MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for April 17, 2023

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel on Monday, April 17, you NEED to see the top MLB DFS picks from Mike McClure. McClure is a daily Fantasy pro with nearly $2 million in career winnings. 

When it comes to MLB, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book "Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune," McClure's proprietary MLB DFS projection model simulates each game 10,000 times, taking factors such as matchups and recent results into account. This allows him to find the best values on every site.

On Sunday, McClure highlighted Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen as one of his top MLB DFS picks. The result: Gallen threw six scoreless innings in a win over the Marlins, striking out seven to return 31.2 points on DraftKings and 51 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Monday is Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes at $2,900 on FanDuel and $3,800 on DraftKings. McClure's MLB DFS strategy also includes rostering Rockies OF/3B Kris Bryant at $3,100 on FanDuel and $5,500 on DraftKings. The 2015 NL Rookie of the Year and 2016 NL MVP joined the Rockies last year and posted a .851 OPS over 42 games. But so far in 2023, he's hitting .295 and he has a career .909 OPS in Coors Field, where he'll play on Monday against the Pirates.

McClure is also targeting a player who is set to EXPLODE for huge numbers on Monday! The stars are aligning for him to return tournament-winning value, and he comes at a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing in big or going home with nothing!
