DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Arizona Diamondbacks - The Diamondbacks will get a great matchup against Christian Friedrich, who has really struggled over his last few games. Arizona is a -137 favorite in a game set at 9.5 runs, and they are one of the best stacking options on the slate.

Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays have one of the best offenses in the MLB, and they get an elite matchup against Chris Young, who has been one of the worst starting pitchers this season. They are -158 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, and Toronto is an elite stacking option tonight.

New York Mets - The Mets offense has been clicking recently, and they remain one of the most powerful offenses in the Majors. Tonight, they get a great matchup against Chen, who has a 5.11 ERA on the season. The Mets are -147 favorites in a game set at 8 runs, and they are a sneaky stacking option tonight.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Madison Bumgarner - Bumgarner has struggled a bit over his last couple of games, but he has been an elite pitcher this season. He has a 2.20 ERA and a great strikeout rate through his first 17 starts. He gets a good matchup against the Rockies, and Bumgarner is a -205 favorite in a game set at 6.5 runs. He can be used in all leagues.

Carlos Carrasco - Carrasco has been dealing with injuries this season, but he is coming off two elite starts. He has scored 40+ fantasy points in each of his last two games, and he gets another great matchup against the Tigers. Detroit has struggled against high strikeout pitchers, and Carrasco can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Sandy Leon - The Red Sox recently stated that Leon would continue to be their catcher, and he has been on fire recently. He's hitting over .400 in limited games this season, and he has been a great fantasy asset. The Red Sox should be able to score plenty of runs tonight, and Leon can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

James Loney - Loney has been playing well for the Mets, and he has been displaying surprising power. He has also been a much better hitter in New York this season. He gets a good matchup against Chen, and Loney isn't a very expensive option. He can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Devon Travis - Travis has been playing well this season for the Blue Jays. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .300 with a solid combination or speed and power. He gets a great matchup against Young, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Tim Anderson - Anderson has looked outstanding this season, specifically at home. He gets a tough matchup against Tanaka, but Anderson has a great combination of speed and power, and he has looked like an elite hitter in Chicago this season. He's best suited for GPPs, though.

Third Base (3B)

Jake Lamb - Lamb has been on absolute fire recently. He's hitting over .350 in his last 10 games with elite power. He gets a great matchup against Friedrich, and the Diamondbacks should be able to score plenty of runs tonight. Lamb can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Mike Trout - If you have the salary to play Mike Trout, he should be used. He's hitting over .500 in his last 10 games with a great combination of speed and power. He's an elite player in the Majors, and he can be used in all leagues.

Juan Lagares - Lagares has been playing well this season, and he has hit left-handed pitching well in his career. He gets a great matchup against a struggling Chen, and Lagares has dominated when playing a full games worth of at-bats. If he's starting, he can be used in all leagues.

Whit Merrifield - Merrifield's price tag dropped because he has been struggling a bit recently. Still, he has decent numbers over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Dickey, and Merrifield is a great option for the Royals tonight.
