MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, fantasy lineup advice for Tuesday, April 8, 2025
Daily Fantasy millionaire Mike McClure shares his top MLB DFS picks and stacks for Tuesday
After a tough weather day contributed to only 78 runs being scored over 11 games on Monday, the Tuesday MLB weather forecast looks a little more conducive to scoring. Temperatures will still be in the 30s and 40s at stadium across the East Coast and Midwest, but less precipitation and more favorable wind conditions should aid in run production as there are several games with over/unders of 8 or higher.
So how big of a factor should weather be as you craft your MLB DFS strategy and who are the best options in the MLB DFS player pool? Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Tuesday, April 8, 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 Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach as one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Schwellenbach only allowed two hits over eight shutout innings and struck out 10 without issuing a walk in a win over Marlins, returning 40.8 points on DraftKings and 64 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 Padres outfielder Brandon Lockridge at $2,300 on DraftKings and $2,400 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson ($5,500 on DraftKings and $3,700 on FanDuel). After winning AL Rookie of the Year honors in 2023, Henderson emerged as an MVP candidate in 2024 by posting an .893 OPS with 37 home runs, 92 RBI and 21 stolen bases. After battling a minor injury to start the season, Henderson went 1-for-13 over his first three games but did deliver a multi-hit game and steal two bases with two runs scored on Monday.
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!
