Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Thursday, August 1, 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 Wednesday, McClure identified Padres pitcher Dylan Cease as his top-ranked starting pitcher in the MLB DFS player pool and one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Cease allowed one run on three hits with three walks with six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings, returning 38 points on FanDuel and 23.1 points 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 Thursday is Braves first baseman Matt Olson at $5,000 on DraftKings and $3,200 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also targeting Royals catcher/first baseman Salvador Perez ($4,900 on DraftKings and $3,000 on FanDuel). Perez went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday. He has two multi-hit games over his last three contests and the slugging catcher is third at his position in home runs (19). The Royals are scheduled to face Tigers starter Keider Montero, who has allowed five earned runs in each of his last three starts.

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