                        MLB DFS: Top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy baseball picks include Jackson Chourio on Friday, June 5
Predictive data engineer utilises simulation model to identify optimal lineups for DraftKings and FanDuel

Mike McClure, a daily fantasy sports professional and predictive data engineer at SportsLine, has released his top MLB fantasy baseball picks for Friday, June 5. With over $2 million in career winnings, McClure utilises a simulation model that runs 10,000 iterations per game to identify optimal lineups for DraftKings and FanDuel. His featured selections include Milwaukee Brewers outfielders Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich, based on Chourio’s recent four-game series performance and Yelich’s strong batting average against right-handed pitching. The advice is published via SportsLine, which is promoted within CBS Sports’ 'Golazo' digital newsletter.

The MLB schedule for June 5 features 15 games, with first pitches ranging from 2:20 p.m. ET to 10:10 p.m. ET. Other players mentioned as top options in the DFS pool include Bobby Witt Jr., Jose Ramirez, James Wood, Brady Singer, Corbin Carroll, Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Juan Soto, and Mike Trout. Finding someone who can outperform his price tags on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings is key to constructing a winning MLB DFS strategy.

Chourio, priced at $5,900 on DraftKings and $4,200 on FanDuel, is highlighted after going 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBIs in a 12-9 loss to San Francisco on Thursday. Chourio has recorded 8 hits in 13 at-bats over the past four games, including two doubles and two home runs. McClure’s model accounts for matchups, statistical trends, and injuries to determine value.

Christian Yelich, listed at $5,800 on DraftKings and $4,100 on FanDuel, is selected based on strong recent form, with 15 hits in 41 at-bats over the past 10 games, raising his batting average by 27 points. Yelich is scheduled to face Colorado Rockies right-handed pitcher Tanner Gordon on Friday night. He is a lifetime .291 hitter against right-handed pitchers.
