MLB DFS, 2026: Top FanDuel, DraftKings picks, lineups, advice for Monday, May 25 from a daily Fantasy pro

A somewhat limited MLB DFS player pool on Monday is lacking depth with just a handful of night games. However, one could target a couple of lineups with their MLB DFS picks as those teams are facing struggling pitchers. Texas faces Astros SP, Tatsuya Imai, who has an 8.31 ERA, while the Dodgers take on Colorado SP, Tanner Gordon, who has a 6.59 ERA. So, who among the likes of Josh Jung, Jake Burger, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman should you roster in Monday's daily Fantasy baseball lineups?

Before making any MLB DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for this slate, you need to see what Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings. He's also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account.

This allows him to find the best MLB DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any MLB DFS player.

For Monday, one of McClure's top MLB DFS picks is Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge ($6,500 DraftKings, 4,300 FanDuel). He's also stacking Judge with third baseman Ryan McMahon ($2,300 DraftKings, $2,500 FanDuel). After a slow start, McMahon's OPS has jumped 90 points in May compared to March/April, and all four of his homers this year have come against RHPs, as righty Michael Wacha will take the mound for Kansas City on Monday.

McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for massive numbers on Monday! This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing. You absolutely need to see who it is before locking in any lineups.
