one.


Then I selected New York Mets Juan Soto and Mark Vientos and predicted that they would slug homers, and they did. Therefore my 3 of 3 pick was accurate. Soto and Vientos paid a bonus, therefore my winnings added up to $53.28.


Here is hoping that my baseball knowledge and the DraftKings Pick6 games combine for a winning 2025 season.

 This weekend I played DraftKings Pick6 for the first time and I’m hooked. A free $50 promo persuaded me to give it a try.
