With a 15-game schedule set for Monday, July 20, McClure’s analysis points to specific value picks on DraftKings and FanDuel amidst a crowded player pool.
Daily fantasy sports professional Mike McClure has released his key selections for the Monday Major League Baseball slate, utilising a predictive data model hosted by SportsLine. The model simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, accounting for matchups, statistical trends, and injuries to identify optimal lineups across platforms such as DraftKings and FanDuel.
McClure, a predictive data engineer with more than $2 million in career winnings, has identified Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams as a primary pick. Priced at $6,400 on DraftKings and $4,300 on FanDuel, Abrams has demonstrated consistent offensive production this season. In 96 games, he is batting .277 with 19 doubles, two triples, 21 home runs, and 70 RBIs.
The second highlighted selection is Washington first baseman Andres Chaparro, who is noted for a recent offensive surge. Chaparro is priced at $3,300 on DraftKings and $3,100 on FanDuel. His recent form includes a four-hit performance with two home runs and eight RBIs in a 23-4 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday. Over 33 games this season, Chaparro has recorded three doubles, three home runs, and 15 RBIs.
The Monday schedule features 15 games, with first pitches ranging from 6:40 p.m. ET to 10:10 p.m. ET. The broader DFS player pool includes notable names such as Jacob Misiorowski, Dylan Cease, Freddy Peralta, Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Schwarber, James Wood, Mike Trout, Elly De La Cruz, Bryce Harper, and Julio Rodriguez. Due to salary cap constraints, users must judiciously select players to compose their lineups.
