MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for August 26, 2023

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel on Saturday, 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 Friday, McClure highlighted Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider as his top pitcher in the MLB DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Strider became the first 15-game winner in the MLB, throwing seven strong innings of one-run baseball against the Giants. He struck out nine batters, returning 33.35 points on DraftKings and 55 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 Saturday is White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson ($3,100 on DraftKings and $2,500 on FanDuel). McClure's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes stacking Anderson with outfielder Andrew Benintendi ($3,400 on DraftKings and $2,900 on FanDuel). Benintendi went hitless on Friday, but he was on a six-game hitting streak prior to that performance. He has scored six runs in his last six games, homering twice during that stretch. 

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