Before you enter a DFS tournament for MLB action Wednesday, April 25, you need to hear what professional DFS player Mike McClure has to say. McClure has more than $1 million in career winnings and has cashed huge on tournament rosters for NFL, NBA, NHL, golf and NASCAR in the past year.
And when it comes to MLB, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book “Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune” as a top MLB DFS player, McClure is off to a hot start this season thanks to some spot-on picks.
On Tuesday, McClure rostered Rockies shortstop Trevor Story for $4,300 on DraftKings. The result: Story hit a grand slam and returned 22 DFS points — one of his better performances of the season. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a profitable night.
For Wednesday’s MLB slate, McClure is all over Athletics first baseman Matt Olson at $2,900 on FanDuel and $4,300 on DraftKings.
Olson’s average is up to .284 after recording three hits in his last couple games. The lefty hitter gets a favorable matchup on Wednesday against Rangers starter Doug Fister, a righty. Olson has a couple RBIs and a career average of .333 against Fister, so look for strong production at a reasonable price in this matchup.
Another pick McClure loves for Wednesday: Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields, who is $2,700 on FanDuel and $3,200 on DraftKings.
DeShields has been a nice boost for Texas since coming off the disabled list with a hand injury. He’s recorded three hits in his last two games and has created some havoc on the bases, stealing a couple bags during that span as well.
He gets an enticing matchup against struggling Oakland starter Kendall Graveman, who has an ERA of 10.07 and a WHIP of 1.88. DeShields could very well record at least one hit, a stolen base and a run in this matchup, leading to big DFS points.
McClure is also targeting a player capable of putting up massive numbers who gets a dream matchup on Wednesday. The stars are aligning for him to go for 40 points on FanDuel and DraftKings. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
