The 2021 MLB season has already provided some exhilarating action and MLB daily Fantasy players are sorting through the early results in an effort to identify useful trends. White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada had a brutal 0-for-5 night with five strikeouts on Friday, but Chicago still had 12 runs and 13 hits in a win on Saturday. The White Sox will take on Alex Cobb on Saturday and Moncada has already hit a three-run homer off the 33-year-old, making him a prime bounce-back candidate for MLB DFS lineups.
Meanwhile, Twins ace Jose Berrios will make his season debut in what could be a pitcher's duel against Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes. Both are worthy of consideration of a pitching spot on Saturday, but what other pitching options are in the MLB DFS player pool? 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 April 3, 2021
One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Saturday is once again Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner for $5,100 on DraftKings and $3,500 on FanDuel. The 36-year-old didn't hit for a lot of power in 2020 after tying a career-high with 27 home runs in 2019, but he still raked and has already proven himself as a dynamic hitter this year.
As mentioned, he went 3-for-5 on Friday in a Dodgers win and he's coming off a season where he posted a .860 OPS despite hitting just four home runs in 175 plate appearances. Turner will take on Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela on Saturday at 8:10 p.m. ET, who the veteran is 8-for-19 off lifetime.
