The Philadelphia Phillies hold a 1-0 lead in the 2022 World Series over the Houston Astros after a dramatic 6-5 win in 10 innings in Game 1 on Friday night. First pitch for Game 2 at Minute Maid Park is scheduled for 8:03 p.m. ET on Saturday and the pitching matchup will feature Zack Wheeler vs. Framber Valdez. Both pitchers have sub-2.00 ERAs during the 2022 MLB playoffs and are coming off impressive performances in their respective league championship series starts and will be options for MLB DFS lineups.

However, both offenses also looked impressive on Friday night with Kyle Tucker and J.T. Realmuto both putting together three-hit nights with multiple extra-base hits. So which players should you be targeting in the MLB DFS player pool for World Series Game 2? Before making any MLB DFS picks for Astros vs. Phillies in World Series Game 2 on Saturday, be sure to check out the MLB DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

Now, as the 2022 World Series continues, McClure has locked in his top MLB daily Fantasy picks for Game 2 of the 2022 World Series. Head to SportsLine now to see them.

McClure's top MLB DFS picks for World Series Game 2

One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Game 2 of the 2022 World Series is Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins. The 29-year-old slugger went 1-for-5 in Game 1 but he had four home runs with seven RBI in his previous four postseason games, and he has generally raked against left-handed pitching in 2022 and throughout his career.

Hoskins slashed .286/.387/.558 against lefties this season and has a career OPS against them of .921. He hit a total of 30 home runs while driving in 79 during the regular season and he's been producing since the start of the NLCS so he's a high-upside play that you'll need exposure to in Game 2 of World Series 2022.

Another part of McClure's optimal MLB DFS strategy includes rostering Tucker. The 25-year-old made his first All-Star team in 2022 and turned in impressive numbers, belting 30 home runs while driving in 107 and stealing 25 bases during the regular season.

Tucker went 6-for-28 during his first seven postseason games but busted out on Friday night with a 3-for-5 effort where he hit two home runs and had four RBI. His OPS is now up to .897 for the 2022 MLB playoffs and he's reached safely in every game but one since the end of the regular season.
