DraftKings MLB Stack Options:

New York Yankees vs. Taylor Clarke:

Clarke has been terrible in larger stadiums against lineups that don’t have a DH. What do you think is going to happen to him here? This is one of those stacks that make it okay to fade Coors for. Lefties hit him well, but righties actually crush Clarke. That moves Aaron Judge, Edwin, DJ LeMahieu, and a reborn Cameron Maybin as slightly better picks than Gregorius and Aaron Hicks. I don’t think you can go wrong anywhere in this lineup though. There is something to fit every budget.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. J.A. Happ:

Happ has been torched at home, and this is not a good spot for him. Arizona hits lefties well, and this should be no exception. Ketel Marte and Eduardo Escobar are the expensive plays, but I find myself leaning more towards Christian Walker, Adam Jones, and Nick Ahmed. Any of the five are really good options. I really like Kevin Cron too if he gets the start at DH.

Texas Rangers vs. Mike Leake:

Leake is a damn troll! He only gave up three runs in two home games against two teams that have ravaged him in the past. All three were to Texas. The Rangers are hitting .355 against Leake with ten homers and 37 runs in 211 at bats. It’s great hitting weather in Arlington, so stack up! Rougned Odor is my starting place. He hit the only homer against Leake last week and he now has three homers and 10 RBI in just 22 at bats! Asdrubal Cabrera and Choo each have a pair of homers as well. Mazara, Elvis Andrus, and Hunter Pence have the others. All of them hit Leake well, so take your pick! It’s getting ugly tonight in the Texas heat!

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Kyle Freeland:

By some miracle, the Dodgers only have one homer against Freeland, but they are hitting .458 in 59 at bats with ten runs. Think about that. .458 in 59 at bats! Pollock has the only homer, and is one of the cheaper Dodgers. Sign me up! Cody Bellinger, Joc Pederson, Justin Turner, and Corey Seager are all hitting above .500 against Freeland. My great regret is that Kike is on the IL, but Chris Taylor still lurks at a nice price.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Drew VerHagen:

Maybe I’m picking on VerHagen, but do you blame me? He has a 14.40 ERA in 10 innings! The Mariners just whacked him all over T-Mobile last week. This is going to be a massacre! Mike Trout, Ohtani, Kole Calhoun, Andrelton Simmons, and Justin Upton are my stack even if it uses all my OF slots. There isn’t a bad pick 1-9 in this lineup though. They will all get their hacks at this hack.
