There are 28 teams in action on Friday, and why you think that would provide a rather robust MLB DFS player pool, think again. Several of the games are afternoon affairs, so if you're looking to play the main night slate with daily Fantasy baseball, then you have a lot fewer options to target as MLB DFS picks. Still though, the likes of Ketel Marte, Trea Turner, Marcus Semien and Kyle Schwarber have night games and are some of the best players available for your MLB DFS strategy. Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Friday, April 4, 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 (when McClure last made MLB DFS picks), McClure identified Phillies catcher JT Realmuto as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Realmuto went 3-for-3 with two stolen bases and a walk, returning 23 points on DraftKings and 27.2 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day!
One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Friday is Dodgers SS/OF Mookie Betts at $6,000 on DraftKings and $4,300 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Braves third baseman Austin Riley ($4,200 on DraftKings and $3,400 on FanDuel). After going hitless in four straight games, Riley finally broke that slump with a hit on Wednesday before being off on Thursday. He's also had nice success versus Friday probable, Max Meyer, with a homer and triple from five at-bats versus the Marlins starter.
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!
