SportsLine analyst identifies key MLB DFS values for July 27

Mike McClure, a predictive data engineer at SportsLine and daily fantasy sports professional with over $2 million in career winnings, has released his optimal lineups for Major League Baseball games on Monday, 27 July. Utilising a predictive model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, McClure identifies Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin and Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt as top picks for the day.

The MLB schedule for Monday features 12 games, with all but one starting at 6:40 p.m. ET or later. McClure highlights the Blue Jays at Nationals matchup, noting Washington’s status as the highest-scoring team in baseball and an over/under of 10 runs. Conversely, the Phillies vs. Marlins game features Zack Wheeler pitching for Philadelphia, with a lower total of 7.5 runs, suggesting runs may be at a premium.

Caleb Durbin is priced at $3,300 on DraftKings and $2,900 on FanDuel. He is recommended due to improved performance in June and July and a favourable matchup against Athletics starter Jack Perkins, who has an ERA of 6.75. Durbin has been a catalyst for Boston’s recent run, with numbers improving significantly in the latter part of the season.

Paul Goldschmidt is priced at $3,700 on DraftKings and $3,300 on FanDuel. He is selected for his strong performance against left-handed pitching in a matchup against White Sox lefty Noah Schultz, who has a season ERA of 6.04. McClure notes that Goldschmidt hits lefties extremely hard, making him an ideal selection for the Yankees first baseman.

McClure utilises a predictive model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times to determine optimal lineups. The model takes factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account to find the best MLB DFS values on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel.
