Top MLB Stacks Today:
If you’re building MLB DFS lineups today, there are two offenses standing out as the obvious stacking choices based on projections, matchup strength, and overall run upside. But if you want to beat the field in GPPs, there’s also one pivot stack worth targeting.
Obvious Stack #1: San Diego Padres
The Padres project as one of the strongest offenses on the slate and will likely be one of the most popular stacks on both DraftKings and FanDuel.
Why They Stand Out
- Elite top-of-order bats
- Strong run-scoring upside
- Multiple power + speed options
- Reliable floor with tournament ceiling
Core Targets
- Fernando Tatis Jr.
- Manny Machado
- Jackson Merrill
- Xander Bogaerts
If you’re playing cash games or want to stay with the top projected offense, San Diego is hard to ignore.
Obvious Stack #2: Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona grades out as another top-tier stack with a lineup that can score in multiple ways.
Why They Stand Out
- Speed creates fantasy points quickly
- Balanced lineup from top to bottom
- Strong correlation for full stacks
- High upside in tournaments and cash
Core Targets
- Corbin Carroll
- Ketel Marte
- Christian Walker
- Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
Arizona is one of the safest full-stack options on the slate.
Pivot Stack: Los Angeles Angels
If the Padres and Diamondbacks become popular, the Angels are one of the best ways to gain leverage while still keeping upside.
Why They Make Sense
- Lower ownership than top stacks
- Plenty of home run upside
- Salary flexibility
- Strong tournament leverage
Core Targets
- Mike Trout
- Zach Neto
- Jo Adell
- Jorge Soler
If the Angels break out while chalk offenses disappoint, this is the type of stack that can vault lineups up tournaments.
