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 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. Stack Targets Baltimore Orioles vs. Mike Pelfrey(Detroit) This is far and away the best stacking option of the night. We've got the team with the second highest slugging % and OPS against right-handed pitching going up against a guy who's allowing lefties to hit over .400, has an xFIP of over 5.00 and has as many walks as strikeouts on the season. Did I mention the game is in Baltimore, one of the more hitter friendly parks in baseball? Talk about a recipe for disaster (at least for Pelfrey that is). Because of the splits, I would go ahead and plug Matt Wieters and Chris Davis into your lineups to take advantage of Pelfrey's inability to get left-handed hitters out (you can go Alvarez over Davis if he gets a start, but I personally like Davis more). From there you can really go a number of different ways as our system really likes Jonathan Schoop, Manny Machado, and Adam Jones quite a bit. If you can afford it, I'd personally pay up for Machado and Jones, both of...

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....

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 - The Rockies and Diamondbacks are in Coors Field and are the top 2 stacks on the board. Let's look at some stacks that will go a lot less owned. New York Yankees vs. Kris Medlen (Royals) Park - Yankees Stadium Very similar story in this one as yesterday, as we have some strong left-handed hitters playing in a hitter friendly ballpark against a right-handed pitcher who gets hit hard against lefties. Kris Medlen has been nothing to brag about this year, sporting an ERA close to 7 and has walked nearly as many hitters as he's struck out. Diving a little deeper into the numbers, Medlen has an xFIP of 5.28 and a BABIP of .324 (which is great since he doesn't strike a lot of guys out). Moving into the splits, Medlen has struggled quite a bit against left-handed hitters, which is something the Yankees are not in short supply of. Medlen has an xFIP of 5.89, a BB/9 of 6.17 (yes you're reading that correctly), and a FB% of nearly 45% against lefties this season. All...

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- Jon Lester and Drew Smyly were talked about on our daily picks article. Adam Conley FD 8400 DK 7400 Opponent - MIL (Gonzalez) Park - @MIA FD - 33.31 DK - 17.4 Adam Conley will get the nod against the Brewers tonight, and I see the 25-year-old delivering another quality start for the Marlins. He has been stellar to open the 2016 campaign, as he owns a 3.01 ERA, 26.2 K% and 16.2 K-BB%. He has shown us the ability to fan hitters (which is great for tournaments), and has shown us that he is able to keep the walks down (which helps his pitch count and limits damage). He will be going up against the Brewers, who are in the middle of the pack against left-handed pitching. They own a .91 wRC+ (22nd in MLB), .726 OPS (16th in MLB) and .319 wOBA (14th in MLB). This isn't a matchup that jumps out to you on paper, but there is one thing I do love about his matchup against the Brewers, and that is there --...
