DraftKings MLB Stack Options:

Houston Astros vs. Aaron Brooks:

Brooks has given up five runs in five innings against the Astros this year. The fact that he’s starting now shouldn’t make a difference. George Springer has two homers off of him already. Brantley is 3-6 with a homer. Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez are all hitting very well over the last couple of weeks. You really don’t need to dig any deeper. This stack is expensive, but should be worth it in Baltimore.

New York Mets vs. Patrick Corbin:

Hear me out: Corbin has a 5.32 road ERA. That alone is cause for alarm. The Mets haven’t hit Corbin well, but they have crushed him with 11 homers in just 127 at bats. Michael Conforto has four of those in just 17 at bats! J.D. Davis and Amed Rosario have each homered twice against Corbin. Todd Frazier, Juan Lagares, and Pete Alonso have one each. No other pitcher on the slate has given up more homers to tonight’s opponent. This is the time to attack Corbin if for no reason other than massive leverage.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Joe Musgrove:

The Cardinals have blasted Joe Musgrove every time they’ve seen him this year. Even when the offense was cold, they teed off on Musgrove. Musgrove has allowed 19 runs in just 12.2 innings to the Cardinals. This is the time to take advantage of those low prices. Dexter Fowler, Goldy, and Wong have the homers, but that is Wong’s only hit in 12 tries. We don’t need to settle here. Marcell Ozuna, Matt Carpenter, Tommy Edman, and Jose Martinez are all hitting .300 or better off Musgrove.
