DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Washington Nationals - The Nationals have a great offense, and they will be playing in Colorado tonight. They get an elite matchup against Chad Bettis, and they are -136 favorites in a game set at 11.5 runs. They can be stacked in all leagues.

Colorado Rockies - The Rockies generally make an elite stacking option when they are playing at home, and that's the case tonight. They get a great matchup against Gio Gonzalez, who has struggled quite a bit this season, and they are underdogs in a game set at 11.5 runs. They may be best suited for GPPs tonight.

Baltimore Orioles - The Orioles have been a great offense at home this season, and they get a great matchup against E-Rod, who has an ERA over 5.00 this season. The O's are -114 favorites in a game set at 10 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Justin Verlander - Verlander struggled a bit to start the season, but he has been on fire recently. Over his last 10 games, he has a 5-1 record with a 2.81 ERA and a 9.8 K/9. He gets a decent matchup against the Royals, and he can be used in all leagues.

Ervin Santana - Santana has quietly been throwing at an elite level recently. Over his last 10 games, he has a 4-2 record with a 2.05 ERA and a 6.5 K/9. He gets a great matchup against a weak Braves offense, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Gary Sanchez - Sanchez has looked great in his limited times in the Majors. He has displayed elite upside, although he gets a tough matchup against Estrada. He'll be playing in a small stadium, and he's an elite GPP option.

First Base (1B)

Joey Votto - Votto has been as hot as anyone recently, as he's hitting over .400 with decent power in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Urena in a hitter friendly stadium, and he can be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

Trea Turner - Turner has been an elite fantasy option this season, as he has displayed elite speed and good power. He gets a great matchup against Bettis in Colorado tonight, and Turner is an elite player in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Jose Reyes - Reyes is healthy for the Mets, and he's now SS eligible on DraftKings. He has been a great fantasy option this season, and he gets a good matchup against Shipley in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Jose Ramirez - Ramirez has been arguably the hottest hitter in the MLB over his last 10 games. He's hitting over .450 with good power and elite speed. He gets a decent matchup against Quintana, and Ramirez can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Jayson Werth - Werth is surprisingly cheap for his situation tonight. He gets a great matchup against Bettis, and he will be playing in Colorado. He has been playing well recently, as well, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Adam Jones - Jones has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .350 with decent power over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against E-Rod, and Jones has dominated left-handed pitching through his career. He's a great play in all leagues.

Aaron Judge - Judge's price tag is surprisingly low for how well he has started his MLB career. He has displayed the elite power that everyone knew he had, but he gets a tough matchup against Estrada tonight. He is playing in an extremely small stadium, though, and Judge is a great option for his low price tag.
