MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for September 8, 2022

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like FanDuel and DraftKings on Thursday, September 8, 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 Wednesday, McClure highlighted Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt as one of his top players on DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Goldschmidt had a home run and a walk in St. Louis' 6-5 win against Washington to return 18 points on DraftKings and 24.9 points on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Thursday is Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, who is listed at $6,400 on DraftKings and $5,100 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's MLB DFS strategy includes stacking Judge with New York OF/DH Giancarlo Stanton ($5,600 on DraftKings and $2,700 on FanDuel). Stanton has gone hitless in his last two games, but should be able to get things turned around on Thursday against the Twins and starting pitcher Sonny Gray. Stanton is 2-for-5 all-time against Gray, and has hit 24 home runs with 64 RBI overall this season.

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