Top MLB DFS Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel
Top Stacks
Overall Stack: Cincinnati Reds
Implied Run Total: 4.12 (10th)
Projected Total Ownership: 50% (FD) / 45% (DK)
I like to prioritize road teams with power and speed, and the Reds fit that description in Arizona facing RHP Slade Cecconi. Cincy leads the league with 73 SBs, which is 19 more than the team in 3rd place (Milwaukee). Cecconi was able to strike out more than a batter per inning last season in Triple-A (118 Ks in 116.1 IP), but he also racked up a 6.11 ERA. In the majors this season, he’s allowed just 10 ERs over his first 4 starts, but he also has just a 20.2% K%.
Elly De La Cruz leads the Reds with 25 SBs along with a .245 ISO and .363 wOBA against RHP since the start of last season. De La Cruz ranks 2nd in fantasy points per game this season among hitters with at least 20 games, and he has three times as many SBs (25) as Mookie Betts (8), the hitter who ranks 3rd in fantasy points per game. Will Benson (.238 ISO, .382 wOBA) and Mike Ford (.267 ISO, .342 wOBA) are affordable pieces with upside.
