MLB DFS, 2026: Top FanDuel, DraftKings picks, lineups, advice for Wednesday, April 8 from a daily Fantasy pro

All 30 MLB teams are in action on Wednesday, but it's getaway day as most of the contests are in the afternoon. Thus, you may have to lock in your MLB DFS lineups a bit earlier than usual with just four night games. However, those evening matchups are still loaded with big names in the daily Fantasy baseball player pool such as Elly De La Cruz, Alex Bregman, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Who will provide the most bang for your buck in regard to your MLB DFS salary cap?

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 Wednesday, McClure is rostering Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena ($5,300 on DraftKings, $3,600 on FanDuel). He is also stacking Pena with second baseman Jose Altuve at $5,500 on DraftKings and $4,000 on FanDuel. The nine-time All-Star leads the AL with 12 runs scored and ranks in the top five in OPS (1.076) and hits (14) ahead of a Wednesday game in hitter-friendly Coors Field.

McClure is also targeting an overlooked player who could go off for massive numbers on Wednesday! 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.
