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 Diamondbacks vs.Luis Perdomo (SD) Luis Perdomo has had it rough in the early going of his big league career. He is coming into this contest sporting a 8.49 ERA that is backed up by a 5.46 FIP. Guess you could say his ERA will eventually drop, but a FIP over 5 suggests that he's been bad. His ERA and FIP aren't the only reasons why I will be stacking the Diamondbacks today. Another reason is the park. Perdomo will be moving from spacious Petco Park into hitter-friendly Chase Field, which is never a good thing. The Diamondbacks own a .426 SLG (9th in MLB) against right-handed pitchers, so look for them to do some damage against the young right-hander. Houston Astros vs. Wade Miley(SEA) The Astros four big bats (Evan Gattis, Jose Altuve, George Springer and Carlos Correa do some serious damage against southpaws, so getting some exposure to these guys is one route to take. They will be going up against Wade Miley, who has not had things go his way this season. He is coming into this contest sporting...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Archie Bradley and Kyle Hendricks in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Danny Salazar FD 10600 DK 11200 Opponent - DET (Norris) Park - @CLEFD - 34.62 DK - 23.03 Looking for some upside? Then look no further -- Danny Salazar is your guy! Salazar has been great this season for the Tribe. He is coming into this contest sporting a 2.22 ERA that is backed up by a 3.13 FIP. I know he isn't talked about much around the league, but this kid is good. His ERA and FIP are very attractive, but what sticks out to me is his K%. He owns a 28.5 K%, so we all know what that means -- UPSIDE! It's never easy to go against the Tigers, but I love the matchup for Salazar. Yes, the Tigers are one of the best teams in the league against right-handed pitchers (9th in MLB in wOBA), but they also strikeout a ton. They own a 22.4 K% (9th in MLB), which is why I love Salazar. Sure this matchup has some risk, but he has the highest ceiling on the night and he's been one of the most dominant pitchers in the game today. Carlos Martinez FD 8900 DK 8900 Opponent - PIT (Niese) Park - @STLFD - 34.8 DK - 22.75 Carlos Martinez against the Pirates? That doesn't sound too appealing when you first hear it, but there is a lot to like when you dig deeper. First and foremost, you have to love his price tag. 8K...

We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Pitching Targets Note: We discussed Zack Greinke and Ubaldo Jimenez in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below. Jose Quintana FD 8800 DK 10400 Opponent - MIN (Gibson) Park - @CHWFD - 34.25 DK - 22.46 By now you all know how much I love Jose Quintana, but this isn't exactly a favorites pick. He has a gorgeous price tag ($8,800 on Fanduel) and has a beautiful matchup against the Twins. On the year, the Twins have struggled against southpaws. They are coming into this contest with a .306 wOBA (25th in MLB) to go along with a 24.5 K% (3rd in MLB). The upside is through the roof for Quintana and being heavy favorites will help him out even more. So do yourself a favor and pickup the GOAT and his 2.95 FIP on your DFS squads. Corey Kluber FD 10800 DK 13400 Opponent - ATL (Wisler) Park - @ATLFD - 38.14 DK - 25.19 Corey Kluber is next on my list. He's a little pricy to say the least, but there are so many options when it comes to bats, that I don't mind paying his price tag. We all know the drill. The Braves are awful offensively and playing at spacious Tuner Field won't help them out, but the problem with going against them is that they don't strikeout a whole lot. They own a K% under 20%, which will hurt any pitcher, even Kluber that owns a 25.1 K%. He should be able to deliver a quality start and with is team being heavy favorites increase...

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 Orioles vs.Erik Johnson (SD) Instead of boring you with Coors talk, I'm going to give you three other GPP options on tonight's slate. And the first team on the list are the Orioles. I'm going to start off by saying that Erik Johnson has had it real rough so far this season. He is coming into this contest with a FIP and ERA over 8 (not a typo) and a hard contact rate all the way at 42.0%. He is getting hit hard, so there is no better team to stack against him than the Orioles. The Orioles own a .350 wOBA (2nd in MLB) and .203 ISO (1st in MLB) against right-handed pitching. I see Johnson having a rough outing once again, so do yourself a favor and load up on those Baltimore bats! Marlins vs. Mike Pelfrey(DET) There are many other stacking options besides Coors and the Marlins are second on my list. They will be going up against Mike Pelfrey, who is another pitcher who has struggled this season. He is coming into this contest sporting a 4.91...
Daily Fantasy Baseball News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings – 6/27/16
Daily Fantasy Baseball News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 6/27/16 Welcome to the daily MLB updates and news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock today. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the batting lineup changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Personnel D.J. Lemahieu and Trevor Story are out of today's lineup. Let's consider them as day-to-day until we get another update. Vincent Velasquez was activated from the 15-day DL and will get the nod tonight against the Diamondbacks. Jordy Mercer left Sunday's game with a head injury. We will consider day-to-day for now. Stephen Strasburg was placed on the 15-day DL with a back injury. Brandon Phillips is not in the lineup on Monday against the Cubs. Carlos Santana is out of the lineup on Monday . Top Tournament Stacks Rockies and Blue Jays This is kind of obvious, but the top stacks of the day are the Blue Jays and Rockies. This game features two power-hitting teams. They are both top 10 in SLG and ISO this season and have also hit righties well. Not only are they one of the best power-hitting teams in the league, but they will also be playing at Coors Field. In case you didn't know, Coors Field is every hitters dream. The ball flies out of the bat in a hurry and is the friendliest park to hitters. These two squads are the clear-cut top stacks of the night. 11.5 run-total is very hard to ignore. Rangers Alright if you're trying to get away from Coors Field, I like the idea of stacking the Rangers. I know they were the chalk stacks a few times last week and didn't come through for us, but remember, we can't hold grudges and need a short memory (like Dory from Finding Nemo/Dory. The Rangers aren't a team that demolishes righties (15th in wOBA), but playing at Yankee Stadium (hitter-friendly park) and going up against Ivan Nova will certainly help. On the year, Nova owns a 5.18 ERA to go along with a 4.94 FIP. Things haven't gone his way this season, especially as of late. In his last six starts, he has allowed a total of 26...
