Blue Jays at Nationals is the game to target for offense on Monday, with an over/under of 10 runs as Washington has the highest-scoring team in baseball.
MLB DFS players will be looking for big performances from the Blue Jays and Nationals as they take on each other at Nationals Park. The game is expected to be a high-scoring affair, with Washington's high-powered offense facing off against Toronto's potent lineup.
One of the key matchups to watch will be the Phillies vs. Marlins, where Zack Wheeler takes the mound for Philadelphia in a game with a total of 7.5 runs. Runs could be at a premium in this one, with Wheeler's strong performance on the hill.
DFS players will need to be judicious with their lineup selections, as there is only so much salary cap space available. Before making any picks, it's a good idea to check out the MLB DFS advice and player rankings from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings, and he's also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine. He uses a powerful prediction model to simulate every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends, and injuries into account.
McClure has turned his attention to Monday's MLB action and has locked in his top daily Fantasy baseball picks. One of his top picks is Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin, who has been on a hot streak in June and July. Durbin has a great matchup against the struggling Athletics pitching staff and starter Jack Perkins.
Another key pick from McClure is Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who hits lefties extremely hard. He has an ideal matchup against White Sox lefty Noah Schultz, who has a 6.04 ERA on the season.
