This report will provide recommended DFS stack options for today’s 13-game main slate. I will also include my favorite pitching picks.
**All plays are listed in order of preference. Please check back between 5-6 PM EST as some players can receive rest days or get limited at bats especially as we get closer to the postseason. Make sure you are watching the weather as well.
MLB Team Stack: Los Angeles Angels
vs. RHP Adam Plutko (CLE): UPDATE
The Angels are in Cleveland tonight facing Adam Plutko. Plutko owns a 4.83 ERA, 6.80 FIP, and 5.35 SIERA. He has a measly 14.5% K rate and struggles with the long ball, allowing 2.50 HR/9 and a 48% fly ball rate. Plutko has struggled against righties, particularly at home. They are slashing to a .371 wOBA, .625 SLG, and .294 OBP. Plutko has shown inconsistency overall so I won’t be afraid to roll out these powerful Angels lefties. The Angels are slashing to a .316 wOBA, .210 ISO, and 100 WRC+ over the last month against right handed pitching.
Preferred Stack: Mike Trout ($4800 FD|$5700 DK), Shohei Ohtani ($3800 FD|$5100 DK), Kole Calhoun ($3300 FD|$4700 DK), and Matthew Thaiss ($2500 FD|$4100 DK).
MLB Team Stack: Minnesota Twins
vs. LHP Danny Duffy: 6.25 Runs
**Low Risk
The Twins were the top stack on the slate as I stated yesterday. They take on an underwhelming Danny Duffy. Duffy owns a 4.42 ERA, 4.73 FIP, and 4.85 SIERA. He hasn’t thrown a lot to lefties, but has struggled in the 24 innings he has. He is allowing them to slash to a .357 wOBA, .457 SLG, and .367 OBP. The Twins are slashing to a .357 wOBA, .223 ISO, and 122 WRC+ over the last month.
Preferred Stack: Nelson Cruz ($4400 FD|$5200 DK), Mitch Garver ($3500 FD|$5500 DK), Miguel Sano ($3800 FD|$4800 DK), and Jonathon Schoop ($2700 FD|$3700 DK).
MLB Team Stack: Philidelphia Phillies
vs. LHP Ross Detwiler (CWS): 6.00
**Low Risk
Ross Detwiler is on the mound tonight for the White Sox. He owns a 6.35 ERA, 6.84 FIP, and 4.39 SIERA over 22 innings pitched. He has a slate low 11.7% K rate and is allowing 2.78 HR/9 innings (inflated stat due to small sample size). Detwiler absolutely gets smashed by right handed batting, allowing them to slash to a .480 wOBA, .726 SLG, and .440 OBP. He has allowed 11 earned runs and six home runs against righties across 15 innings pitched.
Preferred Stack: Rhys Hoskins ($4200 FD|$4600 DK), J.T. Realmuto ($3700 FD|$4500 DK), Jean Segura ($3600 FD|$4300 DK), and Scott Kingery ($3300 FD|$4400 DK).
