MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, fantasy lineup advice for Tuesday, May 20, 2025

Yankees fans weren't pleased with Cody Bellinger's production as the Juan Soto replacement early into the 2025 MLB season. But after a huge performance in the Subway Series against the Mets and currently riding a 13-game hitting streak, the last two weeks of Bellinger are more what Yankees fans and daily Fantasy baseball players expected entering the year. The Yankees traded for Bellinger in the offseason and he's hitting .377 with a 1.129 over his 13-game hitting streak as a strong addition to MLB DFS lineups lately. Bellinger had a grand slam against the Mets on Sunday for his second straight game with a home run, so how should he factor into your Tuesday MLB DFS strategy?  

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Tuesday, May 20, 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 Monday, McClure identified Phillies outfielder Alec Bohm as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Bohm went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, returning 19 points on DraftKings and 25.2 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 Tuesday is Astros second baseman/outfielder Jose Altuve, who is $4,000 on DraftKings and $2,700 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos ($5,300 on DraftKings and $3,300 on FanDuel). Castellanos went 2-for-5 with two runs scored against Colorado on Monday as the Phillies continue their series against the struggling Rockies. Colorado is starting 30-year-old  Antonio Senzatela on Tuesday, and the right-handed pitcher had a 6.39 ERA over nine starts this season.

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!
