MLB DFS Lineup Advice Today
We have a 10-game slate on both FanDuel and DraftKings that seems longer on hitting than it does on pitching, with the first pitch for the slate at 7:05 PM ET, headlined by the Dodgers in Coors Field, but that is far from the only spot to like for offense. There is some rain in Minnesota in the forecast as well, so make sure you are paying attention to the latest weather forecast and tuning in to Crunch Time to get the latest updates Let’s sort through the slate and figure out what to do with our DFS lineups.
Top MLB DFS Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel
Top Stacks
Overall Stack: Los Angeles Dodgers
Implied Run Total: 6.37 (1st)
Projected Total Ownership: 84% (FD) / 87% (DK)
The Dodgers are the team with the highest wOBA vs. LHP in the majors this season, and they are facing a lefty Austin Gomber. They’re also facing him in Coors Field, the park with the biggest boost to runs in MLB. You can make an argument for fading the Dodgers based on pOwn% or price, or you could try to pick just one hitter from the team you think will have an outlier performance, but if you’re calling something the “Top Overall Stack,” you probably have to start with the Dodgers.
Shohei Ohtani is the headliner as he often is, ranking 3rd in MLB in SLG% and 4th in wOBA, and with a .226 ISO and .367 wOBA vs. LHP since the start of last season. Ohtani is also the most expensive hitter on the slate, so for points-per-dollar, Andy Pages may be even better with a career .362 wOBA vs. LHP. Will Smith (.247 ISO, .390 wOBA) and Teoscar Hernandez (.271 ISO, .362 wOBA) are two other hitters I’ll be targeting from the right side of the plate.
