DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/29/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 15-game main slate on tap tonight, and there should be hitting for days. There is also pitching for days tonight. Some aces headline the way with Woodruff, Ray, Walker Buehler, and others.

Dodgers To Slow Play Corey Seager's Rehab

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that shortstop Corey Seager's (hand) fracture "just isn't responding" like the team had hoped. Seager has not swung a bat since last week.
