MLB DFS Lineup Advice Today
Tuesday night brings us a large slate starting at 7:10 PM ET on both FanDuel and DraftKings that has already been impacted by weather, with the KC/STL game getting postponed this afternoon. We also have weather concerns in a few other games, and the MIN/CWS looks particularly dicey. You can find more specifics on our MLB weather page.
We have one high-strikeout pitcher on the mound in Chris Sale, but with some hot but high-priced hitters like Corey Seager and Rafael Devers on the slate, we’ll have some decisions to make.
Let’s sort through the slate and figure out what to do with our DFS lineups.
Top MLB DFS Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel
STACKS
Top Overall Stack: Boston Red Sox
Implied Run Total: 6.16 (1st)
Projected Total Ownership: 100% (FD) / 87% (DK)
The Red Sox will be a popular stack, but the numbers tell us that they should be with a Coors-esque 6.16 implied run total facing RHP Joey Estes and the Athletics in Fenway. Boston ranks 5th in SLG% and 8th in wOBA vs. RHP this season. Their recent performance has been excellent, ranking 6th in ISO, SLG%, and wOBA over the past 30 days, and the team is a dual threat, ranking 3rd in SBs over the same time frame.
Speaking of recent performance, no hitter in baseball has been hotter than Rafael Devers over the past 14 days. Devers has a .539 wOBA and a .533 ISO over the past 2 weeks, with 6 HRs in 45 plate appearances, and he carries a .448 wOBA vs. RHP this season. Jarren Duran is another hitter to consider spending up on. He has a .256 ISO and a .382 wOBA this year.
