A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! 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 New York Yankees vs. R.A. Dickey (Blue Jays) I really like the matchup the Yankees have today against R.A. Dickey, especially in the hitter friendly Yankee Stadium. Dickey is in the twilight of his career, and his age is certainly causing a decline in production. His struggles this season are largely due to his lack of success against left-handed hitters (something the Yankees have plenty of), as evidenced by his xFIP of 5.07, BB/9 rate of 4.64, and the fact that his fly ball % and ground ball % are exactly the same (40%). This last part is especially important because the ball tends to carry quite a bit to right field at Yankee Stadium, so I could definitely see a couple of balls ending up in the bleachers tonight. For this stack our projection system likes guys like Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran, Brett Gardner and Dustin Ackley (it also likes Teixeira but I'm not sold on him). I think Ackley in particular provides some serious upside given how low his price tag is...

Here's what James wrote about this matchup the other day, and given that Draymond Green wasn't suspended, it still holds true. Golden State Warriors at Oklahoma City Thunder Analysis The hay-makers in this series, my god. Westbrook and Durant responded to a game 2 drubbing by pitching simultaneous perfect games. 20-34 from the field, and 21-23 from the line. I'm still speechless. Is it possible that the Thunder had the highest ceiling of any team all along, because they have two guys that can put up games like this, and not just one? Now, as you can probably guess by now, this actually doesn't change our projections a whole heck of a lot. Minutes go haywire in blowouts, and the guys we figured would be good on a per-minute basis pretty much were. As for the worry about future blowouts, I suspect things will regulate somewhat and we'll get a high-speed thriller instead of a lopsided blowout. I don't blame you if you just want to grab as many pieces from this game as you can, since they're still pretty reasonably priced. Top Plays Stephen Curry - FD 9900 DK 10700 Opponent - OKC FD Proj. Pts - 52.41 DK Proj. Pts - 56.83 Curry's final line looked generally crappy in game 3, but on a per-minute basis it wasn't a whole lot worse than what he'd been doing earlier in the series. If you think he's going to go 2 days listening to hot takes about how he might be the third best player in this series! then you're sorely mistaken. He's still very reasonably priced and should be a favorite to put up 5x+ points per dollar in this game. Klay Thompson - FD 7400 DK 7900 Opponent - OKC FD Proj. Pts - 37.31 DK Proj. Pts - 41.42 The minutes are headed in the wrong direction here, but I think we saw what Golden State wants to do with Klay in game 1. 40+...

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 Philadelphia Phillies vs. Mike Pelfrey (Tigers) Because the Phillies offense has been up and down for most of the season, I'm sure this seems like a strange suggestion. That is until you see who they're up against. Mike Pelfrey is one of those guys that our system loves to hate, and it seems like every time he's on the mound I'm stacking against him. Here's why. Pelfrey has been horrendous this season against left-handed batters, allowing a line of .378/.433/.598, a wOBA of .437 and a BB/9 of 3.66. Heck he's even been pretty bad against righties too, nearly walking as many batters as he's struck out. But clearly the value here is stacking left-handed bats, and the Phillies have plenty of guys to choose from. Our system is really big on guys like Cesar Hernandez, Maikel Franco, Freddy Galvis, and Odubel Herrera. The system also really, really likes Ryan Howard (he's got a career line of .356/.463/.600 against Pelfrey in 45 career AB), but he's been struggling so much this season that he's a risky...

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. Alfredo Simon (Reds) I personally stack against Alfredo Simon every time he pitches, so I really like the Mariners matchup today. The guy is basically out there throwing batting practice, as evidenced by the fact that he's allowing lefties to hit .400/.455/.750 and righties to hit .337/.433/.524 against him. Those numbers are bad, but it gets even worse as he's got an ERA of over 10 (seriously, how is this guy still in the big leagues?) and an xFIP of 5.24. The Mariners are a team that crush right-handed pitching, and they have plenty of lefties for you to stack against Simon. Our projection system really likes Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager, Adam Lind, and Seth Smith today, although I can also see taking Nelson Cruz here over Lind if you can afford it. Simon has already given up 9 HR's this season, and because Great American Ballpark is one of the best home run parks in baseball I'm expecting big things from Seattle today. Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colin Rea (Padres) I don't...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets We already covered Kenta Maeda and Noah Syndergaard in our main picks article. If you want breakdowns on those guy head over there. Jordan Zimmermann FD 9700 DK 10000 Opponent - TB (Archer) Park - @DETFD - 32.38 DK - 17.2 From a matchup standpoint it's not great that he's facing off with Chris Archer, but outside of that this is a wonderful spot for Zimmerman. The Rays strikeout at the 3rd highest rate in the league against right-handed pitchers this season, so although Zimmerman doesn't possess that electric strikeout punch, his numbers should be helped quite a bit by the Rays tendency to swing at bad pitches. When they do make contact, the Rays have actually been even worse, ranking dead last on BABIP (Batting average on balls in play if you're new here) which plays pretty nicely into the hands of a pitch to contact type of guy like Zimmerman. Throw in the fact that the Tigers are at home and Archer has had his struggles on the road this year and I think that Zimmerman could be a sneaky good option today (although I like Syndergaard and Maeda much more). Cole Hamels FD 10200 DK 12200 Opponent - HOU (Keuchel) Park - @HOUFD - 31.11 DK - 16.46 I learned my lesson yesterday that Houston just isn't the same team offensively that they were a year ago, so I actually like Cole Hamels today (even though he's a bit pricey on both sites) and here's why. Houston as a team has really struggled offensively this season, particularly against left-handed...
