Shohei Ohtani hit another home run, this time against a team that is rumored to be interested in trading for him. Ohtani has been one of the top MLB DFS picks this season and that won’t change regardless of his uniform.
Ohtani leads MLB in several statistical categories, making him an expensive pick in daily Fantasy baseball. To find cheaper options, it’s important to consider matchup-based strategies. For advice, strategy, and projections for Tuesday’s MLB DFS player pool, check out what SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure has to say.

McClure’s top MLB DFS pick for Tuesday is Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies. Albies has been performing consistently well this month, with a batting average of .317 and four home runs. He has the highest number of home runs among second basemen, making him a valuable pick. With the Braves scheduled to play against right-hander Zach Davies of the Diamondbacks, who has a high ERA, Albies is expected to perform well.
McClure also recommends rostering Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, who recently had a great game with a home run and two RBI. Bregman has a history of success against Rockies probable starter Austin Gomber and has strong career splits against left-handed pitchers. With the Astros playing at Coors Field, which favors hitters, Bregman is expected to have a good game.
McClure is also targeting an undervalued player who has the potential to deliver impressive numbers on Tuesday. This player comes at a low price, making him a valuable addition to your lineup.
