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. Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jon Lester and Christian Friedrich in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Steven Matz FD 9700 DK 10400 Opponent - PIT (Niese) Park - @PITFD - 33.57 DK - 17.99 Jon Lester is the clear-cut top option going up against the Phillies, but the next best option is Steven Matz! Matz will be going up against the Pirates, which isn't the best of matchups, but there aren't a ton of great options on the slate and he is the next best pitcher. On the year, Matz is sporting a 2.60 ERA that is backed up by a 2.85 FIP. This kid has been excellent for the Mets, so don't worry too much about a matchup against the Pirates. He also has upside as he owns a 24.1 K% and the Pirates own a 23.8 K% (6th in MLB) against left-handed pitching. While Lester is the top pitching option, you can't go wrong with Matz for tournaments or as a SP2 option if you can find some nice value...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Clayton Kershaw, Chris Sale, Nathan Eovaldi and Taijuan Walker in the picks article for today. And will be going over a few more options below. Julio Teheran FD 8500 DK 9900 Opponent - MIA (Koehler) Park - @ATLFD - 33.12 DK - 18.09 Teheran was put on Earth primarily to give me nightmares in the keeper league where I've had him since he was literally 17 years old. But! There are signs of life this season. The Ks are up, the BBs are down, and his 3.45 FIP is around where it was during his solid 2014 campaign. It's been 15 innings since his last walk allowed, and he struck out 12 in 7 innings against the Brewers in his last game out there. Oh, I didn't mention that he'll be facing one of the league's true bums in Tom Koehler, whose 5.14 xFIP would be good for 5th worst in the league if he could have managed to stay on the mound for enough innings to qualify. So, all roses? Not exactly. The Braves are still dogs in this game because they are just awful, having plated the fewest runs in the majors. And the Marlins, for all of their flaws, are not bad against right handed pitching. Teheran has electric upside here if things break right, but they could of course go wrong as well. Still, he's a phenomenal tournament option. Jimmy Nelson FD 7600 DK 9400 Opponent - CIN (Finnegan) Park - @MILFD - 32.5 DK - 18.1 So let's get one thing straight...

Pitcher Matt Harvey - FD 9900 DK 9300 DFSTR 3100 Harvey is the de facto ace of the slate tonight, and he also happens to be the one with the best match-up as well. The Phils were 27th in the league against right handers last year (with a putrid .294 wOBA), and Buchanan is no great shakes as a starter. Harvey was also fantastic against a much better lineup his last time out - going 6 innings with 9 Ks and a BB. And then there's Citi Field - one of the friendliest places for pitchers to pitch in the majors. On a day with only a few bigger money pitchers going, this is looking like the easiest play on the board. Hisashi Iwakuma - FD 8500 DK 9100 DFSTR 3100 The Dodgers were one of the best teams in the league at hitting right handed pitching, but with the departure of a few key bats, I'm not liking their chances to repeat that title this year. And Iwakuma has a few other things going for him here. First - David Huff pitching for the home team means that Iwakuma should have an elevated chance for the win. Next, Dodger stadium is one of the best pitchers' parks in the league. All and all, this looks like a very safe way to go if you don't want to follow the crowd with Harvey. Trevor Cahill - FD 6600 DK 5300 DFSTR 3100 If you want an interesting play that may be off board tonight, consider Trevor Cahill. He's cheap, which means you'll get to spend up a ton elsewhere. He's facing the Marlins, who struck out at the second highest rate (23.3%) of any team against opposing righties last season. And he's facing Tom Koehler, the very definition of a league average-below average starter. The issue with Cahill will always be the walks - but he will have games where he stays more around the plate. If he does, his high K rate could turn this into a nice game to grab Cahill in big tournaments. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud - FD 3000 DK 3800 DFSTR 5000 D'Arnaud didn't exactly light the world on fire in his rookie campaign, but there's still a lot to like about grabbing value with him this season. First of all, his BABIP was FAR below the established levels he had in the minors. And while...

Pitcher Clayton Kershaw - FD 11700 DK 12400 DFSTR 12700 Ended the year as the league’s best pitcher and starts off this season looking very much the same way. To say Clayton was dominant last season would be an insult to his actual performance. He K’d well over a batter an inning, walked almost no one and finished the season with an absurd 1.77 ERA. Look for the good times to continue this season as he comes out of the gate facing the Padres who, while improved this season, have a lot of work to make up for their bottom feeding against lefties last season. They hit a paltry .616 OPS with a 22% K rate agaisnt lefties. Plus, Kershaw gets to roll in a home park that really depresses power across the board. Kershaw enters this game a heavy favorite for the win. The tag is steep, but in cash games he makes a solid call. Corey Kluber - FD 10400 DK 9800 DFSTR 9700 Coming off a somewhat surprising Cy Young season, Kluber makes for a solid Opening Day value facing the Astros. Kluber had an insane 5:1 K:BB ratio last season to with a 2.57 xFIP. His 28.3% K% was among the best in the game and should see decent K numbers in this game. The Astros made some minor changes adding Lowrie and Rasmus to the lineup, but are coming off a year in which they struck out 24% of the time against righties. He comes a little cheaper than Kershaw, and has a little less upside. But the value is still there. He’s a clear play on DraftKings. Francisco Liriano - FD 8500 DK 8300 DFSTR 7700 He’s more of a GPP consideration for me on this slate for a couple of reasons. When Liriano gets rolling down hill he can rack up strikeout numbers with the best of them. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have pinpoint command which can lead to elevated walk numbers and pitch counts. It’s tough for him to go late into games. In fact, he didn’t make it past seven innings in any start last season. But he does strike out more than a batter an inning and faces a Reds’ team that came in near the basement last season against southpaws. They added Marlon Byrd which will help, and could surprise a little on the offensive front. But overall, I think you...
