MLB Fantasy Picks: Best Starts, Sits & Value Plays — 2026-06-04

Welcome back to SportsPulse.com, DFS fanatics! Another thrilling week of MLB action is in the books, highlighted by the Braves' commanding 7-3 victory over the Blue Jays, showcasing Atlanta's potent offense. As we gear up for the next slate, here are your top picks for DraftKings and FanDuel to keep your lineups loaded for success.

1. Ronald Acuña Jr. (ATL): After contributing to the Braves' decisive 7-3 win, Acuña Jr. is locked in. He’s slashing .333 with 2 HRs and 5 SBs over his last seven games, reminding everyone why he's an MVP. Facing a string of hittable right-handers this week, his multi-category production makes him a must-start, especially with the Braves offense clicking. 2. Corbin Burnes (BAL): Burnes has been nothing short of dominant, boasting a sub-2.00 ERA and an elite 10.5 K/9 rate over his last three starts. He's stifled opposing lineups, allowing just one earned run in his previous outing. With a favorable matchup against a struggling lineup, Burnes is primed for another high-strikeout, low-run gem, securing big points for your rotation. 3. Kyle Tucker (HOU): Quietly consistent, Tucker is scorching hot at the plate. He's hitting .350 with 3 HRs and 8 RBIs in the past week, proving his elite power-speed combo. He's facing pitching staffs notorious for giving up dingers and extra-base hits, making him a prime candidate to exploit those matchups and deliver a massive fantasy output.

1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (TOR): The Blue Jays' offense struggled, putting up only 3 runs against the Braves, and Vladdy Jr. has been part of that inconsistency. While his talent is undeniable, he's hitting just .220 with one HR in his last 10 games, and is scheduled to face a pair of high-strikeout aces this week. His high salary isn't justified by his current form and tough matchups. 2. Randy Arozarena (TB): Arozarena is known for his streaky play, and unfortunately, he's in a cold spell, batting a paltry .180 with a high strikeout rate over the last two weeks. He's showing poor plate discipline and is up against some tough left-handed pitching, which has historically been a challenge for him
