MLB DFS Lineup Advice Today
Wednesday brings a 7-game night slate with the first pitch on both FanDuel and DraftKings at 7:07 PM ET. Similar to last night, there is some rain in the forecast, and the Mets are in Coors Field, although the weather looks more promising for getting every game in than it did last night. Coors Field slates always give us difficult choices when there is a decent offense visiting the Rockies, and things get even more difficult when there are fewer games to choose from.
Let’s sort through the slate and figure out what to do with our DFS lineups.

STACKS
Top Overall Stack: New York Mets
Implied Run Total: 6.02 (1st)
Projected Total Ownership: 122% (FD) / 135% (DK)
Just like last night, I expect the Mets to be the most popular stack on the board, but they should be. Kyle Freeland was able to keep things together for just under 5 innings yesterday, and then the Rockies had to use four relievers for at least an inning without allowing the Mets another run. The Mets will be facing RHP Ryan Feltner, who gives a boost to the left-handed hitters in the lineup with his .481 SLG% allowed to lefties this season. Unlike Freeland, who has had remarkable success in his Coors Field games this season, Feltner has a 6.14 ERA and a .481 SLG% allowed at home this year, making the Mets my top stack.
Brandon Nimmo is my favorite bat for the Mets, as a reasonably affordable OF who leads the projected lineup over the past 2 seasons with a .358 wOBA vs. RHP. Francisco Lindor is a switch hitter who will get the benefit of hitting right-handed against Feltner. I expect Lindor to be less popular than last night, but he still has a .181 ISO and .335 wOBA vs. RHP, adds 23 SBs this year, and he is leading off in Coors Field.
