DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

New York Yankees vs JC Ramirez

The Yankees have been on fire, as they are hitting over .300 as a team over the last week. They are also averaging around 10 runs per game over that span. They won't be playing at home tonight, but they have displayed the ability to score runs away from home this season, as well. They get an elite matchup against Ramirez, who has struggled with a 4.29 ERA this season. He has also been a slightly worse pitcher at home. The Yankees are -135 favorites in a game set at 8.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.

Washington Nationals vs R.A. Dickey 

The Nationals offense has a rare blend of speed and power from the top to the bottom. They have been an elite offense at home, where they have been more consistent and more powerful this season. They get a great matchup against Dickey, who enters the game with a 5.59 road ERA this season. Dickey has struggled in two games against the Nationals this season, and Washington is currently a -208 favorite in a game set at 9.5 runs. They can be stacked in all leagues.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Clayton Kershaw - at CLE ($12,900)

Kershaw has struggled in a few games this season, but he has still been enjoying an elite year. Through 13 games, Kershaw has an 8-2 record with a 2.20 ERA and a 10.1 K/9. He doesn't come with an elite strikeout rate, but he throws deep enough into games for his strikeouts to add up. He gets a tough matchup against the Indians, but Kershaw has been a slightly better option on the road this season, and he's a -157 favorite in a game set at only 7.5 runs tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Scott Feldman - at SD ($7,000)

Feldman is coming off a great performance against the Cardinals, and he has displayed tremendous upside this season. He has struggled more often than not, but he's in a good position tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Padres, who have struggled offensively this season. He will also be throwing in one of the most pitcher friendly stadiums in the MLB. Feldman is a -113 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and he's a great salary relief option at pitcher tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Jason Castro - vs SEA ($3,500)

Castro has struggled quite a bit this season, but he has looked outstanding recently. He comes with a fairly low price tag, but he has been extremely consistent and he has displayed decent upside. He has been a better hitter at home this season, and he gets a good matchup against Christian Bergman. Castro can be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Yonder Alonso - at MIA ($4,100)

Alonso has been on fire recently, as he's hitting over .400 with good power over his last 10 games. He has looked great the entire season, and he gets a good matchup against Jose Urena tonight. Alonso is no longer a cheap option, but he has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues.

Second Base (2B)

 Starlin Castro - at LAA ($4,700)

Castro has been one of the best second baseman in the MLB this season, as he's hitting over .300 with good power. He has also been playing extremely well over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against J.C. Ramirez, and while Castro has been a better option in New York this season, he has been playing well enough on the road to be used in all leagues.

Shortstop (SS)

Trea Turner - vs ATL ($5,400)

Turner has had his ups and downs this season, but his upside is undeniable. He's a shortstop that comes with good power and elite speed. Over his last 10 games, his OBP is nearing .350 and he also has nearly double digit steals in those games. He gets a great matchup against knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, and Turner should be able to successfully steal every chance he gets tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Third Base (3B)

Wilmer Flores - vs CHC ($3,100)

Flores has been playing at an elite level recently, as he's hitting over .350 with good power over his last 10 games. He gets a good matchup against Jon Lester, and Flores has dominated left-handed pitching throughout his career. He has also been a better hitter at home this season, and Flores is surprisingly cheap tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Aaron Judge - at LAA ($5,600)

Judge has been enjoying one of the best rookie seasons in history, as he's hitting nearly .350 with elite power and surprising speed. Judge is also hitting over .400 with nearly double digit extra-base hits over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against J.C. Ramirez, and Judge is a must start in a Yankees stack.

Jaycob Brugman - at MIA ($2,200)

Brugman has been starting for the A's recently, and he's expected to lead off tonight. He already has a few multi-hit games this season, and he gets a good matchup against Jose Urena. Brugman is the type of player that can be used to be able to roster Clayton Kershaw, and he can be used in all leagues as a salary relief option.
