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

Boston Red Sox vs. C.C. Sabathia (Yankees)
Park - Yankees Stadium

Some may point to Sabathia and say he is a much improved pitcher from last year, and those people aren't necessarily wrong. However, that is not saying much as he was one of the absolute worst pitchers in the league. With this game currently sitting at a 10 over/under, we can definitely expect some runs in the hitter friendly Yankees stadium, especially with it being daytime. In 2016, Sabathia has exhibited an xFIP over 4.00 and a very low BABIP, which suggests some serious regression. My favorite 5 Red Sox are going to be Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts, David Ortiz, Hanley Ramirez and Dustin Pedroia, in that order. If you want to be sneaky, I would target someone like Aaron Hill that should be a bit lower owned than the rest of these guys, and has the ability to hit one out to the short porch in right field.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. John Lamb (Reds)
Park - Great American ballpark

John Lamb in the Great American "Smallpark"? Yes please. I will have A TON of Brewers tonight and I am willing to go down with the ship. Not only is Lamb bad, but this ballpark magnifies all of his biggest weaknesses. Against righties dating back to 2015, Lamb has sported a horrible .386 wOBA and a 34.2% hard contact rate that is backed up by all of the necessary peripherals. While the brewers aren't known as a prolific or exciting offense, they definitely have the upside with a bunch of power and speed spread throughout the order. My favorite 5 Brew Crew bats are going to be Ryan Braun, Chris Carter, Jonathan Lucroy, Jonathan Villar and Will Middlebrooks, in that order. To add on, the Reds bullpen is by far the worst in the league and the brewers are guaranteed 9 innings of hitting. Get some exposure.

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.
