The Arizona Diamondbacks have yet to name their starting pitcher for tonight’s matchup against the Seattle Mariners, but that may not even make a difference to Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger. The 30-year-old right fielder is on a six-game hit streak and could provide big value in Friday’s MLB DFS player pool with the recent success he’s had against Arizona. Earlier this month against the D-backs, Haniger had four runs, four walks, three RBI and a home run.
Overall, Haniger has batting splits of .308/.400/.423 in his last six games and is a cheaper option than Arizona star Ketel Marte. In the teams’ earlier series, Marte hit just .154 in 15 plate appearances. Saving money on savvier MLB DFS picks to spend big in other areas is key with the full slate of games on Friday’s schedule.

McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for September 10, 2021
One of McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for Friday is Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette ($4,000 on FanDuel, $5,400 on DraftKings). Bichette is coming off his best game in the last two weeks, as he went 3-for-5 against the Yankees with a home run and two RBI on Thursday.
Bichette only has two at bats against Baltimore probable starter Chris Ellis in one previous meeting, but his recent hot streak at the plate may make the matchup a moot point. Over his last 13 games, Bichette has a .345 batting average with two homers, four doubles, six RBI and three stolen bases. Over the last week, his OPS has been .923 — significantly higher than his season average of .798.
Key to McClure’s optimal MLB DFS strategy is Tampa Bay first baseman Jordan Luplow ($2,200 on FanDuel, $3,000 on DraftKings). Luplow is a reasonable value after putting up double-digit DFS points in his last three games on both DraftKings and FanDuel.
On Tuesday, Luplow broke out with a huge game in Boston, highlighted by a seventh-inning home run that scored two others. He also finished the game with a double and another run to finish with 37.9 points on FanDuel and 28 on DraftKings. Luplow’s career average against Detroit probable starter Matthew Boyd is a modest .250, but he has two home runs and four RBI against him in 16 total at-bats.
