Our Underdog MLB Pick'em predictions for Sunday, June 21, 2026, spotlight two MLB player props worth targeting on today’s action-packed MLB slate.

If you are building your Underdog Pick'em entry for today’s MLB slate, here is the full case for where we land on both and why the MLB DFS projections set up the way they do.

 

 

 

What are the Best Underdog MLB Pick'em Picks Today?

Today’s two best Underdog Fantasy MLB Pick'em plays are Travis Bazzana over 6.5 fantasy points and Bryce Eldridge over 5.5 fantasy points. Both props are supported by matchup data, current streaks, and favorable line construction heading into an action-packed day of baseball. Read below for the complete analysis on each.

 

Travis Bazzana HIGHER than 6.5 Fantasy Points

Given that Bazzana just went bonkers last night, it might feel like we are chasing yesterday a bit, but fear not, it’s an outstanding matchup for the rookie infielder today. Yes, he had four hits yesterday with two home runs, so that makes the numbers of late look even more impressive, but in the seven games prior to last night’s offensive outburst, Bazzana had a .478 SLG and .395 wOBA. He is sporting a .327 AVG and .429 wOBA against right-handed pitching on the year, and his numbers on the road are more impressive than his marks at home.

Kai-Wei Teng will toe the rubber for the Astros this afternoon, and he has struggled mightily of late. Over his last four starts, covering 17.1 IP, he’s served up an 8.83 ERA, 7.66 FIP, and 3.12 HR/9! Furthermore, he’s had his fair share of issues against left-handed hitters, allowing a .553 SLG, .408 wOBA, and 2.45 HR/9.

He’s cleared 6.5 fantasy points in four straight games, and I like his odds to extend it to five this afternoon.

 

 

 

Bryce Eldridge HIGHER than 5.5 Fantasy Points

Eldridge has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, slashing .359/.457/.718 during that stretch with four home runs, six runs scored, and 10 RBI! His willingness to take a walk certainly helps, especially with playing his fantasy points line today. He’ll take on Ryan Gusto today, a right-hander, and Eldridge has a .918 OPS, .223 ISO, and .396 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season. Furthermore, he’s hit .314 on the road this year, and 5.5 fantasy points is a favorable line against Gusto, considering I love Eldridge’s individual matchup, but the Giants offense as a whole is in a great spot.

As a starter in 2026, Gusto has a 6.75 ERA, 5.82 FIP, 1.69 HR/9, and 6:5 K/BB ratio across three starts (10.2 IP). Left-handed hitters have been his kryptonite this year, as lefties have hit .324 with a .384 wOBA and .876 OPS. Think it’s fluky because of the small sample size? Well, in 2025, lefties posted a .321 AVG, .971 OPS, .413 wOBA, and 2.59 HR/9 against him.

Lefties against Gusto have been a good bet for a while now, and hitting in the heart of the San Francisco lineup with lefties around him should be an all-around positive for Eldridge’s props today.
