Today’s MLB DFS is brimming with opportunities to exploit matchups featuring potent offenses against weaker pitching. Below is an analysis of the best offensive stacks for both the Early and Turbo slates, explaining why these stacks are positioned for success and how they can maximize your DFS outcomes.
Early Slate Top Stacks
Los Angeles Angels vs. Dean Kremer (Baltimore Orioles)
Key Points:
Dean Kremer’s Stats: Kremer’s vulnerability is shown with a 4.21 ERA and a .381 xWOBA against left-handed hitters.
Angels’ Key Hitters:Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Jared Walsh are particularly lethal against right-handed pitching, with high ISO and xWOBA making them ideal for stacking.
Why This Stack: The Angels’ sluggers can exploit Kremer’s tendency to allow hard contact and high xWOBA, especially his struggles against left-handers.
New York Mets vs. Blake Snell (San Francisco Giants)
Key Points:
Blake Snell’s Stats: Despite a respectable ERA, Snell’s high walk rate (13%) and susceptibility to right-handed power (.116 ISO allowed) can be exploited.
Why This Stack: Snell’s inconsistency with walks and allowing power hits presents a prime opportunity for the Mets’ top bats to accumulate runs.
Under the Radar:
Baltimore Orioles vs. Tyler Anderson (Los Angeles Angels)
Tyler Anderson’s Stats: Anderson’s 4.82 ERA and his generosity towards right-hand hitters are notable vulnerabilities.
Orioles’ Key Hitters:Austin Hays and Ryan Mountcastle show effective splits against left-handed pitching, making them sleeper picks with high potential.
