We've got you completely covered. 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 Note: Both sides of the Coors game are obviously in play, but we'll give you a few other options to pick over as well. This article is about finding good stacks to get separation in big tournaments, and that can't usually be done in Coors Field. Washington Nationals vs. Adam Morgan The Nats are normally a stack when they are against right handed pitchers thanks to the thumping bats of Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy, and the reverse platoon action you can get from Anthony Rendon. When they're facing a pitcher as bad as Adam Morgan, though, you don't totally need the platoon advantage. While this game has just an 8.5 over/under, the -250 money line Washington's way suggests Vegas thinks the Nats' bats are going to feast here. The usual suspects (Harper and Murphy) are in play even in a reverse platoon spot, and we can also get some excess value by targeting Michael Taylor (.090 OPS points better against LHP for his career, getting some looks at the top of the lineup), Wilson Ramos (.054 OPS points better vs. LHP for his career), Anthony Rendon and Ben Revere (a reverse platoon split guy for his career). Morgan, in case you're unfamiliar, is just a batting practice guy who leaves WAY too many balls up in the zone - his 32.3 career GB% would be the 3rd worst figure in the league this season. The Chicago Cubs against "John Gant" Okay, the...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jon Lester, Steven Matz, and Joe Ross in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. First things first - today is just an awful day for starting pitching. The following are punt plays for big tournaments only. Dallas Keuchel FD 7700 DK 8600 Opponent - TB (Moore) Park - @TBFD - 32.52 DK - 16.87 It's easy to forget now, but the Astros' lefty was one of the more dominating forces in all of baseball just last season - 2nd in the league in ground ball percentage at a ridiculous 61.7% clip, and posting the 5th best xFIP in the majors. Well that was last year and this is this year, you say. Fair enough. Except when you look at Keuchel's underlying peripheral stats, not THAT much has changed. Yes, his GB% has dipped to 57.4% - good for just 5th in the majors. And yes, his K/9 has dipped from 8.38 to 7.84. And yes, his BB/9 has climbed from 1.98 to 2.94. None of that is particularly inspiring. But it also doesn't mean he's a bad pitcher. His xFIP is a respectable 3.54, and while it seems clear that things aren't heading in the right direction, he can absolutely still put up a big game. And this game could absolutely be a boom or bust situation. The Rays have struck out in 23.8% of their plate appearances vs. lefties this year. They've also posted the highest ISO, and 2nd highest OPS. Not for the faint of heart, here, but an interesting gamble nonetheless. Julio Urias FD 6700 DK 5500 Opponent - SF (Peavy) Park - @SFFD - 27.86 DK - 14.78 Well this article has escalated quickly. This is the very puntiest of punt plays. The Giants aren't an especially great match-up for right handed pitchers from a fantasy perspective...

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. Early Slate Stack Targets Note: Coors is obviously in play, but I wanted to give you a few other options in this article. Toronto Blue Jays vs. Mike Wright (BAL) Mike Wright sure surprised me in his last outing as he threw seven shutout innings against the Royals, but I'm expecting the Blue Jays to devour him today. Mike Wright owns a 16.6 K% and 1.45 HR/9, which is excellent news for the Blue Jays. They are a team that tends to strike out and hit dingers (.174 ISO), so these two stats are in their favor. Mike Wright also owns a 4.96 FIP, which makes this matchup even sweeter for Toronto bats. While the Blue Jays have been up-and-down this season, I think this is the perfect opportunity to load up on their bats. They will be low owned as Coors is on this slate and they are a team that has huge upside. Boston Red Sox vs. Kyle Gibson (MIN) The Red Sox have just been on a tear this season (offensively) and I expect them to continue that trend....

And will be going over a few more options below. Early Slate Chris Archer FD 9700 DK 10400 Opponent - HOU (Fiers) Park - @TBFD - 36 DK - 19.82 Chris Archer against the Astros is never ideal, but I believe he has Clayton Kershaw upside today! As we all know by now, the Astros strikeout a ton. They sport a whooping 25.2 K% against right-handed pitchers (3rd in MLB). Chris Archer is a strikeout machine as he owns a 27.2 K% on the year. Do you see what I see with this Archer pick? I see a ton of upside! While Archer's ceiling is through the roof, his floor is pretty low. The Astros own a 9.7 BB% (4th in MLB) and Archer can be wild, as he owns a 10.5 BB%. This is definitely not the best of mixes, but Archer is an excellent tournament play today, and will be low owned with Jake Arrieta taking the mound. If you play tournaments and/or love upside, Chris Archer is your guy! Main Slate Jose Fernandez FD 12000 DK 13800 Opponent - ARI (Godley) Park - @ARIFD - 37.81 DK - 20.84 I'm going to start off by saying that I am aware of Jose's price tag, but it doesn't matter. He is one of the best pitchers in baseball and should be on your squad in cash games. He owns a 37.7 K% (highest in MLB)! His upside is through-the-roof which makes him an automatic...

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!   Long Ball Targets (All stats on the charts are since 2014) (Stats talked about in the write-up are this years stats) Alex Rodriguez FD 3400 DK 3800 Opponent - DET (Pelfrey) Park - @NYYFD - 10.59 DK - 8.13 I know I know -- A-Rod is no longer is his prime and will be 41 at the end of July, but he still has some pop in that bat! A .222 AVG and .297 wOBA is not ideal when constructing a lineup, but he does sport a .207 ISO. He isn't hitting for a high average and is striking out over 30% of the time, but were talking about dingers for crying out loud; not base hits. Kent Murphy once said, "Dingers win ballgames, not basehits." So don't worry about his low AVG and wOBA (This applies to DFS as well and even life). So -- don't underestimate the old man. Mike Pelfrey is "atrocious," Doug Norrie said on today's podcast. (I think he was being nice). And I have to agree with the Co-founder of DFSR (not because he's my boss). Pelfrey is a guy that gets pounded by lefties and righties, and pitching at Yankee Stadium will only make things worse. He owns a 5.35 xFIP to go along with a 32.8% hard contact rate. A-Rod is in the perfect position to do some damage, which puts the 41-year-old at the top of my long ball list. He's a great tournament play...
