MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for August 20, 2021

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups for daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel on Friday, August 20, 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 Thursday, McClure included Reds pitcher Luis Castillo as one of his top pitching options on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The result: Castillo gave up just one earned run and one walk while striking out seven across seven innings. He returned 49 points on FanDuel and 26.35 points on DraftKings, so anybody who had him in their lineup was well on the way to a profitable day.

One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Friday is Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette at $5,200 on DraftKings and $3,700 on FanDuel. Part of McClure's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes rostering Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies ($5,800 on DraftKings, $4,400 on FanDuel), who gets a mouthwatering matchup against Orioles starting pitcher Keegan Akin (0-7, 8.13 ERA) on Friday. 

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!
