Top Stacks – One of the most important concepts to understand in DFS MLB.  Watch our daily YouTube live podcast for more information on this understanding/mindset.  Keep in mind it is ok to stack 4 guys or 3 from the same team.  This mathematically increases your chances of “cashing” in tournaments.  It isn’t as necessary to stack in cash games (double ups/heads up).  Below is our rankings starting from the best at number 1.

1. 1. Nationals (-225) –  This is going to be an extremely high scoring slate where you can go to a lot of different teams for exposure with your hitter’s.  For this reason, I think this slate is more pitcher focused as I believe selecting the correct pitcher’s will win you the slate as hitters should be pretty easy to get to.  There are 9 teams on the slate with an implied run total of 5 or higher.  That’s absolutely wild.  The Nationals are implied for 5.5 runs against Jose Urena which I think might lower their ownership due to the fact that he is an “ace” and us DFS players have used him a bit over the past 6 weeks.  The Nationals have really three players with some of the slates highest upside in Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and Anthony Rendon.  Lock these guys in even though you’re paying a pretty price for them.  You want to get exposure to the other Nationals bats but today seems like a day where an “optimal lineup” approach to selecting your bats with mini-stacks would be the best approach opposed to just going a complete 5×3 or 4×4.  Just select players from these 9 teams implied for 5+ runs and hop in the slack chat to see where my thoughts are at pitcher.  Let’s get it!

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Favorite One-Off: Trea Turner
            2. Best Bet for a home run: Bryce Harper
