Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Stack City, where I’ll be going through the top MLB DFS Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel.
Tonight we have a big 13-game slate of MLB DFS. With it being a large slate of games, we have plenty of options to choose from.
Always make sure to read Adam’s Starting Rotation when setting your lineup. It’s hands down the best pitching article in the MLB DFS business.
Let’s dig in and see if we can find some stacks to use today!
MLB DFS Stacks – Main
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Matt Swarmer
The Pirates have shown that they can put up some runs in the right environment. Last night they put up a 12-spot vs. a struggling pitcher in Caleb Kilian. They get just as juicy of a matchup going against Matt Swarmer tonight. Swarmer has really struggled so far in the big leagues. Through just 20 innings of work, he’s already surrendered 10 homers! He’s given up a 54% flyball rate and a 44% hard-hit rate. That’s a combo that’s going to cause you a lot of headaches and a lot of visits from the pitching coach. With Swarmer, I’m not going to be overly concerned with splits as so far he’s been pretty bad against both sides of the plate.
We’ll start off this stack with the still min-priced Oneil Cruz. Cruz had a solid 2022 debut, going 2 for 5 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored. Last night he was 33% owned in most contests. I suspect after the debut that he had last night that he will be way more popular, but at this price and matchup, he’s the free square type of play that we’ll want to take advantage of. It’s a big enough slate that we’ll be able to differentiate ourselves in other ways.
Next up will be Jack Suwinski. Suwinski had another productive night at the plate last night, scoring both times he got on base. Over the last month, Suwinski has a .319 ISO and a .369 wOBA vs. righties. Swarmer is going to through a heavy dose of fastballs and sliders tonight. Although it’s a very small sample size, Suwinski so far has done well against sliders. He’s been hot at the plate, and he’ll continue to be hot tonight in a great matchup.
Other guys I like here will be Bryan Reynolds and Daniel Vogelbach.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chi Chi Gonzalez
The Cardinals take on one of my favorite pitchers in the game tonight, Chi Chi Gonzalez. Anytime that Gonzalez is on the hill, I make it a point to stack against him. More often than not, it’s been a successful strategy as the guy is just not a good pitcher. After just 2 starts for the Twins this season, they realized the error of the way and placed him on waivers. The Brewers, struggling with pitching depth decided to claim him and start him tonight vs. a lineup that is clicking on all cylinders. Over the last 2 seasons, Gonzalez has essentially been a reverse splits pitcher. Righties have a .430 wOBA vs. him, while showing some pop with a .323 ISO.
Any Cardinals stack right now needs to start with Paul Goldschmidt. He is currently on a heater. Over the last week, Goldy had 4 homers and 6 barrels. He also drove in 11 runs while scoring another 7. This is a matchup that Goldy should absolutely take advantage of. His price is up there at $5.4k on DK tonight, but we’ll have more than enough value with the Pirates to pay up for Goldy.
Next up will be Brendan Donovan. Although he’s tailed off a bit over the last couple of games, he had himself a solid last 7 games. Over the last week, Donovan had 12 hits in 31 AB. While the power hasn’t been there, he did combine for 14 runs and rbi. He’s been productive at the plate and that should continue tonight with a great matchup vs. Gonzalez.
Other Cardinal bats I really like are Tommy Edman, Nolan Arenado, Harrison Bader, and Dylan Carson.
Baltimore Orioles vs. Erick Fedde
The Orioles have been playing some solid baseball recently. They are no longer the laughing stock of the league and have started beating some good teams. Today, they face a bad team and a bad pitcher and should do well. Over the last month, Erick Fedde has pitched to a 6.26 ERA. In his last 4 starts, teams have scored 34 runs.
With Fedde, you want to go either full-stack or no stack at all. He doesn’t give up many homers but he puts a ton of runners on base as he has a 1.74 WHIP over the last month. So you won’t be able to necessarily count on a random homer, you’ll want to count on runners getting on and then a base hit knocking them in. The Orioles are priced in a way tonight where going full-stack is very affordable. Only Austin Hays is over $4k on DK.
I’ll start my Orioles stack with their hottest hitter, Ryan Mountcastle. Over the last week, Mountcastle has 11 hits in 30 AB. 3 of those 11 hits have left the park and he’s combined for 15 runs and RBI. He’s also done very well against righties over the last month, with a .295 ISO. At just $3.9k tonight on DK, he’s very affordable and should be productive. Your decision here will be do you pay up at first and play Goldy or do you go with the value of Mountcastle?
Next up will be Adley Rutschman. The top prospect is starting to show off the bat that made him the first overall pick in the draft a few years ago. Over his last 4 games, he’s driven in 4 runs while garnering 5 hits. In there he also has a pair of doubles and a homer. He’ll look to continue with the momentum he’s been building as he gets more comfortable at the plate.
Other Orioles bats I like here will be Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander, Austin Hays, and Trey Mancini.
MLB DFS Summary
Other places I like for offense tonight will be the Royals vs. the lucky one Reid Detmers, Seattle Mariners vs. James Kaprielian, and the New York Mets vs. Jose Urquidy. Should Jordan Lyles start for the Orioles tonight, I would also like the Washington Nationals a ton. He’s been bad of late and the Josh Bell and Juan Soto would instantly become top bats.
Good luck and hope to see you in the green.
