The 2025 MLB season continues with a full 15-game slate on the Wednesday MLB schedule, with games being played throughout the day. With options like Pete Alonso, Jose Ramirez, and Kyle Tucker in the MLB DFS player pool and available for MLB DFS lineups, who should daily Fantasy baseball players feature in a Wednesday MLB DFS strategy?
Before making your MLB DFS picks on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, August 13, you NEED to see the top MLB DFS picks from Mike McClure. McClure is a daily Fantasy pro with over $2 million in career winnings.Â
When it comes to MLB, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book “Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune,” McClure’s proprietary MLB DFS 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 Tuesday, McClure highlighted Padres pitcher Nestor Cortes as one of his top starting pitchers for MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Cortes allowed one run on six hits with one walk and six strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings, returning 16.3 points on DraftKings and 29 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day!
One of McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for Wednesday is Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, who is $5,400 on DraftKings and $3,600 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. McClure is also rostering Dodgers 2B/SS/OF Mookie Betts ($4,700 on DraftKings and $3,200 on FanDuel). The eight-time All-Star enters on a seven-game hitting streak, batting .400 with a 1.022 OPS and eight runs scored over that span. Betts also has a home run and five RBI over his last seven games.
McClure is also targeting a player who is set to EXPLODE for huge numbers on Wednesday! The stars are aligning for him to return tournament-winning value, and he comes at a price that won’t break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing in big or going home with nothing!
