DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings
Chicago Cubs vs German Marquez
The Cubs have one of the better offenses in the MLB, and they come with elite upside on a nightly basis. Today, they get a great matchup against Marquez, who enters this game with a 7.31 ERA. They enter the game as -130 favorites in a game set at 11 runs, which gives them a team total of 5.9 runs. That is the most on the slate, and the Cubs are an elite stacking option.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Matthew Boyd
The Diamondbacks have an elite offense when they play at home, as they enter the game with a ridiculous .869 OPS in Arizona. They get a great matchup against Boyd tonight, and he brings a 5.68 road ERA to the table tonight. The Diamondbacks are currently -116 favorites in a game set at 10 runs, and they're another elite stack on this slate.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Chris Archer - vs KC ($10,800)
Archer has struggled a bit on the season, but he has a great strikeout rate, which gives him solid upside. He gets an elite matchup against the Royals tonight, and they rank dead last in the MLB in runs and batting average this season. He's a huge -190 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs, and he's the best pitching option on the slate.
Kenta Maeda - vs PIT ($9,200)
Maeda is arguably the safest pitching option on the slate. He has struggled quite a bit this season, but he has displayed good strikeout potential. He gets a great matchup against a weak Pittsburgh offense tonight, and he will be playing at home. Maeda is a ridiculous -216 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs, and he's a solid option in all leagues.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Evan Gattis - vs ATL ($4,000)
Gattis has been enjoying a great season, especially at home, where he is hitting well over .300. He has been a surprisingly consistent option with tremendous upside for his position. He has also dominated left-handed pitching throughout his career, and he gets a great matchup against Jaime Garcia. He has been playing more than well enough to be used in all leagues.
First Base (1B)
Paul Goldschmidt - vs DET ($4,700)
Goldschmidt is known as a lefty-killer, and he gets an elite matchup against Matthew Boyd tonight. Goldy is hitting over .400 at home this season, including tremendous power. The Diamondbacks should have no problems scoring tonight, and Goldschmidt will be a huge part of that. He's a must start in an Arizona stack.
Second Base (2B)
Jed Lowrie - vs LAA ($3,000)
Lowrie has been enjoying an outstanding season, and he's hitting over .300 with surprising power over his last 10 games. He is a player that generally strings hits together for power, but he has a few home runs in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Jesse Chavez, and he's a safe option with good upside.
Shortstop (SS)
Chris Owings - vs DET ($3,700)
Owings is an interesting option because he can be used at shortstop or outfield. He has played well against left-handed pitching throughout his career, and he's hitting over .300 at home this season. He has displayed good power to go along with great speed this season, and he's hitting near the top of the Diamondbacks lineup. He can safely be used in all leagues.
Third Base (3B)
T.J. Rivera - vs SF ($2,800)
Rivera has been starting at first base for the Mets, and he has been playing at an elite level recently. He's hitting around .350 with good power over his last 10 games. He has also performed well against right-handed pitching, and he gets a great matchup against Matt Cain. Rivera is entirely too cheap, and he can be used in all leagues.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Colby Rasmus - vs KC ($3,400)
Rasmus recently returned from injury, and he has displayed tremendous upside through his first few games. His power has been on full display, as he has a couple of home runs and a triple already. He gets a solid matchup against Jason Hammel, and Rasmus has dominated right-handed pitching in his career. He is also hitting in the middle of the order, and he's a high upside option.
A.J. Pollock - vs DET ($3,900)
Pollock has cooled off a bit recently, but he's hitting nearly .350 in Arizona this season. He has also been a more powerful player at home. He gets a great matchup against Matthew Boyd, and Pollock brings a rare combination of speed and power to the table. He's another elite part of an Arizona stack tonight.
