- Friday's MLB slate features 15 games with rivalry matchups including Yankees-Red Sox, Dodgers-Padres and Cubs-Brewers, with first pitches from 6:40 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. ET
- Mike McClure, a DFS pro with over $2 million in career winnings, runs a predictive model at SportsLine that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times to identify optimal lineups
- Gabriel Moreno ($3,900 DraftKings, $3,100 FanDuel) headlines McClure's picks, riding a nine-game hitting streak that includes a 3-for-3 performance with a double; the Diamondbacks catcher is hitting .278 with six homers and 26 RBI in 53 games
- Ketel Marte ($5,000 DraftKings, $3,400 FanDuel) is McClure's book-end play, coming off seven hits in 18 at-bats across his last four games with two doubles, one homer and three RBI
- Broader player pool options flagged include Jacob Misiorowski, Zack Wheeler, Nick Kurtz, Shohei Ohtani, Byron Buxton, Freddie Freeman, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Fernando Tatis and Corbin Carroll, forcing salary-cap decisions
- McClure's remaining picks are gated behind SportsLine's paywall, including an unnamed player he targets for a high-upside matchup that could decide tournament versus cash-game outcomes
Why it matters: Daily Fantasy baseball players competing on DraftKings and FanDuel Friday face a salary-cap crunch across 15 games, and McClure's 10,000-times-per-game simulation model is designed to surface value plays like the $3,100 Moreno and $3,400 Marte that cheaper lineups can stack around star picks such as Ohtani and Freeman.
