MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for August 11, 2023

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel on Friday, August 11, you NEED to see the top MLB DFS picks from Mike McClure. McClure is a daily Fantasy pro with over $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 Thursday, McClure highlighted Phillies shortstop Trea Turner as one of his top picks in his MLB DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, returning 16 points on DraftKings and 22.2 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 Friday is Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt ($5,900 on DraftKings and $3,400 on FanDuel). McClure's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes stacking Goldschmidt with third baseman Nolan Arenado ($5,700 on DraftKings and $3,300 on FanDuel). The eight-time All-Star is riding an eight-game hitting streak into Friday, batting .333 with a .917 OPS in August. The right-handed hitter is batting .289 with an .847 OPS against right-handed pitching this season as the Royals, who are one of three teams to allow at least 600 runs this season, are scheduled to use RHP Dylan Coleman as an opener.

McClure is also targeting a player who is set to EXPLODE for huge numbers on Friday! 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!
