Daily Fantasy Baseball Suggestions: Top Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on August 11, 2025, Include Lineup Strategies and Expert Guidance
In the world of Major League Baseball (MLB) Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), Mike McClure, a seasoned expert with over $2 million in career winnings, is making his picks for Monday, August 11.
McClure's proprietary projection model simulates each game 10,000 times, providing valuable insights into the DFS player pool. Among his top picks for the day is Yandy Diaz, the first baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Rays begin a series against the Oakland Athletics, with Jeffrey Springs as their starting left-handed pitcher. Diaz, priced at $5,000 on DraftKings and $3,000 on FanDuel, is a strong choice for DFS lineups. He's hit .277 with 20 home runs and 67 RBI this season, boasting an .802 OPS.
In another intriguing pick, McClure has rostered Alec Burleson, a first baseman/outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, for his DFS lineups. The Cardinals are set to begin a series against the Colorado Rockies, who have the worst record in baseball.
Burleson, a left-handed hitter, has shown impressive form against right-handed pitchers this season, batting .283 with an .812 OPS and 12 of his 14 home runs. He also offers positional flexibility for DFS lineups and has two multi-hit performances over his last four contests, batting .280 with a .780 OPS this season.
It's worth noting that McClure sees strong value in Burleson, particularly against the Rockies' starting pitcher, Chase Dollander, who has a 6.68 ERA this season, including a 12.79 ERA over his last two starts.
While McClure's advice for Jose Altuve against the Boston Red Sox and Garrett Crochet is not available for August 11, he did highlight Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte as one of his top picks on Friday.
In the vast DFS player pool, options such as Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and Oneil Cruz are also worth considering. As always, it's essential to consider McClure's picks alongside the latest news and injury updates before finalising your DFS lineups.
