The New York Yankees will try to sweep their three-game series against the Kansas City Royals during the Wednesday MLB schedule. New York has a collective .487 slugging percentage as a team to lead the majors, powered by Aaron Judge. He has four doubles and six home runs this season, remaining one of the most popular MLB DFS picks on a daily basis. However, Judge has not hit a homer since April 4, bringing down some of his DFS value.
He is still among the most expensive players in the MLB DFS player pool on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel due to his .381 batting average and 20 RBI. Should you include him in your MLB DFS lineups on Wednesday? Before locking in any MLB DFS picks for Wednesday, be sure to check out the MLB DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a daily Fantasy pro who has won more than $2 million in his career. And when it comes to daily Fantasy baseball, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book “Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune” as a top MLB DFS player, McClure’s proprietary 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 Monday, McClure identified Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani has one of his top MLB DFS picks on both sites. The result: Ohtani went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and hit a solo home run, returning 24 points on DraftKings and 31.1 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day.
Now, with the 2025 MLB continuing on Wednesday, McClure has locked in his top MLB daily Fantasy picks for April 16. You can head to SportsLine now to see them.
McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for Wednesday, April 16
One of McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for Wednesday is Angels outfielder Mike Trout at $5,900 on DraftKings and $4,000 on FanDuel for MLB DFS lineups. Trout’s price has dropped following a slow start to the season, as he is batting .186 and has been held hitless in back-to-back games. However, he hit his sixth home run of the campaign on April 11 against Houston after hitting two homers against Tampa Bay the previous day.
The 33-year-old walked and stole a base against Texas on Tuesday, providing DFS value even on a day when he did not have a hit. Trout has driven in multiple runs on five occasions this season, so he tends to post big numbers when he is seeing the ball well. He is facing Rangers starting pitcher Patrick Corbin, who allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in his Rangers debut last Tuesday.
McClure is stacking Trout with Angels outfielder Taylor Ward ($4,300 on DraftKings and $3,500 on FanDuel). Corbin posted a 3.25 ERA across 33 starts in 2019, but he has been a mediocre starting pitcher since then. He has finished with an ERA of at least 4.66 in five straight seasons, so he is an excellent pitcher to fade on Wednesday night.
Ward is one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now, crushing five home runs in his last six games. He did not go yard in his first 10 games of the season, but he is in excellent form coming into this matchup. McClure is happy to fade Corbin with Trout and Ward in his DFS lineups on Wednesday. See McClure’s full MLB DFS player pool right here.
How to set your MLB DFS lineups for April 16, 2025
McClure is also targeting an undervalued 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. You can only see who it is, and get the rest of McClure’s MLB DFS picks, here.
So what are the top MLB DFS picks for Wednesday? Visit SportsLine now to see DFS millionaire Mike McClure’s complete player pool and picks for FanDuel and DraftKings, all from the DFS expert who has won more than $2 million.

NFLPA on Cowboys, Parsons Talks: ‘We Enforce Every Provision’ of CBA as Needed
Micah Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, spoke at length on Tuesday about the breakdown of the relationship between his client and the Dallas Cowboys that led to his preseason trade to the Packers. One of Mulugheta's hopes was that the NFL Players Association would look into the competing claims and the concerns that the Cowboys were negotiating with Parsons in a way that merited punishment. "My expectation is the NFLPA, that's what they're there for: to protect player rights. I'd assume they want to look into this." NFLPA interim executive director has already addressed this, in a wide-ranging interview with the Associated Press published on Wednesday. Regarding negotiations between Parsons and the Cowboys – and the NFLPA's role in these issues in general – White said: "There was tremendous, tremendous activity around that by our staff and we were in contact with all parties […]

Em participação no tradicional programa "The Today Show", da emissora americana NBC, o comissário da liga, Roger Goodell, deu resposta enigmática sobre um possível show da cantora no intervalo do Super Bowl, a grande final da liga. — Não posso falar nada sobre isso. É um talvez — disse ele, ao ser perguntado da possibilidade. Pouco antes, Goodell já havia elogiado a cantora: — Adoraríamos que ela se apresentasse. Ela é especial, tem um talento especial. Seria bem-vinda a qualquer momento. A declaração vem uma semana depois de Swift e Kelce anunciarem que estão noivos. O tight-end do Kansas City Chiefs, de 35 anos, pediu a mão da cantora depois de cerca de dois anos […]
