Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Friday, August 9, 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 Thursday, McClure identified Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy as a core part of his MLB DFS lineups on both sites. The result: McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI, returning 31.7 points on FanDuel and 24 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 Friday is Astros second baseman Jose Altuve at $5,300 on DraftKings and $3,500 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also targeting Braves catcher Sean Murphy ($4,000 on DraftKings and $3,100 on FanDuel). Murphy hasn't had as strong of a season this year, but he entered the season averaging 18.7 home runs over his previous three seasons and has been dominant over his career against the Rockies as the Braves begin a three-game series at Coors Field. Murphy is hitting .433 with a 1.185 OPS and seven extra-base hits over eight games in his career against Colorado. The Rockies are scheduled to start RHP Tanner Gordon, who has a 6.75 ERA over his first four career starts entering Friday.

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