MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for August 26, 2022
Daily Fantasy millionaire Mike McClure shares his top MLB DFS picks
Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy for FanDuel on Friday, August 26, 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 Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette in his MLB DFS player pool on DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Bichette finished as the top-scoring Fantasy shortstop after he went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the Blue Jays' 6-5 win against Boston to return 19 Fantasy points on DraftKings and 25 points on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
For Friday, one of McClure's top MLB DFS picks is Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber, who is listed at $5,800 on DraftKings and $3,300 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes stacking Schwarber with first baseman Rhys Hoskins ($4,700 on DraftKings and $3,400 on FanDuel). Hoskins finished without a hit in the Phillies 4-0 win over Cincinnati on Thursday, but he was instrumental in Philadelphia's win on Wednesday. He had two hits and three RBI in the Phillies 7-5 win against the Reds, and for the season, he has 26 home runs with 63 RBI.
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!
