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 have already discussed Adam Conley in our main artcle. In this article we will discuss a few other options, mostly GPP options. Kenta Maeda FD 8800 DK 9700 Opponent - LAA (Shoemaker) Park - @LAD FD - 33.92 DK - 17.85 This slate is not a pretty one when it comes to selecting pitchers, so I will rely on Vegas odds to select the top cash option. and they love -- Kenta Maeda. He is heading into this contest facing Matt Shoemaker and as a -190 favorite. I expect the Dodgers to get ahead early in this game, which will allow Maeda to pitch relaxed and with confidence. Besides facing Matt Shoemaker, Maeda has a favorable matchup. He will be going up against the Angels, who have not hit right-handed pitchers well this season. They own a .305 wOBA (21st in MLB) and .127 ISO (29th in MLB). These guys sure struggle hitting for power, which is great for Maeda, but there is one flaw to this matchup. That is the fact that the Angels own a 16.0 K%....
Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings- 5/16/16

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 (Hitter stats provided are vs. the handiness of the pitcher they are facing) L.A. Dodgers vs. Matt Shoemaker (LAA) The Dodgers are in a perfect position for success tonight. They will be going up against Matt Shoemaker, who has just been awful over the last two seasons. He owns a 5.17 ERA to go along with a 4.84 FIP. He sure gives up a ton of runs, but he also owns a 38.7 GB%. He does not induce many ground ball outs, so look for L.A. to execute on pitches that Shoemaker leaves up in the zone. Speaking of balls up in the zone -- Shoemaker owns a 1.69 HR/9. He is going to give up a long ball or two or three, so make sure to stack those Dodgers. With Shoemaker's 5.17 ERA (since 2015), every guy in the lineup is in play for me tonight. I know we can only stack a certain number of players, so I have narrowed it down to four guys. They are: Adrian Gonzalez (.347 wOBA), Chase Utley (.406 wOBA), Yasmani Grandal (.341 wOBA) and Corey Seager (.345 wOBA). They have been the...

Pitching Targets Note: We have already discussed Aaron Nola and Hisashi Iwakuma in our main artcle. In this article we will discuss a few other options, mostly GPP options. Corey Kluber FD 10100 DK 11400 Opponent - MIN (Santana) Park - @CLEFD - 42.97 DK - 24.33 It's always tough to fade Jake Arrieta, but I feel comfortable doing just that today (in tournaments) and going with hard-throwing right-hander Corey Kluber. He will be going up against the Minnesota Twins, who have been below average against righties this season. They own a .305 wOBA (21st in MLB), 91 wRC+ (23rd in MLB) and .155 ISO (18th in MLB). Not only do they struggle creating runs and getting on base, but they also strikeout a ton. They possess a 22.9 K% (8th in MLB), which is perfect for any pitcher; especially Kluber. Now it's time to talk about Kluber. Since 2015, Kluber has been dominant with a 2.92 FIP. He also owns a 27.2 K% to go along with a 22.0 K-BB%. He has tremendous upside with his ability to fan a...

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 Chicago Cubs vs. Jeff Locke (PIT) The Cubs will be going up against Jeff Locke today, which provides Cubs' hitters with a beautiful matchup. Locke has been a solid starter in the past, but has struggled this season. He owns with a 4.68 ERA and has a FIP of 4.66 to back it up. He also has a 13 BB%, which shows us that he does not have control of his pitches. And he owns a 1.68 WHIP. He is allowing close to two base runners per inning on the base paths, which only means one thing for the Cubbies -- RUNS! We all know the Cubbies hit right-handed pitching hard, but don't under estimate them against left-handed pitching. They own a .350 wOBA (5th in MLB) and 117 wRC+ (4th in MLB) against left-handed pitching. When looking for particular hitters in this contest, it's tough to pin-point four guys out because I love them all, but I would stack the following guys: Ben Zobrist (.441 wOBA), Javier Baez (.407 wOBA), Dexter Fowler (.371 wOBA) and Kris Bryant (.353 wOBA). Those four guys devour southpaws, so they will...

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- Clayton Kershaw and David Price were talked about on our daily picks article. Vincent Velasquez FD 9100 DK 10900 Opponent - ATL (Blair) Park - @ATLFD - 40.59 DK - 22.67 Don't want to pay up for Clayton Kershaw? Then Vincent Velasquez is your guy! He will be going up against the Braves, who have had trouble getting anything going on offense. Fun fact about the Braves offense: The Braves have hit a total of nine home runs this season; 11 MLB players have hit 10 or more homers this season. This shows you the struggles they have to hit for power, so this will help Velasquez and his 44.8 FB% out big-time! I know I've talked about the Braves' inabilities to hit for power, but they also own a .274 wOBA (30th in MLB) and 65 wRC+ (30th in MLB). This is the perfect matchup for the 23-year-old. Velasquez is a guy worth grabbing in all formats tonight. I mentioned the beautiful matchup he has, but he also presents your team with a ton of upside....
