- Friday's MLB slate features 13 games including a Padres-Dodgers NL West matchup, with first pitch ranging from 4:05 p.m. to 10:10 p.m. ET, and other top pool names including Shohei Ohtani, Gerrit Cole, Juan Soto, Gunnar Henderson and Pete Alonso
- Rafael Devers is among McClure's top picks at $4,300 on DraftKings and $3,600 on FanDuel, riding a six-game hit streak with three homers and a double in that span, batting .242 with 24 doubles, 15 homers and 44 RBI on the season
- Luis Arraez draws another top recommendation at $4,700 on DK and $3,700 on FD, hitting .326 with 18 doubles, seven triples, four homers, 32 RBI and six steals, with hits in eight of his past nine games including a 3-for-4 Tuesday with a triple and homer
- Mike McClure, a DFS pro with over $2 million in career winnings, uses a SportsLine predictive model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, factoring in matchups, statistical trends and injuries
- McClure is also teasing one additional player with what he calls an optimal matchup who could deliver massive numbers, saying the pick could be the difference between winning tournaments and cash games or going home empty
Why it matters: With 13 games on the holiday-weekend slate and a fixed DFS salary cap, every roster slot carries real opportunity cost. McClure's model-driven shortlist — Devers at $4,300 DK with a six-game hit streak and Arraez at $4,700 DK batting .326 — gives bettors a data-backed anchor, while his highest-ceiling matchup pick sits behind a SportsLine subscription.
