Giants vs. Rockies isn't among the top MLB matchups in terms of playoff implications on Saturday, but daily Fantasy baseball players will have a close eye on this 8:10 p.m. ET matchup. The over/under for total runs is 10 as hitters will look to take advantage of both the thin air at Coors Field and two of the worst pitching staffs in the league. How should top hitters in that matchup such as Matt Chapman , Ryan McMahon and Brenton Doyle factor in your MLB DFS strategy?
McClure is a daily Fantasy pro who has won more than $2 million in his career. And when it comes to daily Fantasy baseball, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book "Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune" as a top MLB DFS player, McClure's proprietary projection model simulates each game 10,000 times, taking factors such as matchups and recent results into account. This allows him to find the best values on every site.
On Friday, McClure identified Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson as one of his top MLB DFS picks. The result: Henderson recorded four hits and scored three runs, returning 21.6 points on FanDuel and 18 on DraftKings. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Saturday is Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. at $4,400 on FanDuel and $6,300 on DraftKings. Witt showed no fatigue from his busy All-Star Week on Friday, recording three hits, including a home run, in a 7-1 win over the White Sox . Though he's one of the highest-priced players in the MLB DFS player pool, McClure has no problem paying up for Witt as he takes on righty Jonathan Cannon on Saturday.
McClure is also recommending Giants DH Jorge Soler ($3,500 on FanDuel, $4,800 on DraftKings), who faces lefty Kyle Freeland (6.00 ERA) at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Soler has significantly better splits against lefties and he's picked up two hits against Freeland in five career at-bats. See McClure's full MLB DFS player pool right here .
