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.
