The Colorado Rockies fired manager Bud Black after Sunday's victory, but with that victory preceded by an eight-game losing streak, including allowing at least 10 runs in the previous four contests, including a 21-0 loss on Saturday, the move wasn't a shock. Picking options from the MLB DFS player pool from opposing teams against Colorado had been a profitable strategy, and a change in manager likely won't change that for daily Fantasy baseball players. The Rockies begin a three-game series with the Texas Rangers on Monday, so should your MLB DFS strategy feature Rangers like Jonah Heim, Adolis Garcia or Josh Smith in MLB DFS picks? 

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, May 12, 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 (when McClure last made MLB DFS picks), McClure identified Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, triple, home run and two RBI, returning 26 points on DraftKings and 34.2 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 Monday is Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll, who is $5,800 on DraftKings and $4,100 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford ($5,200 on DraftKings and $3,400 on FanDuel). McClure expects Colorado pitchers to continue to struggle. The Rockies are starting right-handed pitcher Chase Dollander, who has a 7.71 ERA over six starts this season. Langford is hitting .281 with an .825 OPS this season.

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