DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays are the top option on the slate. They get a good matchup against Tillman, who is arguably the worst pitcher, and Toronto is a -150 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs. They are likely the safest offense on this slate.

New York Mets - The Mets have been hot recently, and they are the type of offense that can win you a huge tournament. They get a terrible matchup against Bumgarner, but he has struggled at times on the road. The Mets are a GPP only stack.

 

DFS Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Madison Bumgarner - While the Mets do have a high upside offense, they likely won't be scoring much tonight. Bumgarner is a small underdog in a game set at only 6.5 runs. This is the game to attack for starting pitchers on this slate.

Noah Syndergaard - There are only two games on the slate, and the losing pitcher of this game will likely outscore the winning pitcher of the other game. Syndergaard is the favorite, and he comes with a ton of upside. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Matt Wieters - Wieters has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .300 over his last 10 games. He's the most expensive catcher on the slate, but he still isn't very expensive. He can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Edwin Encarnacion - This slate is all about upside, and Encarnacion comes with elite upside. He isn't hitting all that well right now, but he comes with tons of power, and he gets a good matchup against Tillman. Encarnacion is a great option on this slate.

Second Base (2B)

T.J. Rivera - Rivera has looked outstanding since joining the Mets, and he has dominated at home. He gets a terrible matchup against Bumgarner, but he has been a consistent option with good upside. He's also still extremely cheap, and he can be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Asdrubal Cabrera - Cabrera will be a crucial part of a Mets stack on this slate. He has been one of their hottest hitters, and he comes with great upside. He has a cheap price tag because of the matchup, but he has been playing well enough for all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Josh Donaldson - Donaldson is another player that is oozing upside. He gets a good matchup against Tillman, and he's a huge part of the Blue Jays offense. He won't come cheap, but he is an elite option on this slate.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Mark Trumbo - Trumbo has been on fire recently. Over his last 10 games, he's hitting over .350 with great power. He gets a good matchup against Stroman, and Trumbo is a hitter with both consistency and upside. He can be used in all leagues.

Jay Bruce - Bruce is an interesting player. This is a terrible matchup for him, but he is hitting over .400 with elite upside over his last 10 games. He is heating up at the right time for the Mets, and he's a tremendous GPP option.

Ezequiel Carrera - Carrera is hitting over .300 in his last 10 games and he is a cheap option. He gets a good matchup against Tillman, as well. Carrera is the type of player that will allow you to get the more expensive players with more upside in your lineup.
