The King’s DFS Stacks for 6/17: Load Up on L.A.

196

My favorite stacks can be found in Los Angeles tonight. One is a usual quality lineup, and the other is one I would rarely recommend as a stack, obviously.

I will start with the Dodgers against San Francisco’s Tyler Beede and his 8.60 ERA. He is 0-2 with an 8.80 road ERA. Cody Bellinger ($5,700 on DraftKings) homered on Sunday and is hitting .397 with 15 homers and 33 RBI at home. Alex Verdugo is at .345 at home with 18 RBI in 35 games and should be ready to rip after an off day. He is a prime play at 4,000. Max Muncy (5,000) is hitting .291 with five home runs and 20 RBI at home. Catchers Russell Martin and Austin Barnes are both under 3,600 and can be used as salary savers. Also consider Kike Hernandez at 3,500 as is Chris Taylor. Joc Pederson gets the lefty platoon split at 4,600.

Of course we have to stack anyone against Edwin Jackson and his 10.22 ERA. Splits don’t matter, get all possible Angels bats in there that have any modicum of respectability. You have to spend the 5600 on Mike Trout against any mediocre or less starter and then build around him. Cesar Puello (4200) is hitting .345 at home and is at 4,200 on DK. Tommy La Stella (4700) is hitting .345 with five homers and 14 RBI at home. Shohei Ohtani (5100) is hitting .299 at home with 15 RBI. You can try and save some cash with Justin Bour at 3800 and Jonathan Lucroy at 3300. Justin Upton finally returns to the lineup and is a GPP value play at 3900. He fits nicely into the stack at the right time.

Andrew Cashner has a 5.05 road ERA and splits do not matter against him, as RHBs have a .305 BA vs. Cashner. He faces the A’s in a pitcher’s venue, so the Oakland stack is GPP only. Khris Davis will be the obvious play, and Robbie Grossman (4300) is hitting .319 with 15 RBI and 14 runs scored at home. Marcus Semien (4400) is hitting .304 with five homers and 22 RBI at home. Matt Olson (4800) has a .292 home BA with seven homers in 19 games. Josh Phegley has six home HRs with 30 RBI and is just 3900.
