DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings
Texas Rangers - The Rangers get a matchup against Anthony DeSclafani, who only has a 2.08 ERA. He hasn't thrown nearly as well as that ERA indicates, and the Rangers are ridiculous -210 favorites in a game set at 10 runs. They make an elite stacking option tonight.
Baltimore Orioles - The Orioles have one of the most powerful offenses in the MLB this season, and they will be playing at home, where they are a better offense. They get a great matchup against Luis Perdomo, who has an ERA over 8.00 this season. The O's are a -182 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues tonight.
Miami Marlins - The Marlins don't have one of the better offenses in the MLB, but they are a streaky team. They get a great matchup against Bud Norris, who has a 5.60 ERA on the road this season. The Marlins are huge -300 favorites in a game set at 7 runs. They are more of a GPP option tonight.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Jose Fernandez - Fernandez is coming off a bad game, but he had been on fire before that. He has been an elite pitcher this season, and he has one of the best K/9's in the MLB. He gets an elite matchup against the Braves, and he's a -300 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs. He can be used in all leagues.
Aaron Nola - Nola has been a mixed bag this season, but he has looked good on the road. Through seven road starts, he has a 3-1 record with a 2.27 ERA and an 8.9 K/9. He gets a good matchup against the Twins, and Nola is a -116 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs. He's best suited for GPPs tonight.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
J.T. Realmuto - Realmuto has been on fire recently. He's hitting over .300 with decent power in his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against Bud Norris tonight, and Realmuto is a great option in all leagues.
First Base (1B)
Prince Fielder - Fielder has really struggled to display upside recently, which has caused his price to drop a bit. He gets a great matchup against DeSclafani, and Fielder is a cheaper way to get a piece of the Rangers offense.
Second Base (2B)
Rougned Odor - Odor is on fire right now. He is hitting well over .300 in his last 10 games, and he has displayed great power. He also has good speed, and he's an extremely consistent player with great upside. He gets an elite matchup against the Reds pitching staff, and Odor can be used in all leagues tonight.
Shortstop (SS)
Zack Cozart - Cozart has been heating up over his last few games. He has a few extra-base hits over that span, and he gets a great matchup against Lewis tonight. This game is expected to feature a ton of runs, and Cozart is a great GPP option.
Third Base (3B)
Adrian Beltre - Beltre hasn't been playing all that well recently, but he also hasn't been struggling. He's a fairly cheap option, especially with his matchup against the Reds. Beltre has great upside, and he's best suited for GPPs tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Ian Desmond - Desmond has been enjoying a great season. He's hitting over .300 with good power and speed. He gets an elite matchup against the Reds pitching staff, and Desmond can be used in all leagues, especially Rangers stacks.
Jayson Werth - Werth's price shot back up tonight, but he gets a good matchup against Kazmir tonight. Werth has dominated left-handed pitching this season, and he has been on fire recently. He can be used in all leagues tonight.
Carlos Gomez - Gomez looks like he's finally healthy and his numbers are on the rise. He's hitting over .300 in his last 10 games, and he has displayed a decent combination of power and speed. He gets a great matchup against Santiago, and he can be used in all leagues.
