The first Monday of the 2025 MLB season has arrived and there's a near full slate of games taking place. Some teams are starting earlier in the day with their home openers after beginning the season on the road, so there are more day games than on a usual Monday, which shrinks the MLB DFS player pool for those playing main slate, night formats. What can you take from the first four days of the 2025 MLB season to factor into building Monday MLB DFS lineups? Who has a slow start that should be faded and who has a hot bat that can finish as a top option in MLB DFS picks for Monday? Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, March 31, 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 Friday (when McClure last made MLB DFS picks), McClure identified Mets outfielder Juan Soto as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Soto went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk, returning 21.7 points on FanDuel and 16 points on DraftKings. 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 Monday is Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker at $6,000 on DraftKings and $4,200 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe ($3,500 on DraftKings and $2,900 on FanDuel). O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 on Opening Day with a home run after hitting 20 home runs last season. The Cardinals are starting right-handed pitcher Miles Mikolas against the Angels and the 36-year-old had a 5.35 ERA last season, his highest since 2014. 

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