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 Chicago Cubs vs. Christian Friedrich (SD) The same thing applies for these guys today: If you can afford them; do it. Today, the Cubs will be going up against Christian Friedrich. He owns an xFIP of 4.82 to go along with a 1.46 WHIP. The Cubs own the highest wOBA against southpaws on the year, so it only makes sense to stack them against Friedrich. It will be interesting to see how their ownership percentages look tonight, but if I can't roster four guys, I'll try to do a mini stack. My top 4 guys to stack: My top 4 guys to stack: Ben Zobrist, Addison Russell, Dexter Fowler and Kris Bryant St. Louis Cardinals vs. Jon Niese(MIL) The Cubs are sure pricey, so another team that I am looking to stack on today's slate are the Cardinals. They will be going up against Jon Niese, who has an ERA and FIP well over five. Jon Niese has had his struggles this season, so I'm looking for the Cardinals to take advantage. Not only has Niese had his struggles, but the...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jake Arrieta and Jaime Garcia in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets Madison Bumgarner FD 11000 DK 13100 Opponent - LAD (Maeda) Park - @LADFD - 34.09 DK - 22.66 Let's be honest: Jake Arrieta is the clear-cut cash game play of the day. But if you're looking to be different, then go-ahead and pay up for Mad-Bum. Yes, he's going to cost you a pretty penny, but he's one of the best pitchers in the game today and has a nice matchup against the Dodgers. Nice matchup against the Dodgers?! Yes! Granted they've been on a tear, but they've struggled mightily against southpaws this season. They own a .288 wOBA (29th in MLB), 80 wRC+ (27th in MLB) and .130 ISO (28th in MLB). I'm sure you were not expecting those numbers from the Dodgers, but those are real. They have had their struggles, and will be going up against one of the top southpaws in the game today. This could end up being a very sneaky GPP play. Carlos Rodon FD 8100 DK 8600 Opponent - PHI (Thompson) Park - @CHWFD - 22.26 DK - 16.69 If you're looking to be different and don't want to pay up for Mad-Bum, then go ahead and go with Carlos Rodon. He is a streaky pitcher, but I'm expecting to see the [good] Rodon today. Today, he draws a nice matchup against a Phillies offense that has struggled against southpaws this season. They own a .113 ISO (28th in MLB), .288 wOBA (29th...

Stack Targets Chicago Cubs vs. Edwin Jackson (SD) What more could you ask for? One of the best offenses in the league will be going up against Edwin Jackson and his 5.41 xFIP? Maybe a cheaper price tag but [wow], they are in an excellent spot. The ballpark isn't ideal, but we know what this offense is capable of. Plus, it's Edwin Jackson we're talking about. He owns a 1.51 WHIP on the year, to go along with a 10.6 BB% and 5.36 ERA. It will be tough to go with a full-on Cubs stack, but if you're going with a cheaper pitching option -- the Cubs look great tonight. My top 4 guys to stack: My top 4 guys to stack: Ben Zobrist, Anthony Rizzo, Dexter Fowler and Kris Bryant Colorado Rockies vs. Jimmy Nelson(MIL) This game might not be at Coors, but I still like a Rockies stack tonight. They will be going up against Jimmy Nelson, who has struggled this season. He's very similar to Edwin Jackson: The walks are high as well as his WHIP. The only difference is...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jon Lester and Stephen Strasburg in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets David Price FD 10000 DK 11000 Opponent - TB (Snell) Park - @TBFD - 38.78 DK - 25.69 Jon Lester is the clear-cut cash game play of the day, but there are a few intriguing options that I like for tournaments. And the first guy on the list is, David Price. David Price has had another David Price year. Sure, his ERA is 4.19, but his peripherals suggest that he's having another great year. He's sporting a 3.42 xFIP, to go along with a 24.0 K% and 3.54 SIERA. Not only is he cheaper than Lester, but he also draws a matchup that could make him the pitcher with the most fantasy point on the night. Today, he's going back home! He will be pitching at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Park, to take on the Rays. On the year, the Rays haven't been all that against southpaws. They're sporting a .315 wOBA (22nd in MLB) and a 98 wRC+ (19th in MLB). Not only have they had some trouble against southpaws, but they also own a whooping 25.5 K% (highest in MLB) against them. This matchup sets Price up to do a whole lot of fanning, so I wouldn't be surprised if he hit double-digit strikeout numbers tonight. He's an excellent GPP play. Carlos Carrasco FD 10300 DK 11500 Opponent - OAK (Triggs) Park - @OAKFD - 34.79 DK - 22.92 Next on the list we have, Carlos Carrasco. Carrasco draws a...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Danny Duffy and Gio Gonzalez in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below. Pitching Targets Corey Kluber FD 10800 DK 11800 Opponent - TOR (Stroman) Park - @CLEFD - 38.05 DK - 25.07 Some people will shy away from the Kluber-Nator against the Blue Jays, but not me. I believe this is an excellent tournament play and he easily has the highest ceiling on the night. Some of you already think I'm crazy, so let me explain why I'll be targeting Corey Kluber this afternoon: To start off, Corey Kluber is one of the top starters in the game today. He owns a 3.40 xFIP to go along with a 1.02 WHIP and 25.3 K%. His numbers are a thing of beauty, and you have to love the fact that fans 25% of the batters he faces. That just yells upside to me, especially against this Jays' squad. While the Blue Jays have some of the best power hitters in the game, they do strikeout out a ton. They are coming into today's with a 23.1 K% (5th in MLB) against right-handed pitchers. Not only does Kluber have that to his advantage, but the Jays' offense has also been cold as of late.. In their last 30 contests, they are boasting a .308 wOBA (24th in MLB) along with a whooping 26.3 K% (highest in MLB). It's never easy pick a pitcher to go against this powerful Jays' lineup, but they are fanning left-and-right and will be going up against one of the most dominant...
