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! 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 (Hitter stats provided are vs. the handiness of the pitcher they are facing) Early Slate The Houston Astros vs. Edwin Escobar Now I understand the reluctance to stack the Astros given some of the struggles they've had this year, but things are trending in the right direction, and facing a journeyman minor-league pitcher will certainly help. There isn't much info available on Escobar other than he's a high 4's ERA guy during his 8 years in the minors, who's K/BB ratio is nearly 2. This could easily mean trouble for Escobar against a Houston team that's full of young guys who for their careers destroy left-handed pitching. For this stack I'm targeting guys like Evan Gattis (.411 wOBA), Jose Altuve (.440 wOBA), Carlos Correa (.341 wOBA for his career), and George Springer (.373 wOBA). Each of these guys should be hitting near the middle or top of the order so look for each of them to see plenty of chances to put up some big numbers today. The Coors Field Stack Honestly you can stack this one either way you'd...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Good God, there are some incredibly awful pitchers going today. It's probably a cop out to say "you can stack almost every team", so let's get to some of the most solid ones. Stack Targets (Hitter stats provided are vs. the handiness of the pitcher they are facing) The Baltimore Orioles vs. Mike Clevinger Through 10 and a third innings this season, Mike Clevinger has allowed 10 earned runs. That's less than good. It's also just 10 innings, so we probably should look at his broader body of work. The truth about Clevinger is that he's really only been good at one stop throughout the minors - 158 innings in double A last year - and other than that he's been pretty underwhelming. Vegas has this at a 9 over/under, which is the 2nd highest non-Coors line of the day, and early returns have sharps pounding the over. All in all, people who know things think Clevinger is going to get rocked here. So who are our prime candidates? Chris Davis is an obvious choice, given his tendency to crush right handed pitching. But Adam Jones, Manny Machado, and Jonathan Schoop have also posted reverse platoon splits throughout their careers, favoring match-ups against righties. Even Mark Trumbo is topping a .900 OPS against right handers this season. Pedro Alvarez is .200 OPS points better against righties for his career. Don't be surprised if the Orioles chase Clevinger early and feast on the Indians' long men for a few innings here. San Francisco Giants vs. Chris Rusin (COL) To absolutely no one's surprise, given...

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 (Hitter stats provided are vs. the handiness of the pitcher they are facing) Milwaukee Brewers vs. Alfredo Simon (CIN) A lot of people are talking about a Coors stack (which I like a lot), but why not stack the Brewers? They will be going up against Alfredo Simon who has just been awful this season. He owns a 10.16 ERA, which is backed up by a 6.72 FIP. Things have not been pretty for him this season, so stack the Brew-Crew! Everyone on the Brewers side is in play. Batters 1-9. Yes, If I could roster Chase Anderson as a hitter, I probably would. These sites won't let me roster 9 Brewers, so I have narrowed it down for you guys. The guys I love are Ryan Braun (.415 wOBA), Jonathan Lucroy (.394 wOBA) (makes sure he starts), Aaron Hill (.354 wOBA) and Scooter Gennett (.151 ISO). These guys have had the most success against right-pitchers this season for the Brewers (exception of Gennet), so go ahead and get them on your squads. No one is a bad...

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Danny Salazar, Kyle Hendricks, Noah Syndergaard and Zack Greinke in the Early Main Article and Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Michael Pineda FD 7600 DK 8500 Opponent - TB (Moore) Park - @TBFD - 33.81 DK - 19.13 Oh Pineda, welcome to my lineups. Please don't let me down. You have a beautiful matchup going up against the Tampa Bay Rays, but the best part about your matchup today, is the fact that this game will take place at Tropicana Field. You got this Pineda! I believe in you. (Just for today). On a series note-- Pineda has a nice matchup going up against the Rays. They own a .305 wOBA (22nd in MLB) to go along with a 95 wRC+ (17th in MLB) against right-handed pitching. These guys rely heavily on the long ball, which gives Pineda and his 45.4 GB% an advantage. And the best part about Pineda will be his ownership. Many people will see that he owns a 6.34 ERA and be on full-fade mode....

Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Jose Fernandez and Matt Wisler in the Main Article, and will be going over a few more options below. Early Slate Gerrit Cole FD 10100 DK 9900 Opponent - ARI (Corbin) Park - @PIT FD - 38.12 DK - 20.44 Jose Fernandez will be the "chalk" of today's slate (and should be on your rosters), but I like Gerrit Cole as a SP2 option. He will be going up against the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight, which isn't the best of matchups for Cole, as the Diamondbacks own a 97 wRC+ (14th in MLB) against right-handed pitching. The matchup might not be all that, but I love his chances of picking up the win. The Pirates are entering this contest as -170 favorites. They will be going up against southpaw Robbie Ray today, so look for them to back up Cole with some runs. I know the weather is looking bad (7 AM ET as I am writing this article), so if weather does not get any better -- I would go with Drew Smyly (cash games) and J.A. Happ...
