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   Early Slate Toronto Blue Jays vs. Pat Dean(Twins) If you're looking for some serious firepower then this is the stack for you. The Blue Jays rank 8th in the league in home runs hit off of left-handed pitchers, and they've got plenty of guys who know how to crush bad pitching. Speaking of bad pitching, let's take a look at Pat Dean, who will be making his first big league start this afternoon. Although he's got a K/9 of 7.88 right now, prior to being called up to the majors he didn't have a K/9 much above 5 since he was in single A all the way back in 2011. This is big for the Blue Jays, who have a tendency to strikeout at a rate above the league average. For this particular stack I like the usual suspects in Josh Donaldson, Troy Tulowitzki, and Jose Bautista, and these three guys can be paired with either Justin Smoak or Russell Martin (depending on who's hitting in a more advantageous lineup spot, although I tend to lean...

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   Cleveland Indians vs. Tim Adleman(Reds) My favorite stack of the day has to be the Cleveland Indians offense going up against the inexperienced Tim Adleman in the hitter's haven that is Great American Ballpark. Adleman has only thrown 16 big league innings in his career, and while his numbers suggest he's doing a decent enough job, there are definitely areas in his game that can be exploited (namely his struggles against left-handed hitters). Although it is a small sample size of only 29 batters faced, Adleman is allowing lefties to hit .346/.414/.615 against him, and has already given up two home runs. Because of this, I would suggest stacking as many left-handed Indians as you can. Our system likes Carlos Santana (OPS of .874 vs right-handed pitching), Jason Kipnis (.909 OPS vs right-handed pitching), Tyler Naquin ( .316 batting average vs right-handed pitching), and Francisco Lindor (who is better against southpaws, but still good against righties). Combine all of that with the fact that Great American Ballpark is second only to Coors Field in terms of...

They've played more games on the road than at home this season. Due to some rainouts early on, they lost a bunch of their games in that sweet Mile High air, and haven't caught up yet. That will begin to swing as the season moves along and their stats climb. Now of course, this matters a little more on salary sites where the prices are depressed. But others will look at the grotesque OPS's for these two guys and think there is something wrong. Other than Tulo's walk rate running at a career low, nothing else about their batted ball profiles is too terribly alarming. CarGo is expecially making solid contact with a great LD%. And Tulo is running really bad in Hr/FB. Coors helps with that number. I love these two for the top of the total bases category today against Vogelsong who's K rate is less than seven per nine with an xFIP close to five.   Hits Angel Pagan Norichika Aoki I'm picking on Coors a lot today, but you kind of have to. It's the bet hitter's park in all of baseball and whenever possible we need to take advantage. These two guys are in excellent spots for much the same reason. They hit at the top of the order and are facing Kyle Kendrick who doesn't strike anyone out. Kendrick, this season, is K-ing less than five batters per nine and walking a decent amount. I don't love the latter stat when trying to predict hits in a game. But that these guys have a lowered K expectation is a good place to start. Both are great contact hitters. They both strike out about 10% of the time against righty pitching and neither draws a ton of walks. Love the contact rates for pumping out hits....
