DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings
New York Yankees vs Rick Porcello
The Yankees have had one of the best offenses in the MLB this season, especially when they play at home. They get a good matchup against Porcello, who has somewhat struggled with a 4.24 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 12 starts. The Yankees are a -141 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs, which gives them the highest team total on the slate. They can safely be used in all leagues tonight.
Seattle Mariners vs Adalberto Mejia
The Mariners have caught fire as an offense recently, as they are hitting nearly .350 as a team over the last week. They're averaging slightly under 10 runs per game over that span, and they get a solid matchup against Mejia. Mejia enters the game with a 3.95 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through six starts. The Mariners are -129 favorites in a game set at 9 runs, and they can be stacked in all leagues.
DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings
Dallas Keuchel - at KC ($12,500)
Keuchel has been enjoying an elite season, as he brings an impressive 9-0 record, 1.67 ERA, and 8.2 K/9 through 11 starts. He doesn't have a standout strikeout rate, but he pitches deep into games, which adds to his upside. He gets a great matchup against the Royals in a pitcher friendly stadium, and Keuchel is a -165 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. He can safely be used in all leagues.
Alex Meyer - at DET ($6,000)
Meyer has struggled quite a bit this season, but he has looked much better over his last four games. Over that span, he has a 2-1 record, a 3.32 ERA, and a 10.4 K/9. He's still extremely cheap, and he gets a decent matchup against the Tigers, who have struggled at times against right-handed pitching this season. Meyer may be best suited for tournaments on this slate.
DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings
Catcher (C)
Gary Sanchez - vs BOS ($4,600)
Sanchez has been struggling over his last 10 games, but his upside for his position is undeniable. He has been a better fantasy option on the road this season, but that is due to limited games in New York. He'll be playing in an extremely hitter friendly stadium tonight, and he gets a solid matchup against Rick Porcello. Sanchez is a crucial part of a Yankees stack on this slate.
First Base (1B)
Matt Carpenter - at CIN ($4,100)
Carpenter is another player that has been struggling a bit recently, but is in a good spot tonight. He has hit right-handed pitching well throughout his career, and he gets a good matchup against Bronson Arroyo. He has also been a better hitter on the road, and he'll be playing in a hitter friendly stadium tonight. Carpenter may be best suited for tournaments tonight.
Second Base (2B)
Brandon Phillips - vs PHI ($3,200)
Phillips has been an elite hitter at home this season, as he's hitting over .350 with a small amount of power and speed in Atlanta this season. He gets a good matchup against Jerad Eickhoff, who has struggled this season. Phillips is still fairly cheap, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Shortstop (SS)
Zack Cozart - vs STL ($4,800)
Cozart continues to enjoy an elite season, as he's hitting well over .350 with elite power over his last 10 games. He's a player that also comes with good speed, and he gets a matchup against Lance Lynn tonight. Cozart isn't going to come cheap, but he has been playing more than well enough to be used in all leagues.
Third Base (3B)
Joey Gallo - vs NYM ($4,300)
Gallo has had his ups and downs this season, but he has displayed tremendous power. He's closing in on 20 home runs, and he gets a good matchup against Zack Wheeler tonight. Gallo also comes with surprising speed, and he's a high upside tournament option on this slate tonight.
DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings
Aaron Judge - vs BOS ($5,300)
Judge has caught fire once again, as he's hitting over .350 with elite power and good speed over his last 10 games. He's also hitting well over .350 at home this season. Furthermore, Judge has an elite 1.223 OPS in New York this season. He gets a good matchup against Rick Porcello, and Judge can be used in all leagues.
Chris Young - at NYY ($3,200)
Young has been playing well recently, as he's hitting over .300 over his last 10 games. With that being said, he has struggled to display upside over that span. He gets a good matchup against C.C. Sabathia, and Young has hit left-handed pitching well throughout his career. He is hitting high in the Red Sox lineup, and Young is a solid salary relief option.
