DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Houston Astros vs Bartolo Colon

The Astros have been playing well early this season, and they are a team with plenty of upside. They have the second best batting average in the MLB to go along with the eighth most runs and home runs. They get an elite matchup against Colon, who has struggled this season with a 6.27 ERA. The Astros are -203 favorites in a game set at 8.5 runs, and they're an elite stacking option in all leagues.

Cincinnati Reds vs C.C. Sabathia 

The Reds have quietly been enjoying an elite offensive season, as they rank fifth in the MLB in batting average, third in runs, and seventh in home runs. They have also been a slightly more powerful offense against left-handed pitching, and they get a great matchup against Sabathia. He has struggled with a 5.46 ERA this season, and they Reds enter this game as -105 favorites with the run total set at 9 runs. They're another elite stacking option.

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Charlie Morton - vs ATL ($7,600)

Morton has looked outstanding this season, especially at home. He enters this game with a 3-0 record, 2.63 ERA, and 10.1 K/9 through four home starts. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Braves, who have struggled offensively this season. Morton has also been hot recently, scoring 27.3 and 31.6 fantasy points in his last two games. He's a huge -203 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and he's an elite option on this slate.

Julio Urias - vs PIT ($8,000)

Urias has struggled with control this season, but he has displayed plenty of upside throughout his career. He has a solid 9.4 K/9 to go along with an elite home run rate. He gets a good matchup against the Pirates, who have struggled quite a bit this season. He'll also be playing in a pitcher friendly stadium, and he is a -171 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs.

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

James McCann - at ARI ($2,900)

McCann has struggled to hit for consistency this season, as he's hitting under .150, but 60% of his hits have been home runs. He has elite power for the position, and he has been a significantly better hitter against left-handed pitching throughout his career. He'll also be playing in a hitter friendly stadium tonight, and he's a high upside salary relief option in GPPs.

First Base (1B)

Matt Holliday - at CIN ($4,100)

Holliday got off to a terrible start this season, but he's hitting over .350 with plenty of power. Surprisingly, he has been a significantly better hitter on the road this season, and he gets a good matchup against Tim Adleman tonight. He's hitting in a favorable position in the Yankees lineup, and Holliday is a high upside option.

Second Base (2B)

Robinson Cano - at PHI ($4,300)

Cano is always an interesting option when he's playing in a hitter friendly stadium. He's only hitting .275 over his last 10 games, but he has been extremely consistent with plenty of upside during that span. He gets a great matchup against Jerad Eickhoff, and Cano is an elite option tonight.

Shortstop (SS)

Carlos Correa - vs ATL ($4,800)

Correa has been heating up recently, and he's hitting nearly .350 with decent power over his last 10 games. He's also hitting over .300 with plenty of power in Houston this season. He gets a good matchup against the slow throwing Bartolo Colon, and Correa can be used in all leagues tonight.

Third Base (3B)

Todd Frazier - vs MIN ($4,200)

Frazier has struggled quite a bit early on this season, but he comes with tremendous power. He gets a great matchup against Hector Santiago, and Frazier is a significantly better option against left-handed pitching. He's strictly a tournament option on this slate.

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Billy Hamilton - vs NYY ($4,200)

Hamilton has looked unbelievable recently, as he's hitting over .300 with a great combination of speed and power over his last 10 games. He has nearly double digit steals over that span, and he has displayed as much upside as any hitter on this slate because of that span. He gets an elite matchup against C.C. Sabathia, and Hamilton can be used in all leagues.

Aaron Judge - at CIN ($4,600)

Judge is one of the most powerful players in the MLB. He's hitting over .350 with over 50% of his hits going for extra-bases over the last 10 games. The majority of those extra-base hits were home runs, as well. He's playing in an extremely hitter friendly stadium tonight, and he gets a good matchup against Tim Adleman. Judge has been playing more than well enough to be used in all leagues.
