Stacking in DFS MLB is such an important concept if you’re looking to take down a big tournament on FanDuel or DraftKings. It’s also a good way to diversify cash games because the variance in baseball can mean wild swings (ahem) in the scoring on a particular slate. The concept is easy. You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good.

Stack Targets

Seattle Mariners vs. Mike Pelfrey (DET)

The Seattle Mariners are my top stack of the night. They will be going up against right-hander Mike Pelfrey, who has just been awful this season. I'm going to start off by saying that he owns a 4.79 ERA that is backed up by a 5.37 SIERA. I honestly didn't think there could be regression for the right-hander, but apparently there is some heading his way (guess it's going to get even uglier for Pelfrey). He also owns a 1.70 WHIP and 1.6 K-BB%. It's been an ugly year for the 32-year-old, so stacking the Mariners is the way to go.

Not only is the matchup a thing of beauty for Seattle bats, but they are also great offensively against right-handers. On the year, they own a 115 wRC+ (3rd in MLB), .338 wOBA (5th in MLB) and .183 ISO (8th in MLB). These guys have the ability to hit for power and score runs in bunches, so look for the to have a big night.

Red Sox vs. Miguel Gonzalez (BOS)

I know Miguel Gonzalez was off to a nice start, but let's be honest -- he isn't a very good pitcher. Since 2015, he owns a 1.43 WHIP and 4.86 FIP. When a pitcher allows close to a runner and a half on base, that is trouble awaiting to happen. Which will be the case for him tonight.

He will be going up against a Red Sox team that has had one of the best offenses in baseball. They own .358 wOBA (1st in MLB) .191 ISO (4th in MLB) and 121 wRC+ (1st in MLB). These guys have been putting on a show offensively on a nightly basis, and look for that to continue tonight against a not-so-great right-handed pitcher.

Colorado Rockies vs Paul Clemens (MIA)

Paul Clemens will be called up from Triple-A to make a spot-start for the Marlins tonight. You know what that means?! Get some exposure to those Rockies' bats.

You probably don't know a whole lot about Mr. Clemens, but let me get you up to date. I'm going to start off by saying the he isn't a highly touted prospect. As a matter of fact, he was not even pitching well in the minors. He had an ERA over 4 in the minors this season, so this is a move out of desperation for the Marlins. In his minor league career, he owned an 8.8 BB%, 5.81 FIP and 14.7 K% . So there is nothing to be scared about. The Rockies should have no problem making contact and getting on base. I know the Rockies don't have many notes on the right-hander and will be hitting at spacious Marlins park, but Clemens is not a good pitcher and should be one to target against in tournaments tonight. And things could get ugly if the Marlins are forced to go to their bullpen (which I see happening).

So yeah, baseball season! And we've got some goodies you can take with you. At the end of the post, we have our MLB eBook that you really ought to check out before setting even a single daily fantasy MLB lineup. It's free, below.
