It has been a while but I finally scored a first place finish on Fan Duel for a smooth $70 win. Still doesn't beat my one time $600 win, but it is a win.

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

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.
