The Dodgers got the brooms out against the Brewers, but the ALCS isn't over yet. We have a Game 6 on Sunday with the Blue Jays back at home versus the Mariners. We are also looking at a pitching matchup featuring Trey Yesavage facing Logan Gilbert. At least, that'll be how it starts. And the odds are neither one goes over four innings.
For your DFS lineup, you have $60,000 in salary for six players. One will be your MVP. While that slot carries an elevated salary, it'll also net you 1.5 times the points. This is the lineup I liked.

MVP
Vladimir Guerrero, TOR vs. SEA ($16,800): No need to get cute with my MVP. Guerrero has hit better than anybody this postseason leading with a 1.495 OPS alongside five homers, three doubles, and 11 RBI. Gilbert is a very good pitcher, but it would need to be somebody like Tarik Skubal or Paul Skenes in a single-game scenario for me to hesitate about selecting Guerrero.
Utility
Cal Raleigh, SEA at TOR ($14,000): After my MVP, I have the player who would make a cool AL MVP in real life (even if Aaron Judge was actually a bit better). Again, I'm not overthinking it. Raleigh was Seattle's best hitter during the regular season and has been during the playoffs by posting a 1.127 OPS and four home runs.
Jorge Polanco, SEA at TOR ($8,000): Polanco has cooled off some, yet has also slugged .475 in the postseason while hitting 26 home runs during the regular season. He's also the kind of switch-hitter you like to have in the bullpen-heavy playoffs with an OPS over .800 against both righties and lefties.
Eugenio Suarez, SEA at TOR ($7,800): At this point, it's worth noting that right-handed bats averaged .333 against Yesavage across his first three starts even though he's a righty. His go-to pitch works better against lefties, so I opted for the right-handed power of Suarez. Speaking of that, he hit two homers in Game 5 and slugged .552 versus righties overall.
Alejandro Kirk, TOR vs. SEA ($6,800): Kirk usually hits more for average as his .282 average and .421 slugging percentage indicate. This postseason has been a bit different as he's batting .222 while slugging .500 with three homers. At this salary, either hitting profile would work and Kirk has generally hit for more power at home by slugging .424.
Nathan Lukes, TOR vs. SEA ($6,000): The hitter who usually isn't relied upon but enjoying a big postseason is usually a nice low-salary DFS option to have. And that hitter in 2025 would be Lukes as he's gone .333 while supplying three doubles. He's also a lefty, and the Mariners rely heavily on righties - including Sunday's projected starter Gilbert.
