McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Sunday
One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Sunday is Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich at $3,100 on FanDuel and $4,800 on DraftKings. The 2018 NL MVP won back-to-back batting titles in 2018 and 2019.

Yelich has a 14.4% walk rate in the three seasons and change since his last All-Star appearance and has a .356 OBP during that span. This season, he's only batting .247 but he does lead the National League with 19 runs scored and he's also stolen five bases with three home runs and nine RBI. Lock him in your MLB DFS lineups and look for a big return on Sunday.
McClure's MLB DFS strategy also includes rostering Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette at $3,700 on FanDuel and $5,700 on DraftKings. The 2021 AL All-Star has been top 12 in AL MVP voting in each of the last two seasons. He's proven himself as one of the best hitters in baseball over the last few years with a .299/.342/.499 career slash line.
Bichette is hitting .344 this season with four home runs and 12 RBI. The AL leader in hits the last two seasons is once again leading the league in that category with 31 hits in 21 games. And while he hasn't stolen a base yet this season, his speed is a clear asset and it's only a matter of time before he gets it going on the basepaths after stealing 38 bases the last two years.
