Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is one of the game's preeminent power hitters and the left-handed slugger enters Tuesday as the National League leader with 11 home runs. Philadelphia is in Tampa Bay this evening and with temperatures expected in the mid-80s for a 7:05 p.m. ET and a gentle breeze blowing out to right-center field -- conditions that are ideal for lefties with power. That will make Schwarber a popular option for MLB DFS lineups on Tuesday.  

So who much exposure should you have to Schwarber on Tuesday and who else in the MLB DFS player pool should you be targeting? Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Tuesday, May 6, 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 Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Ragans threw five shutout innings and struck out 11 in a win over the White Sox, returning 34.2 points on DraftKings and 54 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 Royals 3B/OF Jonathan India, who is $3,100 on DraftKings and $2,700 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez ($4,800 on DraftKings and $3,400 on FanDuel). The 24-year-old was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2022 and is already a two-time all-star. He'll match up with Athletics lefty Jeffrey Springs on Tuesday and sports a .958 career OPS against the A's.

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!
