- Jazz Chisholm headlines McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Wednesday after a two-homer, 5-RBI game Tuesday and a five-game hitting streak with 7 RBI and 5 runs, priced at $4,300 on DraftKings and $3,200 on FanDuel with 26 stolen bases (second-most in the AL).
- Chandler Simpson is McClure's other featured pick, a Rays outfielder ($3,500 DraftKings, $2,700 FanDuel) who recorded four hits Tuesday and nine hits over his last four games, with 24 stolen bases (third-most in the AL) and a .414 average against Toronto this season.
- Ty France of San Diego is highlighted as a value play, riding a nine-game hit streak with five homers and 11 RBI but priced outside the top 15 most expensive first basemen on DraftKings and FanDuel.
- Mike McClure is a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings whose prediction model simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times using matchups, statistical trends, and injuries to identify optimal lineups.
- Wednesday's MLB schedule features 17 games including two doubleheaders, with roughly half forming the main DFS slate that still includes stars like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Yordan Alvarez, and Junior Caminero.
- McClure is targeting a third unnamed player with an "optimal matchup" he says could post massive numbers and be the difference between winning tournaments and cash games or going home empty.
Why it matters: McClure's model-driven approach balances high-priced stars with cheaper contributors like Chisholm at $4,300 on DraftKings — who offers rare power-plus-speed (26 SB, second-most in the AL) — and Simpson, whose .414 mark against the Blue Jays points to a strong matchup. For DFS players, choosing the right mix of expensive bats and value plays is what separates cashing lineups from busting on a 17-game slate.
