MLB DFS Team Stacks Today: Top DraftKings & FanDuel Picks

MLB DFS Team Stacks Today: Best DraftKings & FanDuel Stacks for May 8, 2026
If you’re building MLB DFS tournament lineups tonight, these are the team stacks we are prioritizing most for the May 8, 2026 main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.

These stacks combine strong FantasyLineups.com projections, power upside, lineup correlation, and tournament-winning potential for GPP contests.
Top Projected MLB DFS Stack — Orioles
Baltimore stands out as the top overall stack on tonight’s slate. The Orioles lineup brings power from top to bottom and gives DFS players access to one of the highest projected offenses of the night.
Core Orioles Stack

Adley Rutschman
Pete Alonso
Tyler O’Neill
Coby Mayo
Taylor Ward

Why the Orioles Stand Out
The Orioles offer elite home run upside while still carrying strong RBI potential throughout the middle of the lineup. This is the type of stack that can put multiple hitters at the top of tournament leaderboards if the offense breaks out early.
For MLB DFS tournaments tonight, Baltimore remains one of the safest high-ceiling stacks on both DraftKings and FanDuel.

Second Highest Projected MLB DFS Stack — Athletics
The Athletics continue to project extremely well for GPP contests and remain one of the stronger tournament stacks on the slate.

Core Athletics Stack

Brent Rooker
Shea Langeliers
Nick Kurtz
Tyler Soderstrom

Why the Athletics Stand Out
Oakland brings serious power upside while still allowing flexibility with lineup construction. The pricing helps DFS players fit premium pitching combinations while still building around a stack capable of producing multiple home runs.
The Athletics profile as one of the better tournament stacks for players looking to balance upside and salary flexibility tonight.
MLB DFS Pivot Stack — Mets
The Mets are the pivot stack we would target in larger-field tournaments. While they may not project as highly as Baltimore or Oakland, the upside is still strong enough to win GPP contests if the top stacks disappoint.
Core Mets Stack

Juan Soto
Bo Bichette
Francisco Alvarez
Brett Baty

Why the Mets Work as a Pivot
The Mets offer lower projected ownership while still bringing plenty of power upside through the middle of the lineup. In large-field tournaments, this is the type of stack that can separate lineups if the higher-owned offenses underperform.
