Giants rookie shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald homered again on Friday night, becoming the first Giants player to hit seven home runs in an eight-game stretch since Barry Bonds in 2004. Fitzgerald had a five-game homer streak snapped on Wednesday, but he bounced back with two homers on Friday. He has a favorable matchup again on Saturday, as the Rockies are sending rookie Tanner Gordon to the mound. Gordon is 0-2 with a 10.61 ERA across two appearances, allowing eight hits in both losses.
Fitzgerald remains a relatively inexpensive option from the MLB DFS player pool on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel. Should you include him in your MLB DFS lineups on Saturday? Before locking in any MLB DFS picks for Saturday, 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 Saturday
One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Saturday is Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge at $6,400 on DraftKings and $4,500 on FanDuel. Judge continued his power surge with another home run on Friday night, giving him a league-leading 36 long balls overall this season. He has recorded multiple hits in three of his last seven games, and he has driven in an MLB-best 92 runs in 2024.
Judge has drawn five walks in his last three games, providing DFS players with some extra value. He has 26 career homers against the Red Sox, scoring 71 runs in 98 games. The 32-year-old has a pair of home runs against Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford in 18 plate appearances, and McClure is expecting another strong showing from Judge on Saturday night.
McClure is stacking Judge with Yankees outfielder Juan Soto ($6,000 on DraftKings and $4,600 on FanDuel). While Judge leads the majors in homers and RBI, Soto paces the Yankees in hits (114) and batting average (.307). He is 13-for-27 across his last eight games, scoring runs in seven of those contests.
Soto hit a pair of homers against the Rays on Monday before adding his 26th of the season against the Mets on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has 15 extra-base hits in July, and he has five stolen bases on the year. He has gone deep three times in 18 games against the Red Sox, with one of them coming last month in Boston.
