The Yankees and Mets will meet for the second half of the Subway Series between the two New York teams on Tuesday. The Mets won the first two contests at Citi Field in June and the final two games will be played at Yankee Stadium. This time around, both the Mets and Yankees enter with winning records as every game is crucial in the Yankees’ chase of the American League East and for the Mets hoping to secure one of three National League Wild Card spots. The Mets reportedly ran into some travel issues coming back from Miami yesterday with reports saying the team plane didn’t arrive at Citi Field until 5:15 a.m. ET.
Should the long night and travel issues affect how daily Fantasy baseball players view Mets options from the MLB DFS player pool like Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo when making MLB DFS lineups on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings? Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hit two home runs on Monday, so should you spend up for him in MLB DFS picks? Before locking in any MLB DFS picks for Tuesday, be sure to check out the MLB DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for Tuesday
One of McClure’s top MLB DFS picks for Tuesday is Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena at $4,200 on DraftKings and $2,900 on FanDuel. Arozarena had his four-game hitting streak snapped on Monday but after a slow start to the 2024 MLB season, he’s been a better representation of himself lately. The 29-year-old had three home runs over his prior two games entering Monday, including going 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI on Saturday.
After having a .158 batting average at the end of May, Arozarena is hitting .286 with seven home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored with a .906 OPS over 41 games since June 1. He has 15 home runs this season, putting him on pace to reach at least 20 home runs for the fourth straight year. Arozarena ranks better than 70% of the league in average exit velocity and barrel percentage and given his recent performances, McClure sees him as a strong play for Tuesday MLB DFS lineups.
McClure is stacking Arozarena with Rays third baseman/first baseman Isaac Paredes ($4,300 on DraftKings and $3,100 on FanDuel). Paredes is posting a career-high in batting average (.252) and on-base percentage (.353) to pair with his powerful bat. He also has an .803 OPS, which is the second-highest of his career. Paredes had 31 home runs and 98 RBI over 143 games last season and has 16 homers and 51 RBI in 95 games this year. He’s hit at least 20 home runs in the two seasons he’s played at least 100 games and is on pace to reach that again this year.
Jose Berrios is scheduled to start for the Blue Jays against the Rays on Tuesday and the 30-year-old RHP has struggled in recent outings. Berrios has an 8.40 ERA over three July starts, allowing at least four runs in all three contests. He has a 4.72 ERA over 11 career starts against the Rays, compared to a career 4.13 ERA. Berrios has allowed 21 home runs this season, the most in baseball, and with the power of Arozarena and Paredes, McClure views this as a strong MLB DFS stack for Tuesday.
