MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, fantasy lineup advice for May 21, 2024

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Tuesday, May 21, 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 Monday, McClure highlighted Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo as one of his top picks in his MLB DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI, returning 22.5 points on FanDuel and 17 on DraftKings. 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 Tuesday is Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. at $3,900 on FanDuel and $6,000 on DraftKings. McClure is also targeting Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson ($4,100 on DraftKings and $2,800 on FanDuel). Torkelson has at least one hit in 12 of his last 14 games, including his third home run of the season on Sunday. He's gotten off to a slower power start this season but after hitting 31 home runs with 94 RBI in his second MLB season last year, the power potential is clearly there. Despite the power struggles, he's continued to show strong plate discipline with a chase rate better than 80% of the sport and Royals probable starter Alec Marsh has multiple walks in three of his last four starts.

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