DFS Lineup Stacks to Target on DraftKings

Washington Nationals vs German Marquez

The Nationals are going to be a popular stack tonight, and for good reason. They get an elite matchup against Marquez, who brings a terrible 1.683 WHIP into the game. He also has struggled with a 6.7 K/9, which means the ball will be in play plenty tonight. Washington has an extremely powerful offense, and they are -116 favorites in a game set at 11.5 runs. That gives them a projected run total of 6, which is the highest on the slate. They're an elite stacking option in all leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Clayton Richard

Richard has looked good for the most part this season, but his career has been much different. He has a 1.409 WHIP and 5.5 K/9 through his career. He also has a career 4.19 ERA. He will be playing in an extremely hitter friendly stadium tonight, and the Diamondbacks are -141 favorites in a game set at 9.5 runs. They have the highest projected team total outside of Coors tonight, and they're a high upside stacking option.

 

DFS Starting Pitchers to Consider on DraftKings

Clayton Kershaw - at SF, $14,300

Kershaw isn't going to come cheap, but he's the best option on the slate. He has scored at least 30 fantasy points in each of his three games outside of Coors Field this season. He has an elite 0.724 WHIP and 10.697 K/9. He's a player that pitches deep into games, and he is a massive -210 favorite in a game set at only 6.5 runs. He can be used in all leagues he fits in.

Robert Gsellman - vs ATL, $7,000

Gsellman is a cheap option to pair with Kershaw tonight. He has limited home runs and comes with an impressive 9.193 K/9. He has displayed the ability to pitch deep into games, and he gets a solid matchup against the Braves offense tonight. He enters the game as a -129 favorite in a game set at only 7 runs. It isn't often there is a cheap pitcher with a high strikeout rate who is favorited in a low scoring game. Take advantage of Gsellman tonight.

 

DFS Infielders to Consider on DraftKings

Catcher (C)

Jeff Bandy - vs CIN, $2,800

Bandy has been playing at an unbelievable level this season, as he's hitting for a .308 average with six extra-base hits and six RBIs in 12 games. He has been extremely consistent with elite upside, and he continues to come with a ridiculous price tag. He can safely be used in all leagues.

First Base (1B)

Jay Bruce - vs ATL, $3,400

Bruce is finally first base eligible, and it's time to take advantage of that. He has displayed great power this season, and he enters the game with a 0.099 wOBA and 0.106 ISO differential against right-handed pitching. He gets a tough matchup against Teheran, though, and Bruce is best suited for GPPs tonight.

Second Base (2B)

Austin Barnes - at SF, $2,700

Barnes has looked good in limited playing time this season, and he's expected to draw the start against the lefty tonight. Barnes has a 0.017 wOBA and 0.118 ISO differential against left-handed pitching. Barnes has a surprising combination of power and speed, and he's a great salary relief option.

Shortstop (SS)

Trea Turner - at COL, $5,100

Turner has been dealing with injuries this season, but he's a player that comes with a tremendous blend of power and speed. He's hitting high in one of the best lineups in the MLB, and Turner will be in a great spot to score fantasy points tonight. He also gets a great matchup, and he's a high upside option in all leagues, although he does come with an extremely high price tag.

Third Base (3B)

Jedd Gyorko - vs TOR, $3,400

Gyorko has caught fire recently, as he's hitting over .350 with six extra-base hits, four RBIs, and one steal over his last 10 games. He has also dominated right-handed pitching with a 0.023 wOBA and 0.115 ISO differential this season. He's playing well enough to be used in all leagues.

 

DFS Outfielders to Consider on DraftKings

Bryce Harper - at COL, $6,100

Harper has been playing at an unbelievable level recently, as he's hitting for a .405 average with nine extra-base hits and 12 RBIs over his last 10 games. He gets an elite matchup in the most hitter friendly stadium in the MLB tonight. He isn't going to come cheap, but Harper is the best hitting option in all leagues tonight.

Yasmany Tomas - vs SD, $4,000

Tomas has looked great at home this season, as he's hitting well over .300 with great power early on. He gets a great matchup against Richard, and Tomas has a 0.105 wOBA and 0.08 ISO differential against left-handed pitching. Tomas will also be hitting in the heart of the Diamondbacks order, and he's a high upside tournament option.

 

DFS Hitters to Avoid on DraftKings

Jayson Werth - at COL, $4,800

Werth has looked decent this season, but he's extremely expensive because of the matchup in Coors. He's far from the best option on the Nationals, and there is no real reason to use him over the other players. Werth also enters this game with a -0.153 wOBA and -0.197 ISO different against right-handed pitching. He has struggled to hit the ball in the air, as well, as he has a 55% ground ball rate on the season. He's one of few players to avoid in Coors.
