Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez has been one of the most feared hitters in baseball throughout the last decade. There may be times he flies under the radar due to playing in Cleveland, but each season he reminds daily Fantasy baseball players that he's one to consider for MLB DFS lineups every day he's on the field. Ramirez has eight extra-base hits over his last six games and he leads baseball with 54 RBI this season. Ramirez had two doubles and two RBI against the Rockies on Monday in the first game of the series at Coors Field, so should you use him in MLB DFS picks at hitter's friendly Coors Field during this stretch?
Ramirez has finished in the top 10 in American League MVP voting in six of the last seven seasons, including in the top three three times. Ramirez has a double in one of three career at-bats against Rockies probable starter Ryan Feltner, so will Ramirez continue his extra-base run and finish as a top option from the MLB DFS player pool on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings on Tuesday?

McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Tuesday
One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Tuesday is Yankees outfielder Juan Soto at $4,400 on FanDuel and $6,300 on DraftKings. Soto was the Yankees' prize acquisition this offseason via trade and he's lived up to the high expectations in the Bronx. The three-time All-Star ranks in the top six in baseball in home runs (14, sixth), RBI (44, fourth) and OPS (.979, fifth). He's also 11th in batting average (.310) and has three extra-base hits, including a home run, over his last three games.
The Angels are starting right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning against the Yankees on Tuesday. Canning has a 5.05 ERA over 10 starts this year and he's had significant difficulties against left-handed hitters, like Soto. Left-handed hitters are batting .307 with a .935 OPS while hitting a home run in one in every 16.3 at-bats against Canning this season. Soto has a 1.007 OPS against RHP, the seventh-best OPS against RHP in baseball this season. Soto doesn't come cheap, but he's worth his price tag for Tuesday MLB DFS lineups.
McClure is also rostering Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll ($4,400 on DraftKings and $2,900 on FanDuel). Carroll is off to a dismal start in his second full MLB season after winning the National League Rookie of the Year last year and finishing fifth in NL MVP voting. But he's showing signs of breaking out of his early-season slump with a hit in six of his last eight games while reaching base safely at least once in seven of those contests.
Carroll had an .868 OPS last season, the 13th-best in baseball. He was one of two players with 25 home runs and 50 stolen bases last season and although he's only batting .188, Carroll leads the NL with four triples. Carroll, a left-handed hitter, has a career .844 OPS against right-handed pitchers as the Rangers are scheduled to start RHP Dane Dunning on Tuesday. Dunning allowed five runs (three earned) over 3 1/3 innings in his last start against the Phillies.See McClure's full MLB DFS player pool at SportsLine.
